【解析】
这篇短文讲述的是在我们的生活中,有很多东西我们并不是真的需要,所以作者建议我们在买东西之前,一定要考虑清楚,能修理的就修理,能用别的东西代替的就用别的东西代替。
【1】句意:假设你的袜子有了洞。pictures图片;holes洞;dust灰尘;wounds伤口。根据下句话Mend (修补)them and wear them longer“修补他们”可知,这里说的是“袜子上有了洞”,故应选B。
【2】句意:直到旧的电话不能工作了,你才需要有一个新的电话。if 如果,引导条件状语从句;after在…之后;until直到…时候;although虽然,尽管。这句话中使用的是not…until…句型,表示“直到…时候,才…”,故应选C。
【3】句意:在买新东西之前要三思。buying买;selling卖;sending发送;repairing修理。根据文意可知,这里说的是“在买东西之前要仔细考虑”,故应选A。
【4】句意:当你想要的东西没有在手边的时候,找其他你有的东西来代替。in order整齐,秩序井然;on hand 在手边;in danger在危险中;on show在展览。根据句中…look for something else that you have to ___5__ the place of.,“找其他的东西代替”可知,这里表示我们手头上没有想要的东西,故应选B。
【5】句意:当你想要的东西没有在手边的时候,找其他你有的东西来代替。bring带来;take拿走;carry携带;make制作。这里考查的是固定短语take the place of…代替…,符合句意,故应选B。
【6】句意:然而,在你的家里没有了黄油。Also也,而且;Yet然而;可是;还;However然而;So因此。根据上文Suppose you are preparing your lunch for tomorrow and want a butter sandwich“你需要黄油”;这句话there is not any butter“没有黄油”可知,这两句话之间是转折的关系,故应选C。
【7】句意:只要稍加思考,你就能把事情做好,而不必买新东西。everything每件事;anything任何事;nothing没有什么事;something某事。根据句中instead of buying something new可知,这里指把某事做好,故应选D。
【8】句意:考虑那些你必须要买的东西。Think about考虑;Give up放弃;Put off推迟;Give away泄露,捐赠。根据后面的这两个问题Do you __9__ need them? How long will you play with the new toy? “你真的需要他们吗?新玩具你会玩多长时间?”可知,这里作者然我们在买新东西之前,仔细考虑清楚,故应选A。
【9】句意:你真的需要他们吗?safely安全地;excitedly兴奋地;freely自由地;really真的。根据下文Delete( 删除) the things that you don't really need可知,这里用really表示强调,故应选D。
【10】句意:删除你真的不需要的东西,这样你就能节省很多钱。waste 浪费;save节省;include 包括;achieve获得。根据句意可知,删除了不需要的东西,就可以节省钱,故应选B。
