以上文字告诉我们的道理是( )。

A.教育要尊重孩子的性格和爱好
B.做事情需要有自己的主见
C.凡事要三思而后行
D.懂得放弃才能避免更大的损失

答案

参考答案:D

解析: 意图推断题。妈妈买了电子琴,亚莉不愿意学,妈妈又怕电子琴浪费,于是又请了家教,然而最终结果只是徒增成本。这个故事告诉我们一个道理:当进行了一项不理性的行动后,切莫因为不舍得放弃先前的付出和投资而再进行无谓的后续付出和投资,只有这样,才能避免更大的损失。综观选项,D项最为符合。A项表述没有问题,但没有切中文段主旨;B项和C项表述片面。故本题正确答案选择D项。

The following people are expressing their thoughts (81--85) to show their concern for food, environment and so on.After that are pieces of related information (A--F) .Now decide which piece of information would be most suitable for the thought and idea mentioned in questions (81—85) and mark your answer letter (A---F) on your answer sheet.There is one extra paragraph which you do not need to use.

______小题1:How I was struck by the clear water and fresh air in my childhood! But everything has changed, that is, the clear water and fresh air are nowhere to be found again as they were.Above all, a great deal of waste hardly rots away.

______小题2:More and more people are beginning to have a good knowledge of the importance of a safer and cleaner environment, which in turn forces the business to be cleaned up.

______小题3:Organic products are getting more and more popular among people, but we should know the fact that organic products might also have something to do with pesticides.

______小题4:I’m very much fond of growing some vegetables of my own in my small garden, for many vegetables on sale in markets are actually becoming more and more dangerous as a result of widespread pesticides.

______小题5:Nowadays it is very convenient for consumers to find and buy green food in supermarkets as they are clearly marked.

A."Organic produce is always better, "Gold said."The food is free of pesticides(农药) ,and you are generally supporting family farms instead of large farms.And more often than not it is locally grown and seasonal, so it is more tasty." Gold is one of a growing number of shoppers buying into the organic trend, and supermarkets across Britain are counting on more like him as they grow their organic food business.

B.Market research shows that Gold and others who buy organic food can generally give clear reasons for their preferences - but their knowledge of organic food is far from complete.For example, small amounts of pesticides can be used on organic products.And about three quarters of organic food in Britain is not local but imported to meet growing demand."The demand for organic food is increasing by about one third every year, so it is a very fast-growing market, "said Sue Flock, a specialist in this line of business.

C.Many cities around the world today are heavily polluted.Careless methods of production and lack of consumer demand for environment-friendly products have contributed to the pollution problem.One result is that millions of tons of glass, paper, plastic, and metal containers are produced, and these are difficult to get rid of.

D.However, today, more and more consumers are choosing "green" and demanding that the products they buy should be safe for the environment.Before they buy a product, they ask questions like these: "Will this shampoo damage the environment?" "Can this metal container be reused or can it only be used once?" E.Only a few years ago, it was impossible to find green products in supermarkets, but now there are hundreds.Some supermarket products carry labels(标签) to show that the product is green.Some companies have made the manufacturing(制造) of clean and safe products their main selling point and emphasize it in their advertising.

F.The concern for a safer and cleaner environment is making companies rethink how they do business.No longer will the public accept the old attitude of "Buy it, use it, throw it away, and forget it." The public pressure is on, and gradually business is cleaning up its act.
