Working for Fun and Profit
1.It's a sunny weekend morning. You decide to take a walk.Everything is quite except for a.group of people and some colorful objects you see about three blocks away.As you get closer,you notice that there are many things lying on the ground:some National Geographic magazines,a collection of toy trucks,some weight lifting equipment,two bicycles,and a set of chairs.People are parking cars,getting out,and looking over the objects in the driveway.You consider taking a detour around the group of people,but you are curious.Was there an accident?Is this a party?No!Welcome to your first garage sale!
2.On the same morning,a friend of yours takes a drive.He makes a mistake at an intersection and takes a wrong turn.He passes a large parking lot full of people,not cars.He sees many multicolored objects.At first he thinks it's an art show. Then he decides it's a fair. He parks his car and gets out to explore.He's just arrived at his first flea market.
3.Garage sales and flea market are popular in the United States.Many Americans find that they can make a little extra money and have fun being"weekend entrepreneurs”.They take outgrown clothing,appliances,toys,and books and resell them at garage sales and flea markets.
4.Flea markets are generally open spaces in or out of town that become busy sales centers on weekends.People who want to sell new or used clothing,tools,furniture,or books rent a space for the day for a small amount of money and sell their merchandise.Shoppers from near and far come to get good buys on imported watches,house plants,magazines,microscopes,children's clothes,and handmade goods such as embroidered pillowcases or jewelry.Some shoppers even buy and sell antiques.They search flea markets for special treasures that they can resell in their own stores for lots of money.
5.Garage sales are smaller than flea markets,and the merchandise consists mainly of household items.Dishes,pots and pans,coat hangers,and children's clothing are inexpensive and common at garage sales. People frequently have garage sales before they move and on weekends when the weather is nice.Sometimes several families gather their unwanted household goods and sell them together. More merchandise attracts more customers.
6.Cleaning,organizing,pricing,and moving merchandise is hard work,but the popularity of flea market and garage sales proves that many Americans work for fun!

Passage Four
"Cool" is a word with many meanings. Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit cold. As the world has changed, the word has had many different meanings.
"Cool" can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything. When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say, "It's cool. ' You may think, "He's so cool," when you see your favorite football player.
We all maximize (扩大) the meaning of "cool". You can use it instead of many words such as "new" or "surprising". Here's an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. A teacher asked her students to write about the waterfall (瀑布) they had visited. On one student's paper was just the one sentence, "It's so cool." Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt.
But the story also shows a scarcity of words. Without "cool", some people have no words to show the same meaning. So it is quite important to keep some credibility (可信性). Can you think of many other words that make your life as colorful as the word "cool"? I can. And I think they are also very cool.
46. We know that the word "cool" has had______.
A. only one meaning
B. no meanings
C. the same meaning
D. many different meanings
正确答案：D46．答案为D 从短文第一段As the world has changed，the word has had many different meanings可知cool有很多不同的意思，D为正确选项。

第三篇
No one knows exactly how many disabled people there are in the world,but estimates suggest the figure is over 450 million.The number of disabled people in India alone is probably more than double the total population of Canada.
In the United Kingdom,about one in ten people have some disability. Disability is not just something that happens to other people.As we get older,many of us will become less mobile,hard of hearing or have failing eyesight.
Disablement can take many forms and happen at any time of life.Some people are born with disabilities.Many others become disabled as they get older. There are many progressive disabling diseases.The longer time goes on,the worse they become.Some people are disabled in accidents. Many others may have disability in the form of a mental illness.All are affected by people's attitude towards them.
Disabled people face many physical barriers.Next time you go shopping or to work or visit friends,imagine what would you do if you could not get up steps,or on to buses and trains?What would you do if you could not see where you were going or could not hear the traffic?But there are other barriers:prejudice（偏见）can be even harder to break down and ignorance represents by far the greatest barrier of all.It is almost impossible for the able-bodied to fully understand what the disabled go through,so it is important to draw attention to these barriers and show that it is the individual person and their ability,not their disability,which counts.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A:There are about 10 percent disabled persons in the UK.
