Question

11．Going shopping seems easy，but actually it takes a lot of learning，especially in America．In fact，many Americans who are not so well-off often shop at"sales"or at special stores that sell things at low prices，which you may find interesting．In America，the important rule of dressing is that one should change his or her clothes every day．For example，in an American college，neither professors nor students are seen in the same clothes two days in a row．So you may find it necessary to buy more clothes than you have in China．While you are shopping in the States，you will discover that prices range considerably from time to time．The purchase of used，second-hand clothing，furniture，or other household articles may be an excellent way of saving money．Most second-hand clothes are of pretty good quality．If you are going to settle down in the States and want some furniture，you may go to a ^"loan closet"，where furniture rents at low cost，or you may also go to a"furniture exchange"place in the community．
  Sheets，blankets，and other bedclothes go on sale in most communities twice a year．Advertisements for"white sales"on bed linen，towels，etc．，often appear in January，as well as in May，June or July．Once or twice every season，there will be"garage sales"，where you can get almost anything，from a yacht to a pair of shoes，at low prices．Prices at"discount stores"and"thrift shops"are also as low as you can imagine．
  When shopping for food，you should look for special prices for various items that are put on sale weekly．To economize，it would be a good idea for you to plan the weekly menu according to what is on sale，including in it the meats，vegetables，fruits，etc．that can be bought at special prices that week．
Exchange and return policies vary from store to store．You should also keep in mind that exchange and return policies for sales items can be different from standard store policies，especially if the price of the items has been reduced．Ask the merchant about their exchange and return policies before making your purchase．Obtaining an exchange or a return without a store receipt is often difficult．So，to save yourself the headache，you'd better hold on to any paper or other proof of purchase．

Answer 1

分析 本文為社會(huì)生活類(lèi)說(shuō)明文，文中介紹了在美國(guó)購(gòu)物的學(xué)問(wèn)．在美國(guó)購(gòu)物時(shí)常價(jià)格變化很大，有不同的購(gòu)物方式可以節(jié)省開(kāi)支；購(gòu)買(mǎi)二手物品是省錢(qián)的好辦法；如果你想在美國(guó)居住需要家具，在^"loan closet"可以以很低的價(jià)格租家具，或去社區(qū)的"furniture exchange（家具交換處）"；大多數(shù)社區(qū)"white sales（大減價(jià)）"每年兩次，可以買(mǎi)床單、毛巾等；garage sales每個(gè)季度（即每三個(gè)月）一到兩場(chǎng)；購(gòu)買(mǎi)食物時(shí)，要根據(jù)大減價(jià)確定每周的菜單；購(gòu)物前要搞清退換貨政策，保留收據(jù)．

解答 CDCAC
41．答案是C．細(xì)節(jié)理解題；根據(jù)第一段第六句"you will discover that prices range considerably from time to time你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)價(jià)格不時(shí)變化，變化很大"推斷，有時(shí)價(jià)格變化很大，故選C．
42．答案是D．細(xì)節(jié)理解題；根據(jù)第一段最后一句"If you are going to settle down in the States and want some furniture，you may go to a ^"loan closet"，where furniture rents at low cost"可知，如果你想要在美國(guó)定居需要家具，你可以去"Loan closet"，那里你可以以很低的價(jià)格租到家具，故選D．
43．答案是C．細(xì)節(jié)理解題；根據(jù)第二段第二句"Advertisements for"white sales"on bed linen，towels，etc．often appear in January，as well as in May，June or July．"可知，white sales（大減價(jià)）常常出現(xiàn)在一月或五到七月，賣(mài)床單，毛巾等，故選C．
44．答案是A．細(xì)節(jié)理解題；根據(jù)第二段第三句"Once or twice every season，there will be"garage sales"，"可知，garage sales每個(gè)季度（即每三個(gè)月）一到兩場(chǎng)，故選A．
45．答案是C．詞匯理解題；根據(jù)上文語(yǔ)境"Obtaining an exchange or a return without a store receipt is often difficult．"可知此處強(qiáng)調(diào)保留receipt（收據(jù)）的重要性，它們是你購(gòu)物的證據(jù)，故"any paper or other proof"指receipt（收據(jù)），答案選擇C．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 閱讀要整體理解文章，在做細(xì)節(jié)題時(shí)根據(jù)題干定位細(xì)節(jié)，在語(yǔ)境中正確理解原句，然后對(duì)照選項(xiàng)做出合理的判斷；必要的時(shí)候要進(jìn)行推理，透過(guò)句子表面看作者的真正意圖．如果是主旨大意的判斷要把握文章整體，避免以偏概全．
