Ms. McIntyre, 38, worked as a publisher. She suffered brain cancer and her health got worse despite some medical treatment. But she realized that in a way, she was luckier than some other people. She had insurance to help pay for her medical care. But Ms. McIntyre and her husband, Mr. Gregory, knew that many people with cancer face tough decisions because of the costs of medical care and wind up owing far more than they can pay.
Though her health was failing, Ms. McIntyre decided to help pay off the medical debts of as many people as she possibly could. The couple began donating money to a group called RIP Medical Debt, which is committed to working to pay off the unpaid medical debts of others. The group can pay off medical bills for about 100 times less money than they cost. In other words, for every 100 donated, the group can pay off 10,000 in unpaid medical bills.
Unfortunately, Ms. McIntyre passed away before long. Mr. Gregory posted a message for Ms. McIntyre on her social media accounts. “If you’re reading this, I have passed away,” the post began. Then the post explained, “To celebrate my life, I’ve arranged to buy up others’ medical debts and then destroy the debts.”
The couple had set up a page on a website to raise money for this purpose. They had hoped to raise about $20,000. Nevertheless, Ms. McIntyre’s last post attracted a lot of attention. The donations on her web page quickly passed the total goal. In less than a week, the site had raised 10 times more than expected and the donations are still coming in. By November 22, 2023, Ms. McIntyre’s web page had raised over $627,000, or enough money to pay off about $60 million in medical debts.
Mr. Gregory planned a special event in December to celebrate Ms. McIntyre’s life and to announce how many millions of dollars of medical debts her efforts had paid for.
4.Why did Ms. McIntyre feel luckier than some other people?
A.The doctors eventually cured her. B.Her disease didn’t become worse.
C.She had security about medical care. D.She had a decent job before being ill.
5.How did Ms. McIntyre and her husband help others?
A.By paying for their daily debts. B.By giving away money to them.
C.By purchasing medical insurance for them. D.By ridding them of debts from treatments.
6.What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A.The couple’s anticipation. B.The public involvement.
C.The operation of a website. D.The increase of medical debts.
7.Which of the following words can best describe Ms. McIntyre?
A.Influential and understanding. B.Humorous and elegant.
C.Cautious and promising. D.Enthusiastic and adaptable.
C
The Internet offers us an opportunity to know more people (without actually needing to “know them”), with very little effort. But are online friendships the same as in-real-life (IRL) friendships?
How people see online friendships and IRL friendships depends on their age. While digital immigrants (such as I) support scientist John Suler’s belief that people “separate their online lives from their offline lives”, the digital natives growing with Facebook and Instagram find differences between online and offline friendships more unclear.
The Pew Research Center (PRC) finds that 57% of American teens make new friends online. But, it also finds that most “digital friendships” stay in the digital space with only 20% of teens having met an online friend in person. It seems that real-time friendships are considered more valuable than digital friendships even among the digital natives. Best friends meet most often at schools and homes, although online meetings come a close third. The reason why online friendships are placed below IRL friendships is the absence of physical intimacy (亲密).
So, is the Internet bad for relationships? Obviously not. But for the net, I could have never kept in touch with or met my high school friend after a quarter of a century. But even if there is no physical separation, the digital native seems to find online interactions with real-life friends beneficial. 83% of teen social media users believe that social media makes them feel more connected to their friends’ lives. 78% of online gaming teens (mostly boys) feel more connected to existing friends with whom they play games.
However, online interactions can have an adverse effect on existing relationships. 68% of teen social media users report having experienced unpleasant feelings toward their friends on social media and 26% of all teens have had an argument with a friend over something that happened online or over text messages.
The Internet is undoubtedly an invaluable link between people separated by distance. But this link must be based on intimacy and familiarity and a balance of online and offline interactions will pave the way for better relationships in the world.
8.Which of the following may digital natives agree with?
A.Online friendships are long-lasting. B.Online friendships just remain digital.
