【解析】如果你运用智慧使用金钱,那么金钱将让你快乐。一项新研究表明,比起花钱购买物质,花钱体验生活给人们带来更大的快乐感。购买物质的东西,由于有比较,可能会后悔,如果是体验生活的话就不会有这种想法,如果体验不错,会觉得价格很实惠。
【1】句意:首先,买一辆新车让你快乐。动名词或动名词短语作主语,故答案为buying。
【2】句意:然而,当汽车变旧的时候,你会“失去”这种快乐的感觉。when引导的时间状语从句,有时也会遵循“主将从现”的原则,因为主句you’ll “lose” this happy feeling是一般将来时态,故从句要用一般现在时态,主语the car是第三人称单数形式,动词要用三单形式,故答案为gets。
【3】句意:一项新研究表明,比起花钱购买物质,花钱体验生活给人们带来更大的快乐感。根据句子结构判断,句子为现在完成时态,此处缺少过去分词,答案为found。
【4】句意:对于物质的东西,你有可能不会忽略任何微小的东西。leave out遗漏,忽略。根据句意可知,答案为out。
【5】句意:相反,如果是体验生活的话,比如旅游,你就不会那样想了。like为介词,后跟动词-ing形式,故答案为going。
【6】句意:即使价格很高,你也会很乐意付钱的。名词的前面要用形容词性物主代词,故答案为its。
【7】句意:旅行越多,你就会越快乐。此处是两个比较级的句子放在一起,表示“越……,越……”,故答案为happier。
【8】句意:这也会让你发疯。此处缺少主语,用it代指“你会后悔买了之前那个”这件事情。故答案为it。
【9】句意:不过,如果你在餐厅大吃了一顿,之后得知了另一家更棒的餐厅,你不会感到遗憾。however与but 两者都做“但是,然而”讲,而且都引出并列句。从语义上看,but所表示的是非常明显的对比,转折的意味比however要强。从语序上看,but总是位于所引出的分句之首,而however却可位于句首、句中和句末,同时从标点符号上看,but之后一般不得使用逗号,而however则必须用逗号与句子其它部分分开。故答案为however。
【10】句意:例如,你买了一个新玩具,发现你的朋友有一个更好的,它可能会让你觉得不舒服。结合语境,买了一个新玩具,发现朋友有一个更好的,可能会产生妒忌的心理,会感觉不舒服,故答案为uncomfortable。
