【答案解析】

76. 答案：drinking，taking drugs，shopping，playing computer games，working，

watching TV ( 答出其中三个即可，不根据原文回答者不给分)

解析：这是一道封闭式问题，考查考生对文段的理解能力和对语言的总结概括能力。

文章第一段阐述了当今社会中存在的种种沉迷、上瘾的现象。从文段中我们可以找出重要细节“... alcohol or drugs ... compulsive shoppers ... . impossible to pull ... from their work ... spend countless hours watching TV or playing computer games.”。其中的关键词可以依次对应： drinking，taking drugs，shopping，playing computer games，

working，watching。

77. 答案：The reason why some people /shopaholics have shopping addiction.

The possible reasons for shopaholism/shopping addition.

解析：这是一道段落主旨概括题，考查考生把握文段主题的能力和高度概括的能力。

确定主题句(Topic sentence)是获取段落主旨大意的一个有效方法。第三段的第一句“The question is，why do they have this addiction?”的表达具有概括性，结构简洁明了，本段中其它句子都是以此句为中心层层铺开的，它符合主题句的特点。所以本段的主旨是阐述购物成瘾的原因。

78. 答案：cause/bring about/result in many problems

解析：这是一道补全句子题，考查考生语篇衔接和综合归纳信息的能力。第四段位于本文最后，相对独立地阐述购物成瘾的危害。要补全的句子位于本段的首句，是本段的主题句。首句是一个由but连接的并列句，前后句呈转折关系。前半句Shopaholism seems to be a harmless addiction.说购物癖似乎无害，下半句应与其意义相反，强调购物癖的危害。下文涉及购物癖者会遇到精神和财政方面的问题和麻烦，都是对其危害的阐述。另外，本段中“Some of them can be psychological”和“It can also cause financial problems.”对补全的句子的结构进行了暗示。

79. 答案：If this is the case，people addicted to shopping should go to a support group to help them to break this habit.

解析：这是一道释义对照题，考查考生的综合理解能力和对英语句子释义的能力。

所给句子的意思是：因此，这些购物狂们应该向某个援助团体寻求帮助，以便能够停止这种难以自制的购物行为。在本文的第四段第三句与题中给出的句子意义相符。其中，If this is the case 对应 Accordingly；people addicted to shopping对应these shopaholics；a support group 对应 a certain organization for help；break this habit 对应 stop compulsive shopping。提取出关键实词的信息对应点是解答这道题的关键。

80. 答案：他们购物成瘾，而且通常买的都是用不着的东西。

解析：这是一道句子翻译题，考查考生对原文的理解以及翻译能力。该句出现在文章的第二段后两句，前面部分主要谈论购物狂的行为表现，最后两句概括出了购物癖的实质。其中Be hooked on something与be addicted to something意义相似，是对某物上瘾；and 引导并列句式结构；that 引导定语从句修饰限定先行词things。注意到了短语、并列句和从句这三点，句义就很明确了。另外，还应注意：运用倒置法处理好定语从句的句序；运用省译法删减掉定语从句的主语；选择好合适的汉语进行表达。这样才能把这个句子翻译好。★
