这是一篇广告应用文。文章向读者推荐一种有收藏价值的银币。小题1:答案：A 根据题干中的关键词“stressed”定位到第一段第三句“But millions have found a smarter way to build longterm value with highgrade collectable silver.”。
解题思路：由线索定位中的句子可知，成千上万的人已经发现一种更加明智的做法，就是收藏高质量的有长效价值的银元。故A项为正确答案。B选项根据文中第一段最后一句“uncirculated Silver Dollars for only $38.95”可知是错误信息；C、D选项信息虽然正确，但不是本文要强调的。故选A项。
小题2:答案：C 数字计算题。线索定位：根据题干中的关键词“If you buy six...by post”定位到文中图片旁边的内容“59 Coins $38.45...”和图片下面的Note。
解题思路：由线索定位中的句子可知，你应该付费：6×$38.45＋$10＝$240.7。故选C项。
小题3:答案：B 细节理解题。线索定位：根据题干中的关键词“strongly encourages”定位到最后部分方框上面的内容“For fastest service，call tollfree 24 hours a day”。
解题思路：由线索定位中的句子可知，最快捷的方式便是打电话。故选B项。

考点
据考高分专家说，试题“This is What a REAL .....”主要考查你对 [日常生活类阅读 ]考点的理解。日常生活类阅读
日常生活类阅读的概念：

日常生活类阅读题答题技巧：
【题型说明】
该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小，追根溯源，探索各项风俗的历史渊源，内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主，如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松，试题做起来比较顺手，但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神，就会丢分。
【备考提醒】
为了保证较高准确率，建议同学们做好以下几点：
1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现，越是容易的试题，同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢？因为在这种情况下，同学们极易产生麻痹思想，认为题目好做，就不引起高度重视，于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点，设计陷阱题。所以，无论试题难易与否，我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易，不欣喜；试题难，不悲观。
2、根据前面讲到的方法，认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。
3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义，确定多义词或短语在文中的意思，确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象，或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子，切不可望文生义。
4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提，以具体事实为依据进行推理，做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接，只要弄清事实，即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
