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.
【C2】
选项
A、urgent
B、sufficient
C、soft
D、attractive
答案
D
解析
由空格前的such可知market指的是上文提到的中国市场。第一段提到中国市场价值260亿美元,是全球第三大市场,因此对于化妆品公司而言是一个极具吸引力的市场,故选D项attractive“诱人的,有吸引力的”。具有如此巨大价值的市场和A项urgent“急迫”无关。对于打算赚钱的公司而言,再大的市场也不会是B项sufficient“足够的”。C项soft和market搭配意为“不景气的市场”,与上文对中国市场的描述相反。
