题目

Bargaining is the rule here in Beijing. At least, it is so in most markets and back-street clothes shops. Bargaining is an art and if you are unfamiliar(不熟悉) with it, we'd like to offer you some advice. The tips(窍门) here are often used in Beijing but may help you at any place in the world where bargaining is practiced. DO NOT say how much you want to pay for an item(物品) unless it’s near the end of the bargaining. Always try and drop the seller's offering price as much as possible before opening your mouth with a price. DO throw out really low prices like 10 RMB with a big smile. DO keep smiling from the beginning to the end. The seller usually continues bargaining with a happy smiling face. Getting angry hardly gets you the price you want. KEEP in mind the price offered by the seller at the beginning is usually at least 40% over the generally reasonable price. It can be up to 500% over. DO have an idea of what the item costs. You can ask your friends, people in the hotel or others you know, or look at the list below. This is very general and is based(根据) on a market like Xiu Shui. You may not be able to get the lowest prices at Xiu Shui, especially on a weekend when there are lots of tourists around. 【小题1】Who is this passage written for? A．Owners of back-street shops.

【小题2】B
【小题3】A
【小题4】A
【小题5】C

解析

考查要点：本题主要考查学生对文章主旨、细节理解及推理判断的能力。
解题核心：

  1. 明确文章对象：通过文中“if you are unfamiliar with it”等提示，锁定读者群体。
  2. 提炼主题：文章结构以“DO”和“KEEP”等关键词串联，重点在于讨价还价的技巧。
  3. 细节对比：需结合选项与原文信息，排除干扰项，如“true price”“friends”等是否被提及。
    关键点：注意文章开头“we’d like to offer you some advice”暗示读者身份，以及文中多次强调的“smiling”和“price range”。

【小题1】

问题：文章是为谁写的？
解析：

  • 文章开头“if you are unfamiliar with it”说明读者是不熟悉讨价还价的人。
  • 结尾“may help you at any place in the world”暗示读者可能是旅行者（需在不同场合应用）。
  • 排除干扰项：A、B选项针对商家或本地人，C选项与文章目的矛盾。

【小题2】

问题：文章主要讨论什么？
解析：

  • 文章以“DO”“KEEP”等关键词列出讨价还价的策略，如“smiling”“price range”。
  • 排除干扰项：A、C、D均为讨价还价中的具体细节，而非整体主题。

【小题3】

问题：讨价还价中最重要的是什么？
解析：

  • 文中明确指出“KEEP smiling from the beginning to the end”，强调微笑是关键。
  • 排除干扰项：B、C、D未被原文直接强调为“most important”。

【小题4】

问题：哪条技巧未被提及？
解析：

  • A选项“找真正价格和和朋友一起去”中“和朋友一起去”未在文中出现。
  • 原文建议“ask friends”是为了解价格，但未要求“一起去市场”。

【小题5】

问题：如何以最低价获得商品？
解析：

  • C选项“价格范围在40%-500%”对应文中“40% over”“up to 500%”，说明讨价空间。
  • 排除干扰项：A、B、D均与原文信息矛盾。
