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

70/75

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。

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。”
