Ⅰ.根据提示填空
As the saying goes, money makes the mare go (有钱能使鬼推磨). It's true that money ❶plays an important part in (在……中起重要作用) our life. We can't go without it. Many people are ❷determined (determine) to become a millionaire. But money is not everything. Owning much money doesn't necessarily bring happiness. Money can buy food but not appetite, medicine but not health, soft beds but not sleep, knowledge but not intelligence, finery (服饰) but not kindness, lustre (光泽) but not ❸cheerfulness (cheerful), fun but not happiness, friends but not friendship, servants but not ❹faithfulness (faithful). So many people ❺take_good_advantage_of (充分利用) their money. Charles Gray is an example.
Charles Gray is a real person from the USA. Years ago he was a university professor and a ❻millionaire (百万富翁). However, he grew disillusioned (不抱希望的) with the ❼wealthy (wealth) and comfortable life he was leading and started to give all his money away. He thought it was unfair for some people to have so many of the world's resources, when so many people in the world were living in ❽poverty (poor).

What I have a hard time explaining to friends and family back in the U.S. is how China has gone ❺beyond_traditional_shopping — bigbox retailers especially — in favor of ❻online_purchases on Taobao and a few other sites.In smaller towns than Beijing, Taobao will be the first ❼choice when shopping online.
I have ❽a_list_of some of my recent purchases on Taobao for a sense of how wide the ❾marketplace is.Almost everything arrived a day or two after ordering with free shopping.I'm not even a big buyer, because I need friends to help me search the Chineselanguage site.When I was searching my purchase history on my Chinese teacher's iPad, which helps me buy goods,_I looked through with great difficulty about 10 of her purchases for every one of mine.

[话题感悟]
学习目标 ——语篇复现词汇,活学活用记忆更深
(加黑词汇为本单元话题词汇,读文时请揣摩其用法)
(2015·重庆高考阅读B)In ancient Egypt, a shopkeeper discovered that he could attract customers to his shop simply by making changes to its environment. Modern businesses have been following his lead, with more tactics (策略).
One tactic involves where to display the goods. For example, stores place fruits and vegetables in the first section. They know that customers who buy the healthy food first will feel happy so that they will buy more junk food (垃圾食品) later in their trip. In department stores, the women's shoe section is generally next to the women's cosmetics (化妆品) section: while the shop assistant is going back to find the right size shoe, bored customers are likely to wander over and find some cosmetics they might want to try later.
Besides, businesses seek to appeal to customers' senses. Stores notice that the smell of baked goods encourages shopping, so they make their own bread each morning and then fan the bread smell into the store throughout the day. Music sells goods, too. Researchers in Britain found that when French music was played, sales of French wines went up.
When it comes to the selling of houses, businesses also use highly rewarding tactics. They find that customers make decisions in the first few seconds upon walking in the door, and turn it into a business opportunity. A California builder designed the structure of its houses smartly. When entering the house, the customer would see the Pacific Ocean through the windows, and then the pool through an open stairway leading to the lower level. The instant view of water on both levels helped sell these $10 million houses.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。你知道现在的商家是怎么吸引顾客的吗?他们效仿古埃及店主的做法,通过对商店的环境做一些改变来吸引顾客。
40.Why do stores usually display fruits and vegetables in the first section?
A.To save customers time.
B.To show they are high quality foods.
C.To help sell junk food.
D.To sell them at discount prices.
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第二段的举例内容可知,商家如此摆放水果和蔬菜的目的是让先买健康食品的顾客感到高兴,这样他们稍后就会买更多的垃圾食品了。解题时不能凭主观臆断选择答案,B项干扰性很强,商家展示自己商品的高质量是毋庸置疑的,但本文并未提及。
41.According to Paragraph 3, which of the following encourages customers to buy?
A.Opening the store early in the morning.
B.Displaying British wines next to French ones.
C.Inviting customers to play music.
D.Filling the store with the smell of fresh bread.
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“... they make their own bread each morning and then fan the bread smell into the store throughout the day.”可知,商家知道烤面包的味道对顾客的感官有诱惑力,于是他们就整天用风扇把面包味吹进商店。
42.What is the California builder's story intended to prove?
A.The house structure is a key factor customers consider.
B.The more costly the house is, the better it sells.
C.An ocean view is much to the customers' taste.
D.A good first impression increases sales.
