题文
阅读表达（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题。（请注意问题后的词数要求）
(1) The word addiction usually makes you think of alcohol or drugs, but in modern-day society we are seeing some new kinds of addictions. Some people are compulsive (难以自制的) shoppers. Others find it impossible to pull themselves away from their work. Still others spend countless hours watching TV or playing computer games.
(2) Over the years, shopping has become a very common activity. Many people enjoy going to stores more and more every day, but it’s more than a common hobby for some of them. They have turned into shopaholics. They are people who simply enjoy shopping and walking around spending money without being able to stop doing. They are booked on shopping and usually buy things that they don’t need. Even though they don’t have enough money, they buy everything they want.
(3) The question is, why do they have this addiction? There isn’t a specific answer. Some people go shopping when they are sad, worried, upset or lonely and they want to feel better. They use this activity as a way to forget their problems. Shopaholics say they feel more important and better after they buy something. They also tend to have this addition when they feel guilty.
(4) Shopaholism seems to be harmless addiction, but it can _____. Some of them can be psychological. If this is the case, people addicted to shopping should go to a support group to help them break this habit. However, the process, like for most addictions, is long, and they suffer a lot. It can also cause financial problems. They just think about satisfying their feelings, so they spend money they don’t have. They get deep in debt, and they can even go bankrupt and get sent to prison.

解析
76. 第一段中最全面的概括了能使人成瘾的事情。“alcohol or drugs”, “compulsive shoppers” , “their work”, “watching TV or playing computer games”. 考生要注意语言的表达，题目要求“list three activities”, 所以注意用名词或动名词来回答。77. 第三段第一句The question is: why do they have this addiction?提出了问题，下文都是对此做出的解答。所以变换一下表达方式就可以得出准确的答案。
78. 关键是上下文要连贯。上文提到，购物癖看起来是没有害处的瘾，但是…，所以要从有害的角度来说；下文也是从这个角度谈论的。
79.Accordingly：根据情况来说，同原文中的“If this is the case”——如果这是事实的话，意思接近。 turn to…for help:求助…。找到这两个关键地方就能准确找出答案。
80. be hooked on意为：成迷，上瘾，是关键短语。“that they don’t need”是things 的定语从句。
考点
据考高分专家说，试题“阅读表达（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15.....”主要考查你对 [小作文 ]考点的理解。小作文
小作文的概念：
作文多指便条、请假条等，在写作的时候要注意文章的格式（称呼、正文、签名、日期）。
小作文考题的几个特点：
1、重格式，不轻内容：
应用文的大作文的一个很大区别就是重格式，规律性强。格式和套路不对，一般会给阅卷老师留下很不好的印象。例如：信件一般不需要题目，通知和告示却需要，如2010年的题目Volunteers wanted。不只题目，还有客套话署名等。例如：公务信函中的称呼，一般而言，如果是不认识的人，称呼为敬词+尊称。例如，Dear Sir or Madam或 To whom it may concern；如果是写给关系正式的某团体中的人，称呼为敬词+尊称+名。例如，Dear Mr. xx或 Dear Ms. xx；对于关系较亲密的人可以直呼其名（Dear）Peter等。这都是有规律可循的。
2、轻思想，重交际：
这里所谓的轻思想，主要是指因为100字的应用文，除去那些客套话，其实一般主体部分也就2-3个句子就可以解决。这么短的篇幅，是不可能求思想性有多强。这点和大作文不一样，大作文中，如果你没有一定的思想深度，文章结构会很松散，让人感觉是句子的堆砌。而那种连贯性和衔接手法的应用也不会太准确。而小作文，我们要做到的只是注意用词语体以及语域的适当性，要点覆盖的全面性。
3、字数少，易得分：
应用文的篇幅很短，很容易得分。试想，想在阅读理解中10分，你需要在理解一篇500-600字的文章的基础上答对5道选择题。从这个角度而言，小作文的确是容易拿分的，应该成为考生提分的板块。
4、重套路，难发挥：
应用文的这一个特点，仍然是和它的套路性、格式化有关。因此我们更需要用词的准确性。需要我们对语言的语体特点(genre features)进行区分。以免让词汇的语体影响到准确性。写给机构的信函，应该避免使用太口语化的语言。例如06年是写给一个机构的申请信，而08年是写给友人的私人信件，那么两年的应用文写作中，就要求使用不同的语言。从称呼到正文部分，08年的文章用词都可以更口语化和随意一些。正因为这种套路的稳定性，对于同等基础的考生来讲，这部分很难达到技压群雄的效果，很难拉开和别人的距离。也就是说，对于所有考生来说，得10分不容易，得2分甚至4分也很不容易。
