While much of the United States of America put Prohibition to rest 73 years ago, large parts of the South have remained strictly off-limits to alcohol sales.
But local and national business interests that stand to profit from the sale of alcohol, including real estate developers, grocery chains, restaurant groups and Wal-Mart, are combining their political and financial muscle to try to persuade hundreds of dry towns and counties to go wet. In the process, they are changing the face of the once staunchly prohibitionist Bible Belt.
Attempts by Wal-Mart and others to allow alcohol sales in other places that remain dry—415 counties in the South and in Kansas still prohibit such sales—are meeting fierce resistance from some church groups and religious leaders. They argue that returning to the days when liquor flowed will mean more family violence, underage drinking, drunken driving and a general moral decay in the community.
Wal-Mart, based in a dry county in Arkansas, forbids drinking at events held at corporate headquarters. But the giant retailer has made a push in the last year to sell more liquor, along with beer and wine, in its stores. [br] The phrase "giant retailer" in Paragraph 4 refers most possibly to ______ .
选项
A、Wal-Mart
B、a dry county
C、Arkansas
D、corporate headquarters
答案
A
解析
词义题型见第四段:Wal-Mart,based in a dry county in Arkansas,forbids drinking at events held at corporate headquarters.But the giant retailer has made a push in the last year to sell more liquor,along with beer and wine,in is stores.将这两句简化即:Wal-Mart forbids drinking....But he(the giant retailer)has made a push…;由此可见the giant retailer指的就是前面所说的Wal-Mart。(本句意为:沃尔玛的总部位于阿肯色州一个禁酒的郡,那里禁止在总部举行任何活动时饮酒。但这个零售业巨人去年却将在它的各家店铺销售更多的酒,当然还有啤酒、葡萄酒的活动推进了一步);因此A为答案。
