阅读下面短文并回答问题,然后将答案写到答题卡相应的位置上(请注意问题后的词数要求)。
[l] We expect companies selling products to make them as available as possible. But now some of them are bringing back rationing(定量供应). As you might expect, it's all part of a plan to make us spend more, not less.
[2]Butter, bacon, sugar, tea and meat were rationed in Britain during World War II, because goods at that time were scarce, and hard to get for all. But nowadays industrial mass production . Factories all over the world are pumping out bright and beautiful objects.
[3]When everyone has to wait and save up for new things, owning them feels exciting and special. But when lovely things are available every day, they stop being a treat. The other characteristic of consumer society is that we aim for social distinction through what we own. But if everyone has lots of things, how can we impress anyone with our purchases? All of this takes the fun out of shopping and means there's a limit to how much consumerism can grow.
[4] This is deeply worrying to companies, and some of them have started to fight it, by creating artificial scarcity(短缺). For example, Swedish rapper Adam Tensta has limited access to his latest track. Only one person at a time can access it, and fans must take their place in a digital queue.
[5] This hend means we can again own something rare. But the risk for these companies is that in a world of so many things, if they make their products too hard to get, we'll just buy from someone else instead.

最佳答案
(答案→)Artificial scarcity. 解析:本文叙述了以前由于经济不够发达,所以有些东西缺乏是属于正常现象,而在现在工业发达的经济社会里,竟然也出现了某个产品紧缺的情况,原来是公司在搞人为的短缺,进而获得更大的收益。同时该公司也可能失去了一些顾客。【小题1】根据This is deeply worrying to companies, and some of them have started to fight it, by creating artificial scarcity(短缺).整篇短文的大意可知Artificial scarcity.【小题2】根据Butter, bacon, sugar, tea and meat were rationed in Britain during World War II, because goods at that time were scarce, and hard to get for all. But根据连词But表转折,可知has changed all of that/has increased a lot/has made that different.【小题3】This is deeply worrying to companies, and some of them have started to fight it, by creating artificial scarcity(短缺).这是对人为短缺的例子故选Paragraph 4.【小题4】①根据But when lovely things are available every day,故Lovely things are available every day.②根据The other characteristic of consumer society is that we aim for social distinction 故People aim for social distinction.【小题5】根据if they make their products too hard to get, we'll just buy from someone else instead. 故They may lose some customers.
