C.Opposed. D.Tolerant.语篇解读:本文主要探讨了家庭主妇的宏大之处。答案及剖析:4.C细微环节理解题。依据第一段的其次句“Idon’tunderstandwhytheirintroductionisalwaysfilledwithregretandself-pity.”可知,家庭主妇在自我介绍时会对自己的身份感到懊悔或者缺憾。5.D推理推断题。依据其次段的整体内容可知,家庭主妇身兼多职,其在家庭中的作用和地位不行小觑,为整个家庭做出了巨大的贡献。6.D推理推断题。依据第三段的“Wouldyoualongwithyourfamilyhavebeenabletobuyallthecontentinlifethatyouareenjoyingnowwiththatmoney?”可推知,职业妇女是不行能享有家庭主妇所享有的那种满意感的,那是钱买不来的。7.A观点看法题。依据文章最终一段的“Introduceyourselfwithprideandwithtwinkleinyoureyes‘Iamahousewife’.Kickthat‘just’out.”可推知,作者是支持家庭主妇的。Ⅱ.语法填空E-commerce(电子商务)haschangedthelivesofpeopleacrosstheworld.Withfewerpeople1.(leave)homeforshopping,physicalstoresarehavingadifficulttime.2.itseemsthatonekindofphysicalstoreisnotbeinghit—theconveniencestore.
