(2021高三下·六盘山模拟)阅读理解
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, 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 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!
1.The two questions in Paragraph l are raised to ________.
A.introduce the topic B.give two examples
C.compare different opinions D.get answers from readers
2.What does showrooming mean in the text
A.Trying in shops and buying online. B.Showing products in a room.
C.Buying something in a store. D.Shopping on the Internet.
3.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.
4.The author's attitude towards showrooming is ________.
A.critical B.neutral C.supportive D.casual
(2023高三下·赤峰模拟)阅读理解
According to a study done by University of Michigan, shopping to reduce stress was 40 times more effective at giving people a sense of control and shoppers were three times less sad than those only looking at items.
More than half of the 1,000 consumers surveyed by Credit Karma, head researcher of the study, said they have shopped to deal with feelings of stress or depression. About 48 percent of men and 31 percent of women who have stress shopping said they had purchased alcohol when stressed. About 82 percent of women spend on clothing compared to 52 percent of men. Women also lead shopping for jewellery, 42 percent, compared to 22 percent for men.
In some sense, stress shopping can actually help you live a healthier life by making sure that your blood pressure is lowered. The survey found 82 percent had only positive feelings about their purchases and that the positive mood was long-lasting. However, stress shopping, for many, could grow into a drive that uses up money, causes conflict, and therefore adds great stress to life.
Despite the in-time joy from purchases, stress shopping never proves along-lasting cure to stress or depression. Actually it needs to be avoided anyhow. Whether you're purchasing Christmas presents or buying groceries, having the items you need written down will provide you with brightness while shopping. Reward yourself for sticking to your list and you'll be more likely to commit to it.
In addition, always think about what you struggle with most financially. Do you spend too much money at the mall Eating out Vacations Make a list of where your money is going and take necessary steps to resist your desire. For example, if you spend too much money on dining out on weekends, stuff your cupboard with food on Friday. So you'll be more likely to stay in and cook. And you need to give up the need to keep up with others. Everyone's financial situation is different and comparison may lead to debt and dissatisfaction with what you already have.
5.Why does the author mention those numbers in paragraph 2
A.To explain the text. B.To attract readers.
C.To support an idea. D.To introduce a topic.
6.Which of the following may help deal with stress shopping
A.Adjusting mood. B.Recording expenses.
C.Turning to medicines. D.Comparing with others.
7.What is the author's attitude to stress shopping
A.Positive. B.Doubtful. C.Negative. D.Indifferent.
8.What is a suitable title for the text
A.Does shopping benefit us B.More stressed, women or men
C.Should we compare with others D.Can stress shopping reduce stress

Do you like shopping For shopaholics in the
UK, the place to head to used to be the “high street”. It was the place where
you could find familiar fashion brands and essential everyday items in the
centre of a town. But change in our shopping habits has taken its toll on the
British high street.
News about shops losing money and shutting is
now common. Some city-centre department stores have closed and even
long-established retailers (零售商) have
reported profit slumps. According to a recent survey, a record 2,481
shops disappeared from UK high streets last year — up by 40 percent.
As the BBC's Emma Simpson writes, things have
become a lot harder for traditional retailers in recent years. They have faced
rising costs from wages, business rates and the requirement to introduce Europe's
new data law. But the biggest threat has come from online shopping. She says
“Consumers now spend one in every five pounds online — and if businesses are
seeing 20 percent fewer sales on the shop floor, as well as their fixed costs
rising, then profit margins will be squeezed.”
While some of us like to window shop —
browsing for things to buy, only to purchase them online at a discount — the
fact is that, overall, shoppers are making fewer visits to high streets.
Eventually, town centres could become like ghost towns. If people aren't out
and about shopping, they won't use other services, like cafes, restaurants and
cinemas, which leads to job losses. The high street has also suffered from the
arrival of big shopping malls, which offer a retail experience under one roof,
with free parking, away from the bad weather!
