Passage 19

[语篇解读]本文为一篇说明文。当今世界，随着科技的发展，人们 足不出户，就可以买到自己所需要的任何东西。本文向我们介绍了网 :购物的优点，并且提醒人们在进行网上购物时需要注意的一些问 题。本文的最后一段介绍了 windowshopping (浏览樹窗) 。

1. D细节理解题。文章的第一段介绍了人们为什么采用网上购物这 种方式。所提到的理由是:①方便;②便宜，故本题选D.

2. C词义猜测题。由it is more convenient后面的三个分句的意思可以猜出convenient —词的意思是“方便的”。

3. B细if理解题。由文章第_段第一句If you want to buy something on the Internet,you need a credit card.可知本题选B.

4. C 推理判断题。由文中的 Some stores like /ImazoTi.com are only for online shopping.可知选项C是错误的。

[长难句]...they can find things for sale that they can’t find in the stores near their homes.……他们可以发现一些在他们家附近的商店里发现不了的正在销售的商品。

本句中 that they can’t find in the stores near their homes 是定语从句，修饰先行词things。介词短语near their homes在本句中作后置定语，修饰名词stores。