解析:选D 推理判断题。最后一段中的a California builder这个故事是一个例子,用来说明前面的内容,因此根据该例子前面的”in the first few seconds”可知应该选择D项。该段主要是说顾客在进店的头几秒钟就会做出是否购买的决定,因此良好的第一印象自然会有助于增加销量。
43.What is the main purpose of the passage?
A.To explain how businesses turn people into their customers.
B.To introduce how businesses have grown from the past.
C.To report researches on customer behavior.
D.To show dishonest business practices.
解析:选A 写作目的题。文章第一段就点明了主题。本文主要介绍的是商家是通过哪些手段吸引顾客的,因此答案选A。文章虽然提到了古埃及,但并不是介绍商家是如何从过去发展而来的,因此B项不对;文章主要聚焦在商家的一些做法上,因此C项有误;D项的dishonest一词与全文的基调不一致,文章只是客观介绍,并没有暗示商家不诚实。
学习目标 ——题后把脉规律,练后得法理解更透
写作目的技法(2)——分析文章结构,推断写作目的
在一篇文章中,作者一般不直接表明自己的目的,而是通过文章所提供的事实,客观地使读者信服某种想法或观点。因此考生在解答写作目的题时,不但能理解文章的大意,同时还要具备对作者阐述问题的方法进行分析和归纳总结的能力。
一般来说,通过分析文章的行文结构,理解的文章中的文字表述、上下文的逻辑关系及事物的发展变化等已知的信息,可以推断出作者的写作意图。如上文第43题,文章先介绍在古埃及,一个店主发现他可以通过改变商店的环境来吸引顾客,接下来介绍了商家吸引顾客的手段。我们可以得知,本文的行文结构为“总分型”,文章的写作意图在开头部分。因此答案选A项。
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2019·广西三市联考)The next generation of artificial intelligence (AI) may be sitting right beneath you, at least if furniture maker IKEA has any say in the matter. The Swedish furniture company's “futureliving” research lab in Copenhagen is conducting a survey to understand what people want when it comes to smart furniture.
AI is now walking into more aspects of people's daily lives. Selfdriving cars are just around the corner, and AI robots can play and beat the best players of strategy games. As smart home technologies have become more ubiquitous,_products ranging from smart electrical outlets (电源插座) to smart smoke alarms are flooding the market. Therefore, it's not surprising that IKEA would be moving in the same direction.
Exactly why people would want their sofa or bed frame to speak to them, track their daily movements or offer help is not yet clear. Though IKEA's new survey doesn't directly answer that question, it does provide a hint of what people would feel comfortable with. Most participants wanted a more humanlike form of virtual (虚拟的) assistants, as opposed to one that is more robotic. In terms of the ideal gender (性别) of the assistants, the most popular choice was neither male nor female. Few wanted a religious form of AI.
Just as with human friends, most wanted AI friends that were like them, affirming their own world view. They wanted an AI assistant that was reasonably intelligent — that could collect data to predict what a person wanted before he or she asked, and that could prevent someone from making mistakes.
This is not the first time that IKEA has set foot in the field of futuristic technologies. In addition to wireless charging tables and chainless bikes that never rust (生锈), the furniture giant has also pictured smart kitchens that can cook the best meal. To decide on how intelligent you want your next sofa or bookshelf to be, you can take IKEA's survey online.
语篇解读:本文是一篇科普说明文,主要介绍了瑞典家具公司IKEA涉足的智能家具的情况。随着科技的发展,人工智能产品层出不穷,IKEA公司就顾客对智能家具的期望做了调查。
1.What does the underlined word “ubiquitous” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Beautiful. B.Common.
C.Normal. D.Environmental.
解析:选B 词义猜测题。根据第二段第三句中的“products ranging from smart electrical outlets (电源插座) to smart smoke alarms are flooding the market”可知,从智能电源插座到智能烟雾警报器等各种智能产品充斥着市场。据此可以判断,智能家居产品已经变得更加普遍,画线词意为“十分普遍的”,故B项正确。
2.What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A.The differences between robotlike and humanlike assistants.
B.What form of AI assistants people want.
C.What kind of friends people want.
D.The popular robots on the market.
解析:选B 段落大意题。通读第三段可知,该段第三、四句“Most participants wanted a more humanlike form ... neither male nor female”点明该段主题;据此可知,大多数参与者想要更人性化的人工智能助手,而不是呆板机械的机器人。故该段主要介绍了人们想要什么样的人工智能助手,故B项正确。
3.Most people who received the survey wanted an AI assistant that could ________.
