"Welcome to the U. S. A. ! Major credit cards are accepted!"
By the millions they are coming no longer the tired, the poor, the wretched masses longing for a better living. These are the wealthy. "We don’t have a budget," says a biologist from Brazil, as she walks with two companions through New York City’ s South Street." We just use our credit cards."
The US has long been one of the world’ s most popular tourist destinations, but this year has been exceptional. First, there was the World Cup, which drew thousands from every comer of the globe; then came the weakening of the US dollar against major currencies. Now the US, still the world’ s superpower, can also claim to be the world’ s bargain basement(廉价商品).
Nobody undersells America
these days on just about everything, from consumer electronics to fashion clothes to tennis rackets. Bottom retail prices anywhere from 30 % to 70% lower than those in Europe and Asia have attracted some 47 million visitors, who are expected to leave behind $ 79 billion in 1994. That’ s up from $ 74 billion the year before.
True, not everyone comes just for bargains. There remains an undeniable fascination in the rest of the world with all things American, nourished by Hollywood films and US television series. But shopping the USA is proving irresistible. Every week thousands arrive with empty suitcases ready to be filled; some even rent an additional hotel room to hold their purchases. The buying binge(无节制)has become as important as watching Old Faithful Fountains erupt in Yellowstone Park or sunbathing on a beach in Florida.
The US has come at last to appreciate what other countries learned long ago: the pouring in of foreign tourists may not always be convenient, but it does put money in the bank. And with a trade deficit at about $130 billion and growing for the past 12 months, the US needs all the deposits it can get. Compared with American tourists abroad, visitors to the US stay longer and spend more money at each stop; an average of 12.2 night and $ 1624 a traveler versus the Americans’ four nights and $ 298. [br] By saying "Nobody undersells America" (Underlined), the author means that______.
选项
A、no other country underestimates the competitiveness of American products
B、nobody expects the Americans to cut the prices of their commodities
C、nobody restrains the selling of American goods
D、no other country sells at a lower price than America
答案
D
解析
在文章的第三段中Now the US,still the world’s superpower,can also claim to be the world’s bargain basement的中文意思是:美国现在仍是世界上的超级大国,也可以声称是世界上的廉价商品部。所以,Nobody undersells America这句话所暗含的意思是:没有哪个国家的物价水平比美国更低。在后文中,作者又提到了美国的零售底价比欧洲低 30%,比亚洲低70%。这一事实更证明了这一观点的正确性。故本题的正确答案是D。
