精品文档都很困难”故选Dbecamequitepenniless即意为“身无分文”是对broke和withnomoneyleft的同义转述。58．C定位：根据题干信息evenintheovercrowdedUnitedKingdom可将答案定位到第二段第一句。解析：原文提到：“EvenUnitedKingdomtherearelargetractsofopenHrl—spoiltcountry…(即便是在英国这样拥挤的国家，也有一大片一大片未遭破坏的乡村地区……)”选项中的notdeveloped是原文中tin．spoilt的同义转述，故为正确答案。59．B定位：根据题干信息publicpathways可将答案定位到第二段第四句。解析：原文提到，一些海滨县城修建了公路，在内陆，沿英国北部的山脉也有一条公路远途旅行者和热爱大自然的人能够收获不少乐趣而且不会有被大批其他游人打搅的感觉。可见，开辟公路就是为了让人们能够享受远足，享受自然，故选B。60．A定位：根据题干信息familygroupsnowadays可将答案定位到第三段第二句。解析原文提到现下最为常见的事情就是家人一起开车去一个美丽的景点，将车停在路边的停车带后他们就拿出准备好的各种工具和食物在自己的汽车旁野餐，故选A。PassageTwo【参考译文】买衣服对男人和女人来说是不同的经历男人去购物是因为他需要某些东西。他的目的是既定的，而且提前就做好了决定。他知道自己需要什么，而他的目的就是找到那个东西并买下来价格倒在其次[65]男人都是直接走进商店，询问店员自己想要买的东西。如果店里有货，销售员能及时找到，而且马上就能试穿或试用，这一切顺利的话，整个交易一般在五分钟之内就可以完成。虽然几乎没什么言语交谈，但是买卖双方各自都满意。[62]对于男人来说果商店没有他想买的东西或者羞不完全符合他心里的条件可能会引发一些小问题在那种情况下导购就要像自己的职业名称(导“购”)所暗示的那样，尝试卖给顾客别的东西：他把跟顾客要求最接近的东西推荐给他优秀的导购都不会贸然向顾客推荐替代品他会花一番心思和技巧。比如，他会说：“先生，我知道这件上衣不是您想要的样式，但您能否试一下，看看大小合不合适。它的颜色刚好符合您的要求。”[63]对于这种情况，男人很少会买账他们一般都会说“也许衣服的颜色和大小都合适但要是让我试穿的话：既浪费了你的时间，也浪费了我的。”现在来看一下女人买衣服的过程是怎样的呢每个环节差不多都和男人相反人购物通常都不是因为什么需求从来都没完全决定自己想要买什么，只是“四处看看”。[64]女人总是肯听他人的劝说，她重视女店员的话，甚至是同伴的话。她会什么都试窒一下。在她内心深处，她要找的衣服，是所查人都认为适合她的。与很多笑话里讲的不同，很多女人在买衣服的时候还是精打细算的她们总是在寻找意外的超值商品[65]面对一屋子衣服她们也许很容易就花上一个小时，一排排浏览，来来回回乐此不疲；她们会不时地折返脚步，.

精品文档直到发现自己想试穿的衣服这是个累人的过程但是很显然她们很享受这个过程。因此大部分服装店都为那些等待的丈夫提供座椅。【答案解析】61．D定位：根据题干信息whenamanisbuyingclothes可将答案定位到文章前两段。解析第一段中提到男人去购物是因为他需要某些东西的目的是既定的，而且提前
