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,國(guó)內(nèi)外興起了一種購(gòu)物方式-Showrooming(商品展廳).Showrooming指的是消費(fèi)者在零售店挑選商品,然后在網(wǎng)上購(gòu)買(mǎi)的消費(fèi)行為.在本文中作者就這一現(xiàn)象以及網(wǎng)上購(gòu)物對(duì)商場(chǎng)的沖擊進(jìn)行了分析,指出商場(chǎng)必須做出相應(yīng)的改變來(lái)迎接這一挑戰(zhàn).

解答 32.A,推理判斷題.本文內(nèi)容是介紹網(wǎng)上購(gòu)物,由此可知作者在文章開(kāi)篇提出的問(wèn)題只是起到引出話題的作用,答案選A.
33.A,細(xì)節(jié)理解題.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指的是去實(shí)體店看或者試用產(chǎn)品,然后去網(wǎng)上購(gòu)買(mǎi),故答案選A.
34.B,細(xì)節(jié)理解題.從文章第三段Amy Cashman所說(shuō)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選項(xiàng)內(nèi)容不是showrooming的原因,答案選B.
35.C,細(xì)節(jié)理解題.從文章第四段Certainly shops will change.They will have to offer more competitive prices …free girls可以判斷商店不會(huì)因?yàn)榫W(wǎng)購(gòu)的增多而倒閉,但是商場(chǎng)卻的確需要一些改變,答案選C.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 解答任務(wù)型閱讀理解題,首先對(duì)原文材料迅速瀏覽,掌握全文的主旨大意.因?yàn)殚喿x理解題一般沒(méi)有標(biāo)題,所以,速讀全文,抓住中心主旨很有必要,在速讀的過(guò)程中,應(yīng)盡可能多地捕獲信息材料.其次,細(xì)讀題材,各個(gè)擊破.掌握全文的大意之后,細(xì)細(xì)閱讀每篇材料后的問(wèn)題,弄清每題要求后,帶著問(wèn)題,再回到原文中去尋找、捕獲有關(guān)信息.最后,要善于抓住每段的主題句,閱讀時(shí),要有較強(qiáng)的針對(duì)性.對(duì)于捕獲到的信息,要做認(rèn)真分析,仔細(xì)推敲,理解透徹,只有這樣,針對(duì)題目要求,才能做到穩(wěn)、準(zhǔn).

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 (飄) 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 (無(wú)線的) receiver for receiving directions from a computer that directs the fans and sensors (傳感器) 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!
4.The balloon is used toA.
A.lead the way  
B.bring people joy    
C.catch the thief     
D.welcome the visitors
5.We can learn from the last paragraph thatD.
A.the idea of the balloon is new                  
B.the balloon is difficult to make
C.the balloon will replace the iPhone soon
D.the technology may become popular in the future
6.The text is most probably from aB.
A.newspaper ad  
B.science news report   
C.book review
D.science novel.
