I.阅读理解
Every festival has its own meaning. Labour Day, for example, celebrates the value of hard work. But somehow it now seems that while celebrating all festivals we just care about one thing—shopping. And that can be a big problem.
“In a way, over consumption (过度消费) is the mother of all our environmental problems，” Kalle Lasn once told CNN. Lasn is the organizer of Buy Nothing Day, a day set up in Canada in 1992 to fight against unhealthy spending habits, and has now become an international event. It's held on the day, which is known as Black Friday—a famous shopping day in the US and Canada.
You can see the irony (奇异可笑之处) here.
Even though the idea of Buy Nothing Day was brought up 27 years ago, we seem to need it now more than ever. It's just as Lasn said, all the different kinds of dilemmas in our lives today—bad air quality, the reduction of forest area, endangered animal species, and plastic bags found in the ocean—seem to be the same cause: over consumption.
The latest example is the Singles' Day shopping craze of Nov. 11, which saw a new sales record. But as Nie Li, a campaigner at Greenpeace, told Reuters, “Record setting over consumption means record setting waste.” And it was reported that last year the Singles' Day packages left more than 160,000 tons of waste, including plastic and cardboard. The Collins dictionary has also just named “single use” its Word of the Year, pointing out the problem that there're too many things we throw away after only using them once.
So, Buy Nothing Day might only be here for one day a year, but it's not just to remind us about a break from shopping on that day, but to change our lifestyle completely, focusing on fun “with people we care about” rather than wasting money on useless things.
1．What's the author's purpose of writing the first paragraph
A．To express people's love for all festivals.
B．To talk about the meaning of the festivals.
C．To appreciate the value of the festivals.
D．To introduce the topic of the passage.
2．Why did Kalle Lasn organize Buy Nothing Day
A．To help people save money.
B．To cut the cost for daily life.
C．To prevent over consumption.
D．To set up a new sales record.
3．What's Nie Li's attitude towards the shopping craze
A．Opposed. B．Supportive.
C．Unknown. D．Neutral.
4．What can be a suitable title for the passage
A．Creating a New Lifestyle
B．Buy Nothing Day
C．Festivals Around the World
D．A Change in People's Life

10．答案与解析：but 考查连词。句意：外出就餐可能会改变这一传统的形式，但是围坐在餐桌旁的家庭成员之间的爱仍然是一样的。根据句意可知，本空前后两个分句为转折关系，故本空应用连词but表转折。

1．答案与解析：D 写作意图题。本段先举例说明每个节日都有它自己的意义，又说现在每个节日似乎都和购物有关，而购物可能会造成大问题，从而引出主题及下文内容。故第一段的作用是引出文章主题。
2．答案与解析：C 推理判断题。根据第二段前两句可知，Lasn认为过度消费是所有环境问题的根源，他设立Buy Nothing Day旨在与不健康的消费习惯作斗争。故Lasn设立此节日的目的是防止过度消费。
3．答案与解析：A 推理判断题。根据第五段中的Record setting over consumption means record setting waste.可知，Nie Li认为创纪录的过度消费意味着创纪录的浪费，即他对购物狂潮(the shopping craze)持反对态度。
4．答案与解析：B 主旨大意题。文章内容围绕Buy Nothing Day展开，故用Buy Nothing Day作题目最合适。
