参考答案

正确答案:B
【题干考查点】细节题。JohnMathews认为Smithson’s百货公司所面临的问题是:【原文定位句】定位段落第五段,定位句为“Thefactisthatunlesssheopensseveralmorestoresprettysoon,Smithson’sprofitswillstarttofa¨becauseturnoveroftheexistingstorewillinevitablystarttodecline.”即:除非她能够尽快地增开几个店铺,否则Smithson’s百货公司的利润将会下降,因为现有的店铺营业额将会不可避免地下降。【答案对应点】原文定位句中opensseveralmorestores对应选项B中expands;原文定位句中unless…Smithson’sprofitswillstarttofall对应选项B中profitswillonlycontinuetorise.【干扰项分析】选项A中moremoneyneedstobeinvestedinthepresentstore表示更多的资金需要投入到现有的店铺中,而原文中陈述的是moneyhadalreadybeeninvestedinrefurbishmentofthestore;选项C中therefurbishmentofthestoreisprovingunpopularwithcustomers表示店铺的装修不受顾客欢迎,而原文中陈述的是refurbishmentofthestoreandinfactthatledtotheboostinsales;选项D中shareholdersexpectaquickreturnontheirinvestments表示股东们想要得到快速的投资回报,在原文中没有提及。
