山东省青岛市黄岛区2020-2021学年高二上学期英语期中考试试卷
Singles day, occurs on November 11, and it has become the world's biggest online shopping day, due to Jack Ma's particular vision of e-commerce. It is a fact that online shopping has played an important part of Chinese daily life. Below are three popular shopping sites in China:
Taobao and T-mall
Both of them are the brands of China's Alibaba group, whose founder is Jack Ma. Taobao is the biggest and the most important shopping site in China. The difference between Taobao and T-mall is that Taobao is mostly about middle, small size companies and individual merchants (商人), while T-mall only allows certified large scale corporation merchants to sell goods on it. Thus the price of goods is commonly lower on Taobao but the quality is not always guaranteed. However, T-mall is the opposite, where the majority of items are a bit more expensive but have guaranteed quality.
Jd.com
Jd.com is one of the China's biggest e-commerce companies and sells various goods, including daily necessities, food, clothes and electronics etc. Meanwhile, Jd.com sells a lot of computer parts, providing installation advice services and installation assistance services, which differ from other retailers (零售商). Also, Jd.com has its self-run delivery group, offering the best and quickest delivery service. In some cities, you can pay after goods have been delivered to your door.
Suning.com
Suning.com is a B2C online shopping platform of Suning Company, selling electronics, mobile phones, computers and books etc. Different from the aforementioned shopping sites, Suning has physical stores selling electronics across the nation and it focuses on synchronous (同步的) development of online shopping and physical shopping. Therefore, customers can see electronic products for themselves in their retail stores and then purchase it online. At the same time, Suning offers better after-sale service and immediate delivery service.
The World's Coolest Places
There's nothing wrong with a relaxing week at the beach. But travel can also be an education, a step toward empathy(共鸣) and international understanding, so for those longing to escape the crowds this summer, encounter new worlds and return with a tale, here're a few little-known travel destinations I recommend.
⒈Bikini Atoll, Marshall Islands. This coral island in the Pacific Ocean, site of nuclear weapons tests decades ago, is now brilliantly beautiful and the deserted white-sand beaches are lined with coconut palms and scattered with seashells. The island is a reminder of the redemptive(救赎的) power of time and nature. | |
⒉Potosi, Bolivia. No city in Latin America is more beautiful than Potosi, Bolivia, where Europeans discovered a huge silver mountain centuries ago. Tourists can descend(下降) the silver mines to experience extremely hot and dusty tunnels, talk to the miners, get a glimpse of life image for Bolivians there and have new empathy for the miners. | |
⒊Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe. Maybe our family start at Victoria Falls, which wets you with spray, making Niagara Falls a backyard stream. Then we rent a car and make our way to Hwange National Park, empty of people but crowded with various animals. Zimbabwe has fewer tourists than South Africa, and there's less crime as well. | |
⒋Amritsar, India. The Golden Temple, Sikhism's holiest shrine(神殿), is a delightful place to contemplate the draw of faith. A four-century-old temple set in a lake attracts Sikhs(锡克教徒) worldwide. Walking the circuit of the lake, with your head covered, and putting up in temple buildings can be a full experience. |