Meanwhile, back on the high street, some shops
still exist. Analysts have said it's those that have moved away from
traditional retailing that are surviving. These include beauty salons, nail
bars and independent coffee shops — but are these kinds of shops enough to keep
the British high street open for business
(1)What do we know about “high street” according to the passage
A.It sold only fashionable daily items.
B.It has changed people's shopping habits.
C.It was a big shopping mall in downtown Britain.
D.It was the destination for people who love shopping in the UK.
(2)Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “slumps”
A.Sharp fall. B.Steady rise. C.Slow increase. D.Slight loss.
(3)What's the hardest part for traditional shop owners to run their shops
A.The rising costs from wages.
B.The boom of window shopping.
C.The popularity of shopping online,
D.The introduction of Europe's new data law.
(4)What change is taking place in the British high street at present
A.Discounts are offered to attract more consumers.
B.Parking is free of charge in time of bad weather.
C.Better service is provided to satisfy the customers.
D.Some conventional retailer turn to other businesses.

Ways to protect yourself online
People often
feel a sense of unknown and separation while on their computer. However, the
online world exposes individuals to a wide range of possible dangers. Yet, by
taking a few measures, being on the internet need not become a potential
danger.
Security
Whether you
get online to visit with loved ones, surf the web or complete financial
transactions(业务), your computer
must be secure.  13.   . However, for added protection, you must
install software that prevents viruses from infecting your device. Otherwise,
hackers may be able to also obtain your passwords and get into your online
accounts.
Password Wisdom
The more
complicated the password, the harder you make it for hackers to decode. Recommended
passwords often contain upper and lower case letters along with numbers and
symbols.  14.   . IT techs also advise that you change your
password every month or so to heighten the security.
 15.  
If shopping
online or making other financial transactions, make sure the website has safety
features. Safe websites typically have an "https" address and a
closed padlock somewhere on the page. Still, make sure the page is safe by
clicking on the padlock. There should be a security certificate displayed.
Check the "issued to" pop-up window(弹窗)to ensure that the issuance(发布)matches the
page.  16.   .
Download Dangers
When you
download a file, game or program, you are at risk for additionally getting
viruses or unwanted software.  17.   . These programs may then gain access to files
on your computer or follow your keystrokes(按键)to sites and gain access by learning your passwords.
A. Select Websites
Carefully
B. Many sites have
hidden programs within applications
C. Use with caution
when connecting your mobile devices at airports or in hotels
D. If not, you are
on a phishing site(钓鱼网站)that
will steal personal information
E. If possible,
write your passwords down and keep them in a safe place
F. When conducting business
online done, make sure to log out of the site
G. Make sure
security updates are regularly installed(安装)and the firewall is working
三、语法填空
18.(2018·南海模拟)阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容或括号内单词的正确形式。
Online shopping is coming into fashion in most cities, where people are able to make full use of the rapidly-developed internet technology. Nowadays, can we find a person    has not experienced online shopping Definitely not.
Online shopping    (welcome) by most people due to various reasons. From the perspective of consumers, it can save some time for people who don't have much spare time. Just click the mouse, and they can get whatever they want while staying at home. For the retailers, it can cut some costs for those who don't have much circulating funds.   (compare) with the traditional trade mode, they don't have to spend money in renting a house. However, there are still some    (disadvantage) in online shopping. First, a face-to-face deal makes online shopping less    (rely) and trustworthy. Second, people will lose    fun of bargain.
   is undeniable that shopping on the Internet has become an irresistible trend in modern society. It's    (true) urgent that we need to make the relative laws    the rapid growth of online shopping. Only in this way can we enjoy the pleasure and convenience of online shopping without the concern of    (cheat).
四、书面表达
19.(2020·浙江模拟)阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇 60 词左右的内容概要。
Two years
ago, Li Yuhua's daughter taught her
how to shop online. Since then, the 51-year-old farmer in Wushan has been a
regular online shopper. Shoppers like Li Yuhua
are the new target for China's ecommerce giants, including Alibaba
Group, which operates the Taobao platform,
and . Rural China added 3 million more Internet users in the first half,
taking the total number to 225 million, or 26.3%, of the country's total Internet
population of 854 million, according to a report on rural ecommerce development
released last week by the China International Electronic Commerce Center. That
helped improve rural online sales in the first half of the year by 21% to 777.1
billion yuan (US$109.6 billion), outpacing the national growth rate by 3.2
percentage points.
