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、Expand its business beyond groceries.
B、Fire 25,000 of its current employees.
C、Cut its DVD publishing business.
D、Sell the business for one pound.
答案
D
解析
本题也是考查细节信息。题目问沃尔沃斯公司近期曾试图做什么事情。录音前段提到该公司在试图以象征性的l英镑出售其业务失败以后,决定将门店的一线管理人员撤回。D“以1英镑出售业务”与录音信息相符。A中的Expand和beyondgroceries在录音后半段确有出现,但新闻里讲的是超市,而非沃尔沃斯公司在扩展。B“解雇25000名现任员工”最具干扰性,因为录音结尾说到该公司门店板块的25000名员工中将会有很多人失业,即该公司可能会解雇这些人,但请注意,录音中的many of…25,000 employees(只是25000员工的大部分)并不等同于25,000 of its current employees。发行DVD是盈利的版块,该公司不可能裁掉,故C不对。
