问题   On any weekend throughout the year one can spend hours browsing through neighborhood flea markets(跳蚤市场). These are very popular for those who are in search of bargains and who have a keen eye for picking through what others have discarded. They hunt and search for something they can reuse. Americans love secondhand merchandise (商品) which can be bought cheaply and restored to its original use. In many cases the condition and the quality are still good, though the style might be outdated.
   For some people searching through flea markets is a hobby which reaps rewards. They look for possible antiques among the items for sale or for old furniture which can. be restored with, a little care and used again. Many wise collectors often find rare items worth much more than their bargained price. Since prices are usually not fixed, if one is persistent a bargain can easily be struck. The owner may be selling a rare collectable and may not even be aware of its value. One of the great pleasures of shopping at such markets is the chance to bargain with the shop owner and settle for a price which one can afford and is willing to pay.
   Perhaps even more enjoyable than flea markets are the weekend outdoor garage sales which have now become very much a part of American culture. These are held usually in the spring and fall when the weather is still good. Usually a homeowner, having decided that he would like to clear his residence of accumulated items which are no longer useful to him, advertises in a local paper that he is holding a garage sale. More than likely the goods on display are in good condition and great buys can be found if one has the time and patience to search carefully. The home owner places items for sale on display along the driveway leading to his garage or on his front lawn and waits for people to look at what he has to sell. Old magazines, books, paintings, bicycles, ice-skates, items of clothing and electrical appliances of every sort appear on a regular basis. If the owner is in a position where he must sell his home or plans to move soon, then he may be forced to practically give things away at a price far below their true worth.
选项 A、They don’t like them because it’s a waste of time.
B、They suspect the goods sold there.
C、They don’t trust the sellers of the goods.
D、They like them very much especially for good bargains.
答案 D
解析 由题干中的flea markets定位到原文首段第一、二句On any weekend throughout...flea markets． These are very popular for those...have discarded．[精析] 题干问的是美国人对于跳蚤市场的态度，由原文定位句中关键词句very popular for可知D)“他们非常喜欢，尤其对那里物美价廉的东西”与之相符，故为正确答案。[排除干扰] A)“他们不喜欢，因为浪费时间”、B)“他们怀疑商品的质量”、C)“他们信不过那些商贩”显然都不符合原文意思，排除。
