W: What are you doing?
M: (8)I’m ordering some filing cabinets out of a catalog.
W: What do you need them for?
M: There’s so much stuff piling up in my dormitory room. If I don’t do something soon, I won’t be able to move in there.
W: Do you usually order from a catalog?
M: Sometimes. Why?
W: Oh, it’s just in the history class today we were talking about how the catalog sales business first got started in the US. A Chicago retailer, Montgomery Ward started it in the late 1800s.(10)It was really popular among farmers. It was difficult for them to make it to the big city stores so they ordered from catalogs.
M: Was Ward the only one in the business?
W: At first,(9)but another person named Richard Sears started his own catalog after he heard how much money Ward was making.
M: What made them so popular?
W: Farmers trusted Ward and Sears for one thing. They delivered the products the farmers paid for and even refunded the price of things the farmers weren’t satisfied with. The catalogs became so popular that in some countries school teachers even used them as textbooks.
M: (11)Textbooks?
W: Yeah,(11)students practice spelling the names and adding up the prices of things in the catalogs.
M: Was everybody that thrilled about it?
W: That’s doubtful. Say they drove some small store owners out of business. Sears and Ward sold stuff in such large quantities. They were able to undercut the prices at some small family owned stores.
8. What is the conversation mainly about?
9. Why did Richard Sears start his own business in catalog?
10. Who were the main customers of Sears and Ward’s business?
11. Why was the catalog used as textbooks?
选项
A、Because he wanted to beat Ward.
B、Because he wanted to help his brother Ward.
C、Because he thought this business was profitable.
D、Because he enjoyed competition in this business.
答案
C
解析
对话中女士说到:“在得知Ward赚了多少钱以后,另一个名叫Richard Sears的人也开展自己的邮购业务。”可见Sears是为了赚大钱,所以选C。“转折but处出题”。没有理由听不懂“how much money Ward was making”!profitable是make money的同义替换。
