12、Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. (40 points)20 Rarely have the Christmas results for Britain s supermarkets been awaited with such anxiety. Most of them, especially the market leader, Tesco, struggled in 2014. The hard-discount stores, Ald
13、i and Lidl, continued to undercut them, gobbling up market share, while falling food prices ate into their profits.Asdas boss, Andrew Clarke, has warned of more challenging times ahead. Yet the lesson from these results is clear. Grocers with a clearly defined position in the market will continue to
14、 prosper, but for those without one there is more pain to come. Thus Waitrose, for instance, has remained resolutely and distinctly posh. It has refused to chase the upstart discounters by reducing prices, as mid-market rivals have done.Natalie Berg of Planet Retail, a research organization argues t
15、hat the key to survival in a ferociously competitive groceries market is to offer the customer a brand that is “clear, targeted and consistent.“ Waitrose, at the top end of the market, does this well, as do Lidl and Aldi at the bottom.

It will also muddy perceptions of who their target customers really are.But it is not all gloom for the supermarkets. A more clement economic environment shou

18、over the Christmas period compared with a year ago. Most of the supermarkets are trying out new digital gizmos to make shopping easier. Waitrose is experimenting with a home-scanning device called Hiku. This will allow people to scan barcodes on Waitrose products at home to add them to their online
19、shopping basket.There are grounds for optimism even at Tesco, argues Bryan Roberts, an analyst at Kantar Retail. For a couple of years its stores in London have done better than those in the rest of the country. Store managers in the capital have enjoyed more autonomy to fill their shelves with prod

Devolution seems simple, but effective.21 Which of the following is NOT Aldi and Lidi have done to most of Britains supermarkets?(A)Undercut them.(B) Ate into their profits.(C) Gobbled up their market share.(D)Made their food costs increa