C.Online friendships clearly differ from IRL ones. D.Online friendships are less valuable than IRL ones.
9.What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us?
A.Why many teens choose online friendships.
B.How real-life friends make online interactions.
C.The influence of online interactions on teens’ lives.
D.The benefits of online interactions to IRL friendships.
10.What does the underlined word “adverse” in paragraph 5 mean?
A.Lasting. B.Harmful. C.Decisive. D.Noticeable.
11.What opinion does the author express in the last paragraph?
A.The Internet is good for people’s relationships.
B.Good relationships don’t exist without intimacy.
C.It is good to balance online and offline communication.
D.Honesty matters to both online and offline communication.

In some parts of the world people are likely to plan for the future, while in others people are more likely to live in the moment. In some societies people prefer more personal space; in others they are comfortable being in close quarters in public.
There are a number of theories about where cultural differences between societies come from. In a growing number of cases, researchers have found that human culture an be shaped by key features of the environments in which people live.
Ecology includes basic physical and social characteristics of the environment—such factors as how rich a place is in resources, how common infectious (传染性的) diseases are, how heavily populated a place is, and how much threat there is to human safety. Variables like temperature and the availability of water can be key ecological features.
For over 200 societies, our lab at Arizona State University gathered comprehensive data on nine key features of ecology— such as rainfall, temperature, infectious disease and natural resources —and dozens of aspects of human cultural variation— including values, strength of social norms (社会规范), personality, motivation and institutional characteristics. With this information, we created the EcoCultural Dataset.
Using this dataset, we were able to generate a range of estimates for just how much of human cultural variation can explained by ecology.
We ran a series of statistical models looking at the relationship between our ecological variables and each of the 66 cultural outcomes we tracked. For each of the cultural outcomes, we calculated the average amount of the cultural diversity across societies that was explained by this combination of nine different ecological factors. We found that nearly 20% of cultural variation was explained by the combination of these ecological features.
Importantly, our statistical estimates take into account common issues in cross-cultural research. There will likely be unmeasured similarities between societies with shared historical roots and traditions.
Ecology isn’t the only reason people around the world think and behave differently. But our work suggests that, at least in part, our environments shape our cultures.
12.Which best explains why people are comfortable being in close quarters in public?
A.They are friendly to each other. B.They like staying in public places.
C.They enjoy spending time with others. D.They live in a place with cold temperatures.
13.What do we know about the EcoCultural Dataset?
A.It’s a combination of humans and nature. B.It’s a combination of ecology and culture
C.It’s a comparison between theory and practice. D.It’s a comparison between ecology and culture.
14.What did the author's lab want to find out?
A.Where cultural differences come from. B.Whether ecological features affect culture.
C.How strong the ecology-culture connection is. D.Why cultural differences between societies exist.
15.What is the conclusion of the author’s study?
A.Shared traditions lead to cultural similarities.
B.There are cultural differences between societies.
C.Cultures are shaped by the environments people live in.
D.Cultural differences partly come from ecological factors.
七选五
Imagine you buy a new shirt and do not intend to buy a new jacket. You were perfectly happy with it until you wore it with the new shirt. However, you imagine that the new shirt makes the old jacket look worn. Then you can’t help buy a new jacket or even more to better fit the shirt. 16 The simplest description of it is the scenario of buying something new and replacing our old possessions with items to match the new one, even if that means an empty bank account. 17
Become aware it is happening. Observe when you are being drawn into consumption not because you are in actual need of an item, but only because something new has been introduced.
18 A store may be having a great sale on a new outfit—but if the new outfit forces you to buy a new pair of shoes or handbag to match, it just became a more expensive purchase than originally assumed.
Avoid unnecessary new purchases. Realize the Diderot Effect is a significant force and overcoming it is very difficult. You may avoid replacing those end tables at first, but eventually, at some point down the road, you are going to break down and buy new ones that better match the new couch. 19 But the best way to overcome the Diderot Effect is to never allow it to overpower you in the first place.
