37、acation, I went back to my regular spending habits.篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过介绍自己的经验来建议人们如果打算一年或者一个月不购买某些物品，最好要有一个目标来激励自己。1E前句介绍人们决心一年不购买某些东西，由此可推断，他们仅仅使用自己已有的物品。故E选项内容可以承接上文。2C设空前是本段的主题句，而设空后是介绍作者自己的经验。由此推断，空格处是过渡句，C选项内容符合语境。3G前段介绍了作者和孩子一起度过的一个假期，设空后一句讲到作者对自己重回过去的购物行为的反思。由此判断，G选项内容可以作为过渡句。4A设空前内容为“不购买活动”会给
38、人们带来快乐，而设空后内容为人们需要努力不受诱惑，做到不购买物品。由此判断，A选项内容符合语境。5B空格前介绍了作者的新目标，所以作者和大家一起拭目以待，看看自己是否能够实现目标，故B选项内容可以承接上文。attempt vt. 试图，尝试，企图identify vt. 确定；识别，认出convince vt. 使确信；使信服；说服第一段第四句：If youre going to participate in a nobuy year or month, you probably should identify why youre doing it before you start.译文：如果你打算一年或一个月不买东西，你应该在这个计划开始之前就知道你为什么要这么做。分析：这是一个主从复合句，if引导条件状语从句。主句中why引导宾语从句，作动词identify的宾语；before引导时间状语从句。
