21、These years traveling abroad is becoming more and more popular with ordinary Chinese people. If you want to enjoy such a wonderful travel, your travelling abroad truly requires the most careful of preparations. 【1】 This is a short list of some necessary things you should not forget to bring as you fly to a foreign land.
Passport. First, be sure to bring your passport along with several copies of it. Accidentally losing your passport can be a difficult experience you should always try to avoid. You may keep digital copies of this important document for backup purposes, too. 【2】
Guidebook. Staying in an unfamiliar place doesn’t have to be a headache with the help of a nice guidebook. This one provides you with maps and information you can use as you move from one place to another.
Extra clothes. While travelling, “lightly” is always highly recommended; never make the mistake of bringing lesser than what you actually need. 【3】 This is a safety precaution that you can do to make sure that you have something to wear just in case your luggage is unknowingly lost.
Medicines. Make it a point to take good care of your health while you are away. Bring enough medicines because some of them may not be available outside your country.
【4】.For example, you should get as much information as you can about the country such as its local laws, culture, weather conditions, and more. This will allow you to fit in and make any necessary adjustments. 【5】 That’s because they’re very attractive to thieves. The same rule applies to devices such as cameras, smart phones, laptop computers and others.
A．Bringing cash is also must.
B．And when going outdoors, try not to wear expensive jewelry.
C．Also, try researching about the safety of the specific area you will visiting.
D．What’s more, you may consider putting your extra clothes inside your carry-on.
E．Whether you’re a tourist or businessman, there are certain things you must keep in mind.
F．That way, you’ll have no problems returning to your country once your trip is over.
G．Besides these must-haves, you also have to obey certain precautions to avoid any problems.
22、There is no doubt eCommerce is growing, and it will continue to grow. However, physical stores would not die as a result of the rise of eCommerce, at least not in the near future. The idea that eCommerce is taking over physical stores has already misguided many people. Physical stores are far from vanishing, and there are some solid reasons for it.
The projections for online spending is optimistic with $150 billion expected to be spent in the coming three years, yet we are also expecting $300 billion in spending at physical stores in the same duration. Do you still think that physical-store shopping is too small to sustain the eCommerce blow?
Even though consumers are staying away from physical stores that follow older concepts, yet we are seeing the rise of fresh concept stores all around the US. We are seeing innovative and attractive success stories of physical stores, ranging from clothes stores to restaurants to health spas. It would be easy to assume that this trend will continue.
Indeed, many shopping malls are dying, yet there are still those shopping centers that are performing well. You can see this for yourself by visiting shopping malls near you. What I want to emphasize here is that not all shopping centers are made equal, just like not all eCommerce retailers are made equal. Both shopping malls and eCommerce sites can lose business if they fail to maintain productivity through improvements and innovations. When you visit shopping centers that are serious about their business, you would see their shops and parking lots packed.
On the other hand, even e-tailers like Amazon have experimented with pop-up shopping concepts. It is important to bear in mind that consumers prefer face-to-face interactions instead of online interactions during shopping, meaning that physical stores are going to stay there.
Still, eCommerce retailers are seeing all of their excitement disappear as they settle the sales tax problem associated with e-tailing. As of now, five states of America have already imposed sales tax on purchases through eCommerce sites, and e-tailers in those states have already witnessed 6 to 12 percent decrease in sales.
This reinforces the fact that physical stores are here to stay, and if you are still undervaluing their growth, you are omitting a huge chunk of the retail representation.
【1】The underlined word "projections" in Paragraph 2 probably means____.
A．intentions
B．assessments
C．performances
D．predictions
【2】What can we infer from the passage?
A．E-tailers are more creative businesses.
B．Fresh concepts help build good business.
C．Fewer consumers will visit physical stores.
D．Physical stores can’t stand the blow of eCommerce.
【3】What is the best title for this passage?
A．Is Offline Spending Greater Than Online Spending?
B．Online Stores V.S. Physical Stores — What’s the Difference?
C．Will Physical Stores replace eCommerce in the Near Future？
D．Does eCommerce Success Mean Physical Stores Will Disappear?
【4】Which of the following shows the development of the passage?
CP: Central Point P: Point Sp: Sub-point (次要点) C: Conclusion
A．
B．
C．
D．
23、High-Wire Act
Mickey Wilson had been on the mountain only a few seconds when he heard the scream. Wilson, 28 years old, had just gotten off the cable car (索道缆车) at the Arapahoe Basin Ski Area in Keystone, Colorado, along with his friends Billy Simmons and Hans Mueller. Their friend Richard had been on the cable car ahead of them, but when the men reached the top of the lift, he had disappeared. The men walked toward the source of the scream and found skiers stopped on the slope, pointing to the cable car. And then the friends screamed too.
“Oh, Richard!” yelled Mueller.
When Richard had tried to jump off the cable car, his backpack had been caught in the chair, which then dragged him back down the hill. In the process, the backpack belt twisted around his neck, making him breathless. Now Richard’s body was swinging four feet above the snow. The cable car operator had quickly stopped it, and the friends kicked off their skis and ran toward the scene. They made a human pyramid to try to reach Richard, but the unconscious man was too far off the ground. With the clock ticking, Wilson ran to the ladder of a nearby lift tower. Scared skiers watched as he struggled the 25 feet. After he reached the top, Wilson’s first challenge was to climb onto the two-inch steel cable that held the chairs. He handled the balance and height bravely, but he knew he could not walk on the cable. Therefore, he calmed down and sat over it and then used his hands to pull himself to Richard quickly. Wilson’s greatest fear wasn’t that he’d fall, but that he wouldn’t reach Richard. “This was life or death,” he said.
When he reached Richard’s chair, Wilson swung a leg over the cable and attempted to drop down onto it. But as he did that, his jacket caught on the movable footrest, which was in the up position. The footrest began to slide down, with Wilson attached. But before that could happen, he managed to free himself and reached Richard.
Fortunately, the ski patrol (巡查) had gathered below and performed emergency treatment on Richard, who had been hanging for about five minutes, then skied him down to an ambulance.
That night, Richard called from the hospital to express his thanks to Wilson, his other friends and the workers at the Arapahoe Basin Ski Area.
