1.What is the first thing you notice when you walk into a shop?The products displayed(展示)at the entrance?Or the soft background music?
But have you ever noticed the smell?Unless it is bad,the answer is likely to be no.But while a shop's scent may not be outstanding compared with sights and sounds,it is certainly there.And it is providing to be an increasing powerful tool in encouraging people to purchase.
A brand store has become famous for its distinctive scent which floats through the fairly dark hall and out to the entrance,Via scent machines.A smell may be attractive but it may not just be used for freshening air.One sports goods company once reposed that when it first introduced scent into its stores,customers'intension to purchase increased by 80percent.
When it comes to the best shopping streets in Pairs,scent is just as important to a brand's success as the quality of its window displays and goods on sales.That is mainly because shopping is a very different experience to what it used to be.
Some years ago,the focus for brand name shopping was on a few people with sales assistants'disproving attitude and don't-touch-what-you-can't afford displays.Now the rise of electronic commerce(e-commerce)has opened up famous brands to a wider audience.But while e-shops can use sights and sounds,only bricks-and-mortar stores(實體店)can offer a full experience from the minute customers step through the door to the moment they leave.Another brand store seeks to be much more than a shop,but rather a destination.And scent is just one way to achieve this.
Now a famous store uses complex man-made smell to make sure that the soft scent of baby powder floats through the kid department,and coconut(椰子)scent in the swimsuit section.A department store has even opened a new lab,inviting customers on a journey into the store's windows to smell books,pots and drawers,in search of their perfect scent.

分析 章介紹了采用香味提高銷售量的理念.文章講述了香味對于傳統(tǒng)實體店的影響.各大品牌店都加強了味覺對顧客消費欲求的刺激,并根據(jù)商品不同調節(jié)香味.
解答 32.C 細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第二段的"But while a shop's scent may not beoutstanding compared with sights and sounds,And it is providing to be an increasing powerfultool in encouraging people to purchase"可知,雖然與視覺和聲音相比,商店的氣味可能并不突出,但它是鼓勵人們購買的一個日益強大的工具.所以此句中的it指的是前面的scent.指獨特的香味,故選C.
33.B 推理判斷題.根據(jù)第五段的"while e-shops …only bricks-and-mortar stores (實體店) canoffer a full experience"可知,雖然網(wǎng)上可以使用圖片和聲音,但只有實體店才能提供完整的購物體驗,即強調傳統(tǒng)實體店的優(yōu)勢.故選B.
34.A 詞義猜測題.根據(jù)Another brand store seeks to be much more than a shop,butrather a destination.可知,另一個品牌店不僅僅是一家商店,更是一個destination."destination"的本意是目的地,這里指不僅是購物的地方,更多的是一種購物的完整體驗,有視覺、聽覺和味覺的多重享受.所以是顧客喜歡去的地方,故選A.
35.B 主旨大意題.這篇文章主要是談論香味對購物者心理的影響,是一篇說明文,所以重在介紹和解釋香味對于實體店的影響.A項意為對比和評估,對比談到了,而評價涉及較少;C項意為爭辯和討論,沒有批評靶子的情況下,這種說法不成立.D意為檢測和評估,科學檢測意味太濃,跟本文大意不符.本文只是介紹和解釋了"香味",故選B.
點評 本文是政治經(jīng)濟類閱讀,主要考查細節(jié)理解題和推理判斷題.在做細節(jié)理解題時,首先根據(jù)題目要求迅速在文章里找出相應的段落、句子或短語.認真比較選項和文中細節(jié)的區(qū)別,在做推理判斷題時不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實,要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.