"However, it is a little bit early to
say that China's ecommerce battlefield is moving to rural China," said
Chen Tao, a senior analyst at consultancy Analysys. Unlike urban residents,
most rural Chinese haven't experienced ecommerce shopping. While that provides
online platforms with one of the last undeveloped markets for ecommerce,
progress has been slow due to the lack of infrastructure (基础设施) and logistics (物流) support.
To address
that problem, China's second-largest ecommerce operator, hired more
deliverymen and tested drone (无人机) delivery
services to improve service in rural China. Alibaba Group, China's largest
ecommerce player, announced in April last year that it had invested US$717
million in Huitongda Network Co., which helps to boost sales in 15,000 towns
across 18 provinces.
Another inhibiting factor in the
development of rural ecommerce is the income gap. In 2018, annual per capita
disposable income (人均可支配收入) in
rural areas was 14,600 yuan (US$2,065) compared with 39,300 yuan (US$5,559) in
cities. "Lower disposable incomes in rural areas limit the consumption,"
said analyst Chen. "It also takes time to educate rural residents to
accept ecommerce services as most of them are new to online. There is still a
long way to go to popularize online shopping in rural China."

5.考查推理判断。根据第二段“More than half of the 1,000 consumers surveyed by Credit Karma, head researcher of the study, said they have shopped to deal with feelings of stress or depression. About 48 percent of men and 31 percent of women who have stress shopping said they had purchased alcohol when stressed. About 82 percent of women spend on clothing compared to 52 percent of men. Women also lead shopping for jewellery, 42 percent, compared to 22 percent for men.”该研究的首席研究员Credit Karma调查了1000名消费者,其中超过一半的人表示,他们购物是为了应对压力或抑郁。在有压力购物的男性和女性中,约有48%和31%的人表示,他们在有压力时购买过酒精。大约82%的女性在服装上花钱,而男性的这一比例为52%。女性购买珠宝的比例也最高为42%,而男性为22%。可推知,这些数字是为了说明很多人通过购物来缓解压力,即为了支持第一段的观点——为减轻压力而购物在给人控制感方面的有效性是那些只看商品的人的40倍,购物者的悲伤程度是那些只盯着商品看的人的三倍。故选C。
6.考查细节理解。根据第四段中的“Whether you’re purchasing Christmas presents or buying groceries, having the items you need written down will provide you with brightness while shopping.”无论你是在买圣诞礼物还是在买杂货,把你需要的东西写下来都会让你在购物时头脑清醒。可知,可以记录支出帮助你应对压力购物。故选B。
7.考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“However, stress shopping, for many, could grow into a drive that uses up money, causes conflict, and therefore adds great stress to life.”然而,对许多人来说,压力购物可能会发展成一种消耗金钱、引发冲突的冲动,从而给生活增加巨大压力;以及第四段中的“Despite the in-time joy from purchases, stress shopping never proves a long-lasting cure to stress or depression. ”尽管购物带来了及时的快乐,但压力购物从未被证明是治疗压力或抑郁的持久方法。可知,作者对于压力购物是持否定态度的。故选C。
8.考查主旨大意。根据第一段“According to a study done by University of Michigan, shopping to reduce stress was 40 times more effective at giving people a sense of control and shoppers were three times less sad than those only looking at items.”根据密歇根大学的一项研究,为减轻压力而购物在给人控制感方面的有效性是那些只看商品的人的40倍,购物者的悲伤程度是那些只盯着商品看的人的三倍;以及第四段中的“Despite the in-time joy from purchases, stress shopping never proves a long-lasting cure to stress or depression. ”尽管购物带来了及时的快乐,但压力购物从未被证明是治疗压力或抑郁的持久方法。可知,本文主要讨论了压力购物是否能减轻压力。故选D。

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,讲述了网上购物的优势和劣势。
(1)考查定语从句。句意:现在你能找到没有网购体验的人吗?定语从句中先行词a person指人,从句可用who/that引导,且在从句中作主语。故填who/that。
(2)考查语态。句意:因为各种原因网上购物受到很多人欢迎。online shopping与welcome之间为被动关系,且主语为单数,故应用被动语态。故填is welcomed。

