15、段可知，随着经济的萧条，消费者买东西要更加小心，因为到处都充斥着虚假信息，消费者很容易受骗。2D推理判断题。由第二段可知，作者认为199美元只是单程票的费用，而顾客所需要的一般是双程票，因此，此项优惠并不实用。3D细节理解题。作者长时间以来认为一份食物所含的热量就是一包食物所含的热量，殊不知，一包食物并不只是一份食物的量，因此作者认为自己是个傻子。4C主旨大意题。作者通过举例告诉读者：不要被商家的虚假信息迷惑。.完形填空Several days ago, I went to visit a nursing home with my friends for the first time.Our

23、 as songs and talk shows”可知，作者他们还准备了一些“表演”。3C根据“for the first time” 可知作者是第一次去，又根据“It was hard to imagine the difference we could make” 可知，他不知道会发生什么。4A根据后文可知作者给那些老人的生活带来了一定的影响，故可知他在这里是说不要低估陌生人“影响”他人的能力。5D作者去了那所敬老院，故可知这里，表示如果没去，就不可能知道那种影响有多神奇(amazing)。6B作者他们到了敬老院后，首先应该是跟那里的老人们“打招呼”。7C根据后文的描述可知，老人们很“感激
24、”作者他们能来。8D老人们很欣喜作者他们能来看他们，他们流下了“喜悦”的泪水。9D根据“even at an old age”可知，作者对他们的乐观感到“惊讶”。10A老人们都很老了，“身体”应该不会很好。11Bget tired of厌烦，厌倦；take care of照顾，照料；get in touch with和保持联系；look down upon轻视，瞧不起。句意：虽然老人们才是行动不便的人，可他们却叮嘱作者要好好“照顾”自己。12D老人们都很老了，健康状况应该是每况愈下，故选D。13B这里是指作者参加这次志愿者活动后所学到的东西。14D根据“a new opinion towards life, or a warm smile”可知，志愿者通过帮助他人也可以“受益”颇多。15A作者认为，当志愿者“确实”是件美丽的事情。
