单选题
Why is Argyll Stores giving discounts? A. To mark an anniversary B. To promote a new brand C. To celebrate a national holiday D. To get rid of overstocked goods
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】这道题问的是“Argyll Stores进行特卖会的理由”。一般来说，商场会在每月定期举办特卖会，或者因为开业、装修等“特殊原因”而举办。在这篇文章中，第一段开头处写到“for over 10 years”，紧接着又写到“To recognize this achievement，now through June30 we're having a special sale”，所以是“10周年特卖会”。在本题的选项中，将其替换成了“anniversary(纪念日)”。
单选题
How can people get a MaxiPlus Card? A. By visiting in person B. By signing up online C. By using a store catalog D. By making a phone call
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】通常情况下，特卖会的广告是按照特卖会介绍、特卖会的详细内容、附加信息的顺序编写的。会员卡、折扣等相关信息和注意事项等，通常都会在后半部分出现。第二段的“Sign up for one of our specialArqyll Maxi-Plus Cards at the customer service desk”一句就是重点。如果想办卡，就必须去“顾客服务柜台”。而选项中并没有完全符合此意的表述，所以解题时一定要注意。
