Woolworths is one of the best known names on the British High Street. It’s been in business nearly a century. Many of its 800 stores are likely to close following the company’s decision to call in administrators after an attempt to sell the business for a token £1 failed.
The company has huge debts. The immediate cause for the collapse has been Britain’s slide toward recession, which has cut into consumer spending. However, the business had been in trouble for years.
Known for low-priced general goods, Woolworths has struggled in the face of competition from supermarkets expanding beyond groceries and a new generation of internet retailers.
Many of the store group’s 25,000 employees are likely to lose their jobs. Some profitable areas such as the DVD publishing business will survive.
3. What do we learn about Woolworths from the news report?
4. What did Woolworths attempt to do recently?
选项
A、It is likely to close many of its stores.
B、It is known for the quality of its goods.
C、It remains competitive in the recession.
D、It will expand its online retail business.
答案
A
解析
本题考查细节信息。本篇新闻讲的是沃尔沃斯公司(Woolworths)的情况,开篇不久就说到该公司800家门店中有很多可能会关闭(Many of its800 stores are likely to close),A“它很可能会关闭许多门店”与录音内容相符,为本题答案。录音中后部分提到沃尔沃斯公司素以“廉价杂货”出名,并非B所说的“它以商品质量著称”。录音中段提到,导致沃尔沃斯公司垮掉的直接原因是英国的经济衰退,C“它在经济衰退中仍保有竞争力”与报道事实相悖。录音说到,沃尔沃斯公司在面对来自超市和互联网零售商的竞争时都已经举步维艰,更别说要扩展网上零售业务了,故排除D“它会扩展其网络零售业务”。
