答案解析

辨认什么是看作基本相同的商品。关键词是shopping goods，文章第四段说选购商品(shopping goods)分作两类：可以看作基本相同的商品和看作不同的商品。当购买前种商品时，消费者选定式样
后，最关心的是如何以最便宜的价格买到手，消费者不在乎到什么地方去买。选项8的意思为并不考虑到哪里去买，符合文章的意思，故为正确答案。其余三项与基本事实相悖。

根据下面内容，回答题
The larger a machine and the more numerous its parts, the greater likelihood of a breakdownand the more expensive to repair．What has been said about market forces and management wasnecessarily oversimplified．The economies of modern industrial nations are large and very complex.To be sure, there is management, and there are market forces at work, but there are also manyother factors that help or hinder economic function.
In modem industrial societies, governments play a large role．There is a great amount of regu-
lation, most of it meant for the protection of the public．All regulations affect the way businessesoperate, often increasing their costs and reducing their profits．Lower profits, in turn, reduce theamount of money which is.known as working capital that a company can use for expansion．Auto e-mission standards, for instance, have had a significant impact on the manufacture and pricing ofautomobiles．Other government policies such as taxation, budget deficits, and regulation of themoney supply have an effect on how much money is available for people to spend on goods andservices.
International crises and other conditions also affect the working of an economy．A severe frostin Brazil can ruin a coffee crop and raise the price of that commodity．War can cut off the supplyof such resources as petroleum, chromium, or copper．In the United States environmental protestshave slowed the development of nuclear energy capacity and the mining of vast tracts of protectedland．Weather affects agriculture, a hot, dry summer can damage the wheat crop; floods can de-stroy thousands of acres of crops suddenly; and insect pests can devastate cropland with a rapidonslaught.
People's attitudes also have an impact on the marketing of goods．Health-conscious individu-als, for example, may stop smoking, curtail their intake of alcohol, and eat less of certain kindsof food．Advertising affects what people buy, and it can create a market where none existed．Styleand fashion are significant for many consumers.
There are other economic problems that are more difficult to understand．For centuries e-conomies have been subject to periods of prosperity followed by periods of decline．Although peri-ods of prosperity can be explained rather easily, the reasons for panics, recessions, and depres-sions are of a complex nature．So many factors contributed to the Great Depression of the 1930s,for example, that no economist has ever been able to account for all of them.
Because the causes of decline are uncertain, the remedies are equally uncertain．In the late20th century all industrialized societies through their governments have tried to stabilize e-conomies, keep them prosperous, and reduce unemployment．None of the remedies has worked tothe extent that was hoped．How economies work and what remedies can be found to keep them op-erating efficiently are the tasks of economists, who must work together with businessmen andpoliticians.
The chief purpose of the passage is__________

A．to review the factors that affect economic operation

B．to explore the causes of periodic economic decline

C．to discuss the role governments play in modern industrialized societies

D．to propose remedies for correcting economic recessions
