There are so many choices that you are confused.”(你不知道该选什么牛奶。有太多的选择让你感到困惑。)可知,购物时牛奶品类众多,以至于很难做出决策。其是下文“选择悖论”这一现象的一个案例。由此可推知,文章第一段提到买牛奶就是为了引出文章的话题。故选A。 2.A 推理判断题。根据第二段的“While we might believe that being presented with multiple options actually makes it easier to choose one that we are happy with, and thus increases consumer satisfaction, having too many options actually requires more efforts to make a decision and can leave us feeling unsatisfied with our choice.”(虽然我们可能认为,提供多种选择实际上会让我们更容易选择一种我们满意的,从而提高消费者满意度,但是选择太多实际上需要付出更多的努力才能做出决定,并且会让我们对自己的选择感到不满意。)可知,更多的选择意味着更少的满足感。故选A。 3.B 推理判断题。根据第四段的“Maximizers, unlike satisficers, are concerned with making the best choice instead of simply making a choice that they are happy with.” (与满足者不同,最大化者关心的是做出最好的选择,而不是简单地做出他们满意的选择。)可推知,满足者跟随自己的感觉,不纠结于必须做出“最好的”决定。故选B。 4.D 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Instead of believing that freedom of choice is unlimited, Schwartz advocates that the role of psychology and behavioural economics should be to find the kind of limitations on freedom that can lead to the greatest level of happiness within society.”(施瓦茨不认为选择的自由是无限的,而是主张心理学和行为经济学的作用应该是找到那种对自由的限制,可以在社会中带来最大程度的幸福。)可知,施瓦茨建议人们限制自己的选择。故选D。 Ⅴ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作为移民到加利福尼亚州的中国祖父母的后裔,陈先生在美国各地近8000家中餐馆吃过饭,见证了中国菜在美国的发展。 1.G 根据空格前“…many people in America love it, but perhaps nobody can match David R Chan. Mr Chan is a 72-year-old former lawyer in Los Angeles.”和空格后一句“If you visit one Chinese restaurant per day, it would take more than 20 years to reach his current count—7,812 restaurants.”可知,陈先生很喜欢 ... ...
