Text l With polished stone floors and a plate-glass roof,a shining multi-storey shopping mall has just opened beside a motorway north of Paris.Named Qwartz,and costing 300m,it houses 165 shops and what developers call"eating concepts".Two other American-style shopping malls opened in the greater Paris region last year,and a third,So Ouest,in 2012.A country that prides iiself on fashion designer boutiques and aflisanal shops seernq to be turning into one of mall rats.Partly ihis is just catching up.Until recently,strict planning rules stopped big out of-town shopping centres around the French capilal.Most malls that existed,such as V61izy 2 or Rosny 2,dated from the 1970s,when rive new towns were built in the Paris suburbs.But a new relaxed attitude has now let more modem projects go ahead.It also points to two features of French society that escape the gaze of historic Paris.One is most shoppers'suburban way of life.Only 2.2m people live in the capital itself.Yet the greater Paris region,excluding the city,counts over four times more inhabitanLs,many in small towns and car dependent suburbs.The new malls,ringed by car parks,are handy,even aUuring.Fully 62%of the French told one poll that malls were cheir favourite places to shop,ahead of the high street or traditiOPal department stores.The other trend is the global taste of consumers.Besides a huge French hypermarket,Qwartz's big puU is Primark,an Irish cheap-fashion retailer,and Marks&Spencer,a British chain.Jusc down the road,So Ouest boasts Hollister,an American surfwear brand,Starbucks,an American coffee house,and foreign fashion chains such as H&M ancl Zara.In today's temples of consumption,global is a La mode.This is not quite the France favoured by Amaud Montebourg,the industry minister and architect of a"Made in France"campaign.He is now trying to keep Amencan hands off Alstom,the French maker of TCV fast trains.He once posed cheerfully for a magazine,dressed in a striped Breton top and holding a Moulinex food-blender.Yet even French brands are not always home-made,as Benjamin Carle,a reporter,discovered filming a television documeniary about his efforts to live for a year using only products made in France.The result was comic-and sobering.Not only was it impossible to find some items,including a fridge and coffee.Mr Carle initially had to empty his flat of anyLhing that did not meet the test of 50%of its value being made in France.Out went the bicycle,computer,guitar,most of the furnilure,beer.clothes,toothbrush and more.The share of his stuff that qualified as French-made?Just 4.5%.We can conclude from the last paragraph that______A.French brands may be made in other countriesB.a number of French products are actually fakeC.the quality of French products is questionableD.a large part of French brands are made at home
选项
A.French brands may be made in other countries
B.a number of French products are actually fake
C.the quality of French products is questionable
D.a large part of French brands are made at home
答案
A
解析
推理题。定位到最后一段。选项[A]French brands may be made in other countries“法国品牌可能由外国制造”;该项对应该段首句:Yet even French brands are not always home-made.“然而即使是法国品牌也不都是在国内制造的。”显然,[A]项与原文是同义替换。[B]a number of French products are actually fake“许多法国产品实际上是假货”;该项无法在文中找到对应信息,属于无中生有,故排除。[C]the quality of French producIs is questionable“法国产品质量令人质疑”;该项同样是无中生有,可以排除。[D]a large part of French brands are made at home“很大一部分法国品牌在本土制造”;该段首句是说:Yet even French brands are not always home-made.原文说的是not always home-made“不都是国内制造”,该项变成了a large part“少量,小部分”,显然与原文矛盾,故该项可以排除。同时,最后一段最后一句指出,他的东西中,符合法国制造的定义的,只有4.5%.说明法国制造的东西少。综上,本题答案为[A]。
