The word addiction usually makes you think of alcohol or drugs.(71)D
Some people are compulsive(難以自制的)shoppers.Others find it impossible to pull themselves away from their work.Still others spend countless hours watching TV or playing computer games.
(72)BMany people enjoy going to malls or stores more and more every day,but it's more than a common hobby for some of them.They have turned into shopaholics.They are people who simply enjoy shopping and walking around spending money without being able to stop doing it.They are hooked on shopping and usually buy things that they don't need.Even though they don't have enough money,they buy everything they want.
The question is,why do they have this addiction?There isn't a specific answer.Some people go shopping when they are sad,worried,upset or lonely and they want to feel better.They use this activity as a way to forget their problems.Shopaholics say that they feel more important and better after they buy something.(73)C
Shopaholism seems to be a harmless addiction,but it can bring out problems.Some of them can be psychological.If this is the case,people addicted to shopping should go to a support group to help them break this habit.However,the process,like for most addictions,is long,and they suffer a lot. (74)G They just think about satisfying their feelings,so they spend money they don't have.(75)F.
分析 本文屬于說明文的閱讀范疇.主要描述了與煙酒不同的新的嗜好瘋狂購物的癖好,分析了購物狂的現(xiàn)象、成因以及由此帶來的后果.
解答 71.D 72.B 73.C 74.G 75.F
71.D. 根據(jù)前面一句The word addiction usually makes you think of alcohol or drugs中的usually可知,這是對addiction(嗜好,成癮)的傳統(tǒng)看法,和D項中的However in modern-day society we are seeing some new kinds of addictions.構成一種對比關系,呼應開頭的內(nèi)容,故選D.
72.B.分析后面的內(nèi)容Many people enjoy going to malls or stores more and more every day,…They have turned into shopaholics可知,本段開始描述人們新的嗜好就是購物,由B項來銜接上下文正好吻合;故選B.
73.C. 本段Some people go shopping when they are sad,worried,upset or lonely and they want to feel better分析了許多購物狂瘋狂購物的原因.那么C項They also tend to have this addiction when they feel guilty進一步舉例說明另外的原因;故選C.
74.G. 根據(jù)后面so引導的結果狀語從句so they spend money they don't have可知,這是敘述的購物帶來的問題即消耗金錢;故選G.
75.F.緊承前面瘋狂購物會帶來經(jīng)濟問題,所以F.They get deep in debt,and they can even go bankrupt(破產(chǎn))and get sent to prison.進一步敘述帶來的危害;故選F.
