五、閱讀測驗 (10% 每題 2 分) (V. Reading Comprehension)

Passage: Convenience stores’ primary function has been as an efficient, accessible shopping, enabling purchasers to buy one or two items within minutes. This results in a lot of visits from each person, but each one lasts just a few minutes and the average spend is low. In the words of one industry expert, “Convenience stores need to squeeze out every dime from existing shoppers. They already reach a very high proportion of the population and their shopping frequency is high, so the challenge is how to attract these shoppers to stay longer and spend more?” An important innovation was the introduction of seating areas, to allow customers to sit down in the store and consume their meals, snacks, and drinks, while reading or relaxing, alone or with friends. This has resulted in them becoming popular hangouts, for everyone from suited businesspeople conducting meetings, to students using the free Wi-Fi to watch soap operas. One customer told the Wall Street Journal: “Unlike coffee shops, they won’t ask you to leave if you stay too long!” Equally, these seating areas serve as a local meeting place for older residents or as a place where people can sit down alone without feeling awkward or out of place. The introduction of seating areas has led to the ongoing upgrading of the in-store environment and a gradual move away from a uniform appearance. An example of the new innovation is 7-11’s store in Hengshan Village in Hsinchu, with its “sakura” theme, where customers inside the store can watch the small trains of the Neiwan branch line passing by cherry trees in full bloom during flower season. Family Mart has also devised various themes for store designs, such as forests and a coffee-shop style to offer customers a richer experience. Each store has a unique character, so people may be inspired to visit it not just for shopping but also to enjoy the atmosphere. Over the past 40 years, the convenience store has become a necessary feature of Taiwanese daily life and has revolutionized shopping behavior. The intense competition between the leading players has resulted in regular shifts in the nature of the stores and the offer. The retailers will keep experimenting with their mix of products, services and store formats, each seeking to serve the customer better and build a stronger connection with their shoppers.

  1. What’s the purpose of this passage? (A) To educate the shoppers not to fall into the traps of convenience stores. (B) To indicate the shrinking revenues of convenience stores due to the competition between retailers. (C) To explain the reasons why the shopping frequency of shoppers becomes lower and lower. (D) To introduce the innovations that convenience stores use to promote shoppers’ willingness of buying products. [答案選： D]

  2. According to the passage, which of the following statements about convenience stores is TRUE? (A) Shoppers usually spend lots of money at the convenience stores. The amount is always higher than they have expected due to the promoting strategies. (B) The introduction of seating areas has resulted in the upgrading of the in-store environment and a gradual change from a uniform appearance. (C) The older people prefer to stay at coffee shops rather than convenience stores when they need places to meet friends. (D) Family Mart has devised various themes such as cherry blossoms for store designs to attract shoppers to visit the stores more. [答案選： B]

  3. What does the word “They” in the second paragraph refer to? (A) Convenience stores (B) Experts (C) Shoppers (D) Dimes [答案選： A]

  4. Which of the following is closet in meaning to the word “revolutionized” in the last paragraph? (A) transformed (B) targeted (C) released (D) represented [答案選： A]

  5. Which of the following is NOT the example showing the ways how convenience stores attract customers in the reading? (A) The introduction of seating areas allows customers to sit down in the stores and consume their meals and snacks. (B) 7-11’s store in Hengshan Village in Hsinchu, decorated with “sakura” theme welcomes customers to watch the small trains of the Neiwan branch line passing by cherry trees in full bloom during flower season inside the store. (C) Family Mart stores blend various themes for store designs, hoping to offer customers a richer experience. (D) Family Mart stores in Hsinchu have the decorations of jasmine during flower season.

Passage: The Hungarian Parliament building, located on the Danube bank, is an iconic building of Budapest’s World Heritage. Lavishly decorated both inside and outside, it was inspired by the Houses of Parliament in London, so the neo-Gothic style is dominant, but it also bears Renaissance and Baroque features. Today it is the third largest parliament in the world, built to commemorate the 1000th anniversary of the founding of the Hungarian state. No expense was spared during its construction work, so about 40 kg of 23 carat gold was used. The Parliament building features a mix of architectural styles and themes: it was built based on a Baroque floor plan; the façade evokes the world of Gothic style and the decoration of the ceiling shows the features of Renaissance. On either side of the dome, the lower and upper Chambers of Parliament are identical in design, symbolically indicating that the two houses have equal rights. The building is divided into four floors, with a floor area of almost 18000 square meters. The facade is decorated with 90 stone sculptures representing great figures of Hungarian history. Inside the building, there are 10 internal lightwells, 14 lifts and hundreds of offices. The red carpet running through the building is almost 3 kilometers long.
