Time to take a stand against overpriced watches with the Stauer Urban Blue, now only $29

Ifs absolutely possible to have the highest quality, precision classic timepiece without the high and mighty price tag. Here comes the Stauer Urban Blue.

Packed with high-end watch performance and style, minus the high-end price tag.

It’s everything a high-end watch should be: Sturdy stainless steel and genuine leather construction. Precision timing that,s accurate to four seconds a day—that’s more precise than a 27-jewei automatic watch priced at over S6,000.

Your satisfaction is 100% guaranteed.

Wear the Urban Blue for 30 days. If you’re not convinced that you achieved excellence for less, send it back for a refund of the item price. The Urban Blue is one of our fastest sellers. It takes six months to engineer this watch so don't wait.

本文是一篇廣告布告類短文閱讀。文章主要介紹一款僅售29美元的Urban Blue手表。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。瀏覽全文“high-end watch performance and style”，“precision”，以及“Only $29”“escape from the over-priced watch craze”可知，這是一款物美價(jià)廉的手表。故選D。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由本文最后一段Wear the Urban Blue for 30 days. If you’re not convinced that you achieved excellence for less, send it back for a refund of the item price.可知，佩戴這款表三十天，如果顧客不滿意，仍可退款。故選D。

文章內(nèi)容較為簡(jiǎn)單，集中考查細(xì)節(jié)題，對(duì)此類題型，考生可以首先從問(wèn)題中找到關(guān)鍵詞然后以此為線索，運(yùn)用略讀及查閱的技巧在文中迅速尋找這一細(xì)節(jié)找到后再把這一部分內(nèi)容仔細(xì)閱讀一遍，仔細(xì)比較所給選項(xiàng)與文中細(xì)節(jié)的細(xì)微區(qū)別。例如小題2選擇項(xiàng)中的return the watch與文章中send it back表達(dá)的是同一含義，所以我們考生要通過(guò)比較這些細(xì)微區(qū)別，仔細(xì)辨別才能得出答案。