B:The whole society should pay more attention to the barriers faced by the disabled people.
C:Even the able-bodied may lose some of their body functions when they get older.
D:Disabled people are facing two barriers:physical barriers and prejudice.答案：D解析：第一段第一句是该段的主题句。" No one knows exactly how many disabled people there are in the world , but estimates suggest the figure is over 450 million.”说明残疾人数量很多。
第四段第一句和第四句是该段主题句。" Disabled people face many physical barriers."',But there are other barriers:prejudice can be even harder to break down and ignorance represents by far the greatest barrier of all.”该段从实际困难和精神歧视两方面说明残疾人面临的障碍。
文章最后一句："...it is the individual person and their ability, not their disa-bility ,which counts.”大意是“······真正重要的是残疾人的独立人格及其能力，而不是其身体上的残疾。”
选项A、C都出现在第二段中。B是文章所呼吁的。文章最后一段说 "prejudice（偏见）can be even harder to break down and ignorance represents by far the greatest barrier of all"。残疾人所面临的障碍除了身体残疾外，还有人们的偏见和被人们忽视。所以选项D与原文不相符。
主旨题。文章首先叙述残疾人之多和各种残疾，进而从身体和精神两方面阐述残疾人面临的障碍，并指出精神方面的障碍是最难被打破的。因此，可以推论出作者告诫我们应该正确对待残疾人。 -

I don't think there is anything wrong with your blood.______(46).If you don't sleep for hours during the early part of the evening,you would be more ready to sleep at bedtime.If you didn't nap after dinner,you would not want to stay up so late,and you would not feel the need to take a sleeping pill.______(47).This helps account for the fact that you feel tired all day.You should get out of the habit of sleeping during the evening. Right after your evening meal,engage in some sort of physical activity一a sport such as bowling,perhaps.______(48).Then go to bed at your usual time or a little earlier,and you should be able to get a good night's rest without taking a pill.
If you can get into the habit of spending your evenings this way,I am sure you will feel less tired during the day.______(49).If so,get up and watch television or do some jobs around your house until you feel sleepy.If you fall asleep and then wake up a few hours later,get up but do not take a sleeping pill.Read a while or listen to the radio,and make yourself a few hours' sleep that night.You will feel better in the morning than you usually feel after taking a pill.______ (50).
The most important thing is to avoid taking that nap right after dinner and avoid taking pills.________（50）
A:The key to your problem is that long nap after dinner
B:Or get together with friends for an evening of cards and conversation
C:At first it may be hard for you to go to sleep without taking a pill
D:The next night you will be ready to sleep at an earlier hour
E:Having difficulty sleeping is a common problem shared by many people
F: The pill is still working in your system when you get up in the morning答案：D解析：本题考查的是对上下文之间意义关系的理解和对文章细节的把握。上一句说到“我认为你的血液没有任何问题”，那么接下来就该说明实际是什么问题，而空格的下一句说“如果在晚上睡觉前你不小憩这几个小时，在晚上该睡觉时你应该很快入眠的”。因此 A与上下文联系最紧密。
本题考查的是对上下文之间意义关系的理解和时文章细节的把握。空格的下一句是服安眠药后“导致你一天都感到困乏”，因此这里应该是解释出现这个现象的原因，因此F最符合上下文内容。
本题考查的是对上下文之间意义关系的理解和对文章细节的把握。上一句说到“也许应该在晚饭后做些体力活动，比如打保龄球”，而空格后内容是“然后按时或者稍微提前睡觉，你就会不需要安眠药而睡个好觉”，因此B与上下文内容最符合。