A.help them become smarter
B.communicate with them without troubles
C.have its own world view
D.deal with their problems in advance
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据第四段第二句“They wanted an AI assistant that was reasonably intelligent ... from making mistakes”可知,人们想要的是能预先帮助他们处理好问题的人工智能助手,故D项正确。
4.Which of the following products are from IKEA?
A.Smart sofas that can speak to you.
B.Smart beds that can track your daily movements.
C.Wireless charging cars.
D.Rustless bikes without chains.
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据最后一段第二句“In addition to wireless charging tables and chainless bikes that never rust (生锈), the furniture giant has also pictured smart kitchens that can cook the best meal”可知,除了无线充电台和无链条的不生锈自行车以外,该家具巨头还设想了能烹饪美食的智能厨房。据此可知,D项正确。
B
Daniel Lamplugh remembers going shopping with his dad on Black Friday. “Waking up at 6 a.m. the day after Thanksgiving is what I grew up doing,” says the University of New Orleans film student.
A lot has changed since those childhood days. Online retailers (零售商) have forced many chains out of business. Consumers are increasingly shopping with their smartphones. But a funny thing happened on the way to the future:Most shoppers are not going alldigital. Surveys show they're eager for good experiences at retail stores.
This November and December, for the first time ever, retailer websites will get more traffic from mobile users than computer users, predicts Adobe Digital Insights. “We live our lives with a combination of the physical and the digital,” says Kit Yarrow, author of the book Decoding the New Consumer Mind. “Retailers have to understand it's not a question of either/or. It's a question of combining the two.”
Heather Howe, an MBA student, said, “Consumers like shopping on their phones and online because it's more convenient and because there are more options. I went to the Vans store to try on shoes and then I actually purchased them online while I was in the store.”
While mobile sales are growing, the widest use of smartphones in stores is researching products or looking up product information (58 percent), closely followed by checking or comparing prices (54 percent), according to a survey.
“My phone plays a huge role in online shopping, because I am on the email list for all of my favorite brands, so I get many emails daily informing me of sales,” says Rachel Lynch, who works at a Boston PublicRelations Agency. “Also, a store has an app that allows me to chat with other users about the products, and read reviews. Online reviews are one of the first things I look at when I am about to buy a new product.”
“Electronics and kitchen equipment are definitely online purchases for me, since they're heavy to get home on the subway and often cheaper online,” says Michael MillerErnest, a manager in Brooklyn, N.Y.
语篇解读:本文是议论文。文章从消费者的购物习惯讨论商家应该如何应对消费习惯的不断变化。
5.What do most shoppers tend to do now?
A.Do shopping alldigitally.
B.Use computers to do online shopping.
C.Do window shopping in shopping malls.
D.Go to physical stores with their smartphones.
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Consumers are increasingly shopping with their smartphones”和“they're eager for good experiences at retail stores”及第五段可知,现今,消费者大都选择在实体店看实物,然后当即用手机在网上下单。
6.What's Kit Yarrow's suggestion for retailers?
A.Reaching both online and offline consumers.
B.Focusing on either the physical or the digital.
C.Encouraging consumers to use smartphones.
D.Providing more convenience for computer users.
解析:选A 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“We live our lives with a combination of the physical and the digital ... It's a question of combining the two”可知,Kit Yarrow建议零售商要接触线上和线下两个领域的消费者。
7.What does Heather Howe think of online stores?
A.They offer wider choices.
B.They sell high quality goods.
C.They will replace physical stores.
D.They are burning shoppers' patience.
解析:选A 推理判断题。根据第四段可知,Heather Howe认为网络商店提供更多的选择。
8.What can be inferred about Rachel Lynch's habits?
A.She buys heavy goods online.
B.She often writes users' reviews.
C.She is fond of sending producers emails.
D.She tries to learn about other users' experience.
解析:选D 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“Online reviews are one of the first things I look at when I am about to buy a new product”可知,Rachel Lynch会关注其他用户的体验。

Ⅰ.根据提示填空
As the saying goes, money makes the mare go (有钱能使鬼推磨). It's true that money ❶plays an important part in (在……中起重要作用) our life. We can't go without it. Many people are ❷determined (determine) to become a millionaire. But money is not everything. Owning much money doesn't necessarily bring happiness. Money can buy food but not appetite, medicine but not health, soft beds but not sleep, knowledge but not intelligence, finery (服饰) but not kindness, lustre (光泽) but not ❸cheerfulness (cheerful), fun but not happiness, friends but not friendship, servants but not ❹faithfulness (faithful). So many people ❺take_good_advantage_of (充分利用) their money. Charles Gray is an example.
