单选题
{{B}}Questions 11-15 are based on the following passage:{{/B}}
All the people who went to the new supermarket had one great hope: to be the lucky customer who did not have to pay for his shopping. For this was what the notice just inside the entrance promised. It said, "Remember, once a week, one of our customers gets free goods. This may be your lucky day!"
For several weeks Mrs. White hoped, like many of her friends, to be the lucky customer. Unlike her friends, however, she never lost heart. Her kitchen was full of things which she did not really need. Her husband tried again and again to persuade her to give it up, but she just wouldn't listen. She dreamed of the day when the manager of the supermarket would come up to say, "Madam, this is your lucky day. Everything in your basket today is free."
One Friday morning, after she had finished her shopping and had taken it to her car, she found that she had forgotten to buy some tea. She rushed back to the supermarket, got the tea and went to the desk to pay for it. As she was walking, she saw the manager of the supermarket coming up. "Madam," he said warmly, holding out his hand, "I want to congratulate you! You are our lucky customer today. Everything you've got in your basket is free."
单选题 People went to the supermarket to______.
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[注释] 一般而言,第一道题的依据句可以从文章的开始部分寻找。本题的依据句为文章的第——句话“All the people who went to the new supermarket had one great hope: to be the lucky customer who did not have to pay for his shopping.”。B项答案非常明确;其他选择项在本句中没有涉及到,属于无关信息。
单选题 Mrs. White is different from her friends who were______.
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[注释] 本题题干上的信号词为“different, friends”,依据句为“Unlike her friends, however, she never lost heart.”。“lose heart”=“lose hope or always be hopeful”,她从来者D是满怀希望“always be hopeful”,而她的朋友与她不同,并不是经常满怀希望“not always hopeful”。
单选题 Mrs. White's husband tried to______.
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[注释] 注意题干上的名词“Her husband”在文章中出现的地方,从而可以很容易地找到本题的依据句“Her husband tried again and again to persuade her to give it up, but she just wouldn't listen.”。本句话的主要意思为丈夫不让她为了中奖而购买不必要的东西,并不是不让她去商场。所以B项错误;A和D项内容在文中没有出现,属于无关信息。
单选题 When the manager told her that she was the lucky customer, Mrs. White would be______.
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[注释] 本题为一道推理题。由于仅仅是她忘买的茶是免费的,其价值不值一提,所以她应该感到失望。
单选题 Which of the following can we infer from the passage?
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[注释] 本题也是一个推理题,由本实例说明商场会玩一些小把戏促销,所以消费者应该对此多加小心不上当。其他的选择项说法没有足够的理由在任何情况下都成立。
