14．Group-buying in China
Modeled after US hot website Groupon．com，group buying websites are now popular in China．These websites use the power of group buying to get competitive discounts （打折）for a daily deal on some best stuff to do，see，eat and buy in the cities across China．Discounts are available within just one click．Zhao lei，a software engineer in Beijing，loves the one-hour lunch break at noon，as it is the best time for him to check"today′s special"at his favorite group buying websites．Sometimes he searches for great deals at directory sites devoted to the new shopping space．Zhao spends around 800yuan（$117.65）on group buying every month，mostly to buy food coupons （優(yōu)惠劵）for eating at some nice restaurants and occasionally to find something fun to do．"I love group buying．In addition to the competitive discounts it offers，it helps me get something fun，exciting and new，and such surprises give me a reason to try something new，"he said．When he finds a really good bargain，he will send the link to friends or colleagues through MSN，QQ，or e-mail，or share the information at some social networking websites．In doing so，he often gets a certain cut off the price．At some sites，buyers are invited to leave notes about what they want to buy and the website will consider it if similar applications（申請）reach a certain number．That is how Zuo got her digital camera after waiting for two months．"It is cool．I want to buy a new digitgal camera for my trip to Switzerland this winter，but I never expected such cheap prices!"Zuo said．

分析 本文通過介紹Zhaoleid的網(wǎng)購生活來介紹了中國流行的網(wǎng)購的一種模式----團購．團購是模仿美國Groupon網(wǎng)站進行的一種網(wǎng)上銷售方式，這些網(wǎng)站通過大批量的銷售可以獲利，同時購買者也可以享受到一定的折扣和單獨購買得不到的優(yōu)質服務．

解答 28．D 細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章首段Modeled after US hot website Groupon．com，group buying websites are now popular in China．可知團購在中國非常受歡迎，選D．
29．C 推理判斷題．根據(jù)首段中Discounts are available within just one click．以及Zhaolei．所說的內(nèi)容"…In addition to the competitive discounts it offers，it helps me get something fun，exciting and new，…，"判斷他發(fā)現(xiàn)網(wǎng)上團購非常方便而且還可以享受很多優(yōu)惠，選C．
30．B主旨大意題．根據(jù)文章標題Group-buying in China 以及文章內(nèi)容可知本文主要介紹的是中國的網(wǎng)上團購，選B．
31．C 細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文中When he finds a really good bargain，he will send the link to friends or colleagues through MSN，QQ，or e-mail，or share the information at some social networking websites．In doing so，he often gets a certain cut off the price．可知他通過給別人發(fā)送鏈接，對商品進行宣傳可以得到價格優(yōu)惠，選C．

點評 閱讀理解題測試考生在閱讀基礎上的邏輯推理能力，要求考生根據(jù)文章所述事件的邏輯關系，對未說明的趨勢或結局作出合理的推斷；或根據(jù)作者所闡述的觀點理論，對文章未涉及的現(xiàn)象、事例給以解釋．考生首先要仔細閱讀短文，完整了解信息，準確把握作者觀點．

19．Five years ago，David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day．"I was a clothes addict．"he jokes．"I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled．"Today David wears casual clothes-khaki pants and a sports shirt-to the office．He hardly ever wears a necktie．"I am working harder than ever．"David says，"and I need to feel comfortable．"
More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work．In the United States，the change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual．In the early 1990s，many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday （but only on Friday）．This became known as"dress-down Friday"or"casual Friday"．"What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for employees has really become an everyday thing．"said business consultant Maisly Jones．
Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes？One reason is that it's easier for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code．""A lot of young people don't want to dress up for work，"says the owner of a software company，"so it's hard to hire people if you have a conservative（保守的）dress code．"Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes．In a study conducted by Levi Strauss and Company，85percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employee morale（心境，士氣）．Only 4percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative influence on productivity．Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps them save money．"Suits are expensive，if you have to wear one every day，"one person said．"For the same amount of money，you can buy a lot more casual clothes．"

33．David Smith refers to himself as having been"a clothes addict，"becauseC．
A．he often wore khaki pants and a sports shirt
B．he couldn't stand a clean appearance
C．he wanted his clothes to look neat all the time
D．he didn't want to spend much money on clothes
34．David Smith wears casual clothes now，becauseA．
A．they make him feel at ease when working
B．he cannot afford to buy expensive clothes
C．he looks handsome in casual clothes
D．he no longer works for any company
35．In this passage，the following advantages of casual office wear are mentioned EXCEPTB．
A．saving employees'money
B．making employees more attractive
C．improving employees'motivation
D．making employees happier．
