Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
We all know your student loan will only go so far.So what can you do to save those pennies (便士) and eventually a pretty substantial amount in the long run Here is some advice from Marianne Lampon.
FOOD
—Buy the supermarket's own-brand products：When it comes to items such as cheese, milk, and more, the own-brand products can be bought much cheaper but without lowering the quality.
—Coupons (优惠券), coupons, coupons：It's really worth hitting the Internet for some extra coupons, especially for meals out with a big group.Keep an eye on restaurants that offer a cheaper set menu or that do 2 for 1 deals on main courses.
STUDENT-ONLY OFFERS
—Freshers' Fair：Say hello to free pens, bottle-openers and a bunch of things you never knew you needed.Freshers get involved!
—Student discount in stores and online：Showing your university ID card will save you at least 10% with a lot of online or offline business.As a result, you'll feel slightly less guilty about buying those new pairs of shoes.
FASHION
The shift from summer to autumn can be a sad time, but it needn't hurt your wallet!
—Accessories (配饰)：Basically，wear your summer clothes with warm and comfortable accessories.How about those shorts Just team them with a pair of tights and you're good to go.
—Charity shops：Going there is the perfect way to stay on-trend and buy things at a super affordable price.
So there it is! Sticking to some of these ideas will really help save some money in the long run, proving a little does go a long way.

语篇解读：本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了一些帮助学生省钱的方法。
1．What can you do to save money when eating out with classmates
A．Order own-brand products.
B．Use online coupons.
C．Search for the set menu.
D．Choose student-only restaurants.
解析：细节理解题。根据FOOD部分第二段中的“It's really worth ...with a big group.”可知，和同学们外出就餐时可以使用网上的优惠券。
2．Where can you get free pens
A．In the supermarket. B．In Freshers' Fair.
C．In online stores. D．In charity shops.
解析：细节理解题。根据STUDENT-ONLY OFFERS部分第一段中的“Freshers' Fair：Say hello to free pens”可知，学生们可以通过新生会得到免费的钢笔。
√
3．What is probably the major concern of the targeted readers
A．Taste. B．Security.
C．Fashion. D．Price.
解析：推理判断题。文章第一段尤其是“So what can you do to save those ...in the long run？”揭示了文章的主题，下文的三个方面的做法都是围绕如何省钱展开的。因此本文目标读者最关心的是“价格”。

B
For most people, money still means physical cash printed by a sole (唯一的) public authority.Yet it may be short-lived, as cash gives way to the digitalization of finance and new means of payment may take over.The big change will have huge impacts on states, people and companies.
Does it do more good than harm Eswar Prasad, a senior professor of International Trade Policy at Cornell University, says in his book The Future of Money, it depends on central banks — whether they can embrace change without losing control.He insists the end of cash — likely within a decade or two — is revolutionary.
As for the trend that cash is declining, Mr Prasad explains that it is due to the fact that many people bank from laptops and make payments on their phones.Bitcoin and other digital money it has inspired bring about a more fundamental shift, which makes payments possible without the need for a trusted, central authority.However, banks remain dominant.Fearing this could make them out of a job, many central banks are beginning to catch up with the pace by developing their own digital currencies — CBDCs, which will upgrade the financial system.
Mr Prasad says they are more efficient than cash for settling transactions (交易结算)．They could also provide support for digital payment systems managed by private firms.They could offer “unbanked” communities access to digital payments and other financial products.And they may make it easier to track illegal transactions.
However, Mr Prasad fears CBDCs may be vulnerable (脆弱的) to hacking and bugs; they could kill private innovation and cause the instability they are meant to prohibit.The privacy of transactions will be lost.
He also manages to make the financial system understandable and interesting.His patient description of how it works includes numbers of well-researched examples and personal anecdotes.
语篇解读：本文是一篇书评。文章主要介绍了Eswar Prasad的著作——The Future of Money。书中讲述了随着时代的发展，现金交易让位于金融数字化。金融数字化虽带来了一些便利，但也带来了一些不利因素。

A．The digital money.
B．The digitalization of finance.
C．The financial system.
D．The new means of payment.
√
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“as cash gives way to ...may take over”可知，随着现金让位于金融数字化，新的支付方式可能会取代现金；根据第三段中的“it is due to the fact that many people bank from laptops and make payments on their phones”可知，导致现金交易减少的原因是人们用手机交易；根据第三段中的“Bitcoin and other digital money it has inspired bring about a more fundamental shift”可知，比特币和它激发的许多其他数字货币带来了一个更根本的转变。故C项不是现金减少的原因。
5．What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 4 refer to
A．Central banks. B．Bills.
C．Companies. D．CBDCs.
解析：代词指代题。根据第三段中的“many central banks are beginning to catch up with the pace by developing their own digital currencies — CBDCs”可知，许多央行开始通过开发自己的数字货币来赶上这一步伐，画线词所在句表示在交易结算方面，央行的数字货币比现金更有效率，故选项D正确，画线词指的是CBDCs。
√
6．What's the benefit of digital currencies developed by central banks according to the text
A．They could keep private firms from innovating.
B．People without bank accounts can buy and pay online.
C．People can bank from laptops and make payments online.

√
解析：细节理解题。根据第四段中的“They could offer ‘unbanked’ communities access to digital payments and other financial products.”可知，央行开发的数字货币可以为没有银行账户的人们提供使用数字支付和其他金融产品的渠道。
7．What type of writing is the text
A．A news report. B．A science report.
C．A book review. D．A biography.
解析：推理判断题。本文以现金让位于金融数字化的支付方式开头，引出了康奈尔大学国际贸易政策高级教授Eswar Prasad的著作The Future of Money，在书中Prasad教授分析了数字货币支付方式的利与弊。由此可推知，这是一篇书评。
