    How Technology Pushes Down Prices

    1 Prices have fallen in the food business because of advances in food production and distribution tech-
    nology.Consumers have benefited greatly from those advances.People who predicted that the world would
    run out of food were wrong. We are producing more and more food with less and less capital.Food is there-
    fore more plentiful and cheaper than it has ever been.Spending on food compared with other goods has fallen
    for many years,and continues to drop.
    2 Supermarkets have helped push down prices mainly because of their scale.Like any big business,
    they can invest in IT systems that make them efficient. And their size allows them to buy in bulk.As super-
    markets get bigger,the prices get lower.
    3 Huge retail companies such as Wal-Mart have tremendous power and they can put pressure on pro-
    ducers to cut their margins.As a result,some producers have had to make cuts.In recent years,Unilever
    has cut its workforce by 33,000 to 245,000 and dropped lots of its minor brands as part of its"path to
    growth"strategy.Cadbury has shut nearly 20 per cent of its 133 factories and cut 10 per cent of its 55,000
    global workforce.These cuts help keep costs down,and the price of food stays low.
    4 Does cheap food make people unhealthy?Cheap food may encourage people to eat more.Food corn-
    panies certainly think that giving people more food for their money makes them buy more.Giving people bigger
    portions is an easy way of making them feel they have got a better deal.That is why portions have got larger
    and larger. In America,soft drinks came in 80z(225 g)cans in the past,then 120z(350g),and now
    come in 200z(550g)cans.If a company can sell you an 80z portion for$7,they can sell you a 120z
    portion for$8.The only extra cost to the company is the food,which probably costs 25 cents.
    5 Now companies are under pressure to stop selling bigger portions for less money.But it is hard to
    change the trend.

    Some food producers have reduced__________.
    A:their workforce
    B:huge portions
    C:large quantities
    D:their money
    E:a good bargain
    F: minor brands

    答案:D
    解析:
    文章第一段的主题句是第一句。这段主要讲食物价格下降的原因是生产和分配技术 的发展。
    文章第二段主要讲的是超级市场因为规模大,能引进先进技术,故能提供低价格的 商品。
    由文章第三段主题句“Huge retail companies...can put pressure on producers to cut theirmargins.”可知,超级零售商能迫使生产商降低商品价格。
    文章第四段讲的是,食品公司给顾客提供每份量大的商品,能很容易使顾客感觉到他 们得到了一个大的折扣,这样顾客会买更多的商品。因此每份量大的食品价格便宜。
    文章第二段提到“And their size allows them to buy in bulk.”其中in bulk = in large quantities。
    文章第三段提到“As a result, some producers have had to make cuts."make cuts的意思 是“降价”。
    文章第三段提到“Unilever...dropped lots of its minor brands...”由此可知答案为F。
    文章第四段提到“Giving people bigger portions is an easy way of making them feel they have got a better deal.”其中a better deal = a good bargain。

  • 第7题:


    A.have more sources of revenue

    D.are less affected by readership

    答案:C
    解析:
    本题考查日本报业比美国报业更稳定的原因。文中比较了美国报业和日本报业在收益来源上的差异。美国报业过度依赖广告收入,广告收入的比例高达87%,而日本报业的广告收入比例则为35%,这样的比例使得日本报业更为稳定,因此C项“不太依赖广告”为正确答案。其他三项都是原文没有的比较。故本题选C。参考译文:随着报业的广告收益和发行收益结构合理性的提升,报业的运营日趋平衡。长期以来,美国报业畸形发展,过于依赖广告收益。经济合作与发展组织称:2008年,美国报业87%的利润来自广告。而同期日本报业的广告收入比例为35%。理所应当,日本报业更为稳定。

    Practice 2  Prices have fallen in the food business because of advances in food production and distribution technology. Consumers have benefited greatly from those advances. People who predicted that the world would run out of food were wrong. We are producing more and more food with less and less capital. Food is therefore more plentiful and cheaper than it has ever been. Spending on food compared with other goods has fallen for many years, and continues to drop.  Supermarkets have helped push down prices mainly because of their scale. Like any big business, they can invest in IT systems that make them efficient. And their size allows them to buy in bulk. As supermarkets get bigger, the prices get lower.  Huge retail companies such as Wal-Mart have tremendous power and they can put pressure on producers to cut their margins. As a result, some producers have had to make cuts. In recent years, Unilever has cut its workforce by 33,000 to 245,000 and dropped lots of its minor brands as part of its “path to growth” strategy. Cadbury has shut nearly 20 per cent of its 133 factories and cut 10 per cent of its 55,000 global workforce. These cuts help keep costs down, and the price of food stays low.  Does cheap food make people unhealthy? Cheap food may encourage people to eat more. Food companies certainly think that giving people more food for their money makes them buy more. Giving people bigger portions is an easy way of making them feel they have got a better deal. That is why portions have got larger and larger. In America, soft drinks came in 8oz (225g) cans in the past, then 12oz (350g), and now come in 20oz (550g) cans. If a company can sell you an 8oz portion for $ 7, they can sell you a 12oz portion for $ 8. The only extra cost to the company is the food, which probably costs 25 cents.  Now companies are under pressure to stop selling bigger portions for less money. But it is hard to change the trend.