Remind yourself that possessions do not define you. 20 Your possessions do not define you or your success—no matter what marketers will try to tell you.
A.Analyze and predict the full cost of future purchases.
B.Buy things for their usefulness rather than their status.
C.We actually can employ this mind trick in the following ways.
D.The true abundance of life is not found in the things that you own.
E.Then how can we resist this pattern of unnecessary consumerism?
F.The phenomenon can be owed to the so-called “Diderot Effect”.
G.There are times when we have a proper need to buy new things, admittedly.

Ms. McIntyre, 38, worked as a publisher. She suffered brain cancer and her health got worse despite some medical treatment. But she realized that in a way, she was luckier than some other people. She had insurance to help pay for her medical care. But Ms. McIntyre and her husband, Mr. Gregory, knew that many people with cancer face tough decisions because of the costs of medical care and wind up owing far more than they can pay.
Though her health was failing, Ms. McIntyre decided to help pay off the medical debts of as many people as she possibly could. The couple began donating money to a group called RIP Medical Debt, which is committed to working to pay off the unpaid medical debts of others. The group can pay off medical bills for about 100 times less money than they cost. In other words, for every 100 donated, the group can pay off 10,000 in unpaid medical bills.
Unfortunately, Ms. McIntyre passed away before long. Mr. Gregory posted a message for Ms. McIntyre on her social media accounts. “If you’re reading this, I have passed away,” the post began. Then the post explained, “To celebrate my life, I’ve arranged to buy up others’ medical debts and then destroy the debts.”
The couple had set up a page on a website to raise money for this purpose. They had hoped to raise about $20,000. Nevertheless, Ms. McIntyre’s last post attracted a lot of attention. The donations on her web page quickly passed the total goal. In less than a week, the site had raised 10 times more than expected and the donations are still coming in. By November 22, 2023, Ms. McIntyre’s web page had raised over $627,000, or enough money to pay off about $60 million in medical debts.
Mr. Gregory planned a special event in December to celebrate Ms. McIntyre’s life and to announce how many millions of dollars of medical debts her efforts had paid for.
4.Why did Ms. McIntyre feel luckier than some other people?
A.The doctors eventually cured her. B.Her disease didn’t become worse.
C.She had security about medical care. D.She had a decent job before being ill.
5.How did Ms. McIntyre and her husband help others?
A.By paying for their daily debts. B.By giving away money to them.
C.By purchasing medical insurance for them. D.By ridding them of debts from treatments.
6.What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A.The couple’s anticipation. B.The public involvement.
C.The operation of a website. D.The increase of medical debts.
7.Which of the following words can best describe Ms. McIntyre?
A.Influential and understanding. B.Humorous and elegant.
C.Cautious and promising. D.Enthusiastic and adaptable.
