12．I needed to buy a digital camera，one that was simply good at taking good snaps（快照），maybe sometimes for magazines．Being the careful type，I fancied a reliable brand（品牌）．So I went on the net，spent 15 minutes reading product reviews on good websites，wrote down the names of three top recommendations（推薦） and headed for my nearest big friendly camera store．There in the cupboard was one of the cameras on my list．And it was on special offer．Oh joy．I pointed at it and asked an assistant，"Can I have one of those？"He looked upset．"Do you want to try it first？"he said．It didn't quite sound like a question．"Do I need to？"I replied，"there's anything wrong with it？"This made him look a bit angry and I started to feel bad．‘‘No，no．But you should try it，''he said encouragingly，"compare it with the others．"
I looked across at the others：shelves of similar cameras placed along the wall，offering all kinds of just a little different prices and discounts（折扣），with each company selling a type of models based around the same basic box．With so many models to choose from，it seemed that I would have to spend hours weighing X against Y，always trying to take Z and possibly H into consideration at the same time．But when I had finished，I would still have only the same two certainties that I had entered the store with：first，soon after I carried my new camera out of the shop，it would be worth half what I paid for it； and second，my wonderful camera would very quickly be replaced by a new model．
But something in the human soul says in a low voice that you can beat these traps by making the right choice，the clever choice，the wise choice．In the end，I agreed to try the model I had chosen．The assistant seemed a sincere man．So I let him take out my chosen camera from the cupboard，show how it took excellent pictures of my fellow shoppers…and when he started to introduce the special characters，I stopped him and asked whether I needed to buy a carry-case and a memory card as well．
Why do we think that new choices still offer us anything new？Perhaps it is because they offer an opportunity to avoid facing the fact that our real choices in this culture are far more limited than we would like to imagine．

分析 作者去商店買一款自己從網(wǎng)上看到的相機(jī)，有一款正好打折，作者要看一下，經(jīng)過(guò)再三思量，作者還是買了自己選中的那一款，他認(rèn)為買東西的時(shí)候，并不需要那么多的選擇，相信自己．
解答 67．B細(xì)節(jié)理解題．從短文中這句話"Compare it with the others"可知女售貨員堅(jiān)持讓作者把他選的與其他的比較一下，故選B
68．C語(yǔ)意猜測(cè)題．根據(jù)語(yǔ)境，從這句話"fist，soon after I carried my new camera out of the shop，it would be worth half what I paid for it； and second，my wonderful camera would very quickly be replaced by a new model．"中作者面臨兩個(gè)問(wèn)題，一是：買新款相機(jī)，它只有我預(yù)付款的一半價(jià)格；二：買款別的，但劃線部分意思是屬于第一種情況，相機(jī)價(jià)值很快下滑，故選C．
69．C結(jié)構(gòu)分析題．從短文倒數(shù)第二段描述可看出，作者決定買自己選擇的那一款，因?yàn)樗J(rèn)為自己選擇的就是最好的，故選C．
70．D分析歸納題．從短文的最后一段可看出，作者的觀點(diǎn)是，當(dāng)我們買東西的時(shí)候，并不需要那么多的選擇，所以作者決定買自己選擇的那一款，故選D．
點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文講述了作者去商店買一款自己從網(wǎng)上看到的相機(jī)，有一款正好打折，作者要看一下，經(jīng)過(guò)再三思量，作者還是買了自己選中的那一款，他認(rèn)為買東西的時(shí)候，并不需要那么多的選擇，相信自己．的一個(gè)故事，題目涉及多道細(xì)節(jié)理解題，做題時(shí)結(jié)合原文和題目有針對(duì)性的找出相關(guān)語(yǔ)句進(jìn)行仔細(xì)分析，結(jié)合選項(xiàng)選出正確答案．推理判斷題也是要在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上合理的分析才能得出正確答案，切忌胡亂猜測(cè)，一定要做到有理有據(jù)．
