Shopping in a foreign country can be a lot of fun-trying to decide what size of your feet are in Britain, or just guessing what the funny cheese tastes like. Shopping can also be disappointing, uncomfortable, and expensive business if you don't know exactly what your rights are in British shops.
Here are some simple facts that should make sure your shopping trips are enjoyable.
Before you buy anything, be sure that you look at it carefully to check that there are no faults. It may be difficult to convince the shop after you have bought something and taken it home, that it was faulty when you bought.
If you are buying clothes, try them on whenever possible. Most stores have changing rooms-either individual rooms or large ones for common use. If a shop does not have a changing room, you should be able to take the goods back if they don't fit-but you must check this with the assistant before you buy something, or you may find that you have bought a pair of trousers that you can never wear!
11. Which of the following is NOT true about shopping in a foreign country? 短文一开始就说在异国购物很有趣，后面又说“要是你不知道在英国商店购物你所拥有的权利，购物则会是一种令人失望、不愉快、昂贵的事情”。

“有趣”、“不愉快”、“令人失望”都提到了，但没有提到“危险”。

12 B
[听力原文]
Why do you have to check everything before you buy it?
短文中说在购买任何一样东西之前，买者最好仔细检查，看是否有瑕疵。

一旦拿回家后发现瑕疵，再要说服店员瑕疵是购买时就有的，那就很难了。

因此检查的目的是看是否有瑕疵。

13 D
[听力原文]
Why do you have to try the trousers on before you buy them?
短文最后一段提到：购买服装时一定要试穿。

商店如果有试衣间，那就在商店试；如果没有，那就要确认拿回家试了如果不合适，可以拿回来退换，否则你会发现买了一条你永远不会穿的裤子。

由此可以看出：试穿的目的就是看是否合适。

14 A
[听力原文]14-16
In England bicycles are often called "boneshakers" because they shake your bones! But now there's a new smooth bicycle on the market: it's made of plastic and it comes from Sweden.
A lot of different people worked on the development of this new bicycle; the original idea came from an engineer in Sweden, and he asked for help from America as well as from a British firm.
Together they solved all the problems. First, they had to invent a new kind of plastic; then they had to design a new shape; and finally they had to produce metal parts which fit properly into the plastic frame. The result is a complete success.
Because it has a plastic frame, it is more flexible than the ordinary metal bike. This means that it's more comfortable to ride, and quieter as well. You feel more comfortable as you ride on the road. And of course it won't rust.
It never needs oil at the center of the wheels; and it's quite strong, so it won't break if you crash it! The plastic is very hard so it won't be damaged by sunshine or cigarette burns.
14. Who came up with the idea of the new bike?
短文中说设计这种自行车的想法来自于一个瑞典的工程师，但在设计过程中他寻求了美国以及一家英国公司的帮助。

15 C
[听力原文]
Why is the new bicycle more flexible than the original metal one?
短文中说这种新车车身用的是塑料，而不是普通自行车用的金属材料，因此这种自行车柔韧性更好。

16 D
[听力原文]
Which of the following is NOT true of the new bicycle?
短文中说这种自行车由于柔韧性好，因此骑着更舒服；同时，由于车身用的材料是塑料，因此比金属做的更轻便；而且轮子中间永远不需要用油。

短文最后则明确说明：用于制造这种车的塑料很硬，因而不会被日晒或香烟的烧痕所损毁。
