考研英语一33题选A。原题如下：
33.What message does the spokesperson for Waterstones seem to convey?（A）
A. Their customers remain loyal；B. The credit limit will be removed.
C. Their stock is underestimated；D. The book market is rather slack.
解析如下：题目涉及原文片段有PRH declined to comment on the issue, but spokesperson for Waterstones told me: “Waterstones are currently operating with reduced credit terms from PRH.
the only publisher in the UK to place any limitations on our ability to trade. We are not boycotting PRH titles but we are doing our utmost to ensure that availability for customers remains good despite the lower overall levels of stock.
We are hopeful with our shops now open again that normality will return and that we will be allowed to buy appropriately. Certainly, our shops are exceptionally busy. The sales for our May Books of the Month surpassed any month since 2018.”
原文第二句话，“Waterstones are currently operating with reduced credit terms from PRH”，这里的关键是“reduced credit terms” 是什么意思。很多人以为 reduced credit terms = reduced credit limit，好像减少了信贷限制，其实这是不对的。
reduced credit terms，指的是减少信贷时间，比如原本 PRH 允许你有两个月的账期，现在只给你1个月的账期了，所以并没有取消credit limit。
包括后面也强调了：PRH 是 the only publisher in the UK to place any limitations on our ability to trade，PRH 出版商是英国唯一一家对我们有限制的出版商。所以，credit limit 不可能就此取消。并且后面说了：
We are hopeful with our shops now open again that normality will return and that we will be allowed to buy appropriately.我们希望随着我们的商铺都开业，一切会回归常态，我们将又被允许（信用）购买。这只是对未来的美好愿望。
因此，这道题目答案选A。答案在最后一句话可以看出来，我们的店铺很忙，销量屡创新高。所以尽管发生这回事，我们的顾客依然很忠诚，销量没有受到影响。