【答案】4.C 5.D 6.B 7.A
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了身患绝症的出版商McIntyre女士与其丈夫捐赠善款,通过RIP医疗债务组织帮助他人清偿巨额医疗账单的故事。
4.细节理解题。根据第一段“But she realized that in a way, she was luckier than some other people. She had insurance to help pay for her medical care. (但她意识到,在某种程度上,她比其他人幸运。她有保险来帮助支付医疗费用)”可知,麦金太尔女士觉得自己比其他人幸运,这是因为她有医疗保险帮助支付医疗费用,她有医疗保障。故选C。
5.细节理解题。根据第二段“Though her health was failing, Ms. McIntyre decided to help pay off the medical debts of as many people as she possibly could. The couple began donating money to a group called RIP Medical Debt, which is committed to working to pay off the unpaid medical debts of others. (尽管她的健康状况正在恶化,麦金太尔女士还是决定尽可能多地帮助人们偿还医疗债务。这对夫妇开始向一个名为RIP医疗债务的组织捐款,该组织致力于偿还他人未付的医疗债务)”可知,麦金太尔女士和她的丈夫通过偿还他人未付的医疗债务帮助别人。故选D。
6.主旨大意题。根据第四段“The couple had set up a page on a website to raise money for this purpose. They had hoped to raise about $20,000. Nevertheless, Ms. McIntyre’s last post attracted a lot of attention. The donations on her web page quickly passed the total goal. In less than a week, the site had raised 10 times more than expected and the donations are still coming in. By November 22, 2023, Ms. McIntyre’s web page had raised over $627,000, or enough money to pay off about $60 million in medical debts. (这对夫妇在一个网站上设立了一个页面,为此目的筹集资金。他们原本希望筹集约2万美元。尽管如此,麦金太尔女士的最后一篇帖子还是引起了很多关注。她网页上的捐款很快就超过了总目标。在不到一周的时间里,该网站筹集的资金是预期的10倍,捐款仍在继续。截至2023年11月22日,麦金太尔女士的网页已筹集了62.7万美元,足以偿还约6000万美元的医疗债务)”可知,本段主要介绍了公众参与筹集资金,即公众参与。故选B。
7.推理判断题。根据第一段“But Ms. McIntyre and her husband, Mr. Gregory, knew that many people with cancer face tough decisions because of the costs of medical care and wind up owing far more than they can pay. (但麦金太尔女士和她的丈夫格雷戈里先生知道,许多癌症患者由于医疗费用而面临艰难的决定,最终欠款远远超过他们的承受能力)”可知,麦金太尔女士能够理解他人的处境,根据第四段“Nevertheless, Ms. McIntyre’s last post attracted a lot of attention. The donations on her web page quickly passed the total goal. In less than a week, the site had raised 10 times more than expected and the donations are still coming in. By November 22, 2023, Ms. McIntyre’s web page had raised over $627,000, or enough money to pay off about $60 million in medical debts.

The Internet offers us an opportunity to know more people (without actually needing to “know them”), with very little effort. But are online friendships the same as in-real-life (IRL) friendships?
How people see online friendships and IRL friendships depends on their age. While digital immigrants (such as I) support scientist John Suler’s belief that people “separate their online lives from their offline lives”, the digital natives growing with Facebook and Instagram find differences between online and offline friendships more unclear.
The Pew Research Center (PRC) finds that 57% of American teens make new friends online. But, it also finds that most “digital friendships” stay in the digital space with only 20% of teens having met an online friend in person. It seems that real-time friendships are considered more valuable than digital friendships even among the digital natives. Best friends meet most often at schools and homes, although online meetings come a close third. The reason why online friendships are placed below IRL friendships is the absence of physical intimacy (亲密).
So, is the Internet bad for relationships? Obviously not. But for the net, I could have never kept in touch with or met my high school friend after a quarter of a century. But even if there is no physical separation, the digital native seems to find online interactions with real-life friends beneficial. 83% of teen social media users believe that social media makes them feel more connected to their friends’ lives. 78% of online gaming teens (mostly boys) feel more connected to existing friends with whom they play games.
However, online interactions can have an adverse effect on existing relationships. 68% of teen social media users report having experienced unpleasant feelings toward their friends on social media and 26% of all teens have had an argument with a friend over something that happened online or over text messages.
The Internet is undoubtedly an invaluable link between people separated by distance. But this link must be based on intimacy and familiarity and a balance of online and offline interactions will pave the way for better relationships in the world.
8.Which of the following may digital natives agree with?
A.Online friendships are long-lasting. B.Online friendships just remain digital.
C.Online friendships clearly differ from IRL ones. D.Online friendships are less valuable than IRL ones.
9.What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us?
A.Why many teens choose online friendships.
B.How real-life friends make online interactions.
C.The influence of online interactions on teens’ lives.
D.The benefits of online interactions to IRL friendships.
