分析 文章主要介紹了一個新的節(jié)日--Buy Nothing Day.在圣誕節(jié)前,人們通常會買很多東西,有人認為買的東西過多了,于是,他們發(fā)起了這個節(jié)日,來勸人們少買或不買東西.
解答 68.D細節(jié)理解題.有第二段可知,這一天是11月29日,也就是圣誕節(jié)前的25天,感恩節(jié)之后的日子.故選D.
69.C細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章首句"Most people buy a lot of gifts just before Christmas."可以看出,人們通常在圣誕節(jié)前大量購物.故選C.
70.D推理判斷題.由第三段后三句"In California,parents and children get together to read stories,sing songs,and paint pictures.The children talk about why they don't need a lot of toys.This year,in Manchester,England,people dressed up in costumes to tell people that we buy too much."第四段第一句"In Albuquerque,New Mexico,high school students wanted to tell other students about Buy Nothing Day."可知,A、B、C三項錯誤,而第一段的""是關于"不購物日"的設立意義可知答案.故選D.
