What friends and colleagues greeted each other with that day was “Bought anything today?” as they exchanged tales of bargains or disappointing news of popular items sold out minutes after the spree began at midnight.

考题 African elephants have been slaughtered at alarming rate over the past decade, largely because they are the primary source of the world's ivory． Their population has been dwindled from 1．3 million in 1979 to just 625,000 today, and the rate of killing has been accelerating in recent years because many of the older, bigger tusked animals have already been destroyed． "The poachers now must kill times as many elephants to get the same quantity of ivory," explained Curtis Bohlen, Senior vice president of the World Wildlife Fund． Though its record on the environment has been spotty so far, the government last week took the lead in a major conservation issue by imposing a ban on ivory imports into the US． The move came just four days after a consortium of conservation groups, including the World Wildlife Fund and Wildlife Conservation International, called for that kind of action, and it made the US the first nation to forbid imports of both raw and finished ivory． The ban, says Bohlen, sends a very clear message to the ivory poachers that the game is over． In the past African nations have resisted an ivory ban, but increasingly they realized that the decimation of the elephant herds poses a serious threat to their tourist business． Last month Tanzania and several other African countries called for an amendment to the 102 nation Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species that would make the ivory trade illegal worldwide． The amendment is expected to be approved at an October meeting in Geneva and to go into effect next January． But between now and then, conservationists contend, poachers may go on a rampage, killing elephants wholesale, so nations should unilaterally forbid imports right away． The US government brought that argument, and by week's end the twelve nation European Community had followed with its own ban． Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. African Elephants and the Ivory Trade B. A Bid to Save the Elephant C. The Poachers D. Elephants in Danger

考题 资料：Zhang Qiaoli uses her spare bedroom for storing her stock of ladies’ fashion-wear and photo shoots. She is one of more than five million small online stores operating across China, some from small apartments or even college dormitories. She buys dresses and accessories wholesale; at prices under $5, using the website Taobao, she sells them on as the Kitty Lover at prices under $10. Taobao is owned by Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba and the brainchild of founder Jack Ma. It is a free-to-use online marketplace with some 800 million product lines - from food to clothes to technology. Across China, online companies large and small are learning how to be effective e-commerce players - or fail like US goliath eBay , which was trounced by upstart Taobao back in 2006. In 2010, China's online shopping industry had a turnover of $80bn, and grew 87% year-on-year. China's 420 million internet users spend around a billion hours each day online - and last year, 185 million made at least one online purchase. According to Boston Consulting Group, the volume is expected to increase fourfold by 2015. E-commerce is changing the way Chinese consumers think about shopping: online, it is more social than a hard sell. It's a new engaging experience to savor. In Chinese retail, trust is a rare commodity. There are plenty of fakes online, and buyers are often cursed by scams or shoddy goods. Still, consumer faith in e-commerce stores is remarkably robust. That's because, apart from its convenien online shopping has shifted the balance of power from sellers to buyers. Online shopping in China is more than clicking on the "buy" button. The experience includes exchanging tips with other shoppers, discussing trends, and rating both products and service. The interaction and communication generates trust. “The ability of social networking combined with e-commerce or social commerce as I like to call it-where people are able to rate their providers, provide information to other purchasers-that level of experience is really overcoming the big weaknesses says Duncan Clark, Chairman of BDA（china）, an expert on China's e-commerce industry. “Basically, there is a one-to-one connection being established. And that's breaking through the mistrust barrier if you will. So I think we can learn，actually-the West can learn from some of the developments happening in the Chinese e-commerce sector," says Mr Clark. Why is consumer faith in e-commerce still faith despite the prevalent fake goods online?A.Because there are a lot more options online. B.Because consumers are gaining more power thanks to online shopping. C.Because regulations about online shopping will be improved soon. D.Because there are still many qualified goods and trustworthy online stores.

The interaction and communication generates trust. “The ability of social networking combined with e-commerce or social commerce as I like to call it-where people are able to rate their providers, provide information to other purchasers-that level of experience is really overcoming the big weaknesses says Duncan Clark, Chairman of BDA（china）, an expert on China's e-commerce industry. “Basically, there is a one-to-one connection being established.

考题 资料：2014 has been a landmark year for Alibaba. Just last week, the Chinese e-commerce juggernaut set a world-record selling US$9.3 Billion worth of goods in 24 hours on Singles Day. A few months back, Alibaba claimed the title of the world's biggest IPO, raising US$25 Billion on the NYSE. Things will only get bigger for Alibaba. On the back of the historic signing of the China-Australia Free Trade Agreement yesterday, Alibaba announced in Melbourne their continued commitment to bringing Australian products, brands and businesses closer to China's online consumers via it's Alipay payment platform and Taobao Marketplace. Alipay is the largest online payment service provider in China. With more than 800 million Chinese accounts, Alipay is already the biggest mobile payment processor in the world. It clears 80 million transactions per day, including 45 million transactions through it's Alipay Wallet mobile app and processed US$780 billion worth of transactions in the year ended June 30. Alipay is one of six financial services entities that will fall under the umbrella of Ant Financial Serviced Group, a rebranding of Alipay Financial Services. There are plans to take this money making machine public too. Alipay Australia has been established as a local entity that will work with its joint venture partner, pay bang to help Australian businesses and merchants access Alipay's cross-border payment solutions. Alipay has also been working with Australia Post to sell, distribute and promote the Alipay Purchase Card across 4,400 retail outlets for Australian shoppers to use on the Tmall.com and Taobao Marketplace platforms.

