【选项】
shavecuttheirspendingonit
ceshavegoneupovertheyear
lityhasenmarkedimprovement
shavedevelopedthehabitofsaving
【答案解析】根据题干关键词marketsales和toiletpaper可以定位到首段Shoppers
intheUKarespendinglessmoneyontoiletpapertosavemoney“英国的购物者减少
卫生纸开支以省钱”和第三段首句Thishaswiped6%offthevalueofthesofttissue
papermarket“这使得软棉纸市场的价值下降了6%”。haswipedoff正好对应题干have
incread。This指代的是第二段的内容Penny-pinchingUKconsumerschoocheaper
productsfromdiscounters“吝啬的英国消费者从折扣商店选择更为便宜的商品”。综上所
述，选A“卫生纸市场销售额下降是因为英国人缩减这方面的开支”。
【答案】A
47.【题干】Whatdoestheauthorthinkofthefutureofthetissuepapermarket
intheUK?
【选项】
expandintime.

experienceupsanddowns.
recoveraspopulationgrows.
【答案】B
66
【答案解析】根据题干关键词tissuepaper可以定位到第三段首句Thishaswiped6%
offthevalueofthesofttissuepapermarketintheUK.根据第三句thefutureof
themarketlooksfarfromrosy“市场的未来看起来远远不够乐观”。因此，本题选B“作
者认为绵纸市场的未来仍然是惨淡的”。
48.【题干】WhatdoesJackDuckettsayabouttoiletpaper?
【选项】
lofferswouldpromoteitssales.
ersareloyaltocertainbrands.
ousfeaturesaddmuchtotheprice.
ershaveavarietytochoofrom.
【答案】C
【答案解析】根据题干关键词JackDuckett可以定位到第五段的引用部分。A“特价可以促
进销售额”，原文引用处最后部分提到了specialoffer。which指代的是theextra
features，也就是thowithflowerpatternsorperfume。“这些额外的特点反映了这些
商品通常比普通的卫生纸要贵，即使是在特价销售的时候。”所以A是利用原文细节信息设置
的干扰选项，可以排除。B“消费者忠于某些品牌”和D“消费者有多样化的选择”，引用处
均未提及，直接排除。C“奢侈品的特点大幅度提升了价位”，正好对应原文引用处which引
导的非限定性定语从句的内容。
49.【题干】WhatdowelearnaboutBritonsconcerningtoiletpaper?
【选项】
eparticularaboutthequalityoftoiletpaper.
phasizethestrengthoftoiletpaperthemost.
efercheaptoiletpapertorecycledtoiletpaper.
jectusingtoiletpaperwithunnecessaryfeatures.
【答案】A
【答案解析】根据题干关键词Britons和toiletpaper可以定位到第六段。根据原文
theyremainfussy...whenitcomestopaperquality可知，A选项正好是同义替换。如
果不认识fussy“爱挑剔的”和beparticularabout“对...挑剔”，可以用排除法。依据自
然段界定原则，48题定位到第五段，50题定位到最后一段，所以本题定位到第六段。CD均不
在定位范围，可以直接排除。B“他们最强调的是卫生纸的强度”，由原文可知，最关注的应
该是softness，所以B选项排除。采取这种方法也可以选出A。
67
50.【题干】Whatcanweinferfromthelastparagraph?
【选项】
dmoreBritonsbuyrecycledtoiletpapertoprotecttheenvironment.
papermanufacturersarefacingagreatchallengeinpromotingits
sales.
papermanufacturerscompetewithoneanothertoimprove.
nmentalprotectionisnotmuchofaconcernwhenBritonsbuytoilet
paper.
【答案】D
【答案解析】根据题干thelastparagraph可知答案要在最后一段寻找。由原文“1/10
的购买者把利用可循环纸制造的卫生卷纸列为首选，这突出表明，相比环境，购买者更加关注
商品质量的现象是多么普遍。”因此，我们可以选出D“英国人购买卫生纸的时候，环境保护
不是人们十分关心的。”