本题考查的是对上下文之间意义关系的理解和对文章细节的把握。空格后内容是“如果这样的话，你可以起床看电视或在房子周围做些运动，一直到你有睡意”，因此这里的内容应是不服用安眠药后的不适应感。因此C最符合此内容。
本题考查的是对上下文之间意义关系的理解。前面说到前一晚由于没有服安眠药没有睡好，因此这里应是“第二天晚上你要准备早睡一个小时”。因此D与此内容最符合。 -

6.Cleaning,organizing,pricing,and moving merchandise is hard work,but the popularity of flea market and garage sales proves that many Americans work for fun!People in the US usually hold a garage sale to sell things that they don't need.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned答案：A解析：本题给出的信息是正确的。根据题目中的提到的U.S.，使用专有名词定位法，定位到文章第三段：" Garage sales and flea market are popular in the United States.Many Americans find that they can make a little extra money and have fun being 'weekend entrepreneurs'."They take outgrown clothing,appliances,toys,and books and resell them at garage sales and flea markets.”宅前出售和跳蚤市场在美国十分流行。许多美国人发现当“周末企业家”既能赚点外快又能给他们带来乐趣。他们把穿不下的儿童服装、家用器具、玩具和书籍拿到宅前出售或跳蚤市场上重新出售。这与本题所描述的“美国人经常进行宅前出售，卖掉自己不需要的东西”相符，所以选A。
本题给出的信息是错误的。选择题目中关键词popular作信息定位，依旧定位到文章第三段，重点在第二句话：" Many Americans find that they can make a little extra money and have fun being ' weekend entrepreneurs'.”许多美国人发现当“周末企业家’，既能赚点外快又能给他们带来乐趣。这句话解释了上一句提到的跳蚤市场和宅前出售受美国人欢迎的原因。这与本题所描述的“跳蚤市场和宅前出售受美国人欢迎的原因是它们能清除一些不需要的东西”相悖，所以选B。
本题给出的信息是错误的。本题题干为：“跳蚤市场通常在繁忙的销售中，心开办”，而在第四段第一句作者提到：" Flea markets are generally open spaces in or out of town that become busy sales centers on weekends.”跳蚤市场通常设在城里或郊外的空地上，一到周末这就变成了忙碌的销售中心。题目和文章内容相悖，所以选B0
文章没有谈到这方面的信息。文章在第四段的确提到了很多物品被拿来买卖，但是并没有具体提到发卡。本题所描述的“各种东西，甚至是发卡，都被人们拿到跳蚤市场上来卖”超出了文章所述范围，所以选C。
本题给出的信息是正确的。第四段最后两句提到：" Some shoppers even buy and sell antiques .They search flea markets for special treasures that they can resell in their own stores for lots of money.”有的购物者还买卖古董。他们在跳蚤市场上搜罗一些特别的珍品，然后在自己的商店里用高价再次卖出。所以，题干所说的“有些时候，在跳蚤市场上可以买到物美价廉的东西”是正确的，所以选A。
本题给出的信息是错误的。题干的意思是：“人们通常在搬走以后进行宅前出售。”原文中与之相关的信息出现在第五段第三句“People frequently have garage sales before they move and on weekends when the weather is nice.”人们常常在搬家之前和天气晴朗的周末举办宅前出售。而这句恰恰证明了题干的说法是错误的，所以选B。
本题给出的信息是错误的。题干的意思是：“要移动货物很容易。”在原文最后一段的第一句话中，作者提到：" moving merchandise is hard work"搬运货物很累。这也印证了题干的说法是错误的，所以选B。 -

Internet shopping is a new way of shopping. Nowadays,you can shop for just about anything from your armchair. All you need is a computer which is linked to the Internet. Shopping on the Internet is becoming increasingly popular. In the United States,people spent over U.S. $2.5 billion on Internet shopping in 1998.This figure is expected to reach U.S.$11 billion by the year 2004.
People can shop for a variety of products on the Internet.Physical products include items such as books,CDs,clothes and foods.These types of products are the most common purchases through the Internet.You can also buy information products such as on-line news or magazine stories,or you can download computer software through the Internet.Services such as booking airline tickets,reser-ving hotels or renting cars are also available on the Internet.You can also go shopping on the Inter-net for entertainment services and take part in on-line games.
