【点睛】广告类短文基本上以细节题的考查为主，此类文章主要考查考生提取信息和处理信息的能力，既注重特定细节的筛选、类比、综合，又注重推理判断题的考查，题目设置较容易。答题时没有必要把每一句话弄清楚，只要重点理解和题目有关的信息就可以了。做这类题时没有必要阅读全文，宜采用“倒序法”来处理。即先看问题，后看文章内容。这样在阅读中可以有重点地、有针对性地去读，冗余无效信息可以略读甚至不读。在阅读时要特殊留意文中以黑体、大写、下画线等方式加以提示的文字，因为这很有可能是文章的核心或至少是一部分内容的概括。如第一小题，根据小标题 The Castle Shop 下第二段 At Arundel Castle we pride ourselves on supporting local suppliers and actively encourage environmentally friendly products 可知，城堡商店以支持本地供应商为荣，积极鼓励环保产品。由此可知，在城堡商店可以购买到环保产品。故选D。
