【點睛】廣告類短文基本上以細(xì)節(jié)題的考查為主，此類文章主要考查考生提取信息和處理信息的能力，既注重特定細(xì)節(jié)的篩選、類比、綜合，又注重推理判斷題的考查，題目設(shè)置較容易。答題時沒有必要把每一句話弄清楚，只要重點理解和題目有關(guān)的信息就可以了。做這類題時沒有必要閱讀全文，宜采用“倒序法”來處理。即先看問題，后看文章內(nèi)容。這樣在閱讀中可以有重點地、有針對性地去讀，冗余無效信息可以略讀甚至不讀。在閱讀時要特殊留意文中以黑體、大寫、下畫線等方式加以提示的文字，因為這很有可能是文章的核心或至少是一部分內(nèi)容的概括。如第一小題，根據(jù)小標(biāo)題 The Castle Shop 下第二段 At Arundel Castle we pride ourselves on supporting local suppliers and actively encourage environmentally friendly products 可知，城堡商店以支持本地供應(yīng)商為榮，積極鼓勵環(huán)保產(chǎn)品。由此可知，在城堡商店可以購買到環(huán)保產(chǎn)品。故選D。