Internet shopping offers a number of benefits for the shopper. The most important advantage is convenience.You can shop whenever you like as the on-line shops are open 24 hours a day and you don't have to queue with other shoppers at the check-out counters.Secondly,it is easy to find what you are looking for on the Internet.Even out-of-print books may be ordered on line.Finally,it is often cheaper to buy goods through the Internet,and you can tell the shop exactly what you want.
The main disadvantage of Internet shopping is that you cannot actually see the products you are buying or check their quality.Also,many people enjoy shopping in the city and miss the opportunity to talk to friends.Some people are worried about paying for goods using credit cards,so Internet companies are now finding ways to make on-line payment safe.
Internet shopping is sure to become more and more popular in the years ahead.It promises to change the way we buy all kinds of things一from tonight's dinner to a new car.The disadvantages of Internet shopping include all of the following EXCEPT that________.
A:customs cannot actually see the products they are buying
B:customs cannot check the product's quantity they are buying
C:many people enjoying shopping in the city miss the opportunity to talk to friends
D:some people are worried about paying for goods using credit cards答案：B解析：本题为细节题。文章第二段阐述了网上购物的种类，不仅可以买到诸如书、CD、衣服等物质产品，还可以买到在线新闻、杂志、软件等信息产品，甚至还有娱乐服务和网络游戏等。其中提到："You can also buy information products such as on-line news or magazine stones,or you can download computer software through the Internet.”即“on-line news and maga-zine stories”属于“information products"，所以选D。 A项文章未提及；目前网上已提供在线新闻和杂志故事，排除B项；这些新闻杂志是需要购买的，并不能免费下载，排除C项。
本题为细节题。第三段第一、二句话："Internet shopping offers a number of benefits for the shopper.The most important advantage is convenience.”即最大的优势是便利。选项A和B虽然也是网上购物的好处，但不是最重要的；选项C不是网上购物的好处之一，而是网上购物的一个弊端，即不能检查商品的质量。
本题为细节题。第四段提到了网上购物的主要缺点，包括：不能看到实物并检查质量，排除A;不能享受购物的乐趣，排除C;使用信用卡的不安全性，排除D。选项B 意为“顾客不能检查所购商品的数量”，而文中提到的是不能检查商品的质量，所以符合题意。
本题为主旨题。文章中作者围绕网络购物，阐述了网上购物的种类及其优缺点，并对其未来进行展望。所以正确答案应该是D。选项B、C都只是文章的一个方面；选项A过于宽泛。
本题为态度题。文章最后一段说：" Internet shopping is sure to become more and more popular in the years ahead.It promises to change the way we buy all kinds of things一from tonight's dinner to a new car.”可以看出，作者对网上购物的未来持乐观态度（optimistic )。 negative（消极的）、concerned（关心的）、critical（批评的）都与文章内容不符。 -

第12题：
问答题In some countries young people are encouraged to work or travel for a year between finishing high school and starting university studies. Read the article carefully and write your response in about 300 words, m which you should: 1. summarize briefly the opinions in the article: 2. give your comment. Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks. A gap year is a year off that you can take between finishing high school and starting university. Otherwise known as deferring your studies, it can be a good alternative to starting university if you’re feeling exhausted or you’re just not sure what you want to do. Perhaps you want to travel, earn some money by working full-time or get some work experience in your field of interest. There’s a lot to weigh up when deciding whether to take a gap year. Some common masons to take a gap year include: Broaden your view of the world Whether you simply want to see and experience another country, or gain an appreciation and awareness of global issues, taking a defer year can be a great way to immerse yourself in another country. Gain relevant work experience and key skills Working during your defer year means you’ll gain plenty of experience, skills and knowledge, which (especially if in a relevant field) can be highly valuable when applying for jobs later on. Earn some money Following on from that, a working year off can also be a great way to earn some extra money before starting university. You might not earn enough to pay your entire university costs, but you could perhaps cover expenses such as accommodation, text books, travel or even the first semester/ term of your course fees. Develop useful contacts During your defer year, you’ll likely meet a range of different people from all walks of life. This could include people you can call on for job opportunities and references, or simply some international friends on whose sofas you can crash on if you get the chance to visit their home country later. Challenge yourself Many students take the year to tackle challenges they’ve set for themselves, step out of their comfort zone, face their fears and enjoy new experiences. You might decide to go trekking through a jungle, climb a