W: Tell me, Peter, what makes Harold’s so famous?
M: Well, it’s the biggest department store in the UK, and its food hall and Egyptian hall are very famous. People come to Harold’s just to see them.
W: What is special about the food hall?
M: It sells many different kinds of food. For example, it has 250 kinds of cheese from all over the world, and more than 180 kinds of bread. Customers also love all the different kinds of chocolate. They buy 100 tons every year.
W: That’s amazing, and why is the Egyptian hall so famous?
M: Well, when people see it they feel they’re in another world. It looks like an Egyptian building from 4,000 years ago, and it sells beautiful objects. They are not 4,000 years old, of course.
W: Is it true that Harold’s produces its own electricity?
M: Yes, it does. 70% ,enough for a small town. To light the outside of the building we use 11,500 light bulbs.
W: Really, tell me, how many customers do you have on an average day? And how much do they spend?
M: About 30,000 people come on an average day. But during the sales, the number increases to 300,000 customers a day. How much do they spend? Well, on average, customers spend about 1.5 million pounds a day. The record for one day is 9 million pounds.
W: 9 million pounds in one day?
M: Yes, on the first day of the January sales.
W: Harold’s says it sells everything to everybody everywhere, is that really true?
M: Oh, yes, of course. Absolutely everything.

选项 A、Its power bill reaches £9 million a year.
B、It sells thousands of light bulbs a day.
C、It supplies power to a nearby town.
D、It generates 70 % of the electricity it uses.

答案D

解析 What may customers find surprising about Harold’s?
四个选项的主语都是it,内容事物的具体与特点相关,因此可以推测本题可能提问事物的特点。女士反问男士,Harold’s自己发电供自己使用的说法是否属实,男土表示确有此事,自己的发电量占到总量的70%。既然女士(顾客)对这一说法进行专门的确认,说明女士对这一点感到很惊讶。所以本题的正确答案为D。
