"What does the middleman do but add to the price of goods in the shops?" Such remarks are aimed at the intermediate operations between manufacturers and final customers. This practice usually attracts a lot of attention from the public and the press and the operation most talked about is what is often called wholesaling.
The wholesaler buys goods in large quantities from the manufacturers and sells them in smaller parcels to retailers, and for this service his selling price to the retailer is raised several percent higher. But his job is made more difficult by retail demand not necessarily running level with manufacturers’ production. Because he adjusts or regulates the flow of goods by holding stock until required, he frees the manufacturer, to some extent, from the effect on production of changing demand and having to bear the whole risk. The manufacturer can then keep up a steady production flow, and the retailer has no need to hold heavy stocks, who can call on the wholesaler for supplies any time. This wholesale function is like that of a valve in a water pipe. The middleman also bears part of the risk that would otherwise fall on the manufacturer and also the retailer.
The wholesaler provides a purely commercial service, for which he is too well rewarded. But the point that is missed by many people is that the wholesaler is not just someone adding to the cost of goods. It is true one could eliminate the wholesaler but one would still be left with his function: that of making sure that goods find their way to the people who want them.
Which of the following titles is most appropriate for this passage?
选项
A、The Greedy Wholesalers
B、The Wholesalers in the Public Eye
C、A Retail Market with Wholesalers
D、Can We Do Without the Wholesaler?
答案
D
解析
本题为主旨分析题。本文为“总一分一总”结构。第一段给出了批发商的定义;第二段介绍了批发商的作用;第三段进行总结,点出文章主旨,即:即使消灭批发商,其所充当的功能依然存在——确保商品找到途径到达有需求的人手中。可以推知,D项“没有批发商可以吗?”最符合文章主旨,因此,选择D项。
