答案與解析

【語篇解讀】本文是一篇說明文。文章說明了雜貨店排隊方式以及研究人員提出的蛇形

隊伍的新方式,并分析了各自的利弊。

36.A下文

“Itturnsout,it'sjustmathworkingagainstyou;chancesare,theotherlinereallyisfaste

r.”解釋了上文“Youchosewrong.”的原因，下文與空格處是因果關系,所以本空應該是對前

文選錯提出疑惑,故選A項。

37.G上文

^Grocerystorestrytohaveenoughemployeesatcheckouttogetalltheircustomersthroughwi

thminimumdelay.,,解釋了雜貨店之前的工作模式，下文

uAnysmallinterruption—apricecheck,achattycustomer—canhavedownstreameffects,ho

Idingupanentireline."描述了雜貨店的特殊情況,故本空應該填出現(xiàn)特殊情況的原因，故選

G項。

38.D根據(jù)上文

uIftherearethreelinesinthestore,delayswilIhappenrandomlyatdifferentregisters.”

并聯(lián)系下文"Soit'snotjustinyourmind:Anotherlineprobablyismovingfaster.可知，本

空說的是任何一個隊伍都有可能出現(xiàn)問題。你的隊伍跑得最快的概率只有三分之一,故選D項。

39.F根據(jù)上文的"Researchershaveagoodwaytodealwiththisproblem.”并結合下文可知，

空格中應該是與舊的結賬方案作比較,故選F項。

40.B根據(jù)下文

Ittakesmanyregisterstokeeponelinemovingquickly,andsomestorescanJtaffordthespa

ceormanpower.w說明了一個原因，由此可知，空格處提出了一個問題,所以選B項。

第三部分語言運用（共兩節(jié)，滿分30分）

第一節(jié)（共15小題;每小題1分,滿分15分）

閱讀下面短文，從短文后各題所給的A、B、C和D四個選項中，選出可以填入空白處的最

佳選項。
