10 华西考博2013年阅读第三篇

原文其中一段:She smiled, more with her eyes than with her lips. She was pleased by the few words i was able to say in her language, although they were mostly numbers, and she saw that I understood something about the soft playfulness of bargaining. We shook our heads in disagreement over the price; then, immediately, we made another offer and then another shake of the head. She was so pleased that unexpectedly, she accepted the last offer I made. But it was too soon. The price was too low. She was being too generous and wouldn’t make enough money. I moved quickly and picked up two more skirts and paid for all three at the price set; that way i was able to pay her three times as much before she had a chance to lower the price for the larger purchase. She smiled openly then, and, for the first time in months, my spirit lifted. I almost felt happy. The feeling stayed with me while she wrapped the skirts in a newspaper and handed them to me. When I left, though, the feeling left, too. It was as though it stayed behind in marketplace. I left tears in my throat. I wanted to cry. I didn’t,of course. I have learned to defend myself against what is hard; without knowing, I have also learned to defend myself against what is soft and what should be easy.

We shook our heads in disagreement over the price; then, immediately, we made another offer and then another shake of the head. 

She was so pleased that unexpectedly, she accepted the last offer I made. 

= 题干, 答案在附近


But it was too soon. The price was too low. 

She was being too generous and wouldn’t make enough money.

=作者说“自己”脑子里所想的事,与她无关


I moved quickly and picked up two more skirts and paid for all three at the price set; that way i was able to pay her three times as much before she had a chance to lower the price for the larger purchase. 

= 与对方想法无关,自己“捡便宜”;


She smiled openly then, and, for the first time in months, my spirit lifted. 

这句接近是主题句

“She”的慷慨(微笑、欢乐与低价)--->让人感染


I almost felt happy. The feeling stayed with me while she wrapped the skirts in a newspaper and handed them to me. When I left, though, the feeling left, too. It was as though it stayed behind in marketplace. I left tears in my throat. I wanted to cry. I didn’t,of course. I have learned to defend myself against what is hard; without knowing, I have also learned to defend myself against what is soft and what should be easy. 这种文章最后一般都是这样:要学习"雷锋"好榜样

问题:

The writer assumed that the woman accepted the last offer mainly because woman

A. thought that the last offer was reasonable

接近B的含义,仍然属于格调低下的猥琐句

关键是文章本身没说,没有这种信息。


B. thought she could still make much money

作者并不知道对方能否赚钱,此句与文章主题相违背,属于猥琐句

关键是文章本身没说,没有这种信息。


C. was glad that the writer knew their way of bargaining  (√)

做这种题,不要想多了,只要是王八对眼,对上了就对了

glad------smile/pleased

knew their way of bargaining ----- she saw that I understood something about the soft playfulness of bargaining. 


D. was tired of bargaining with the writer any more

这句就算了,直接叉掉

C。glad与文中多次出现的pleased对应,She was pleased by the few words i was able to say in her language, although they were mostly numbers, and she saw that I understood something about the soft playfulness of bargaining.   She was so pleased that unexpectedly, she accepted the last offer I made.

题目问的是作者认为女人接受最后一次还价的主要原因是什么。

AB选项一个意思,其实可以直接排除,毕竟是单选题;再者从文中The price was too low. She was being too generous and wouldn’t make enough money.可以看出,作者是觉得开的价太低了,女人赚不到什么钱的,跟AB选项描述不符。

D选项是说女人烦了,不想继续跟作者还价了。这个态度描述是有些负面消极的,文中没有可以佐证的相关描述。而且违背作者多次对女人态度的正面描述。可以排除。

A: 正确。卖者认为有利可图或者价格认可,就愿意卖了。但买的人内心不安,认为还价有点过分了。

B: 错误,错在much上,much money意思是a large amount of money,卖的人不会认为出售三件衣服就赚大发了。

C: 错误。如果因为knew the way of bargaining就成交,那么为什么第1,第2次不成交?而且违反逻辑啊。

D: 根本不是

答案是C。

你可以这么理解:作者肯定不太会讲老挝语言,前两次还价就是连比划带简单的说几句老挝语言让卖裙子的妇女感到这个人懂点自己国家的风俗,觉得有点意思。再经过第三次讨价还价,作者的砍价方式更进一步地让妇女感到有意思,认为这个外国人(也就是作者)挺逗的,干脆成交。

以上仅供参考。

正确答案A


1) A 和 B 的意思并不一样。我因为价格合适接受你的报价,和仍然有利可图而接受你的报价是两回事。比如你平时每月5000元租我的门面,但现在因为疫情的原因,你要求我免租一、两个月,或者减少租金,这个要求是reasonable的,但并不意味着我仍然有利。所以AB的意思是有区别。


而且原文“She was being too generous and wouldn’t make enough money.”绿色+红色字体相结合,已经表明了writer的看法:writer已经assume女的赚不了什么钱,那么女的接受writer的报价,肯定不是单纯从赚钱的角度考虑了,所以已经可以排除B了。


2)C也是不符合常理的,哪有因为对方懂得一些讨教还价的“套路”,你就不顾自己的成本而接收对方的报价?无利不早起的道理,大家应该懂得。


3)其实,报价之所以能被卖家接受,绝对是因为卖家觉得这个价格是reasonable的,而价格是否reasonable,既可以与钱相关(比如成本)--- 有钱可赚,也可以与钱无关(比如交易成本)-- 也许交易本身赚不了钱,但能赚其他方面。


所以正确答案为A。其实退一步细想:A>or = B+C+D