Charles Gray is a real person from the USA. Years ago he was a university professor and a ❻millionaire (百万富翁). However, he grew disillusioned (不抱希望的) with the ❼wealthy (wealth) and comfortable life he was leading and started to give all his money away. He thought it was unfair for some people to have so many of the world's resources, when so many people in the world were living in ❽poverty (poor).
Ⅱ.片段选词填空

Alibaba's original businesstobusiness model now is second to ❶consumer buying.Chinese retail (零售) buying makes up 80% of Alibaba's ❷profit,_and leading that group is Taobao, with 800 million items for sale and the most unbelievable ❸selection of things you'll never find. Tmall.com is Alibaba's another big site, where you can find brandname goods from Nike to Unilever almost ❹at_the_lowest_prices.
What I have a hard time explaining to friends and family back in the U.S. is how China has gone ❺beyond_traditional_shopping — bigbox retailers especially — in favor of ❻online_purchases on Taobao and a few other sites.In smaller towns than Beijing, Taobao will be the first ❼choice when shopping online.
I have ❽a_list_of some of my recent purchases on Taobao for a sense of how wide the ❾marketplace is.Almost everything arrived a day or two after ordering with free shopping.I'm not even a big buyer, because I need friends to help me search the Chineselanguage site.When I was searching my purchase history on my Chinese teacher's iPad, which helps me buy goods,_I looked through with great difficulty about 10 of her purchases for every one of mine.

[话题感悟]
学习目标 ——语篇复现词汇,活学活用记忆更深
(加黑词汇为本单元话题词汇,读文时请揣摩其用法)
(2015·重庆高考阅读B)In ancient Egypt, a shopkeeper discovered that he could attract customers to his shop simply by making changes to its environment. Modern businesses have been following his lead, with more tactics (策略).
One tactic involves where to display the goods. For example, stores place fruits and vegetables in the first section. They know that customers who buy the healthy food first will feel happy so that they will buy more junk food (垃圾食品) later in their trip. In department stores, the women's shoe section is generally next to the women's cosmetics (化妆品) section: while the shop assistant is going back to find the right size shoe, bored customers are likely to wander over and find some cosmetics they might want to try later.
Besides, businesses seek to appeal to customers' senses. Stores notice that the smell of baked goods encourages shopping, so they make their own bread each morning and then fan the bread smell into the store throughout the day. Music sells goods, too. Researchers in Britain found that when French music was played, sales of French wines went up.
When it comes to the selling of houses, businesses also use highly rewarding tactics. They find that customers make decisions in the first few seconds upon walking in the door, and turn it into a business opportunity. A California builder designed the structure of its houses smartly. When entering the house, the customer would see the Pacific Ocean through the windows, and then the pool through an open stairway leading to the lower level. The instant view of water on both levels helped sell these $10 million houses.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。你知道现在的商家是怎么吸引顾客的吗?他们效仿古埃及店主的做法,通过对商店的环境做一些改变来吸引顾客。
40.Why do stores usually display fruits and vegetables in the first section?
A.To save customers time.
B.To show they are high quality foods.
C.To help sell junk food.
D.To sell them at discount prices.
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第二段的举例内容可知,商家如此摆放水果和蔬菜的目的是让先买健康食品的顾客感到高兴,这样他们稍后就会买更多的垃圾食品了。解题时不能凭主观臆断选择答案,B项干扰性很强,商家展示自己商品的高质量是毋庸置疑的,但本文并未提及。
41.According to Paragraph 3, which of the following encourages customers to buy?
A.Opening the store early in the morning.
B.Displaying British wines next to French ones.
C.Inviting customers to play music.
D.Filling the store with the smell of fresh bread.
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“... they make their own bread each morning and then fan the bread smell into the store throughout the day.”可知,商家知道烤面包的味道对顾客的感官有诱惑力,于是他们就整天用风扇把面包味吹进商店。
42.What is the California builder's story intended to prove?
A.The house structure is a key factor customers consider.
B.The more costly the house is, the better it sells.
C.An ocean view is much to the customers' taste.
D.A good first impression increases sales.
解析:选D 推理判断题。最后一段中的a California builder这个故事是一个例子,用来说明前面的内容,因此根据该例子前面的”in the first few seconds”可知应该选择D项。该段主要是说顾客在进店的头几秒钟就会做出是否购买的决定,因此良好的第一印象自然会有助于增加销量。
43.What is the main purpose of the passage?
A.To explain how businesses turn people into their customers.
B.To introduce how businesses have grown from the past.
