【C6】

选项 A、contained
B、covered
C、held
D、included

答案D

解析 cover:遮盖,覆盖;hold:拿住,握住,容纳;contain和include都有“包含,包括”的意思,但contain表示包含的全部内容或容量,include表示一个整体由几部分组成,侧重被包括者只是整体的一部分。根据空白处的上下文和常识可知,提供“服务”的商店不止文中列出的“drugstores,restaurants,shoe—repair stores,and barber or hairdressing shops(药店,餐馆,修鞋店,理发店)”,故此处用include最合适。
