《2025年一本英语五合一必刷题高中人教版》

Two months ago, I decided to stop shopping online to see how it would affect my life.
At first, quitting was harder than I had expected, especially the first week. I found myself incredibly attracted by emails, ads online, and photos of new products from some of my favorite shops on Instagram. But every single time I saw something I wanted, I asked myself: Is this something you absolutely need? And, without doubt, the answer was always no. Eventually, I ended up learning several surprising things about my finances. For example, I realized way too much of my money had gone toward clothing and shoes.
I also realized I had wasted valuable hours of my life that could have been spent much more productively. Once I broke my habit of visiting my favorite shops online any time I was bored, I found I had a large amount of time on my hands. Without spending 30 minutes or an hour each night seeing what was for sale online, I was able to focus on activities that were not only meaningful, but didn't cost me a cent.
This challenge helped me reassess where my money was going. I feel better knowing not only I'm saving money for more meaningful expenses, but also that I'm not filling my home with random items I don't need.

答案： 21. A 根据下一句“I found myself incredibly attracted by emails, ads online, and photos of new...from some of my favorite shops on Instagram.”可知，一开始作者很容易被网络上的广告等吸引，由此可推知，对作者来说刚开始不网购要比她预想 得更困难。
22. C 根据空前的 photos of new 和空后 的“from some of my favorite shops on Instagram”可知，此处指 Instagram 上一些作者最喜欢的网店里的新产品的图片。
23. B 根据空后的“I asked myself：Is this something you absolutely need?”并结合选项可知，当作者想要某件东西的时候，她就会问自己是否真的需要它。
24. D 根据空后的“the answer was always no”可知，当作者问自己是否真正需要某件东西时，毫无疑问，答案总是否定的。
25. A 根据下一句“For example, I...way too much of my money had gone toward clothing and shoes.”可知，作者举例说明自己在网购衣服和鞋子上花了太多的钱。由此可推知，她对自己的财务状况有了惊人认识。finances 意为“财务状况”。
26. C 根据下文中的 I also realized 可知，此处指作者意识到在网购衣服和鞋子上面花了太多钱。
27. D 根据下一句“Once I broke my habit of...I found I had a large amount of time on my hands.”可知，作者不网购后，发现自己手头多出了很多时间。由此可推知，作者以前在网购上花了很多时间，把许多宝贵的时间都浪费了。
28. A 根据语境可知，作者本来可以更有效地利用生活中的宝贵时间。productively 意为“有成效地”。
29. B 根据常识并结合选项可知，作者之前每当无聊的时候都会浏览自己喜欢的网店。
30. C 作者逛网店就是想看看有哪些东西在出售。
31. B 根据空前的“Without spending 30 minutes or an hour...for sale online”和空后的“activities that were not only meaningful”可知，作者不网购后，有了更多时间，就能够专注于那些有意义的活动。
32. A 根据语境并结合选项可知，那些有意义的活动并不需要花费一分钱。cent 意为“分”。
33. D 根据第一段可知，两个月前，作者决定停止网购，因此此处指这个戒掉网购习惯的挑战帮助作者重新评估了自己的钱都去哪儿了。
34. B 作者意识到了自己网购不理性的问题，由此可推知，作者现在会把省下来的钱用于一些更有意义的花销。
35. C 根据空前的“I’m not filling my home with random items”可知，现在作者不会把家里塞满不需要的东西。
