For shopaholics, the post-Christmas period means only one thing—sales! Across the country, prices are slashed on clothing, electronics, home furnishings and more, but London is the place for serious shopping and you can certainly pick up some amazing bargains. The sales start on Boxing Day—26th December, and continue to the month of January, but the keenest bargain hunters get there early to be first through the doors. In Oxford Street queues formed outside shops ahead of pre-dawn openings for the start of their sales. At Brent Gross, in north London, more than 100 people were queuing at 3:30 a. m. for the Next clothing store’s sale which began at 4 a. m. Some people even camped outside the shops to be first in the line. Some people are taking their friends shopping with them, and buying their Christmas presents in the sale—a practical but unromantic way of making sure you get the gift you really want. For a less exciting but less stressful shopping experience, online retailers are also getting in on the act with January sales of their own. The most organized of all are those who are already doing their present shopping for next Christmas, in the January sales!
Questions 16 and 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.
16. Why do people choose London for post-Christmas shopping?
17. When did the sales start?
18. What did people buy in the sales?
选项
A、On 26th December.
B、On 26th January.
C、3:30 a. m. on 26th December.
D、3:30 a. m. on 26th January.
答案
A
解析
根据录音中提到的人们在商店开门之前就排起长队、甚至在店外露营的情景可以看出,人们对大减价商品趋之若鹜。录音中提到3:30 a.m.是开始在服装店排队的时间,而非减价活动开始的时间。录音中提到减价活动开始于节礼日(Boxing Day)12月26日,一直持续到1月份,因此正确选项为A。
