Passage 1
KGV is a traditional high-street music retailer. Based in Amsterdam, it has 12 stores in the Netherlands, three of which are megastores. Some years ago, it expanded into the rest of Europe and now owns 65 stores — eight of these are megastores.
The company is at present going through a difficult period. Over the last three years, profits have steadily fallen, from 450m Euros to 290m Euros. The megastores’ sales have risen by 8%, accounting for 55% of the company’s turnover, but the increased revenue has been achieved only by heavy expenditure on advertising and promotion. Fierce competition, a narrow product range and a lack of innovation are some of the reasons for KGV’s poor performance. The management is concerned, especially, that they are not exploiting the opportunities offered by selling through the Internet.
1. What kind company is KGV?
A. It is an advertising agency.
B. It is a music studio.
C. It is a consulting firm.
D. It is a high-street music retailer.
2. What does the word “turnover” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. The aggregate of worker replacements.
B. An act or result of turning over.
C. A change from a position to another.
D. The total amount of business done in a given time.
3. What can be inferred from the article?
A. KGV’s costs of promotion are high.
B. KGV’s revenue has been steadily falling.
C. The industry of music is very competitive.
D. KGV was founded in the US.
Passage 1
1.【答案】D。解析:细节题。根据第一段第一句话KGV is a traditional high-street music retailer.可知本题答案应选D. It is a high-street music retailer.
2.【答案】D。解析:词义猜测题。turnover一词所在的句子The megastores’ sales have risen by 8%, accounting for 55% of the company’s turnover.的意思为:大型商店的销售额增加了8%,占该公司turnover的55%,根据第一段最后一句可知该公司拥有65个商店,其中8个是大型商店,8个大型商店的营业额占整个公司的55%,那很显然turnover应该是公司总营业额的意思,四个选项中只有D项的释义符合,故答案选D。
3.【答案】B。解析:推断题。根据第二段前两句话The company is at present going through a difficult period. Over the last three years, profits have steadily fallen, from 450m Euros to 290m Euros.可知该公司目前正在经历困难期,过去的三年里,其利润稳步下滑,从4.5亿降到了2.9亿,由此可推知B项正确,因为利润稳步下滑的话,收入就会相应稳步下降;第二段第三句The megastores’ sales have risen by 8%, accounting for 55% of the company’s turnover, but the increased revenue has been achieved only by heavy expenditure on advertising and promotion是针对8个大型商店而言,并非针对整个公司的情况说的,故A项排除;原文说的是该行业有fierce competition(激烈的竞争),并非C项的“有竞争力”,故排除C项;根据第一段第二句中的Based in Amsterdam...可知该公司的大本营是在阿姆斯特丹,并非美国,故排除D项。
