【題目】How to Save More and Spend Less

There are many simple ways to save more money without feeling the pain. You can even turn it into a challenge or a game to make it more enjoyable.

【1】

You went shopping and now your pocket is heavy with loose change. Count it, keep what you might need for bus tickets and put the rest in a piggy bank. After two months, empty the piggy bank and deposit(存儲(chǔ)) the amount in your saving account.

Give up your expensive habits.

Cut down on the beer and cigarettes. Not only will this keep you healthier, but it’ll let you save up on unwanted expenses. 【2】 If you don’t stop now, you’ll end up paying a lot more for them anyway.

Visit ATMs less often.

Reducing the times you use the ATM can help you cut down on your costs. 【3】 By doing so you won’t have to make unnecessary withdrawals(取款).

Use cash.

Every time you use your credit card or cellphone to pay for something, you’re losing track of exactly how much you’ re spending. If you’re buying something, buy it with cash. This will give you a clearer idea of how much you’re actually spending. 【4】

Carry your own bag when shopping.

With the government taking measures to reduce plastic usage, most shops have moved onto paper and cloth bags. 【5】 Instead of paying for these, carry your own bag.

A. Save your change.

B. Instead of turning to those machines, manage your finance well.

C. However, these are more expensive when compared to plastic ones.

D. Seeing more money leaving your hands, you’ ll be more aware of spending.

E. Even the government is increasing the tax on these to reduce the use of them.

【答案】

【1】A

【2】E

【3】B

【4】D

【5】C

【解析】文章講述的是如何節(jié)約更多花費(fèi)更少的一些建議。

【1】A

此空是小標(biāo)題。根據(jù)下文：去購物，把多余的零錢，放在儲(chǔ)蓄罐，兩個(gè)月之后，清空儲(chǔ)蓄罐，存入儲(chǔ)蓄賬戶�？芍颂幍男�(biāo)題應(yīng)該是“節(jié)約零錢”。故選A。

【2】E

根據(jù)空格上文：削減啤酒和煙的開支，這不僅使你的身體更健康，它會(huì)讓你節(jié)省了不必要的開支。再根據(jù)空格下句：如果你現(xiàn)在不停止，不管怎樣，你最終會(huì)為他們付出更多�？芍�E項(xiàng)，（Even the government is increasing the tax on these to reduce the use of them.甚至政府也在增加這些稅以減少他們的使用。）符合題意。

【3】B

根據(jù)上文：減少使用ATM的時(shí)間可以幫助你降低成本。再根據(jù)空格下句：這樣做你就不必進(jìn)行不必要的提款。可知此處的意思是：與其轉(zhuǎn)向那些機(jī)器，不如好好管理你的財(cái)務(wù)。故選B。

【4】D

根據(jù)上文：用現(xiàn)金買東西，這會(huì)讓你更清楚地知道你實(shí)際上花了多少錢�？芍颂幰磉_(dá)的意思是：看到更多的錢離開你的手，你會(huì)更加注意消費(fèi)。故選D。

【5】C

根據(jù)上文：隨著政府采取措施減少塑料的使用，大多數(shù)商店都有了紙袋和布袋。再根據(jù)空格下句：Instead of paying for these, carry your own bag. 代替支付這些費(fèi)用，攜帶自己的袋子。可知C項(xiàng)（ However, these are more expensive when compared to plastic ones.然而，與塑料袋相比這更昂貴。）符合題意。

While going through life with the pursuit of money on our mind, we're often told that money can't buy happiness. But what truth is there in the saying? Is there a relation between money and happiness? 【1】

Humans are very sensitive to change. When we get a rise, we really enjoy it. But some studies have shown that in North America, additional income beyond 75,000 dollars a year stops impacting day-to-day happiness. 【2】 They often end up spending all the money, going into debt, and experience ruined social relationships.

So surely money can't really buy happiness. Well, recent studies suggest that the problem may actually be in the way that we spend money. 【3】 Studies show that people who spend their money on others feel happier. As for the people who spend money on themselves, their happiness is unchanged.

【4】 0ne experiment showed that instead of an organization writing a large check to a charity, dividing the amount up among employees, allowing them to contribute to a charity of their choice, increased their job satisfaction. Similarly, individuals that spend money on each other, as opposed to themselves, not only increase job satisfaction, but improve the team performance.

【5】 Interestingly, the specific way money is spent on others isn't important. Spending something on others is the important aspect of increasing your happiness.

A. The same principle has been tested on teams and organizations as well.

B. Money has more effect on the vast majority of people in the long run.

C. Instead of buying things for yourself, try giving some of it to other people and see how you feel.

D. And if so, how can we use it to our advantage?

E. Almost everywhere we look in the world, we see that giving money to others is positively related to happiness,

F. And while you're saving up for these greatest experiences, don't forget the daily joys in life.

G. In fact, people who win a lottery often report becoming extremely unhappy.

【題目】Science and technology have advanced at such a rate that cloning has now become a reality. The possibility of cloning humans is a serious issue(爭(zhēng)論點(diǎn)) and raises ethical(倫理的) questions. In my opinion, cloning is useful for research into cures for disease. However, I think that it needs to be approached with caution and carefully monitored by governments.

Research into cloning and stem(嚴(yán)格的) cell production is primarily aimed at finding new treatments for currently incurable illnesses. While this would improve the quality of life for many, not enough is understood about what effects cloning would have on the world in the future. This is primarily because we do not understand enough about the results of cloning and both the physical and psychological effects that it is likely to have on cloned humans and on the rest of the world. Furthermore, it is thought that a cloned human would be unlikely to survive birth and would suffer from complications(并發(fā)癥) resulting from malformed(畸形) organs .

There are also serious ethical issues in danger. In essence(在本質(zhì)上), those who are against cloning would argue that scientists have no right to play God and to interfere(干擾)with natural processes. Producing embryos for the purpose of harvesting stem cells for research presents important questions about the nature and status of the embryo being produced. It may also make us question whether throwing it away after use reduces the value we place on human life.

In conclusion, I do not agree that research into cloning using human embryos should continue. This is not only because it may reduce the value we place on human life, but also because not enough is known about the effects. However, I do think that if there is a way to produce stem cells using cloning which does not put human life at risk, then governments should continue to support it.

【1】What is the writer’s general opinion on cloning?

A. It is useful in every area of research.

B. It needs to be carefully controlled by governments.

C. It is useful for research into cures for disease if it is controlled.

D. It is only useful for research into cures for disease.

【2】The underlined word “approach” in the first paragraph means “______”

A. reach a high level or amount B. move forward

C. come near D. deal with

【3】The writer’s main reason against cloning is that ______.

A. not enough is known about the effects of cloning

B. a cloned human would be likely to die of malformed organs

C. cloning has negative physical and psychological effects on clones

D. it would affect the quality of life for many

【4】In the last paragraph, the writer thinks governments should______

A. not put human life at risk

B. support all forms of research into stern cell production

C. not support any form of research into stern cell production

D. support research into stern cell production harmless to humans life
