　　Ⅲ.閱讀理解

　　(2024·南通市高三第二次調(diào)研)

　　Consumers everywhere are faced with the same dilemma：given limited resources，what sorts of purchases are most likely to produce lasting happiness and satisfaction？Recent research has confirmed that experiential purchases tend to produce greater hedonic(享樂的) gains than material purchases.

　　The reason why experiences improve with time may be because it is possible to think about experiences in a more abstract manner than possessions.For example，if you think back to a fantastic summer from your youth，you might easily remember an abstract sense of warm sunshine and youthful exuberant(生氣勃勃)，but you’re less likely to remember exactly what you did day-by-day.

　　Material possessions are harder to think about in an abstract sense.The car you bought is still a car；that great new jacket you picked up cheap is still just a jacket.It’s more likely the experience of that summer has taken on a symbolic meaning that can live longer in your memory than a possession.

　　Purchasing may have a negative impact on happiness because consumers often buy “joyless” material possessions，resulting in comfort but not pleasure.In general，people adapt to experiences more slowly than to material purchase.This can be seen in both negative and positive purchases：hedonic adaptation would result in a positive experience causing more happiness but a negative experience causing less happiness than the comparable material purchase with the same initial happiness level.

　　Experience，however，seems to be more resistant to these sorts of unfavourable comparisons.It is because of the unique nature of experience.It’s more difficult to make an unfavourable comparison when there is nothing directly comparable.After all，each of our youthful summers is different.

　　It’s well established that social comparisons can have a huge effect on how we view what might seem like positive events.One striking example is the finding that people prefer to earn 50,000 a year while everyone else earns 25,000, instead of earning 100,000 themselves and having other people earn 200,000.

　　A similar effect is seen for possessions.When there are so many flat-screen HD TVs to choose from，it’s easy to make unfavourable comparisons between our choice and the others available.

　　36．An abstract sense in the passage refers to awareness of something ________.

　　A．you cannot think about

　　B．you can’ t remember well

　　C．you cannot understand

　　D．you cannot see or touch

　　37．If you make an experiential purchase before a material purchase，you may go to ________.

　　A．a(chǎn) theatre before going to a store

　　B．a(chǎn)n exhibition before going to a park

　　C．a(chǎn) mall before going to a grocer’s

　　D．a(chǎn) market before going to a restaurant

　　38．The example of earnings is given to actually indicate ________.

　　A．how ridiculous people are

　　B．how people feel content

　　C．how near-sighted people are

　　D．how people hold prejudice

　　39．It is implied in the passage that，after their material purchases，people might ________.

　　A．enjoy their ownership of what they have bought

　　B．pick every fault in the products they have got

　　C．regret making a wrong decision to buy the itemsD．leave what they’ve purchased untouched at home

　　答案精析

　　題型組合練(七)

　　11．A　[句意為：生活教會我們不要為昨天做的事去后悔，因為它已經(jīng)是過去式，而且不受我們控制了。此處強調(diào)過去發(fā)生的動作對現(xiàn)在造成的影響，故用現(xiàn)在完成時。]
