Text 2 Tropical rain pounds on the roof of a cavernous warehouse near Jakarta,Indonesia's capital.Inside,youngsters in orange T-shirts haul around clothes,luggage and electrical goods for Lazada,an ecommerce finn,which has just moved in.The 12,000 square metre space is three times the size of the old one,but it already looks full.Three years ago Lazada's entire stock filled a storeroom the size of a studio flat,recalls Magnus Ekbom,its twenty-something boss in Indonesia.Internet shopping accounts for less than l%of all purchases in South-East Asia-a region twice as populous as America,where the proporlion is nearly 10%.But surging smartphone use and a broadening middle class mean the market is set to multiply:perhaps five fold by 2018,reckons Frost&Sullivan,a consulting firm.Since it launched in 2012 Lazada has laid claim to six South-East Asian countries,largely unchallenged by e-commerce giants such as Amazon of the United States,Alibaba of China and Rakuten of Japan.It may soon have to fight them for its tenitory.Lazada was created by Rocket Internet,a Berlin-based investor that helps out startups designed to dominate emerging markets.Rocket still holds a 24%stake,though Lazada has now raised more than$600m from inveslors including Tesco,a Bntish grocer,and Temasek,a Singaporean sover-eign-wealth fund.These deals appear to value it at about$1.3 billion,which could well make it South-East Asia's dearesl technology firm.Like other Rocket companies,Lazada is run by a group of young European emigranLs,plucked from finance and consuhing.It seems ready to stomach years oflosses.In the first half of 2014-Lhe only recent period for which results are available-it lost$50m before interest and tax,on revenues of$60m.Again like other Rocket comparues,its critics say it is just a copycat,in this case a mere clone of Amazon.Lazada's bosses say such charges underestimate the sophistication and ambition required to succeed in places such as Thailand,Indonesia,the Philippines and Vietnam.Online marketing is trickier there than in America or Europe,because locals use a much wider variety of search and social-media sites.The region's diversity means constant adjustment of online portals to suit local languages and cultures.It also means batding a hotch potch of customs rules.We can learn from Paragraph I that______A.online shopping in Indonesia is flourishingB.the weather in Jakarta may influence shippingC.Lazada is the only e-commerce firm in JakartaD.the customers of Lazada are mostly youngsters
选项
A.online shopping in Indonesia is flourishing
B.the weather in Jakarta may influence shipping
C.Lazada is the only e-commerce firm in Jakarta
D.the customers of Lazada are mostly youngsters
答案
A
解析
推理题。[A]online shopping in Indonesia is flourishing“印尼网上购物正在兴起”;首段第三行提到e-commerce firm“电商企业”,该词提示online shopping“网上购物”;接着说电商来赞达12 000平米的仓库已满,而3年前其货物存储量仅为一室公寓大小,暗示印尼电商迅速发展,故该项正确。[B]the weather in Jakarta may influence shipping“雅加达的天气可能会影响货运”;首句提到雅加达大雨滂沱,一群年轻人正在搬运货物,但是没有提到货运会受影响,该项属于无中生有。[C]Lazada is the only e-commerce firm in Jakarta“来赞达是雅加达唯一的电商企业”;本项only-词过于绝对,而且文章首段也没有提到来赞达是否是雅加达唯一的电商,故该项错误。[D]the customers of Lazada are mostly youngsters“来赞达的顾客大多数是年轻人”;文章提到一群年轻人在搬运货物,并没有提到来赞达的顾客群体是什么人,故该项错误。综上,本题选择[A]