(9)考查介词。句意:随着网上贸易的迅速增长。with复合结构作伴随状语。故填with。

四、书面表达
19.(2020·浙江模拟)阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇 60 词左右的内容概要。
Two years
ago, Li Yuhua's daughter taught her
how to shop online. Since then, the 51-year-old farmer in Wushan has been a
regular online shopper. Shoppers like Li Yuhua
are the new target for China's ecommerce giants, including Alibaba
Group, which operates the Taobao platform,
and . Rural China added 3 million more Internet users in the first half,
taking the total number to 225 million, or 26.3%, of the country's total Internet
population of 854 million, according to a report on rural ecommerce development
released last week by the China International Electronic Commerce Center. That
helped improve rural online sales in the first half of the year by 21% to 777.1
billion yuan (US$109.6 billion), outpacing the national growth rate by 3.2
percentage points.
"However, it is a little bit early to
say that China's ecommerce battlefield is moving to rural China," said
Chen Tao, a senior analyst at consultancy Analysys. Unlike urban residents,
most rural Chinese haven't experienced ecommerce shopping. While that provides
online platforms with one of the last undeveloped markets for ecommerce,
progress has been slow due to the lack of infrastructure (基础设施) and logistics (物流) support.
To address
that problem, China's second-largest ecommerce operator, hired more
deliverymen and tested drone (无人机) delivery
services to improve service in rural China. Alibaba Group, China's largest
ecommerce player, announced in April last year that it had invested US$717
million in Huitongda Network Co., which helps to boost sales in 15,000 towns
across 18 provinces.
Another inhibiting factor in the
development of rural ecommerce is the income gap. In 2018, annual per capita
disposable income (人均可支配收入) in
rural areas was 14,600 yuan (US$2,065) compared with 39,300 yuan (US$5,559) in
cities. "Lower disposable incomes in rural areas limit the consumption,"
said analyst Chen. "It also takes time to educate rural residents to
accept ecommerce services as most of them are new to online. There is still a
long way to go to popularize online shopping in rural China."
【答案】 China's ecommerce giants, JD and Alibaba, are competing for rural market, as the growing rural Internet population boosts online sales. However, lacking necessary infrastructure and logistic support, rural China market develops slowly. To handle that problem, relevant measures are taken respectively to promote service and sales. Still, there remains much to be done, considering the low income and the time needed to generalize online shopping in rural areas.
【解析】【分析】本题是一篇概要写作。文章主要讲述了中国的电商巨头京东和阿里巴巴竞争农村市场,以及过程中会遇到的问题。通读全文,我们可以从以下四点对文章进行概括:随着农村网络的普及促进网上销售,中国的电商巨头京东和阿里巴巴正在竞争农村市场;然而,由于缺乏必要的基础设施和物流支持,中国农村市场发展缓慢;针对这一问题,分别采取相应的措施来存进服务和销售;但,考虑到农村地区的低收入和推广网购的必要性,还有很多工作要做。
【点评】本书面表达要点齐全,上下文连贯,使用一定数量的句式结构,让句子更加生动丰满,同时运用了许多高级词汇和固定短语,提高文章的档次,体现了对英语的熟练的驾驭能力。例如:China's ecommerce giants, JD and Alibaba, are competing for rural market, as the growing rural Internet population boosts online sales. 运用了时间状语从句;However, lacking necessary infrastructure and logistic support, rural China market develops slowly. 运用了现在分词作状语;To handle that problem, relevant measures are taken respectively to promote service and sales.运用了不定式作目的状语和被动语态。
