20.Do you like shopping?Or does the thought of wandering round the shops fill you with terror?For some of us,shopping is an enjoyable way of spending our spare time and our money.For me,it's something I would rather avoid.Thank goodness for the Internet!It's more convenient to buy CDs,electrical items,and even food from the comfort of your sofa.But that's not the only reason:price is an important factor.We can buy goods and services cheaper online.But sometimes the problem is knowing what to buy.This has led to a type of shopping called"showrooming".
Showrooming is something I've done.I will go to a shop to see,touch and try out products but then go home and buy them online at a knock-down price.I'm not alone in doing this.Research by a company called Foolproof found 24% of the people showroomed while Christmas shopping in 2013.
Amy Cashman,Head of Technology at TNS UK,says the reasons for this new shopping habit are that people are lacking time,lacking money and they want security about the products they are buying.She explains that consumers are not only shopping online at home but they are using the Internet in store or on their smartphones to shop around.
But does this mean technology will kill shops?Certainly shops will change.They will have to offer more competitive prices or encourage people to buy more by giving in-store discounts or free gifts.
We mustn't forget that buying in a shop means you can get expert advice from the sales assistant and you can get good aftercare.It's good to speak to a real human rather than look at a faceless computer screen,but at least by showrooming,you get the best of both worlds.
32.The two questions in Paragraph 1are raised toA.
A.introduce the topic              
B.give two examples
C.compare different opinions        
D.get answers from readers
33.What does showrooming mean in the text?A
A.Trying in shops and buying online      
B.Showing products in a room
C.Buying something in a store           
D.Shopping on the Internet
34.According to Amy Cashman,which is NOT the reason for showrooming?B
A.The lack of time               
B.The comfort of the sofa
C.The lack of money             
D.The security of the product
35.What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?C
A.Online shops will disappear.
B.Free gifts will surely promote sales.
C.Shops need necessary changes.
D.Shops will be replaced by online shops.

分析 目前,国内外兴起了一种购物方式-Showrooming(商品展厅).Showrooming指的是消费者在零售店挑选商品,然后在网上购买的消费行为.在本文中作者就这一现象以及网上购物对商场的冲击进行了分析,指出商场必须做出相应的改变来迎接这一挑战.

解答 32.A,推理判断题.本文内容是介绍网上购物,由此可知作者在文章开篇提出的问题只是起到引出话题的作用,答案选A.
33.A,细节理解题.由文章第二段Showrooming is something I've done.I will go to a shop to see,touch and try out products but then go home and buy them online at a knock-down price.可知showrooming指的是去实体店看或者试用产品,然后去网上购买,故答案选A.
34.B,细节理解题.从文章第三段Amy Cashman所说的:the reasons for this new shopping habit are that"people are lacking time,lacking money and they want security about the products they are buying,由此可知B选项内容不是showrooming的原因,答案选B.
35.C,细节理解题.从文章第四段Certainly shops will change.They will have to offer more competitive prices …free girls可以判断商店不会因为网购的增多而倒闭,但是商场却的确需要一些改变,答案选C.

One day,Kerry promised marriage to Alice.Surprised and pleased by the offer,the girl was not sure whether she would spend her future as a wife or a painter.After a moment she replied as follows,"Each of us must paint a picture.If yours is superior to mine,you can make me your wife.If not,please drop the question."Then it was decided to give it the following day.
The next morning,Alice hung her picture on the gate.It showed a bunch(束)of flowers and won high praise from everyone who passed by.In fact,a crowd collected in front of her masterpiece(杰作)and fixed their eyes on it.
Several hours passed.Then Kerry was seen coming along to the gate with what appeared to be a beautiful leather suitcase in his hand.When he finally stopped before Alice.the girl artist blushed(脸红)like a rose and agreed to marry him without any hesitation.Why?

15.Imagine entering a very large building and you have no idea how to get to the office you are looking for.But then,as you're standing there,a nearly silent balloon floats (飘) over to you and speaks to you.It asks you where you want to go.You tell it,and then it simply says"follow me"like a child's game,and begins to float off in the direction of your destination.It keeps going,as you follow,leading you to where you want to go.
The guide works itself,without any help from any human being.It says hello to people as they arrive in the building,speaks to them,processes their requests and then guides them to the destination.
The balloon has two tiny fans to help keep it floating and to provide just a touch of lift.Onboard is a wireless (无线的) receiver for receiving directions from a computer that directs the fans and sensors (传感器) that let it know where objects are around it.
The idea of such a simple robot is one that has been on the minds of scientists for years,and has been mentioned in novels many times.Today the iPhone does something similar but has to be connected to the Internet which is sometimes difficult.This is why this little balloon might be the wave of the future-because it is so much easier to follow!
