Question

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解，選擇正確答案。
People can be addicted to(沉溺于) different things — e.g. alcohol, drug, certain foods, or even television. People who have such an addiction are compulsive(強(qiáng)迫的):They have a very powerful psychological（心理上的）need that they feel they must satisfy. According to psychologists, many people are compulsive spenders. They feel that they must spend money. This compulsion, like most others, is impossible to explain reasonably. For compulsive spenders who buy on credit(以賒欠方式), charge accounts are even more exciting than money. In other words, compulsive spenders feel that with credit, they can do anything. Their pleasure in spending large amounts is actually greater than the pleasure that they get from the things they buy.
There is even a special psychology of bargain hunting. To save money, of course, most people look for sales, low prices, and discounts. Compulsive bargain hunters, however, often buy things that they don't need just because they are cheap. They want to believe that they are helping their budgets(預(yù)算), but they are really playing an exciting game. When they can buy something for less than other people, they feel that they are winning. Most people, experts claim, have two reasons for their behavior: a good reason for the things that they do and the real reason.
It is not only scientists, of course, who understand the psychology of spending habits, but also business people. Stores, companies, and advertisers use psychology to increase business. They consider people's needs for love, power, or influence, their basic values, their beliefs and opinions, and so on in their advertising and sales methods. Psychologists often use a method called “behavior therapy(療法)” to help individuals solve their personality problems. In the same way, they can help people who feel that they have problems with money.

【解析】本文屬于科普說明文閱讀，主要介紹了人們花錢的心理學(xué)原理。從不同的角度闡釋了人們多花錢或者更愿意購買打折產(chǎn)品的原因。

（1）C 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段2、3、4句People who have such an addiction are compulsive(強(qiáng)迫的):They have a very powerful psychological（心理上的）need that they feel they must satisfy. According to psychologists, many people are compulsive spenders. They feel that they must spend money.可知a compulsive spender通常是那些認(rèn)為他們必須要花錢購物的人，他們這種花錢的方法正是為了滿足他們的心理需要。故C項(xiàng)正確。

（2）B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段前兩句It is not only scientists, of course, who understand the psychology of spending habits, but also business people. Stores, companies, and advertisers use psychology to increase business.可知不僅僅科學(xué)家理解人們這種花錢的心理學(xué)原理，而且商人也知道。所以很多商店、公司和廣告商都使用這種心理學(xué)來增加他們的銷量。故B正確。

（3）A 主旨大意題。本文屬于科普說明文閱讀，主要介紹了人們花錢的心理學(xué)原理。從不同的角度闡釋了人們多花錢或者更愿意購買打折產(chǎn)品的原因。故A項(xiàng)正確。

（4）B 推理判斷題。無論文章中提到的強(qiáng)迫花錢的人，還是特別喜歡購買減價(jià)商品的人，他們的消費(fèi)思想都是不健康的，都需要進(jìn)行一定的治療和矯正。故B項(xiàng)正確。