10.What does the underlined word “adverse” in paragraph 5 mean?
A.Lasting. B.Harmful. C.Decisive. D.Noticeable.
11.What opinion does the author express in the last paragraph?
A.The Internet is good for people’s relationships.
B.Good relationships don’t exist without intimacy.
C.It is good to balance online and offline communication.
D.Honesty matters to both online and offline communication.
【答案】8.D 9.D 10.B 11.C
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章讨论了在线友谊与现实生活中的友谊之间的区别和联系,以及互联网对人际关系的影响。
8.细节理解题。根据第三段“It seems that real-time friendships are considered more valuable than digital friendships even among the digital natives.(只有20%的青少年见过网友。即使在数字原住民中,实时友谊似乎也被认为比数字友谊更有价值。)”可知,数字原住民也认为实时友谊(IRL友谊)比数字友谊更有价值。故选D。
9.主旨大意题。根据文章第四段“So, is the Internet bad for relationships? Obviously not. But for the net, I could have never kept in touch with or met my high school friend after a quarter of a century. But even if there is no physical separation, the digital native seems to find online interactions with real-life friends beneficial. 83% of teen social media users believe that social media makes them feel more connected to their friends’ lives. 78% of online gaming teens (mostly boys) feel more connected to existing friends with whom they play games.(那么,网络对人际关系有害吗?显然不是。如果没有网络,我可能永远不会和我的高中朋友保持联系,或者在四分之一个世纪后见到他们。但是,即使没有物理隔离,数字原生代似乎也会发现与现实生活中的朋友进行在线互动是有益的。83%的青少年社交媒体用户认为,社交媒体让他们感觉与朋友的生活联系得更紧密。78%的在线游戏青少年(主要是男孩)觉得与他们一起玩游戏的现有朋友更有联系。)”可知,本段主要讲述了网络对人际关系的积极影响。故选D。
10.词义猜测题。根据划线单词下文“68% of teen social media users report having experienced unpleasant feelings toward their friends on social media and 26% of all teens have had an argument with a friend over something that happened online or over text messages.(68%的青少年社交媒体用户报告说,他们在社交媒体上对朋友产生了不愉快的感觉,26%的青少年曾因为网上或短信上发生的事情与朋友发生过争吵。)”可推测,在线互动可能会对现有的关系产生不利影响。划线词adverse的意思为“不利的”。选项A“Lasting(持久的)”;选项B“Harmful (有害的)”;选项C“Decisive (果断的)”;选项D“Noticeable (显而易见的)”。故选B。
11.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The Internet is undoubtedly an invaluable link between people separated by distance. But this link must be based on intimacy and familiarity and a balance of online and offline interactions will pave the way for better relationships in the world.(毫无疑问,互联网是连接相隔遥远的人们的宝贵纽带。但这种联系必须建立在亲密和熟悉的基础上,线上和线下互动的平衡将为世界上更好的关系铺平道路。)”可知,作者在最后首先强调了互联网作为人们之间无价联系的重要性,并说明这种联系必须建立在亲密和熟悉的基础上。最后,作者提出了一个解决方案,即平衡线上和线下的交流,以促进世界上更好的关系。所以作者在最后一段既强调了互联网在人际关系中的积极作用,又提出了实现更好关系的具体方法。故选C。

In some parts of the world people are likely to plan for the future, while in others people are more likely to live in the moment. In some societies people prefer more personal space; in others they are comfortable being in close quarters in public.
There are a number of theories about where cultural differences between societies come from. In a growing number of cases, researchers have found that human culture an be shaped by key features of the environments in which people live.
Ecology includes basic physical and social characteristics of the environment—such factors as how rich a place is in resources, how common infectious (传染性的) diseases are, how heavily populated a place is, and how much threat there is to human safety. Variables like temperature and the availability of water can be key ecological features.