mountain for charity, volunteer in a developing country, or go scuba diving, skiing or snowboarding. Improve and gain new life skills This can be anything from learning and becoming fluent in a foreign language, becoming an instructor in an adventure sport, boosting your IT skills or learning how to teach English as a foreign language. While there are many benefits to taking a gap year, it’s worth considering that there are also risks involved. Some of the disadvantages of a gap year you might encounter include: You’ll be a year behind everyone who graduated high school/ secondary school with you, if they didn’t take a year off themselves. It can cost a lot of money to organize and realize. You may get injured or sick during your travels—if you need prescription medication, make sure to check whether your medication is legal and available in your destination country. You might find your break too interesting/ distracting, and end up not wanting to go back into formal education. Your study skills may have diminished, making it harder for you to adjust to life in education. This can be particularly true for mathematics or physics students, or any course that involves complex theoretical processes and techniques that may not be used outside of the classroom. You may simply find that you didn’t get the experience you were hoping for.正确答案：
【参考范文】
An increasing number of students, rich or poor, would like to spend a year traveling or working in other countries before they go to universities, which stems from a variety of reasons. Some of them just hope that by experiencing different things, they can find what their ambitions truly are. After all, it is an unwise decision to pass directly from high school to university. Some want to be independent by earning extra money. As for me, no matter what you choose, you have to make sure that you are heading to your goals.
Taking a year off gives you a good chance to broaden your horizons, to visit different countries and to meet different people. Perhaps, you can get inspirations from others’ lifestyle. Part-time job can make you economically independent for a period of time, as well as giving you relevant work experience and an advantage in terms of coping with the challenges of student life.
Nevertheless, there are definitely dangers in that process you have to face. With little social experience, young students may slip into some bad habits and end up never getting your college degree. Don’t be penny wise and pound foolish. After all, academic qualifications are so important in this modern world. Secondly, you may get injured in a particular adventure activity. Besides, it takes a lot of money to take a gap year and you maybe cannot make ends meet. What’s more, you will be a year behind everyone who graduated high school/ secondary school with you, if they didn’t take a year off themselves.
In short, you should think thoroughly before making any significant decision. Stepping out comfort zone is good, but master the skills to control your life is better.解析： 暂无解析 -

第14题：
C
You speak, write a letter, make a telephone. Your words carry a message. People communicate with words. Do you think you can communicate without words? A smile on your face shows you are happy or friendly. Tears in your eyes tell others that you are sad.
When you put up your hands in class, the teacher knows you want to say something or ask questions. You shake your head, and people know you are saying "No". You nod and people know you are saying "Yes". Other things can also carry messages. For example, a sign at the bus helps you to know which bus to take. A sign on the door helps you where to go in or out. Have you ever thought that there are a lot of signs around you and that you receive messages from them all the time? People can communicate in many other ways. An artist can use his drawing to tell beautiful mountains, about the blue sea and many other things. Books are written to tell about all the wonderful things in the world and also about people and their ideas. Books, magazines, TV, radio and films all help us communicate with others. They can help us to know what is going on in the world and what other people are thinking about.
61. People communicate ________.
A.with words only B.in many different ways
C.in letters and drawings D.with smiles, tears and hands
正确答案：B

Passage Three
No one knows exactly how many disabled (残废的) people there are in the world, but estimates suggest the figure is over 450 million. The number of disabled people in India alone is probably more than double the total population of Canada.
