問題詳情:
Supermarkets are trying out new computers that make shopping carts more intelligent(具備智慧的).They will help shoppers find paper cups or toilet soap, and keep a record of the bill.
The touch-screen devices(觸控式螢幕裝置) are on show at the Food Marketing Institute’s exhibition here this week, “These devices are able to create value and get you around the store quicker,” said Michael Alexander, manager of Springboard Retail Networks Inc., which makes a smart cart computer called the Concierge.
Canadian stores will test the Concierge in July.A similar device, IBM’s “Shopping Buddy”, has recently been test-marketed at Stop & Shop stores in <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 />
Neither device tells you how many fat grams or calories are in your cart, but they will flash you with items on sale.The idea is to make it easier for people to buy, not to have second thoughts that maybe you should put something back on the shelf.
“The whole model is driven by advertisers’ need to get in front of shoppers,” said Alexander.“They’re not watching 30-second TV ads anymore.”
People can use a home computer to make their shopping lists.Once at the store, a shopper can use a preferred customer card to start a system(系統) that will organize the trip around the store.If you’re looking for toothpicks, you type in the word or pick it from a list, and a map will appear on the screen showing where you are and where you can find them.
The device also keeps a record of what you buy.When you’re finished, the device figures out your bill.Then you go to the checker or place your card into a self-checkout stand and pay.
The new computerized shopping assistants don’t come cheap.The Buddy devices will cost the average store about $160,000, and the Concierge will cost stores about $500 for each device.

A.supermarkets B.shop assistants C.shopping carts D.shop managers

a.Start the system. b.Make a shopping list.

B.the Concierge is cheaper than the Buddy devices
C.shop assistants with computer knowledge are well paid
D.average stores prefer the Concierge to the Buddy devices

【回答】
53 C
解析:由上下文可以看出“they”指的是“computerized shopping carts”。
54B
解析:細節理解題。由倒數第三段的描述可以確定這種智慧購物推車的使用順序
55A
解析:本題易錯選 B。文中說這種智慧裝置“don’tcome cheap”,可以確定 A 是對的。而文中最後一句話是指“一家超市要裝備齊全 The Buddy devices一般共需花費 160,000,而 The Concierge則是配備一臺購物手推車就需 500,一家店得裝備許多臺才行”
56C
解析:主題思想理解題。文章第一句話既是本文的核心句(the key sentence)。而 B項只是舉的兩個例項。
知識點:科普環保類閱讀
