A 新素材 巴塞罗那杂货店收费的原因(2025·无锡东林中学期中)
西班牙巴塞罗那的一家杂货店决定对来访的顾客收取费用,这是为什么呢?阅读下文一起来了解一下吧。
Troubled by visitors who only come in to check out the design and decoration, the owners of Queviures Murria, a grocery store in Barcelona, Spain, have put up a sign announcing a 5-euro fee for coming in just to look.
Queviures Murria has been in business since 1898 and is one of the most eye-catching places of interest in all of Barcelona. The old look of the store and the traditional design of the inside attract hundreds of visitors every day, but the problem is that many of them aren't actually interested in the things sold inside-all kinds of traditional Spanish cured sausages, cold cuts, cured cheeses, oils, wines and so on. According to the store, many visitors enter the store without even saying a simple "hello", wander around taking pictures, and then simply leave without buying anything. So it decided to charge people for "just looking" just to stop them.
Toni Merino, one of the managers at Queviures Murria, said that the idea to charge visitors a fee for simply coming into the grocery store and looking around without buying anything started out as a joke, but as day by day the workers and the real shoppers became inconvenienced by too many visitors looking around, taking pictures, with surely no interest in the things sold there, they decided it.
Merino said he has no interest in actually charging the fee, and they don't really have to any more. By posting a warning about the 5-euro fee in the shop window, they have stopped most unwanted visitors.
After photos of the 5-euro fee announcement in the window of Queviures Murria became well-known on social media, the store faced a problem and had to explain the reasons and clarify that it didn't really plan on carrying on the measure.
(
A. Visitors are not welcome there.
B. It has a history of nearly 100 years.
C. It charges people for taking photos.
D. Many visitors better like its design.
(
A. To provide a better shopping environment.
B. To make money.
C. To attract more visitors.
D. To get fame.
(
A. To make a joke to charge visitors.
B. To sell all kinds of traditional Spanish food.

答案
A 【文章大意】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述了西班牙巴塞罗那的一家杂货店因游客只来参观设计和装饰而不购物，所以采取了收取5欧元入场费的措施，最终通过公告牌成功减少无关游客的故事。
1. D [解析]细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The old look of the store and the traditional design of the inside attract(吸引) hundreds of visitors every day”可知，商店的古老外观和传统的内部设计每天吸引数百名游客，即许多游客更喜欢其设计风格。故选D。
2. A [解析]推理判断题。根据第二段中的“but the problem is that many of them aren't actually interested in the things sold inside... So it decided to charge(收费) people for 'just looking' just to stop them”可知，过多游客给员工和真正的顾客带来不便，因此杂货店决定收费。由此可推知，杂货店张贴收费公告牌是为了阻止那些只参观不购物的人，此举是为了改善购物环境。故选A。
3. C [解析]代词指代题。根据第三段中的“the idea to charge visitors a fee for simply coming into the grocery store and looking around without buying anything started out as a joke, but as day by day the workers and the real shoppers became inconvenienced(不方便) by too many visitors looking around ... they decided it”可知，向游客收取费用的想法起初只是一个笑话，后来员工和真正的购物者越来越不方便，所以他们决定这样做。由此可推知，画线词“it”指代“通过收费阻止无关游客”的措施。故选C。
4. B [解析]推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了巴塞罗那的一家杂货店因游客只参观而不购物，所以采取了收费措施的事件。该事件符合新闻报道的特征，因此最有可能来源于新闻网站。故选B。