In the United Kingdom, about one in ten people have some disability. Disability is not just something that happens to other people. As we get older, many of us will become less mobile (可动的), hard of hearing or have failing eyesight.
Disablement can take many forms and occur at any time of life. Some people are born with disabilities. Many others become disabled as they get older. There are many progressive disabling diseases. The longer time goes on, the worse they become. Some people are disabled in accidents. Many others may have a period of disability in the form. of a mental illness. All are affected by people's attitude towards them.
Disabled people face many physical barriers. Next time you go shopping or to work or visit friends, imagine how you would manage if you could not get up steps, or on to buses and trains. How would you cope if you could not see where you were going or could not hear the traffic? But there are other barriers: prejudice can be even harder to break down and ignorance inevitably represents by far the greatest barrier of all. It is almost impossible for the able-bodied to fully appreciate what the severely disabled go through, so it is important to draw attention to these barriers and show that it is the individual person and their ability, not their disability, which counts.
41. The first paragraph points out that ______.
A. it is possible to get an exact figure of the world's disabled people
B. there are many disabled people in the world
C. the number of disabled people in India is the greatest
D. India has not much more disabled people than Canada
正确答案：B41．答案为B。根据第一段中心思想，得出该项选择。选项A、C和D与原文不符。

A:barriers
B:disabled
C:disability
D:prejudice答案：A解析：第一段第一句是该段的主题句。" No one knows exactly how many disabled people there are in the world , but estimates suggest the figure is over 450 million.”说明残疾人数量很多。
第四段第一句和第四句是该段主题句。" Disabled people face many physical barriers."',But there are other barriers:prejudice can be even harder to break down and ignorance represents by far the greatest barrier of all.”该段从实际困难和精神歧视两方面说明残疾人面临的障碍。
文章最后一句："...it is the individual person and their ability, not their disa-bility ,which counts.”大意是“······真正重要的是残疾人的独立人格及其能力，而不是其身体上的残疾。”
选项A、C都出现在第二段中。B是文章所呼吁的。文章最后一段说 "prejudice（偏见）can be even harder to break down and ignorance represents by far the greatest barrier of all"。残疾人所面临的障碍除了身体残疾外，还有人们的偏见和被人们忽视。所以选项D与原文不相符。
主旨题。文章首先叙述残疾人之多和各种残疾，进而从身体和精神两方面阐述残疾人面临的障碍，并指出精神方面的障碍是最难被打破的。因此，可以推论出作者告诫我们应该正确对待残疾人。 -

2.On the same morning,a friend of yours takes a drive.He makes a mistake at an intersection and takes a wrong turn.He passes a large parking lot full of people,not cars.He sees many multicolored objects.At first he thinks it's an art show. Then he decides it's a fair. He parks his car and gets out to explore.He's just arrived at his first flea market.
3.Garage sales and flea market are popular in the United States.Many Americans find that they can make a little extra money and have fun being"weekend entrepreneurs”.They take outgrown clothing,appliances,toys,and books and resell them at garage sales and flea markets.
4.Flea markets are generally open spaces in or out of town that become busy sales centers on weekends.People who want to sell new or used clothing,tools,furniture,or books rent a space for the day for a small amount of money and sell their merchandise.Shoppers from near and far come to get good buys on imported watches,house plants,magazines,microscopes,children's clothes,and handmade goods such as embroidered pillowcases or jewelry.Some shoppers even buy and sell antiques.They search flea markets for special treasures that they can resell in their own stores for lots of money.

More merchandise attracts more customers.