C.To report researches on customer behavior.
D.To show dishonest business practices.
解析:选A 写作目的题。文章第一段就点明了主题。本文主要介绍的是商家是通过哪些手段吸引顾客的,因此答案选A。文章虽然提到了古埃及,但并不是介绍商家是如何从过去发展而来的,因此B项不对;文章主要聚焦在商家的一些做法上,因此C项有误;D项的dishonest一词与全文的基调不一致,文章只是客观介绍,并没有暗示商家不诚实。
学习目标 ——题后把脉规律,练后得法理解更透
写作目的技法(2)——分析文章结构,推断写作目的
在一篇文章中,作者一般不直接表明自己的目的,而是通过文章所提供的事实,客观地使读者信服某种想法或观点。因此考生在解答写作目的题时,不但能理解文章的大意,同时还要具备对作者阐述问题的方法进行分析和归纳总结的能力。
一般来说,通过分析文章的行文结构,理解的文章中的文字表述、上下文的逻辑关系及事物的发展变化等已知的信息,可以推断出作者的写作意图。如上文第43题,文章先介绍在古埃及,一个店主发现他可以通过改变商店的环境来吸引顾客,接下来介绍了商家吸引顾客的手段。我们可以得知,本文的行文结构为“总分型”,文章的写作意图在开头部分。因此答案选A项。
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2019·广西三市联考)The next generation of artificial intelligence (AI) may be sitting right beneath you, at least if furniture maker IKEA has any say in the matter. The Swedish furniture company's “futureliving” research lab in Copenhagen is conducting a survey to understand what people want when it comes to smart furniture.
AI is now walking into more aspects of people's daily lives. Selfdriving cars are just around the corner, and AI robots can play and beat the best players of strategy games. As smart home technologies have become more ubiquitous,_products ranging from smart electrical outlets (电源插座) to smart smoke alarms are flooding the market. Therefore, it's not surprising that IKEA would be moving in the same direction.
Exactly why people would want their sofa or bed frame to speak to them, track their daily movements or offer help is not yet clear. Though IKEA's new survey doesn't directly answer that question, it does provide a hint of what people would feel comfortable with. Most participants wanted a more humanlike form of virtual (虚拟的) assistants, as opposed to one that is more robotic. In terms of the ideal gender (性别) of the assistants, the most popular choice was neither male nor female. Few wanted a religious form of AI.
Just as with human friends, most wanted AI friends that were like them, affirming their own world view. They wanted an AI assistant that was reasonably intelligent — that could collect data to predict what a person wanted before he or she asked, and that could prevent someone from making mistakes.
This is not the first time that IKEA has set foot in the field of futuristic technologies. In addition to wireless charging tables and chainless bikes that never rust (生锈), the furniture giant has also pictured smart kitchens that can cook the best meal. To decide on how intelligent you want your next sofa or bookshelf to be, you can take IKEA's survey online.
语篇解读:本文是一篇科普说明文,主要介绍了瑞典家具公司IKEA涉足的智能家具的情况。随着科技的发展,人工智能产品层出不穷,IKEA公司就顾客对智能家具的期望做了调查。
1.What does the underlined word “ubiquitous” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Beautiful. B.Common.
C.Normal. D.Environmental.
解析:选B 词义猜测题。根据第二段第三句中的“products ranging from smart electrical outlets (电源插座) to smart smoke alarms are flooding the market”可知,从智能电源插座到智能烟雾警报器等各种智能产品充斥着市场。据此可以判断,智能家居产品已经变得更加普遍,画线词意为“十分普遍的”,故B项正确。
2.What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A.The differences between robotlike and humanlike assistants.
B.What form of AI assistants people want.
C.What kind of friends people want.
D.The popular robots on the market.
解析:选B 段落大意题。通读第三段可知,该段第三、四句“Most participants wanted a more humanlike form ... neither male nor female”点明该段主题;据此可知,大多数参与者想要更人性化的人工智能助手,而不是呆板机械的机器人。故该段主要介绍了人们想要什么样的人工智能助手,故B项正确。
3.Most people who received the survey wanted an AI assistant that could ________.
A.help them become smarter
B.communicate with them without troubles
C.have its own world view
D.deal with their problems in advance
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据第四段第二句“They wanted an AI assistant that was reasonably intelligent ... from making mistakes”可知,人们想要的是能预先帮助他们处理好问题的人工智能助手,故D项正确。
4.Which of the following products are from IKEA?
A.Smart sofas that can speak to you.
B.Smart beds that can track your daily movements.
