佳作欣赏

I am an 18yearold middle school student.I have been busy with my study and seldom helped my parents with the housework.Feeling quite sorry for that，I begin to think about what I can do to help.

Last Sunday，when my parents went out shopping，I suddenly got an idea：why not give the rooms a thorough cleaning？Firstly I collected all the books，newspapers and other things scattered in the rooms and put them in place.Then I wiped the dust off the furniture.After that，I swept and mopped the floors.

At this very moment，my parents came back and were surprised to see all the rooms tidy and floors shining.My mother gave me a hug and I could see satisfaction in her eyes.Tired as I was，I felt very happy.

(2015·重庆)

In ancient Egypt，a shopkeeper discovered that he could attract customers to his shop simply by making changes to its environment.Modern businesses have been following his lead，with more tactics(策略)．

One tactic involves where to display the goods.For example，stores place fruits and vegetables in the first section.They know that customers who buy the healthy food first will feel happy so that they will buy more junk food(垃圾食品) later in their trip.In department stores，the women’s shoe section is generally next to the women’s cosmetics(化妆品) section：while the shop assistant is going back to find the right size shoe，bored customers are likely to wander over and find some cosmetics they might want to try later.

Besides，businesses seek to appeal to customers’ senses.Stores notice that the smell of baked goods encourages shopping，so they make their own bread each morning and then fan the bread smell into the store throughout the day.Music sells goods，too.Researchers in Britain found that when French music was played，sales of French wines went up.

When it comes to the selling of houses，businesses also use highly rewarding tactics.They find that customers make decisions in the first few seconds upon walking in the door，and turn it into a business opportunity.A California builder

designed the structure of its houses smartly.When entering the house，the customer would see the Pacific Ocean through the windows，and then the pool through an open stairway leading to the lower level.The instant view of water on both levels helped sell these 10 million houses.

40．Why do stores usually display fruits and vegetables in the first section?

A．To save customers time.

B．To show they are high quality foods.

C．To help sell junk food.

D．To sell them at discount prices.

答案 C

解析 细节理解题。根据文章第二段第三句“They know that customers who buy the healthy food first will feel happy so that they will buy more junk food(垃圾食品) later in their trip.”可知，他们这样做是为了卖垃圾食品。

41．According to Paragraph 3，which of the following encourages customers to buy?

A．Opening the store early in the morning.

B．Displaying British wines next to French ones.

C．Inviting customers to play music.

D．Filling the store with the smell of fresh bread.

答案 D

解析 细节理解题。根据文章第三段第二句可知，他们通过使商店里充满新鲜面包的气味来使顾客消费。

42．What is the California builder’s story intended to prove?

A．The house structure is a key factor customers consider.

B．The more costly the house is，the better it sells.

C．An ocean view is much to the customers’ taste.

D．A good first impression increases sales.

答案 D

解析 细节理解题。根据最后一段第二句“They find that customers make decisions in the first few seconds upon walking in the door，and turn it into a business opportunity.”可知选择D。

43．What is the main purpose of the passage?

A．To explain how businesses turn people into their customers.

B．To introduce how businesses have grown from the past.

C．To report researches on customer behavior.

D．To show dishonest business practices.

答案 A

解析 写作意图题。本文主要介绍商店的工作人员怎样通过改变环境来促进顾客消费，来买更多的商品。故选择A。

通过阅读文章可知，本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍商店的工作人员怎样通过改变环境(把水果和蔬菜放在店里最显眼的位置等)来促进顾客消费，来买更多的商品。

文章具体脉络如下：

2．总结解题规律，提高解题能力

事实询问型理解题

高考阅读理解大多是事实询问题，这类试题通常以疑问词

what/who/when/where/why/how引起特殊问句，就文章中某一词语、某一句子、某一段落或某一具体细节和事实进行提问。解答此类试题首先要弄清题目和每一个选项的含义，然后按题目要求寻找与之相关的细节，正确估计答案来源。同时要注意题目和文章中的暗示作用，特别注意辨别各种信息，确认各种信息。比如第42题：

What is the California builder’s story intended to prove?

A．The house structure is a key factor customers consider.

B．The more costly the house is，the better it sells.

C．An ocean view is much to the customers’ taste.

D．A good first impression increases sales.

定位信息至最后一段第二句“They find that customers make decisions in the first few seconds upon walking in the door，and turn it into a business opportunity.”可知，他们发现，顾客在进门几秒钟之内就做出决定是否购买，并把此作为商机，根据这一事实，答案选择D。
