1. (2017山东潍坊模拟)
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 people showroomed while Christmas shopping in 2017.
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 stores 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 can’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!
What does showrooming mean in the text?
A.Trying in shops and buying online.
B.Showing products in a room.

D.Shopping on the Internet.
答案:A

2.According to Amy Cashman,which is not the reason for showrooming?
A.The lack of time.
B.The comfort of the sofa.
C.The shortness of money.
D.The security of the product.
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。从第三段第一句中的“...peoplearelackingtime,lackingmoneyandtheywantsecurityabouttheproductstheyarebuying.”可知。故选B项。
3.What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?
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.
答案:C
解析:推理判断题。第四段提到:网购是不是会取代商店?商店要想继续存在,就要做出一些改变,比如调整价格,打折或者赠送小礼物等。故选C项。
4.The author’s attitude towards showrooming is .
A.critical B.neutral
C.supportive D.casual
答案:C
解析:观点态度题。从最后一段最后一句中的“...atleastbyshowrooming,yougetthebestofbothworlds!”可推知,作者对showrooming“先逛店后网购”持肯定态度。故选C项。