C.Wireless charging cars.
D.Rustless bikes without chains.
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据最后一段第二句“In addition to wireless charging tables and chainless bikes that never rust (生锈), the furniture giant has also pictured smart kitchens that can cook the best meal”可知,除了无线充电台和无链条的不生锈自行车以外,该家具巨头还设想了能烹饪美食的智能厨房。据此可知,D项正确。
B
Daniel Lamplugh remembers going shopping with his dad on Black Friday. “Waking up at 6 a.m. the day after Thanksgiving is what I grew up doing,” says the University of New Orleans film student.
A lot has changed since those childhood days. Online retailers (零售商) have forced many chains out of business. Consumers are increasingly shopping with their smartphones. But a funny thing happened on the way to the future:Most shoppers are not going alldigital. Surveys show they're eager for good experiences at retail stores.
This November and December, for the first time ever, retailer websites will get more traffic from mobile users than computer users, predicts Adobe Digital Insights. “We live our lives with a combination of the physical and the digital,” says Kit Yarrow, author of the book Decoding the New Consumer Mind. “Retailers have to understand it's not a question of either/or. It's a question of combining the two.”
Heather Howe, an MBA student, said, “Consumers like shopping on their phones and online because it's more convenient and because there are more options. I went to the Vans store to try on shoes and then I actually purchased them online while I was in the store.”
While mobile sales are growing, the widest use of smartphones in stores is researching products or looking up product information (58 percent), closely followed by checking or comparing prices (54 percent), according to a survey.
“My phone plays a huge role in online shopping, because I am on the email list for all of my favorite brands, so I get many emails daily informing me of sales,” says Rachel Lynch, who works at a Boston PublicRelations Agency. “Also, a store has an app that allows me to chat with other users about the products, and read reviews. Online reviews are one of the first things I look at when I am about to buy a new product.”
“Electronics and kitchen equipment are definitely online purchases for me, since they're heavy to get home on the subway and often cheaper online,” says Michael MillerErnest, a manager in Brooklyn, N.Y.
语篇解读:本文是议论文。文章从消费者的购物习惯讨论商家应该如何应对消费习惯的不断变化。
5.What do most shoppers tend to do now?
A.Do shopping alldigitally.
B.Use computers to do online shopping.
C.Do window shopping in shopping malls.
D.Go to physical stores with their smartphones.
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Consumers are increasingly shopping with their smartphones”和“they're eager for good experiences at retail stores”及第五段可知,现今,消费者大都选择在实体店看实物,然后当即用手机在网上下单。
6.What's Kit Yarrow's suggestion for retailers?
A.Reaching both online and offline consumers.
B.Focusing on either the physical or the digital.
C.Encouraging consumers to use smartphones.
D.Providing more convenience for computer users.
解析:选A 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“We live our lives with a combination of the physical and the digital ... It's a question of combining the two”可知,Kit Yarrow建议零售商要接触线上和线下两个领域的消费者。
7.What does Heather Howe think of online stores?
A.They offer wider choices.
B.They sell high quality goods.
C.They will replace physical stores.
D.They are burning shoppers' patience.
解析:选A 推理判断题。根据第四段可知,Heather Howe认为网络商店提供更多的选择。
8.What can be inferred about Rachel Lynch's habits?
A.She buys heavy goods online.
B.She often writes users' reviews.
C.She is fond of sending producers emails.
D.She tries to learn about other users' experience.
解析:选D 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“Online reviews are one of the first things I look at when I am about to buy a new product”可知,Rachel Lynch会关注其他用户的体验。

1.differently 空格中所填单词在句中修饰谓语动词stand,因此需用different的副词形式。
2.carried carried out among 1,002 people是过去分词短语在句中作定语,修饰The survey, 分词动作carry out与逻辑主语The survey之间是被动关系。
3.careers a list of后接可数名词时,名词需用复数形式。
4.convenient 空格中所填单词在句中作宾补,需用convenience的形容词形式。
5.were made 主语stars是谓语动词动作make的承受者,需用被动语态;时间状语in the past与一般过去时连用。
6.an Phil Samuels是一位英国专家,expert以元音音素开头,故用an。
7.to from ...to ...“从……到……”是习惯搭配。
8.is 这里说的是一般性道理,用一般现在时;主语从句what people see是单数概念,谓语动词用单数。
9.who/that 关系代词who/that指代先行词a hundred others, 引导定语从句,并在从句中作主语。
10.preference 空格中所填单词在句中作show的宾语,需用prefer的名词形式。
