【语篇解读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。通过叙述作者和家人乘坐晚点航班而获

得补偿的故事阐明了作者对于花钱购物的认识。在作者看来，我们在花钱的时候要精打细

算，做到花钱有所值，不能一味地追求享受而浪费钱财。

A.Sheisverystrictwithherchildren.

B.Sheseldommakesacompromise.

C.Sherarelymissesagooddeal.

D.Sheisinterestedincheapproducts.

解析：推理判断题。从第三段中的"Butasabig-timebargainhunter...fewof

uscanaffordtopassup.”可知作者很少会错过好交易，C项正确；B项中的seldom与

原文不符；D项中说她对廉价货感兴趣，本文主要表明作者希望花钱花得值，而不一定就

是喜欢便宜货，同时本文的最后一句话也对这个选项提供了相反的信息。

答案：C

B.She'sahousewife.

人”，这些与原文信息都不一致。

答案：C

3.Whatdoestheauthorwanttotellus?

A.Howtoexposebadtricks.

B.Howtoreserveairlineseats.

C.Howtospendmoneywisely.

D.Howtomakeabusinessdeal.

解析：主旨大意题。本文主要通过记叙作者和家人有一次度假旅游后，由于航空公司

超额售票而导致他们不得不放弃原来的航班而接受补偿的故事，引出了自己在花钱购物方

面的认识。她认为我们花钱应该有所值，花钱的时候要考虑所购买东西的价值，所以选

CoA项表示“怎样揭露诡计”，原文没有信息支持；B项表示“怎样预留航班座位”；D

项表示“怎样达成一个商业交易”，与本文的主要信息不一致。

答案：C

B