6.Cleaning,organizing,pricing,and moving merchandise is hard work,but the popularity of flea market and garage sales proves that many Americans work for fun!Sometimes one can even buy something really good and cheap in a flea market.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned答案：A解析：本题给出的信息是正确的。根据题目中的提到的U.S.，使用专有名词定位法，定位到文章第三段：" Garage sales and flea market are popular in the United States.Many Americans find that they can make a little extra money and have fun being 'weekend entrepreneurs'."They take outgrown clothing,appliances,toys,and books and resell them at garage sales and flea markets.”宅前出售和跳蚤市场在美国十分流行。许多美国人发现当“周末企业家”既能赚点外快又能给他们带来乐趣。他们把穿不下的儿童服装、家用器具、玩具和书籍拿到宅前出售或跳蚤市场上重新出售。这与本题所描述的“美国人经常进行宅前出售，卖掉自己不需要的东西”相符，所以选A。
本题给出的信息是错误的。选择题目中关键词popular作信息定位，依旧定位到文章第三段，重点在第二句话：" Many Americans find that they can make a little extra money and have fun being ' weekend entrepreneurs'.”许多美国人发现当“周末企业家’，既能赚点外快又能给他们带来乐趣。这句话解释了上一句提到的跳蚤市场和宅前出售受美国人欢迎的原因。这与本题所描述的“跳蚤市场和宅前出售受美国人欢迎的原因是它们能清除一些不需要的东西”相悖，所以选B。
本题给出的信息是错误的。本题题干为：“跳蚤市场通常在繁忙的销售中，心开办”，而在第四段第一句作者提到：" Flea markets are generally open spaces in or out of town that become busy sales centers on weekends.”跳蚤市场通常设在城里或郊外的空地上，一到周末这就变成了忙碌的销售中心。题目和文章内容相悖，所以选B0
文章没有谈到这方面的信息。文章在第四段的确提到了很多物品被拿来买卖，但是并没有具体提到发卡。本题所描述的“各种东西，甚至是发卡，都被人们拿到跳蚤市场上来卖”超出了文章所述范围，所以选C。
本题给出的信息是正确的。第四段最后两句提到：" Some shoppers even buy and sell antiques .They search flea markets for special treasures that they can resell in their own stores for lots of money.”有的购物者还买卖古董。他们在跳蚤市场上搜罗一些特别的珍品，然后在自己的商店里用高价再次卖出。所以，题干所说的“有些时候，在跳蚤市场上可以买到物美价廉的东西”是正确的，所以选A。
本题给出的信息是错误的。题干的意思是：“人们通常在搬走以后进行宅前出售。”原文中与之相关的信息出现在第五段第三句“People frequently have garage sales before they move and on weekends when the weather is nice.”人们常常在搬家之前和天气晴朗的周末举办宅前出售。而这句恰恰证明了题干的说法是错误的，所以选B。
本题给出的信息是错误的。题干的意思是：“要移动货物很容易。”在原文最后一段的第一句话中，作者提到：" moving merchandise is hard work"搬运货物很累。这也印证了题干的说法是错误的，所以选B。 -

文章没有谈到这方面的信息。文章在第四段的确提到了很多物品被拿来买卖，但是并没有具体提到发卡。本题所描述的“各种东西，甚至是发卡，都被人们拿到跳蚤市场上来卖”超出了文章所述范围，所以选C。
本题给出的信息是正确的。第四段最后两句提到：" Some shoppers even buy and sell antiques .They search flea markets for special treasures that they can resell in their own stores for lots of money.”有的购物者还买卖古董。他们在跳蚤市场上搜罗一些特别的珍品，然后在自己的商店里用高价再次卖出。所以，题干所说的“有些时候，在跳蚤市场上可以买到物美价廉的东西”是正确的，所以选A。
本题给出的信息是错误的。题干的意思是：“人们通常在搬走以后进行宅前出售。”原文中与之相关的信息出现在第五段第三句“People frequently have garage sales before they move and on weekends when the weather is nice.”人们常常在搬家之前和天气晴朗的周末举办宅前出售。而这句恰恰证明了题干的说法是错误的，所以选B。
本题给出的信息是错误的。题干的意思是：“要移动货物很容易。”在原文最后一段的第一句话中，作者提到：" moving merchandise is hard work"搬运货物很累。这也印证了题干的说法是错误的，所以选B。 -
