点评 七选五题型看似简单,实际上有时完全作对并不容易,需要方法和分析能力及足够的耐力,有必要进行专门练习.首先,快速浏览一遍七个备选答案,先确定哪个选项适合放在文章的什么位置.其次,快速浏览文章,确定文章体裁,抓住文章结构,分析篇章结构,找出各段的主题句或主旨大意.其三,注意各选项中出现的句子衔接手段,寻找句中衔接标志词,七选五备选答案中有两个多余的选项,会对文章中两个空的选择构成干扰,这时要特别细致地比对相似选项.最后,用代入法,检查答案是否合理,将所有选择答案放回空白处,通读全文,检查文章内容是否语义连贯合理、紧扣主题,语篇结构是否通顺连贯、具有一致性、合乎逻辑,写作思路是否清晰明了,格式以及用语是否恰当贴切,从而判断选择的答案是否正确.
1.Buy experiences,not material goods.
In a recently published study,Professor Ryan at San Francisco State University in the US,found that when people don't have much money to spare,they tend to stick to material goods.(34)E But they actually provide both more happiness and more lasting value.
2.(35)C
No matter how much money you spend on something and how special that product is,you will get used to having it over time and lose interest in it.With the same money you spend on one big object,you can buy many little things.Buying small things means you can get frequent small pleasures.
3.Be sure to buy time.
(36)G For example,that big house in the suburbs may seem like a good idea,but a 2014study by researchers from University of Zurich in Switzerland found that people with longer time on the way reported lower life satisfaction,all other things being equal.
4.Try giving it away.
Elizabeth Dunn,professor at the University of British Columbia in Canada,found that in nations as diverse as Canada,South Africa and Uganda,giving away money consistently made people happier.(37)F
A.Be sure to buy what you like. B.Here are some ways to better spend your money. C.Buy lots of little things,rather than one big thing. D.There are a lot of reasons someone might buy something. E.People think experiences only provide temporary happiness. F.This was even true when people giving away were relatively poor. G.Consider how the things you buy will affect how you spend your time. |
But all those plastic bottles use a lot of fossil fuels and pollute the environment.In fact,Americans buy more bottled water than any other nation in the world,adding 29billion water bottles a year to the problem.In order to make all these bottles,manufacturers use 17million barrels of crude oil.That's enough oil to keep a million cars going for twelve months.
Imagine a water bottle filled a quarter of the way up with oil.That's about how much oil was needed to produce the bottle.
So why don't more people drink water straight from the kitchen faucet?Some people drink bottled water because they think it is better for them than water out of the tap,but that's not true.In the United States,local governments make sure water from the faucet is safe.There is also growing concern that chemicals in the bottles themselves may leach(渗) into the water.
People love the convenience of bottled water.But maybe if they realized the problems it causes,they would try drinking from a glass at home or carrying water in a refillable steel container instead of plastic.
Plastic bottle recycling can help-instead of going out with the trash,plastic bottles can be turned into items like carpeting or cozy fleece clothing.
Unfortunately,for every six water bottles we use,only one makes it to the recycling bin.The rest are sent to landfills.Or,even worse,they end up as trash on the land and in rivers,lakes,and the ocean.Plastic bottles take many hundreds of years to disintegrate.
Water is good for you,so keep drinking it.But think about how often you use water bottles,and see if you can make a change.
Betty McLaughlin,who runs an organization called the Container Recycling Institute,says we should try using fewer bottles:"If you take one to school in your lunch,don't throw it away-bring it home and refill it from the tap for the next day.Keep track of how many times you refill a bottle before you recycle it."
And yes,you can make a difference.Remember this:Recycling one plastic bottle can save enough energy to power a 60-watt light bulb for six hours.