    正确答案:
    【参考译文】
    由于食品生产技术和分销技术的进步,食品价格已经下降。消费者从中获益很大。预测食品会用光的人们是错误的。我们正在用越来越少的成本生产越来越多的食物。食品因此也比以前更加丰富便宜。和其他的商品比,花在食品上的钱多年来一直下降,并将持续下降。
    超市由于其规模促进了价格下降。和其他商业一样,他们可以利用IT技术提高效率。其规模实现了大批量购买。随着超市变大,价格也变的更低。
    像沃尔玛这样的大零售商凭借强大的力量,给生产商施加压力来削减利润。因此,生产商不得不降价。近几年,联合利华已经裁员33000至245000人。为了战略发展还砍掉了很多小名牌。Cadbury关闭了133家工厂中的20%,全球员工55000中裁掉了10%。这些裁员都有助于降低价格,所以食品价格居低不上。
    便宜的食品不健康吗?便宜食品可能鼓励人们吃的更多。食品公司当然认为,顾客花钱能够买到更多的食品,当然还会买更多。份量大可以让顾客感觉得了便宜,这就是为什么分量越来越大的原因。在美国,软饮料过去是225克装,然后是350克装,现在是550克。如果225克装的卖7美元,他们就会给350克装的定价8美元。对于公司来说,额外成本仅仅是可能只值25美分的食物。
    现在公司不得不以价换量,但这种趋势很难改变。

  • 第14题:

    In the United States, 30 percent of the adult population has a "weight problem". To many people, the cause is obvious: we eat too much. But scientific evidence does little to support this idea. Going back to the America of 1910, we find that people were leaner than today, yet they ate more food. In those days people worked harder physically, walked more, used machines much less, and didn't watch TV.

    Several modern studies, moreover, have shown that fatter people do not eat more on average than thinner people. In fact, some investigations, such as a 1979 study of 3, 545 London office workers, report that, on balance, fat people eat less than slimmer people.

    Studies show that slim people are more active than fat people. A study by a research group at Stanford University found the following interesting fact:

    The more the man ran, the greater loss of body fat.

    The more they ran, the greater their increase in food intake.

    Thus, those who ran the most ate the most, yet lost the greatest amount of body fat.

    1、What kind of physical problem do many adult Americans have?____

    A、They are too slim.

    B、They work too hard.

    C、They are too fat.

    D、 They lost too much body fat.

    2、Based upon the statistics given in the article, suppose there are 500 adult Americans, about how many of them will have a "weight problem"?____

    A、 30.

    B、 50.

    C、100.

    D、150.

    3、Is there scientific evidence to support that eating too much is the cause of a "weight problem"?____

    A、Yes, there is plenty of evidence.

    B、Of course, there is some evidence to show this is true.

    C、There is hardly any scientific evidence to support this.

    D、We don't know because the information is not given

    4、In comparison with the adult American population today, the Americans of ____.

    A、ate more food and had more physical activities

    B、ate less food but had more activities

    C、 ate less food and had less physical exercise

    D、had more weight problems

    5、What have modern medical and scientific researches reported to us?____

    A、Fat people eat less food and are less active.

    B、 Fat people eat more food than slim people and are more active.

    C、 Fat people eat more food than slim people but are less active.

    D、 Thin people run less, but have greater increase in food intake.

    正确答案: 1. instead改为instead of instead意为“代替”“替代”,作副词用,通常位于句尾。如位于句首时常用逗号与后面阁开。instead of是介宾短语,其意与instead相同,不同之处在于它后面常接宾语,起宾语多由名词、代词、介词、短语、动词 + ing 形式充当。
    2.like改为as
    such as“例如”,后面跟所列举事物。
    3.has改为have
    advances in machines作主语,谓语应用复数,故改为have。
    4.去掉the
    done by hand用手做的。
    5.it改为them
    it这里代表electrical appliances,故应改为复数。
    6.√
    7.down改为up 根据上下文句意,这里是工资上涨而不是下降。
    8.Nevertheless改为Therefore/So
    nevertheless然而,不过。根据句意这里是因果关系。
    9.works改为work/job/jobs
    work用复数只表示作品,不表示工作,故改为单数,或是用job/jobs。
    10.international改为national 根据句意许多国家的政府在国防上花费巨资,国防是national defense。)

    正确答案:
    1.在instead和on之间加of instead of是固定结构,表示“而不是”。
    2.like改为as
    such as为固定结构,表示列举或举例。
    3.has改成have 该句主语是复数名词advances。
    4.去掉hand前面的the
    by hand手工地,用手。
    5.it改为them 此处的代词指代的应是such electrical appliances,故用them。
    6.在leads和changes之间加to或把leads改为causes
    lead to为固定结构。cause可作及物动词,后面直接跟宾语。
    7.down改成up 根据上下文可知此句意为“收入上升了,人们对吃穿的要求不一定会增加”。
    8.Nevertheless改为Therefore/Consequently 此处表达的应为因果关系,而非转折关系。
    9.works改成work/jobs
    work当“工作”讲是不可数名词,而job是可数名词。
    10.international改为national 根据上文可推断各国政府各自采取的是全国范围的防御,而非国际范围内的防御。