For over 200 societies, our lab at Arizona State University gathered comprehensive data on nine key features of ecology— such as rainfall, temperature, infectious disease and natural resources —and dozens of aspects of human cultural variation— including values, strength of social norms (社会规范), personality, motivation and institutional characteristics. With this information, we created the EcoCultural Dataset.
Using this dataset, we were able to generate a range of estimates for just how much of human cultural variation can explained by ecology.
We ran a series of statistical models looking at the relationship between our ecological variables and each of the 66 cultural outcomes we tracked. For each of the cultural outcomes, we calculated the average amount of the cultural diversity across societies that was explained by this combination of nine different ecological factors. We found that nearly 20% of cultural variation was explained by the combination of these ecological features.
Importantly, our statistical estimates take into account common issues in cross-cultural research. There will likely be unmeasured similarities between societies with shared historical roots and traditions.
Ecology isn’t the only reason people around the world think and behave differently. But our work suggests that, at least in part, our environments shape our cultures.
12.Which best explains why people are comfortable being in close quarters in public?
A.They are friendly to each other. B.They like staying in public places.
C.They enjoy spending time with others. D.They live in a place with cold temperatures.
13.What do we know about the EcoCultural Dataset?
A.It’s a combination of humans and nature. B.It’s a combination of ecology and culture
C.It’s a comparison between theory and practice. D.It’s a comparison between ecology and culture.
14.What did the author's lab want to find out?
A.Where cultural differences come from. B.Whether ecological features affect culture.
C.How strong the ecology-culture connection is. D.Why cultural differences between societies exist.
15.What is the conclusion of the author’s study?
A.Shared traditions lead to cultural similarities.
B.There are cultural differences between societies.
C.Cultures are shaped by the environments people live in.
D.Cultural differences partly come from ecological factors.
【答案】12.D 13.B 14.C 15.D
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了生态文化数据集表明了环境塑造了我们的文化。
12.细节理解题。根据第三段“Variables like temperature and the availability of water can be key ecological features.(温度和水的可用性等变量可能是关键的生态特征)”以及最后一段“But our work suggests that, at least in part, our environments shape our cultures.(但我们的研究表明,至少在某种程度上,我们的环境塑造了我们的文化)”可知,生活在一个温度很低的地方最能解释为什么人们在公共场合会觉得近距离接触很舒服。故选D。
13.细节理解题。根据第四段“For over 200 societies, our lab at Arizona State University gathered comprehensive data on nine key features of ecology— such as rainfall, temperature, infectious disease and natural resources —and dozens of aspects of human cultural variation— including values, strength of social norms (社会规范), personality, motivation and institutional characteristics. With this information, we created the EcoCultural Dataset.(我们在亚利桑那州立大学的实验室收集了200多个社会的综合数据,涉及生态的九个关键特征——如降雨、温度、传染病和自然资源——以及人类文化差异的几十个方面——包括价值观、社会规范的强度、个性、动机和制度特征。有了这些信息,我们创建了生态文化数据集)”可知,生态文化数据集是生态和文化的结合。故选B。
14.细节理解题。根据第五段“Using this dataset, we were able to generate a range of estimates for just how much of human cultural variation can explained by ecology.(利用这个数据集,我们能够对人类文化差异有多少可以用生态学来解释产生一系列的估计)”可知,作者的实验室想知道生态与文化的联系有多强。故选C。
15.细节理解题。根据最后一段“Ecology isn’t the only reason people around the world think and behave differently. But our work suggests that, at least in part, our environments shape our cultures.(生态并不是世界各地人们思维和行为不同的唯一原因。但我们的研究表明,至少在某种程度上,我们的环境塑造了我们的文化)”可知,作者的研究结论是文化差异部分来自生态因素。故选D。
七选五
Imagine you buy a new shirt and do not intend to buy a new jacket. You were perfectly happy with it until you wore it with the new shirt. However, you imagine that the new shirt makes the old jacket look worn. Then you can’t help buy a new jacket or even more to better fit the shirt. 16 The simplest description of it is the scenario of buying something new and replacing our old possessions with items to match the new one, even if that means an empty bank account. 17
Become aware it is happening. Observe when you are being drawn into consumption not because you are in actual need of an item, but only because something new has been introduced.
