题目解答
答案
解析
本题考查对文章段落含义的理解。解题思路是仔细阅读第一段内容,理解其描述的场景以及关键信息,然后分析每个选项与段落内容的匹配度。
- 首先明确第一段描述了两个场景:一是父亲拖着调皮儿子的颈背从商店出来,二是母亲把孩子放在肩上从高架取物品。
- 接着看关键信息,后文提到“These scenes may seem like casual shopping behavior, but they are meaningful to stores that are trying to engineer a better experience for the consumer”以及“Such clips, sellers say, can help them find solutions to problems in their stores”,说明这些场景被记录下来用于商店分析。
- 对各选项进行分析:
- A选项:文中说父亲拖着儿子仿佛儿子是猫,并非说男孩像猫一样抓伤父亲,所以A选项不符合文意。
- B选项:文中没有任何地方提及父亲对自己教育技巧的看法,所以B选项错误。
- C选项:虽然提到男孩调皮,但文中未体现父亲很生气,所以C选项也不正确。
- D选项:结合前文对段落内容的分析,父亲的行为确实被商店录了下来,D选项符合文意。
