2.Imagine shopping in another country and spotting a beautiful scarf.The salesperson tells you the price,(32)but it's more than you want to buy.What do you do?The answer depends largely on what part of the world you are in.Are you visiting Southeast Asia,the Middle East,Latin America or Africa?In these places,prices often are not set in stone.In fact,customers (33)are expected(expect) to bargain before agreeing to a price.
On the other hand,in North America,Europe and Australia,bargaining is rare and often not allowed.The price (34)listed(list) on a price tag cannot be changed.
Large stores and malls usually don't allow bargaining.On the other hand,outdoor stalls and flea markets,even in Western countries,usually allow bargaining.When in doubt,consult a guidebook---or (35)better(good) yet,a local friend.
(36)Although/Though/Whilebargaining custom vary,a few rules of etiquette apply in most cultures.First,avoid wasting people's time.If you don't intend to make a purchase,don't start bargaining.While bargaining,it is OK to walk away.But once you agree to a price,you (37)must buy the item.
Even in countries (38)that/which don't allow bargaining,you may find plentiful opportunities to save money.Many stores sell old items on clearance.Others offer discount cards to regular customers.Some of these can function as credit cards (39)within/in the store,and a few can even be used elsewhere.
(40)Wherever you go,understanding local customs can help you find good prices.
分析 文章大意:想象一下你在异国购物,看上了一条漂亮的围巾,可售货员的报价超出了你的预期,你会怎么办?答案很大程度上要看你在哪.如果是东南亚,中东,拉美或非洲,是可以还价的;如果是在北美,欧洲和澳大利亚,是不允许还价的.大型商场和购物中心不许还价,但即使是在西方国家,户外小摊和跳蚤市场通常是可以还价的.如果还有不明白的,可以查阅导游册,最好是问当地的朋友.总之,无论去哪,理解当地的风俗可以帮你以不错的价格买到东西.
解答 【解答】32.but;考查连词.句意表达的是转折关系,售货员告诉你价格,但比你想要的价格高.
33.are expected;考查动词短语.be expected to do sth期待做某事.
34.listed;考查分词.句中list作price的后置定语,list与被修饰名词price之间构成动宾关系,要用表示被动的过去分词.
35.better;考查形容词的比较级.句意表达的是暗含比较,即it is better to consult a local friend than to consult a guidebook.
36.Although/Though/While;考查连词.句意表达的是转折关系,尽管还价的风俗各异.要用Although/Though/While引导让步状语从句来构成.
37.must;考查情态动词.如果你同意了价格,你就必须要买.
38.that/which;考查定语从句.句中that/which引导定语从句修饰名词countries,在不允许还价的国家.
39.within/in;考查介词.句意表达的是地点,within/in the store在商场里,和后面的elsewhere构成对比.
40.Wherever;考查连词.句意表达的让步,无论去哪里,理解当地风俗很重要.要用wherever引导让步状语从句来构成.
点评 语法填空题是考查学生的语言运用能力.解题时,要在理解文章的基础上,灵活运用语法知识,如词性,时态,名词单复数,连接词,代词,冠词等判断空白处应填写的内容.解答完成后,还要通读全文,核对所填单词形式是否正确,是否符合语境.
