1、[RlJ

标准答案：H

知识点解析：此空格前面那句说的是移居日本的美国人从来没能习惯在这里被视为

理所当然的服务和礼节的范畴。下面这句，也就是H句，进一步具体到那些年龄

大到还能记得故乡往事的美国移民在生活中会有丝丝念旧怀想的情怀。

2、[R2]

标准答案：F

知识点解析：木段说的是日本超市服务如何到家，每个柜台都有两三个人帮助顾客

把食品杂货打包，每个物品包都钉得整整齐齐。而F句则是进一步描述他们服务

的到位：冷冻食品旁边塞有干冰，以确保路上不致发生腐坏。

3、[R3]

标准答案：A

知识点解析•：此空格前句说的是电视商店通常会派一名技师前往安装调试新售出的

电视机。而A句则进一步说明要是出了什么问题，这位技师就会立即赶过来处理

解决。

4、[R4]

标准答案：G

知识点解析：此段前句说的是可以送货上门的商品是没有限制的，而G句补充说

明送货到办公室也很普通，尤其是午餐外卖。两句结合起来概括了日本送货上门无

处不在的状况。

5、[R5]

标准答案：B

知识点解析：此空格前句说的是日本的理发师们在常规的理发之后还奉送按摩服

务。B句进一步描绘他们（理发时）摘下客人的眼镜后，会擦拭了镜片后再还给客

人。

6、[R6]

标准答案：D

知识点解析：此空格前说的是日本百货商店的展销人员是美国商店展销人员的两

倍。而D句则进一步说出这么多的人员使得“许多商场把所有售出的货物都进行包

7、[R7]

标准答案：C

知识点解析：此段指出了日本个人服务的最大缺点在于此种服务可能非常明显的太

不个人化，每个人都得到同样对待。C句揭发雇员欢快的问候和说明其实常常都是

从一本公司手册上背诵下来的。而此空格后的那句更证明了日本式礼貌的“不认人”

状态：客人在酒店住了1个月，却发现酒店的服务人员还是不知道他们谁是谁。

8、[R8]

标准答案：E

知识点解析：这是本篇最后一段的最后一句，此空格前说到日本人还是把服务看作

维护商业关系的胶水。如果第1笔买卖中伴以正确的个人联络和售后服务，那么第

2笔也会接踵而来。市场份额和忠诚的顾客是第1目标，而不是短期效益。E句总

结道：服务可能会付出成本，但是这能帮助实现这些更为重要的目标。

D、Promising.

标准答案：B

知识点解析：此题问的是书店的未来，第一自然段最后一句提出了这个问题，作者

在第二自然段开头说“Thiswastheburningquestionsoneveryone'slips…”，因此，书

店的未来引发了热烈的讨论，众说纷纭，是不清楚的，即“unclear”。

人们可以集中精神阅读，其他空间可以用来举办作者的演讲等”）和D选项（第3段

最后一句：“拥有吧台和咖琲店是关键的”）。因此只有D选项（奢华的装潢）在文中

D^Togivepeopleachancetoexercisebyclimbingstairs.

C、havealookinshopsandpurchaseonline

标准答案：C

知识点解析：第5段第4句提到书店的顾客有时候在书店浏览完图书之后却去网上

购买，这个现象很普遍。第5段第2句提到人们是付款才看电影的，因此A选项

错误；人们来书店不仅仅只购买打折物品，有些人“paygoodmoneytoheara

concerts因此B选项错误；文章没有提到免费咖啡，因此D选项错误。

23、Whichofthefollowingmightbeabetterideatoattractshoppers?

A、Chargesonprivileges.

C^selltheircopyrighttoonlinereaders

D、lendtheirmanuscriptstobookstores

标准答案：A

知识点解析：第7段第2句提至『'buddingauthorsshouldhaveaccesstoself-printing

bookmachines-,那些刚刚开始写作而尚未出名的作者应该能够在书店中使用白助

印书机，印出自己的图书。第7段第3句提到“…inAmericabookstoresarefinding

themtobeanimportantsourceofrevenue”，美国的书店发现自助印书是一个重要的

收入来源，因此我们能够知道，作者在美国可以自助印书。
