Therefore因此。分析语境可知，最终要得出的结论是储蓄率上升，这与前面所提的事实存在因果关系。故选D项。【41题详解】考查副词词义辨析。句意：最后，我们在物品上的支出占收入的比例下降，而在服务上的支出增加。A. cautiously谨慎地；B. intelligen
59、tly智能地；C. proportionately相称地，成比例地；D. prospectively预期地。这里有在实体和服务上花销的一个对比，即存在一种相对关系。故选C项。【42题详解】考查形容词词义辨析。句意：我们把更多的钱花在了教育、娱乐、商业服务和其他各种传统零售店买不到的产品上。A. available可获取的；B. insufficient不足的；C. popular受欢迎的；D. uncommon不寻常的。前面列举的都是服务项目，与实体形成对比，这些服务都是零售店提供不了的。故选A项。【43题详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意：经济学家们在争辩为何我们都远离实物转向了服务。A. app
60、lied应用；B. committed承诺，委托；C. shifted转移，变换；D. tied系，连接。这里承接上文继续说明人们重服务轻商品的现象，即远离商品、转向服务。故选C项。【44题详解】考查名词词义辨析。句意：这意味着随着时间流逝，出售实物的零售商们要想生存下去会越来越艰难。A. ideas主意；B. patents专利；C. services服务；D. things事物。与前文“less of income on things and more on services”对应，零售商们难以生存就是因为他们销售的是实物商品。故选D项。【45题详解】考查名词词义辨析。句意：简言之，打击零
61、售业的广泛力量更多的是经济学方面的因素，而不是技术的力量。A. consumption消费；B. habit习惯；C. income收入；D. technology技术。根据上文Collectively, three major 3 forces have had an even bigger impact on brick-and-mortar retail than the Internet has.可知，零售业的寒冬并非是网络技术发展、电商崛起造成的结果，而更多地源于经济因素。故选D项。Section BDirections: Read the following three passa
