Customers scan the barcodes (条形码) of products they want to buy using their smartphones and the goods are delivered to the front door. The new “shopping window” is being launched in central London and could be rolled_out across the country.Ocado says the novel project could be a taste of the future of shopping as busy commuters (上下班往返的人) are able to order their groceries without being forced to pack and carry home their items.It comes after a similar trial by Tesco carried out in a South Korean subway. The supermarket giants created a virtual store consisting of posters of shelves stocked with goods. After the success of the trial, Tesco is reportedly planning on bringing the virtual supermarket to Britain.The Ocado wall will operate on a trial basis at the One New Change shopping centre until September 1. Customers have to download the Ocado On The Go app. before they can buy products from the “window shop”. If the trial proves successful, Ocado plans to set up new walls in other empty shop units around the UK.Ocado cofounder Jason Gissing said：“We hope this trial is a hit and, based on its success, well be looking at options around continuing this virtual windowshopping approach in other places.”Ocado spokesman Ben Lovett added: “The shop will be a printed window display featuring some of our most popular items. Barcodes underneath will let you scan the items and drop them into your basket on the app. Then you simply book a delivery and get on with your day.”Ocado has never launched a “real” store and it is the first time it has had a physical presence on the high street. A spokesman for the online grocer said 15% of Ocado orders are now placed on mobile phones.语篇解读：英国网络杂货店Ocado在伦敦设立了虚拟的购物窗，顾客只需用手机扫描想要购买的商品的条形码，商品就会被送到购物者的家中。1How do customers do shopping from the new shopping window?ABy placing an order through the Internet at home.BBy making phone calls to the shopkeepers.CBy sending text messages of goods to the suppliers.DBy scanning the barcodes with their smartphones.解析：选D。细节理解题。根据第二段可知，通过虚拟的购物窗，顾客只需用手机扫描想要购买的商品的条形码，商品就会被送到购物者的家中。2The underlined phrase “rolled out” in Paragraph 2 probably can be replaced by _.Aspread BpresentedCpressed Daccessed解析：选A。猜测词义题。根据第二段可知，目前伦敦市中心正在设立这种虚拟橱窗，它可能会慢慢遍及英国各地。对比“in central London”和“across the country”可知，“roll out”在本句中表示“传播，蔓延”。故选spread。3Which of the following statements is TRUE?AOcado has increased its sales by 15% by opening street shops.BIt was Tesco that first launched a virtual store in South Korea.COcado has many branch stores including Tesco in South Korea.DMore “shopping windows” will open in London by September 1.解析：选B。细节理解题。根据第四段的内容尤其是“It comes after a similar trial by Tesco”可知，Tesco首先在韩国地铁站设立了虚拟商店，而Ocado是在Tesco之后设立了类似的橱窗。故B项符合文意。4What do we know about Ocado?AIt only sells groceries online.BIt is a supermarket delivering goods directly.CIt has “window shops” in many British cities.DHalf of its groceries are sold on mobile phones.解析：选A。推理判断题。根据最后一段的第一句可知，Ocado从来没有创办过一个实体店。可见，Ocado只通过网络进行销售。BIts a popular dish eaten by millions of people. Its a symbol of wealth and power and is often served at weddings and banquets. Its shark fin (鱼翅) soup, a traditional Chinese dish that is served in restaurants worldwide. To satisfy the growing demand for the soup, fishermen kill as many as 70 million sharks each year just for their fins.Thats a big reason shark populations are falling fast. The numbers of the largest sharks including the famous great white shark have dropped by 90 percent since the 1950s. Scientists say that about one third of all shark species are at risk of becoming extinct.American government signed the Shark Conservation Act in January. This law bans any U. S. boat from catching or transporting sharks without their fins attached. A bill introduced in California in February would take shark conservation a step further. It would ban the sale and possession of shark fins. That would include serving shark fin soup. Hawaii passed a similar ban last year.Scientists say the practice of finning is a major cause of the collapse in shark populations. In finning, fishermen slice off the fins of live sharks and throw the bodies back into the water. Without their fins, the sharks sink to the ocean floor and die. Sharks are more vulnerable (脆弱的) to overfishing than other types of fish. They grow slowly and have fewer offspring than other fish do. Sharks are often captured and killed faster than they can repopulate the waters.Finning is also big business. Fishermen sell the fleshy fins to fish markets and producers of shark fin soup, mainly in China. A pound of fins might sell for as much as $ 200.Why should we care about protecting these fearsome meat eaters? As the top ocean predators (食肉动物), sharks keep the populations of other fish from growing too large. If sharks were to be wiped out, their usual prey would reproduce unchecked. That could throw the ocean food chain off balance.“Removing the toplevel predators in the ocean has signific