18 A store may be having a great sale on a new outfit—but if the new outfit forces you to buy a new pair of shoes or handbag to match, it just became a more expensive purchase than originally assumed.
Avoid unnecessary new purchases. Realize the Diderot Effect is a significant force and overcoming it is very difficult. You may avoid replacing those end tables at first, but eventually, at some point down the road, you are going to break down and buy new ones that better match the new couch. 19 But the best way to overcome the Diderot Effect is to never allow it to overpower you in the first place.
Remind yourself that possessions do not define you. 20 Your possessions do not define you or your success—no matter what marketers will try to tell you.
A.Analyze and predict the full cost of future purchases.
B.Buy things for their usefulness rather than their status.
C.We actually can employ this mind trick in the following ways.
D.The true abundance of life is not found in the things that you own.
E.Then how can we resist this pattern of unnecessary consumerism?
F.The phenomenon can be owed to the so-called “Diderot Effect”.
G.There are times when we have a proper need to buy new things, admittedly.
【答案】16.F 17.E 18.A 19.G 20.D
【导语】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了如何抵制不必要的消费主义模式(狄德罗效应)。
16.根据上文“Imagine you buy a new shirt and do not intend to buy a new jacket. You were perfectly happy with it until you wore it with the new shirt. However, you imagine that the new shirt makes the old jacket look worn. Then you can’t help buy a new jacket or even more to better fit the shirt.”(假设你买了一件新衬衫,但不打算买一件新夹克。你本来对它很满意,直到你把它和新衬衫一起穿。然而,你想象新衬衫使旧夹克看起来很破旧。然后你会忍不住买一件新夹克,甚至更多的衣服来更好地搭配这件衬衫。)可知,选项总结上文的现象叫什么。故F选项“这种现象可以归因于所谓的“狄德罗效应”。”切题。故选F项。
17.根据上文“The simplest description of it is the scenario of buying something new and replacing our old possessions with items to match the new one, even if that means an empty bank account.”(最简单的描述就是买新东西,用新东西替换旧东西,即使这意味着银行账户空了。)可知,选项承接上文,总起下文的各个标题。故E选项“那么我们如何抵制这种不必要的消费主义模式呢?”切题。故选E项。
18.根据下文“A store may be having a great sale on a new outfit—but if the new outfit forces you to buy a new pair of shoes or handbag to match, it just became a more expensive purchase than originally assumed.”(一家商店的一套新衣服可能正在大减价,但如果这套新衣服迫使你去买一双新鞋或一个新手袋来搭配,那么它的购买成本就会比原先想象的要高。)可知,本段主要在说要考虑采购的全部成本。故A选项“分析和预测未来采购的全部成本。”为本段的标题。故选A项。
19.根据上文“You may avoid replacing those end tables at first, but eventually, at some point down the road, you are going to break down and buy new ones that better match the new couch.”(一开始你可能会避免更换那些茶几,但最终,在这条路上的某个时刻,你会让步,买一个更适合新沙发的新桌子。)根据下文“But the best way to overcome the Diderot Effect is to never allow it to overpower you in the first place.”(但克服狄德罗效应的最好方法是,从一开始就不要让它压倒你。)可知,选项承接上文说明需要买新东西的必然性且与下文为转折关系。故G项“不可否认,有时候我们确实需要买新东西。”切题。故选G项。
20.根据上文“Remind yourself that possessions do not define you.”(提醒自己,财产并不能定义你。)可知,选项承接上文进一步说明且与下文为并列关系。上下文话题一致。故D选项“生活的真正丰富不在于你拥有的东西。”切题。故选D项。
