2. A 。由第五段“ But parents also need to take the blame for spending so much money. They want their children to have the best stuff. They end up competing with other parents over what their children have. ”可知，父母攀比，希望孩子用最好的东西，这无形中鼓励了孩子的攀比意识，以及高消费意识，故 A 项正确。
3. C 。文中第七段提到了广告对孩子高消费的影响；第八段提到了银行推出的信用卡及借贷服务的影响；第九段可以看出生活水平提高对人们消费意识的影响。 C 项中的“ saving is out of date ”错误，故选 C 。

1. D 。由第二段“ There have been countless occasions where my classmates have shown the inability to differentiate ( 区分 ) between people from China, Japan and South Korea. ”可知 A 正确；由第六段的“ However, it seems that only the adoption ( 接受 ) of American culture is rewarded at Hotchkiss. ”可知 B 正确；由第六段的“ …particularly at a school where global awareness is supposed to be important. ”可知 C 正确； D 项文中没有提及。

Should we not recognize our responsibility and be the ones to reach out? ” 可知 B 与 C 也是作者同意的观点；由最后一段的“ Don't force others to ignore their backgrounds to be accepted. Allow people to be themselves. ”可知作者希望每个人都能保持自己本色，也不希望外界环境以及周围的人给他人施加压力，使其改变，所以 D 项观点是作者反对的观点。
1. B 。先找到文中介绍 Kobe Bryant 的段落，由“ Kobe asked to be traded several months ago and hopes to play for the Chicago Bulls. But so far the two teams have not agreed to a trade. This has put the superstar in a foul mood ( 心情不佳 ). ”可知 B 项符合题意。
