【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】本题属于推理题，问“为什么沃尔玛认为在墨西哥开业很合理”。在第一段中作者指出"Wal-Mart is already Mexico's biggest retailer too. And its shops seem to be very well welcomed by its millions of bargain-hungry customers."，即沃尔玛已经是墨西哥最大的零售商，设在这里的商店倍受那些想头廉价货的上百万顾客的欢迎。而最后一段中又提到"But neither mattered much to the hundreds of locals who queued up for the opening，delighted to be freed of the small and expensive local shops."，说的是对于许多排队等候沃尔玛开业，因免受又小又贵的当地商店的限制而开心不已的当地居民来说，沃尔玛影响景观之事并不重要。也就是说沃尔玛给人民生活提供的便利，有很大的市场需求，因而[A]“顾客广泛认可接受沃尔玛”为正确选项。 [B]“其他建筑物已经毁坏了古迹周围的景观”。第五段中提到"The problem is not so much in seeing the Wal-Mart as in taking pains to distinguish it from the 30-odd other ugly buildings. that litter the surrounding countryside."，这句话确实说明了周围其他建筑物的存在亦破坏了古迹的整体景观，但这并不是沃尔玛认为可以在此地营业的基本前提。 [C]“本地的商店又小价椿又昂贵”。最后一段提到"But neither mattered much to the hundreds of locals who queued up for the opening, delighted to be freed of the small and expensive local shops."。也就是说顾客们觉得本地的商店又小价格又昂贵，但这并非沃尔玛自己判定在此设店合理的依据。 [D]“沃尔玛对周围景观不伤大雅”。仍然是第五段中的这句话 "The problem is not so much in seeing the Wal-Mart as in taking pains to distinguish it from the 30-odd other ugly buildings that litter the surrounding countryside."，也就是说沃尔玛虽然不应该负全部责任，但它和周围其他建筑物在客观上都对古迹起了破坏作用。