考题 资料：Zhang Qiaoli uses her spare bedroom for storing her stock of ladies’ fashion-wear and photo shoots. She is one of more than five million small online stores operating across China, some from small apartments or even college dormitories. She buys dresses and accessories wholesale; at prices under $5, using the website Taobao, she sells them on as the Kitty Lover at prices under $10. Taobao is owned by Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba and the brainchild of founder Jack Ma. It is a free-to-use online marketplace with some 800 million product lines - from food to clothes to technology. Across China, online companies large and small are learning how to be effective e-commerce players - or fail like US goliath eBay , which was trounced by upstart Taobao back in 2006. In 2010, China's online shopping industry had a turnover of $80bn, and grew 87% year-on-year. China's 420 million internet users spend around a billion hours each day online - and last year, 185 million made at least one online purchase. According to Boston Consulting Group, the volume is expected to increase fourfold by 2015. E-commerce is changing the way Chinese consumers think about shopping: online, it is more social than a hard sell. It's a new engaging experience to savor. In Chinese retail, trust is a rare commodity. There are plenty of fakes online, and buyers are often cursed by scams or shoddy goods. Still, consumer faith in e-commerce stores is remarkably robust. That's because, apart from its convenien online shopping has shifted the balance of power from sellers to buyers. Online shopping in China is more than clicking on the "buy" button. The experience includes exchanging tips with other shoppers, discussing trends, and rating both products and service.

What is the author’s attitude towards e-commerce?A.Slightly critical. B.Unbiased. C.Paradoxical. D.Fully supportive.

考题 问答题Practice 3　　The new assault on NAFTA rests on a single premise: ex- ports arc good, imports are bad. In economic terms, that’s non- sense: exporting doesn’t benefit Americans at all unless it allows them to consume more, which is what most imports arc for. As a political proposition, though the claim that exports create jobs　　while imports kill them is an easy sell. That’s why the critics fell silent during NAFTA’s first year, 1994, as US plants ran over- time to meet Mexico’s clamor for Coors beer. The collapse of Mexico’s peso last December, though, has devastated Mexico’s economy. Interests rates arc twice last year’s level, leaving mil- lions of middle-class families swamped by car loans and credit- card bills. Consumer spending has dropped by nearly a fifth, and the weak pesos means US-produced goods cost twice what they used to. Last year’s $ 8.9 billion US trade surplus with Mexico turned into a $ 3 billion deficit in the first half of 1995, and NAFTA foes adroitly seized the opening.

The US team's loss on Tuesday to Belgium averaged a 9.6 0vernight rating on ESPN, according to Nielsen, the highest for any World Cup match the network has broadcast. But a 50 per cent surge in live streaming compared with the previous record, set during the 2012 London Olympics, shows that the sport's appeal has grown particularly among younger, more digital, fans. Young people are energetic and fond of sporting. The World Cup is a great tournament of football, so they must be attractive.

Tuesday's USA vs. Belgium match peaked at 1.5m streams on ESPN and 680,000 On Univision. In comparison, live streaming of January's Super Bowl peaked at 1.1m. While the elimination of the US team leaves a question mark over US fans' interest in the rest of the tournament, Univision's audience for non-US games has been robust. Univision said its broadcast on Sunday of the Mexico vs. Netherlands match was the most-watched programme, of any kind, in US Spanish-language TV history, with an average 10.4m viewers. Its audiences have been the largest in cities with large Spanish-speaking populations, such as Miami, Los Angeles, Houston and New York. With most matches being shown during business hours, Americans are increasingly turning to their devices, such as smart phones, tablets and computers to keep up with the tournament. Fifa, football's governing body, said US fans make up 20 percent of its global digital audience and are spending more time on its website and apps than fans in Brazil, Germany, England and France combined. With different kind of electronic devices to watch World Cup, the number of audience becomes larger. The flood of demand caused some problems with ESPN's feeds, leading frustrated viewers to take to Twitter to complain about the match cutting out. That had also happened during the USA vs. Germany game.Which of the following statements is Not true?A More Americans choose to watch the World Cup by smart phones, tablets and computers than before.B After the elimination of the US team, Americans still focus on non-US games.C Most matches of the World Cup are shown during business hours.D The large demand of the World Cup has a negative effect on ESPN's feeds.
