Beauty is big business in China. The country’s cosmetics market is worth $26 billion a year, making it the third-biggest in the world. Euromonitor, a research firm, believes it will grow 8% each year from now to 2017.
It would seem【C1】________then, that some of the world’s best-known brands are giving up on such an【C2】________market. This week L’Oréal of France, the world’s biggest cosmetics firm, said that it will stop selling its Garnier line of beauty products in China. This came on the【C3】________of an announcement by Revlon, an American【C4】________that it would leave the country altogether.
L’Oréal insists that this is not a step【C5】________from the Chinese market, of which it【C6】________an 11% share, but rather a【C7】________in strategy. It says it will henceforth【C8】________selling Chinese consumers its L’Oréal Paris and Maybelline New York lines. Revlon has done rather less well in China, which【C9】________a tiny share of its global【C10】________. It is said to have【C11】________a big fall in sales in recent months and【C12】________this on a slowing Chinese economy. A few years ago, when China’s annual GDP growth was in double digits and its consumers had【C13】________begun to fill their repressed desire for foreign luxury, the firms that sold it set themselves ambitious targets. Now China is coming to【C14】________a more normal emerging market: still with much potential for growth,【C15】________with no guarantee that every【C16】________foreign product entering it will get a piece of the action. Consumers are becoming more【C17】________, and are increasingly unwilling to pay extra money for all but the very best brands.
At the same time costs are high. Wages for "beauty assistants" and other saleswomen are【C18】________at double-digit rates annually. Marketing in such a huge and diverse country, are【C19】________To cap it all, Chinese cosmetics firms are quickly catching up with the foreign ones.
As the costs rise and the【C10】________slows, L’Oréal and Revlon are unlikely to be the last foreign cosmetics firms to think again about their ambitions in China.
【C20】
选项
A、speed
B、reaction
C、refund
D、growth
答案
D
解析
句首的As表示原因,后半句指出欧莱雅与露华浓不大可能是唯一会重新考量他们在中国宏伟目标的公司。as引导的两个原因由表示并列和递进关系的连词and连接,前半指出成本增加。因此可推测后半应填入和业绩相关、能让这些公司重新考虑其目标的词语,故选D项growth“增长”。A项speed“速度”,代入句中没有具体描述是什么速度减缓,故排除。B项reaction“反应”和本主题无关,文章没有提到与反应相关的情况。C项refund“退款,偿还额”尽管和金钱相关,但是与本句所描述的原因没有直接关联。
