2026 考研英语易错题:因果逻辑关系辨析
阅读以下段落,回答问题:
The decline in traditional bookstore chains over the past decade has often been attributed solely to the rise of e-commerce platforms. While online book sales have undoubtedly siphoned off customers, this explanation overlooks other critical factors. Many brick-and-mortar stores failed to adapt to shifting consumer preferences, maintaining rigid business models that prioritized large inventories over curated shopping experiences. Additionally, soaring rental costs in urban centers and the growing popularity of digital reading devices have compounded the challenges faced by physical bookstores.
The passage suggests that the main cause of traditional bookstore decline is:
A. Exclusively the growth of online book sales
B. A combination of multiple contributing factors
C. Inability to compete with digital reading devices
D. High urban rental costs for retail spaces
解析:
本题考查对段落因果逻辑关系的准确判断,需识别文中对原因的多重阐述及否定性表述。
- 段落开篇指出传统观点将书店衰退 “solely attributed to”(仅归因于)电子商务,但随即用 “while…this explanation overlooks other critical factors” 否定了这种单一归因。
- 后文明确列举了 “failed to adapt to preferences”“soaring rental costs”“popularity of digital devices” 等多个因素,强调这些因素共同 “compounded the challenges”。由此可知,衰退是多种因素共同作用的结果。选项 B 符合这一逻辑。
- 干扰项 A(完全是线上销售增长)与文中 “overlooks other factors” 的否定表述矛盾;C(无法与电子设备竞争)和 D(高昂租金)均为文中提及的单个因素,属于片面概括,未体现 “多重因素叠加” 的核心逻辑。
答案:B
