问题     The so-called Americanization phenomenon seems to be a consequence of the recent globalization in our world. If we find American products worldwide, it is also increasingly common to find Asian products in the United States.
    Going to any country in Asia nowadays, we are going to see a lot of the American icons(图标) everywhere. A few years ago when I was in Ho-Chi-Min City, formerly known as Saigon, I was completely astonished at the number of billboards advertising products from multinational companies, many of them American. It is unforgettable for me--the vision of the spectacular Coca-Cola billboard on a Ho-Chi-Min Street.
    Living in the United States now, I am discovering many Asian products in America, from food to movies. In one day in San Francisco, or Seattle, or Houston, we can buy Sisheido cosmetics from Japan at the Galleria Mall, have sushi(寿司) and sashimi(生鱼片) in one of the many Japanese restaurants in the city, go to the cinema and enjoy the beautiful American-Chinese movie Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and take home spring rolls from one of the many Chinese restaurants in town.
    I understand that a great many people would like to hold back the globalization process in the world because they think they are losing their own culture, but it is very difficult to stop this process. We can only try to be critical and choose what is best for us to have or to buy.
    However, many people think that young people are not free to choose when they are constantly exposed to attractive advertisements that are specially made to capture the youth market. Peaceful protests could be arranged just to help people to think about the situation, but the tendency in our world is that we want globalization, but we don’t want to lose our own culture.
Young people today can’t really choose what they should buy because they______.
选项 A、are influenced by American culture
B、don’t know what is suitable for them
C、are critical about everything in the world
D、are faced with too many powerful advertisements
答案D
解析 事实细节题。文章最后一段首句指出“... to choose when they are constantly exposed to attractive advertisements...”(年轻人经常在面对专为他们制作的精彩广告时，就不能自由选择)。由此可知，年轻人之所以不能决定买什么是因为他们面对太多充满诱惑力的广告，而难以做出决定。
