In 1998 consumers could purchase virtually anything over the Internet Books, compact discs, and even stocks were available from World Wide Web sites that seemed to spring up almost daily. A few years earlier, some people had predicted that consumers accustomed to shopping in stores would be reluctant to buy things that they could not see or touch in person. For a growing number of time-starved consumers, however, shopping from their home computer was proved to be a convenient alternative to driving to the store.
A research estimated that in 1998 US consumers would purchase $ 7. 3 billion of goods over the Internet, double the 1997 total Finding a bargain was getting easier owing to the rise of online auctions and Web sites that did comparison shopping on the Internet for the best deal.
For all the consumer interest, retailing in cyberspace was still a largely unprofitable business, however. Internet pioneer Amazon.com, which began selling books in 1995 and liter branched into recorded music and videos, posted revenue of $ 153, 7 million in the third quarter, up from $ 37.9 million in the same period of 1997. Overall, however, the company’s loss widened to $ 45.2 million from $ 9.6 million, and a-nalysis did not expect the company to turn a profit until 2001. Despite the great loss, Amazon, com had a stock market value of many billions, reflecting investors’ optimism about the future of the industry Internet retailing appealed to investors because it provided an efficient means for reaching millions of consumers without having the cost of operating conventional stores with their armies of salespeople. Selling online carried its own risks, however. With so many companies competing for consumers’ attention) price competition was intense and profit margins thin or nonexistent One video retailer sold the hit movie Titanic for $ 9.99, undercutting (削价) the $ 19.99 suggested retail price and losing about $ 6 on each copy sold With Internet retailing still in its initial stage, companies seemed willing to absorb such losses in an attempt to establish a dominant market position. [br] "For all the consumer interest" (Paragraph 3) means_______.
选项
A、to the interest of all the consumers
B、for the interest of all the consumers
C、though the consumers are very much interested
D、all the consumers are much interested
答案
C
解析
文章第三段“For all the consumer interest,retailing in cyberspace was still a largely unprofitable busi-ness,”尽管所有的消费者感兴趣。但是,网络空间的零售一直还是一个巨大的不赚钱的生意。由于后面的意思做了一个转折,说是不赚钱的生意。可见,前面的句子和它的意思相反,应该是“尽管消费者感兴趣”。只有C项符合句意,所表达的意思与后文构成一个转折关系。
