　　Consumer Behaviour

　　0 The consumer is the focus of all retail business and it is important to appreciate how

　　00 consumers are influenced in their buying decisions. Most of consumers, before making a

　　34 purchase, gather information and evaluate with the alternatives, but the extent to which

　　35 they look for information depends on the type of purchase. For example, in the case of

　　36 routine grocery purchases most consumers respond to automatically. However, for

　　37 purchases where the risk of making the wrong decision is greater, like buying a new

　　38 car, so the search for information is more important. The decision to purchase is never a

　　39 single decision but a number of these separate decisions, and at any time during this

　　40 process, consumers can change their minds about and choose an alternative route. For

　　41 example, although a consumer may have decided where to buy a product only to realise

　　42 at the last moment that this is, in fact, having the wrong choice. The price in the store may

　　43 be too high or the staff unhelpful. On the other hand, a lack of queues, favourable credit

　　44 facilities and efficient staff all lead to a too positive impression, so retailers should

　　45 remember how difficulties in these areas that can affect a sale or even lose a customer permanently.

　　《Consumer Behaviour》，消費(fèi)者行為。文章分析了一些影響消費(fèi)者行為的因素。

　　34題，evaluate是及物動(dòng)詞，后面直接接賓語(yǔ)。evaluate the alternatives，評(píng)估替代的選擇。with多余。

　　35題，正確的

　　36題，如果是respond to，后面應(yīng)該要接賓語(yǔ)，而這里的respond to后面的是副詞，所以直接用respond表示反應(yīng)，to是多余的。

　　37題，正確的

　　38題，這里并沒有因果關(guān)系。完整的句子是這樣的：for purchases where the risk of making the wrong decision is greater,(so)the search for information is more important.意思風(fēng)險(xiǎn)越大，收集信息越重要。so是多余的。

　　39題，separate decision是和前面的single decision相對(duì)應(yīng)說(shuō)的，并沒有特別指代，所以代詞these在這里是多余的。

　　40題，change their minds，改變他們的注意，about多余。

　　41題，這個(gè)句子并沒有轉(zhuǎn)折的意思，完整的是a consumer may have decided where to buy a product only to realize at the last moment that this is the wrong decision。連詞although是多余的。

　　42題，從上面的完整句子可以看出，已經(jīng)有了謂語(yǔ)is，having是多余的。

　　43題，正確的。

　　44題，too是副詞，后面不能跟著來(lái)修飾名詞，只能是too positive。而從這里的句子的意思來(lái)看，是說(shuō)好的設(shè)備和高效率的員工可以帶來(lái)一個(gè)好的印象。所以too是多余的。

　　45題，that引導(dǎo)從句。而這個(gè)句子主謂賓很齊全，that前面是主語(yǔ)，affect是謂語(yǔ)，后面是賓語(yǔ)，不是從句，所以that多余。
