    _______(49)
    A:.The larger sized objects are displayed in the showrooms of the Canada Ikea stores.
    B:.This furniture is designed to provide the home owner with stylish(时髦的)furniture that is also affordable and perfect for everyday use.
    C:.With so many items to be found you are sure to want to buy everything that catches your fancy.

    F: One such store that you can find in many different countries including that of Canada is that of the Ikea chain of stores.

    答案:D
    解析:
    第一段第一句:“There are many different stores that people go to in order to buy various household goods.”接下来是:“The Canada Ikea(宜家)is not confined to one city alone in that country.”才民据上下文,One such store that you can find in many different countries in-cluding that of Canada is that of the Ikea chain of stores是最合适的。承上,指出宜家是这样一家商场,启下,进一步介绍宜家。所以选F。


    空格前一句:“As with all of the Ikea stores the Canada Ikea deals mainly with selling top quality Swedish furniture.”而选项“B. This furniture is designed to provide the home owner with stylish(时髦的)furniture that is also affordable and perfect for everyday use.”是对家具作进一步的说明。其他选项都没有提到家具。


    第三段第一句:“To make shopping for furniture and other goods easy the Ikea stores in every country , are all set out in the same manner.”选项“E. This makes it very easy for visi-tors from other countries to buy the items they need without wandering around the store trying to find their goods. ”This指代空格前的这句话。这两句是因果关系。


    第四段第一句:“To help make it easy tor you to shop for the items that you want there are large blue and yellow bags or shopping carts available.”只有选项D提到了bags and carts。


    最后一段说在宜家:“you will find nany interesting items”只有“C. With so many items to be found you are sure to want to buy everything that catches your fancy.”符合逻辑。
