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.
【C17】
选项
A、sensitive
B、complicated
C、sophisticated
D、optimistic
答案
C
解析
本句后半部分承前说明除了很好的品牌,他们不再愿意为其他产品多付钱(unwilling to pay extra money for au but the very best brands),说明消费者越来越成熟和理智了。因此选C项sophisticated“老练的,变得世故的”。消费者不再愿意多花钱不能说是敏感了或者是变复杂了,所以A项sensitive、B项complicated可排除。D项optimistic“乐观的”不能解释为何不愿意为其他产品多付钱。
