6、s great store bywhat the saleswoman tellsher,even by what companions tell her.She will try on any number of things.Uppermostin her mind is the thought of finding something that everyone thinks suits her.Contrary to a lot of jokes,most women have an excellent sense of value when theybuy clothes.They
7、arealways on the lockout forthe unexpected bargain.Faced witha roomful of dresses,a woman may easily spendan hour going from one rail to another,to and fro,often retracing her steps,before selecting the dresses she wantsto try on.It is a laborious process,but apparently an enjoyable one.Most dresssh

12、ence fora man as it is for a woman 点题男人买衣服和女人买衣服是不同的经历。然后下文分别阐述男人和女人买东西的不同。故答案为 A。18.C语义理解题。根据第1 段第 2、3、4 句 A man goes shopping because he needssomething.His purpose is settled and decided in advance.He knows what he wants,and his objective is to find it and buy it 可知男人因为需要而买东西，他买东西的目的预先订下来，他知道他需要什么
13、，而且他的目标是找到他需要的东西并买下来。由此可推断只要东西合适，是他需要的，价格则是次要的事情。故答案为 C。19.B推理判断题。根据第3 段首句 For a man,slight problems may begin when theshop does not have what he wants,or does not have exactly what he wants.和末句This is the right color and may be the right size,but I should be wasting my timeand yours by trying it on
14、可知虽然价格和颜色都合适，但如果不是他想要的东西，他认为“试穿是浪费时间”，因此可推知他不会买。故答案为 B。20.C推理判断题。根据第1 段 the deal can be and often is completed in lessthan five minutes 和第 3 段中 a woman may easily spend an hour going from one railto another 可推知男人和女人买东西的明显不同是他们所用的时间不同。本文阐述如何在参加面试的前几分钟时间里给人留下深刻的印象。转自:高考招生网Millions of women use cosmeti
