选项 A、bargains
B、pricings
C、sales
D、promotions

答案 A

解析 名词辨义。联系上下文,本句意为“旅游业受到冲击,小贩和旅店老板都愿意协商价格,他们到处都能以便宜的价格买到好货”。A)bargains意为“特价商品”,表示这对夫妇利用旅游业低迷时期,靠讨价还价花很少的钱买到好东西,符合题意,故为答案。C)sales意为“销售额”,不符合题意,排除;B)pricings意为“定价;标价”,D)promotions意为“促销(活动)”,结合下文,他们能这样做的原因是“小贩和旅店老板都愿意接受砍价”,可知一开始的标价并不是很低,小贩和旅店也没有在做促销,故均排除。
