Question

7．Shopping in the United States changes a lot．About ninety years ago most people shopped in small stores that were owned by one person or a family．Women went from the bakery to the butcher's to the grocer and on to the fruit and vegetable seller in order to get their food for the week．
    Then about sixty years ago，supermarkets were born．In a supermarket，people could get all the different kinds of food they needed without going to different stores．
    The next big change in shopping in the United States was the shopping mall．A shopping mall is a group of stores under one roof．Because malls allowed people to shop without worrying about the weather，they soon became very popular．The mall became a place for people to socialize in addition to shopping．If you walk through a mall，you will see older people sitting，chatting and drinking coffee．Malls are places for teenagers to hang out．Many teens will often just"go to the mall"and spend time with their friends．
    The recent change in American shopping was the superstore．Large chain stores such as Wal-Mart，Office Depot and Toys"R"Us have been built all across the United States．Because they are so large，they can buy goods at a great discount and sell them much cheaper than smaller stores．
    Sometimes，when they are built near small towns，many of the small town stores have to close．They just cannot compete with their giant neighbors．
    And now，online shopping is becoming more and more popular all over the States．People are too busy to go to the physical stores，so they go shopping over the Internet．Online shopping has lots of advantages．For instance，online stores are usually available 24 hours a day．Searching or browsing online shops can be faster than browsing the physical stores．While，online shopping also has its disadvantages．People are at higher risk of being cheated on the part of the merchant than in a physical store．And privacy of personal information may be let out．

Answer 1

分析 全文介紹了美國商店的發(fā)展變化．90年前個(gè)人或家庭經(jīng)營小商店，女人們從一個(gè)店到另一店去買需要的東西．60年前，超市誕生了．人們在一個(gè)超市就可以買到需要的任何東西．接下來大商場蓋起來．人們購物在室內(nèi)，不用擔(dān)心天氣，還可以休閑、娛樂、聊天．廣受歡迎．最近大的連鎖店在全美國興起，其最大的特點(diǎn)是價(jià)格低．現(xiàn)在網(wǎng)上購物越來越受歡迎了．利弊參半．

解答 56-59 CADB
56 C 推理判斷題．通讀全文，美國商店發(fā)展的正確順序是small stores→supermarkets→shopping malls→superstores→shopping online．故選C．
57 A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．第三段后半部分的意思是，商場已經(jīng)成為人們購物和社交的地方．走過商場，你會看到老人們坐在那兒聊天、喝咖啡．青少年和朋友去商場玩．故選A．
58 D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．倒數(shù)第三段Because they are so large，they can buy goods at a great discount and sell them much cheaper than smaller stores．（因?yàn)樗麄円?guī)模大，可以以很大的折扣價(jià)買東西．賣的當(dāng)然比小商店便宜得多．）故選D．
59 B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．文章最后一段從while后開始提到網(wǎng)上購物的缺點(diǎn)：人們比在實(shí)體店更可能上當(dāng)受騙判斷，而且個(gè)人信息有可能被泄漏．故選B．

點(diǎn)評 本文是政治經(jīng)濟(jì)類閱讀理解．做這類題材閱讀理解時(shí)要求考生對文章通讀一遍，做題時(shí)結(jié)合原文和題目有針對性的找出相關(guān)語句進(jìn)行仔細(xì)分析，結(jié)合選項(xiàng)選出正確答案．推理判斷題也是要在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上合理的分析才能得出正確答案，切忌胡亂猜測，一定要做到有理有據(jù)．
