问题 What is the passage mainly about?
The phrase "throw one’s weight around" (Paragraph 2) probably means ______.
选项 A、to look down upon others and intimidate others into doing something
B、to spend money foolishly in order to show one’s wealth
C、to use one’s power to tell people what to do in an unpleasant way
D、to discourage others by showing off their strength
答案C
解析 这是一道词义题。题干中的信号词出自于文章第二段第四句话中。文章第二段指出：超级市场进入城镇后，它所取代的不仅仅是当地的零售企业；由于它们的销售量很大，超级市场可以通过要求低价仗势欺压当地的供应商。接着举例指出： Costco直接从生产厂家购买商品来给它在日本的两家超市供货，这种做法使得日本根深蒂固但是效率低下的销售网络陷于崩溃。这说明，该短语的意思应该是：利用自己的影响，迫使他人做他们不愿意做的事情。C说“利用自己的权威告诉人们以他们不高兴的方式做事”，这与文章的意思符合。A和D不准确；B明显与文章的意思不符。
