Napoleon once described Britain as “a nation of shopkeepers“, but since the 1960s the traditional corner shop has been

25、 slowly disappearing. The neighbourhood comer shop used to sell everything a housewife needed and the shopkeeper was an important person in the local community. The shop itself was a focus of community life, a place to chat as well as shop, in the days when Britons knew their local baker, local groc

26、er and local butcher personally. So what happened to the comer shop?2. Shopping patterns changed dramatically in the 1970s and 1980s and the customers changed too. Shops began to get bigger and the owners opened more branches in different towns, each branch selling the same goods and offering cheape

27、r prices than the local comer shop. The smaller shops closed as these large “chains“ of shops took over. Customers liked the chains as they were self-service, offered a wider range of goods and introduced credit cards for customers. People in Britain now like shopping at a “name“ they know, because

28、they can be sure of the quality.3. The very large retailers have such an enormous number of stores that they are called multiple retailers. During the “economic boom“ of the 1980s the multiples developed superstores, offering an even wider choice of goods at even cheaper prices, on the edge of towns

29、 where giant shopping complexes often grew up around them.4. Now that most Britons are car-owners they are prepared to travel further to shop, and like the choice offered by big stores. Most people are now paid monthly and prefer to buy in bulk once a month. The self-service and late-night shopping

30、at superstores is convenient for the many women who work during the week. The corner shop is now empty during the day and people tend to use their local shops only in emergencies, if they have “forgotten“ to buy something.5. Corner shops are no longer profitable in the face of competition from the “

31、giants“. Britain could now be described as a nation of multiple retailers. Who could hope to survive and compete against their enormous choice and cheap prices? Supporters of the corner shop say they prefer to pay higher prices because they get a friendlier and more personal service. Others shop the

32、re because they have no choicethe elderly or disabled, people without cars and young mothers with small children for whom a trip to a superstore would take a lot of planning and effortbut they are in the minority. Unfortunately for small shopkeepers, the majority of customers prefer speed and choice

33、 to the personal service of their local shops.Questions 9-13For questions 9-13, choose from the list A-G which best summarizes each part of the article.For each numberedparagraph (1-5), mark one letter (A-G) on the Answer Sheet.Do not mark any letter twice.

38、 Sheet.The Big Easy on the BrinkA Category 5 hurricane would come barreling out of the Gulf of Mexico, It would cause Lake Pontchartrain, north of New Orleans, to overflow, pouring down millions of gallons of water on the city. Then things would really get ugly. Evacuation routes would be blocked. B

39、uildings would collapse. Chemicals and hazardous waste would dissolve, turning the floodwaters into a lethal soup. In the end, what was left of the city might not be worth saving. “Theres concern it would essentially destroy New Orleans,“ says Suhayda, a water-resources expert at Louisiana State Uni

40、versity.New Orleans has always had a complicated relationship with the water surrounding it. Everyone told the first settlers this was the wrong place to build a city. It is wedged precariously between the mighty Mississippi and Lake Pontchartrain, and most of it was once swampland. Aggravating the

41、problem is the fact that much of New Orleans is below sea level, so that after a good rain, the water just settles in. There is now a decent pumping system, which helps. Old-timers, however, still talk of the days when, after a bad storm, bodies were washed out of the cemeteries.What is threatening

42、New Orleans is a combination of two man-made problems: more levees and fewer wetlands. The levees installed along the Mississippi to protect the city from water surges have had an annoying effect: they have actually make it more vulnerable to flooding. Thats because New Orleans has been kept in plac

43、e by the precarious balance of two opposing forces. Because the city is constructed on 100 feet of soft silt, sand and clay, it naturally “subsides“, or sinks, several feet a century. Historically, that subsidence has been counteracted by sedimentation: new silt, sand and clay that are deposited whe

44、n the river floods. But since the levees went up-mostly after the great flood of 1927the river has not been flooding and sedimentation has stopped.New Orleans other major man-made problem is that its wetlands and its low-lying barrier islands are disappearing. The Louisiana coast is losingl6,000 acr

45、es of wetland each year, mostly as a result of population expansion into once pristine areas, destructive oil and gas drilling, pollution and land loss through lack of sedimentation. As it turns out, wetland, and barrier islands arent just nice to look at; they are also a key natural barrier to hurr

46、icanes. (Every 2.7miles of wetland absorbs a foot of storm surge.) As the wetlands go, the chance of a hurricane blowing the city away grows.So far, little has been done to save the city. However, while the grimmest of the doomsayers warn that New Orleans could be next Atlantis, some laid-back resid

47、ents are saying that it could just as easily become the next Venice and that after the flood, the good times wont rolltheyll float.（分数：14.00）(1).New Orleans was not a good place to build a city because _.（分数：2.00）A.it was far away from other big citiesB.it was surrounded with giant riversC.it was ugly lookingD.most of it was wetland(2).After a heavy rain the water settles in New Orleans becaused _.（分数：2.00）A.it doesnt have a pumping systemB.it lies below sea levelC.there is too much water in it
