    Internet Shopping

    Internet shopping is a new way of shopping. Nowadays,you can shop for just about anything from your armchair. All you need is a computer which is linked to the Internet. Shopping on the Internet is becoming increasingly popular. In the United States,people spent over U.S. $2.5 billion on Internet shopping in 1998.This figure is expected to reach U.S.$11 billion by the year 2004.
    People can shop for a variety of products on the Internet.Physical products include items such as books,CDs,clothes and foods.These types of products are the most common purchases through the Internet.You can also buy information products such as on-line news or magazine stories,or you can download computer software through the Internet.Services such as booking airline tickets,reser-ving hotels or renting cars are also available on the Internet.You can also go shopping on the Inter-net for entertainment services and take part in on-line games.
    Internet shopping offers a number of benefits for the shopper. The most important advantage is convenience.You can shop whenever you like as the on-line shops are open 24 hours a day and you don't have to queue with other shoppers at the check-out counters.Secondly,it is easy to find what you are looking for on the Internet.Even out-of-print books may be ordered on line.Finally,it is often cheaper to buy goods through the Internet,and you can tell the shop exactly what you want.
    The main disadvantage of Internet shopping is that you cannot actually see the products you are buying or check their quality.Also,many people enjoy shopping in the city and miss the opportunity to talk to friends.Some people are worried about paying for goods using credit cards,so Internet companies are now finding ways to make on-line payment safe.
    Internet shopping is sure to become more and more popular in the years ahead.It promises to change the way we buy all kinds of things一from tonight's dinner to a new car.

    The most proper title for this passage is"_________".
    A:People Enjoy Many Ways of Shopping
    B:The Advantages and Disadvantages of Internet Shopping
    C:The Bright Future of Internet Shopping
    D:A New Way of Shopping一Internet Shopping

    答案:D
    解析:
    本题为细节题。文章第二段阐述了网上购物的种类,不仅可以买到诸如书、CD、衣服等物质产品,还可以买到在线新闻、杂志、软件等信息产品,甚至还有娱乐服务和网络游戏等。其中提到:"You can also buy information products such as on-line news or magazine stones,or you can download computer software through the Internet.”即“on-line news and maga-zine stories”属于“information products",所以选D。 A项文章未提及;目前网上已提供在线新闻和杂志故事,排除B项;这些新闻杂志是需要购买的,并不能免费下载,排除C项。
    本题为细节题。第三段第一、二句话:"Internet shopping offers a number of benefits for the shopper.The most important advantage is convenience.”即最大的优势是便利。选项A和B虽然也是网上购物的好处,但不是最重要的;选项C不是网上购物的好处之一,而是网上购物的一个弊端,即不能检查商品的质量。
    本题为细节题。第四段提到了网上购物的主要缺点,包括:不能看到实物并检查质量,排除A;不能享受购物的乐趣,排除C;使用信用卡的不安全性,排除D。选项B 意为“顾客不能检查所购商品的数量”,而文中提到的是不能检查商品的质量,所以符合题意。
    本题为主旨题。文章中作者围绕网络购物,阐述了网上购物的种类及其优缺点,并对其未来进行展望。所以正确答案应该是D。选项B、C都只是文章的一个方面;选项A过于宽泛。
    本题为态度题。文章最后一段说:" Internet shopping is sure to become more and more popular in the years ahead.It promises to change the way we buy all kinds of things一from tonight's dinner to a new car.”可以看出,作者对网上购物的未来持乐观态度(optimistic )。 negative(消极的)、concerned(关心的)、critical(批评的)都与文章内容不符。

    问答题
    Topic 6:Can shopping vouchers increase consumption?  Questions for Reference:  1) To stimulate consumption, which is more effective, tax reduction or shopping vouchers?  2) What are the major purposes of issuing shopping vouchers?  3) In what way can the shopping vouchers best be distributed? Shall every citizen be given the same amount of shopping vouchers or should the vouchers be limited to the lower-income people only?

    正确答案: 【参考答案】
    My name is my registration number is Today I will share with you my opinion about shopping vouchers. Shopping vouchers are now being widely used these days. Some economists have suggested that issuing shopping vouchers is a good way to tackle the economic crisis because it can stimulate consumers’ desire to purchase more commodities. Here is the question: Can shopping vouchers really increase consumption?
    As we know, the government has worked out an economic stimulus package, trying to tap the country’s huge consumption potential. For one thing, the citizens in some places have got shopping vouchers for free. Some people think that it is a pretty effective approach and will bring immediate returns because shopping vouchers have a time limit and thus will immediately promote domestic consumption. However, the truth is: numerous people having received vouchers have chosen to cash in the vouchers and saved the money instead of shopping. To some extent, it hasn’t turned out as originally planned. Why? As some critic have said, China still has a long way to go in improving the economic environment to encourage consumption by issuing shopping vouchers. People can enjoy the happiness only when they are covered by an effective social security network and enjoy higher income.
    To sum up, to stimulate Chinese residents’ consumption, the government should first guarantee a sound social security system, covering health, unemployment, education and housing, and so on. After all of these have been done, people will have enough money to spend and with the promotion of consumption, their life can be gradually improved.
