6.Robert Ilijason,a 39-year-old IT specialist,once had to drive 20minutes with his screaming baby in the backseat to an open grocery store to buy food for his hungry son.It was the late-night experience that gave Robert Ilijason the idea to open Sweden's first unstaffed convenience store.
Now Robert Ilijason runs a 24-hour shop with no cashier.Customers use their cell phones to unlock the door and scan their purchases.All they need to do is to register for the service and download an app.They get charged for their purchases each month.
The shop has basics like milk,bread,sugar,canned food and other products that you expect to find in a small convenience store.But it doesn't have tobacco or medical drugs because of the risk of theft.Alcohol cannot be sold in convenience stores in Sweden.
The no-service store has more advantages.Raymond Arvidsson,a friend of Ilijason's,did his shopping in less than a minute."No queues,"he said,smiling."Quick in,quick out.I like."
"My ambition is to spread this idea to other villages and small towns,"said Ilijason."It is incredible that no one has thought of this before."He hopes the savings of having no staff will help bring back small stores to the countryside.
But a bigger challenge has been facing some of the elderly residents in Viken.Tuve Nilsson,75,said there were many more shops in the town when he moved here with his family in 1976.He welcomed Ilijason's new store,saying it could be convenient for elderly people living alone.But he didn't know how to get the hang of the technology involved.
Ilijason is considering other ways to unlock the door that wouldn't require using an app.He's ruled out face-recognition or fingerprint scanners,but is thinking of installing a credit card reader like some banks use.He's also considering having one person man the store for a few hours a day to help customers who aren't comfortable with modern technology.
21.Robert Ilijason's late-night experience is mentioned to tell usA.
A.why he opened the unstaffed food shop
B.how to open the unstaffed food shop
C.how to look after the hungry children
D.a(chǎn)n open grocery store is very important
22.What can we know about Robert Ilijason's first unstaffed food shop?C
A.It charges customers for nothing.
B.Customers can purchase goods in cash
C.What customers need is a phone        
D.Customers can buy whatever they want.
23.From what Raymond Arvidsson said,we learn the shop is well known forD.
A.its wonderful food          
B.its kind service
C.its good safety              
D.its quick purchase
24.It can be inferred from the passage thatD.
A.Ilijason's store has no disadvantages
B.a(chǎn)ll the customers are not comfortable with modern technology
C.Ilijason will not open another kind of this no-service store
D.face-recognition will be dismissed in Ilijason's new store.

分析 本文講述了Robert Ilijason在瑞士開的一家沒有店員,只需要手機(jī)開門支付的店以及他對這個店的改建想法.

解答 21.A.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.由第一段It was the late-night experience that gave Robert Ilijason the idea to open Sweden's first unstaffed convenience store,正是深夜的經(jīng)歷讓Robert Ilijason有了開瑞典第一個沒有店員的便利店的想法.可知選A.
22.C.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.由第二段Customers use their cell phones to unlock the door and scan their purchases,客戶使用他們的手機(jī)解鎖門并掃描購買,可知只需要手機(jī)即可,故選C.
23.D.理解推斷題.由第四段Raymond Arvidsson,a friend of Ilijason's,did his shopping in less than a minute."No queues,"he said,smiling."Quick in,quick out.I like,可知在這里購買不需要派對,快速進(jìn)來、出去,故選D.
24.D.理解推斷題.由最后一段He's ruled out face-recognition or fingerprint scanners,可知他在考慮新商店不適用人臉識別技術(shù),故選D..

點(diǎn)評 本篇內(nèi)容比較適中,對于考生的能力要求不高,只要認(rèn)真細(xì)致閱讀,不難發(fā)現(xiàn)答案.可以先看題目再讀文章,這樣可以提高閱讀的速度.還要準(zhǔn)確定位考點(diǎn).特別是推理題,要結(jié)合上下文的暗示做題,掌握方法是關(guān)鍵.

Never use the phone.(54)C.

Never use a cell phone.

A.But you can reduce those chances by following these safety rules.
B.But it is very important for us to learn about lighting.

14.JAMES shook his money box again.Nothing!He carefully counted the coins that lay on the bed.All that he had was  24.52.The bicycle he wanted was at least  90!How on earth (究竟) was he going to get the rest of the money?
He knew that his friends all had bicycles.It was hard to hang out with people when you were the only one without a bicycle.He thought about what he could do.There was no point asking his parents,for he knew they had no extra money.
