题目解答
答案
根据第三段,“Traditional merchants worry that the growing e-commerce will shrink their share of the market.” 可知,传统商家担心电子商务会缩小他们的市场份额。选项A表示“电子商务已经缩小了他们的市场份额”,与原文不符;选项B准确表达了“电子商务将缩小他们的市场份额”的担忧;选项C与原文相反。因此,正确答案是B。
答案:B. their share of the market will be shrunk by the growing e-commerce
解析
本题考查对文章细节信息的理解。解题思路是在文章中找到与传统商家担忧相关的内容,然后将各选项与原文进行细致对比,判断其是否符合原文表达的意思。
- 首先,在文章中定位到关键语句“Traditional merchants worry that the growing e - commerce will shrink their share of the market.”,明确传统商家担心的是不断发展的电子商务会缩减他们的市场份额。
- 接着分析选项A:“the growing e - commerce has been shrinking their share of the market”,此选项说电子商务已经缩减了他们的市场份额,而原文是将来时态“will shrink”,表示还未发生,所以选项A与原文不符。
- 再看选项B:“their share of the market will be shrunk by the growing e - commerce”,该选项准确表达了电子商务将缩减他们市场份额的意思,与原文一致。
- 最后看选项C:“the growing e - commerce won't shrink their share of the market”,此选项表达的意思与原文中传统商家的担忧完全相反。
