Answer 1

分析 几年前，戴夫斯特灵就有在互联网上卖光盘的想法．他从他家在美国俄亥俄州的生意开始，现在一年卖50万张CD，使他在24岁变成了一个百万富翁．
"我可以看到，这是未来的购物，"斯特灵说．"你为什么要支付一张光盘要付15还要花费时间和金钱进入商店和停你的车呢？你可以在您的计算机上通过点击半价买相同的光盘．我们可以找到任何你想要的光盘，并把它在24个小时内送货上门！"
据斯特灵说，这只是开始，"我相信有一天我们会在网上购物：这更容易，更快，更便宜．商店和超市将成为过去．"

解答 46．A．细节理解题．根据语境"The business he started from his home in Ohio，the USA"可知戴夫斯特灵从家里开始了他的生意．故选：A
47．D．细节理解题．根据语境"now sells 500，000 CDs a year and has made him into a millionaire（百万富翁）at the age of 24．"可知斯特灵是通过网上卖CD成为富翁的．故选：D
48．C．推理判断题．根据语境"You can have the same CD for half of the price"可知花一半的钱买相同的光盘，所以可以推断出如果在商店你付15元买CD，你应该在网上支付7.5元．故选：C
49．D．细节理解题．根据第二段最后一个句子"And we can find any CD you want and bring it to your door in 24 hours!"可知商品送货到家，不需要自己进店购买．故选：D
50．B．理解归纳题．根据语境"Shops and supermarkets will be the past．"可知商店和超市将成为过去．故选：B

点评 本题考查人物故事类阅读理解．文章讲述的是网购将会成为购物主题．在阅读故事类短文时，应理解文章的深层含义，也就是它的主题．在此需要注意的是，现在的阅读理解题在测试事实类的理解题的同时，往往有一道推理类理解测试题．
