Question

【題目】【2016湖北隨州】閱讀下列短文，從每小題所給的四個選項中，選出一個最佳選項。

Money can make you happy, only if you spend it in a clever way.

Buying a new car makes you happy. However, you will forget this feeling when the car gets old. But if you spend a week traveling, it’s more possible that you’ll remember the great experience, and you’ll remember the feeling for a long time. A new study has found that spending money on experiences makes people happier than on material things.

For material things, it’s possible that you’ll care about every little thing. If you buy a nice pen, and someone else buys one with less money, it’s possible that you may be unhappy because you spend so much money. When it comes to experiences like trips, you won’t think like that. If the experience is generally good, you will be happy with the price.

Material things can be compared more easily. If you buy an MP3 and then see a more suitable one, you may regret buying the first one. However, if you have a nice dinner at one restaurant, and then learn about another better restaurant, you’ll not regret the first meal.

Material things can cause jealousy(嫉妒).For example, if you buy a new toy and find that your friend has a better toy, you’ll feel unhappy. Instead, if you travel to a beautiful place, then no matter where your friends have gone, it won’t make the memory of your trip less happy.

【2】D

【3】B

【解析】

試題分析：本文介紹了花錢經(jīng)歷一些事比花錢買物質(zhì)的東西讓人們更高興。因為對于物質(zhì)的東西來說，如果可能你關注的是每一個小事。物質(zhì)的東西更容易做比較，也會使人們嫉妒。

【1】A詞義猜測題。根據(jù)Buying a new car makes you happy.和 But if you spend a week traveling, it’s more possible that you’ll remember the great experience, 可知此處把旅游的經(jīng)歷與買車這種物質(zhì)的東西進行比較，故material是物質(zhì)的，故選A。

【2】D推理判斷題。根據(jù)If you buy an MP3 and then see a more suitable one, you may regret buying the first one.可知如果你買了某物，然后看見一個更適合的，你可能會后悔買了原來的那一個，故選D。

【3】B推理判斷題。根據(jù)A new study has found that spending money on experiences makes people happier than on material things.可知花錢旅游比買一些物質(zhì)東西更能使人感到高興。故選B。
