Question

【题目】阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出最佳选项。

In the past(过去), people shopped for fruits, vegetables, bread and meat at small food stores and at open markets. Before there were refrigerators, it was difficult to keep food fresh for a long time, so people shopped almost every day.

Life today is very different from the past. Refrigerators keep food fresh, so people don’t have to shop every day. People also have very busy lives. They have time to shop for food only once or twice a week.

People shop for food in different kinds of places—in small stores, at large supermarkets and sometimes at wholesale(批发) stores that sell food and other things at very low prices. Some people even shop on the Internet. They order food online, and the company sends it to their home. And in many places around the world, people still shop at open markets. So people in different places like to shop for food in different ways.

【解析】

试题分析：这篇短文主要讲述了过去和现在人们购物方式的不同。

【1】D细节理解题。根据第一段Before there were refrigerators, it was difficult to keep food fresh for a long time, so people shopped almost every day.可知在有冰箱之前，想让食物保持一段时间是很难的，所以人们几乎每天都去购物。故选D。

【2】B词义猜测题。根据第一段可推断出食物不能保存很长时间是因为那时候还没有冰箱。因此refrigerators意为冰箱。故应该选B。

【3】B推理判断题。根据文章中最后一段可知人们购物的方式有以下几种：in small stores, at large supermarkets and sometimes at wholesale(批发) stores，on the Internet，at open markets一共有五种方式。故选B。

【4】B推理判断题。根据文章可知冰箱可以让食物保持新鲜，有了冰箱后，人们不必每天都去购物了。因此冰箱在家是非常有用的，故选B。

【5】A主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了过去和现在人们是如何购物的。故选A。
