Q1What did Canada Goose do this year?
正确答案:A
原文第二段第一句就是「公司今年又提了价」。它没有关店——本季还净增 2 家,全球共 94 家;也没有退出中国——大中华区是增长最快的地区;冬装仍是它的主业。 The company raised prices again this year.Only A is in the text. The company added shops, grew fast in China, and still sells winter coats.
Q2How fast did sales in Greater China grow?
正确答案:C
第三段给了这个数:「大中华区营收增长 32.5%」。5.9% 是全公司的营收增速,7.5% 是同店销售的跌幅,66.8% 是毛利率——四个数字都在这篇里,别混。 In Greater China, revenue rose 32.5% to 68.5 million Canadian dollars.C matches the text. 5.9 per cent is company-wide growth, 7.5 per cent is the fall in same-store sales, and 66.8 per cent is the gross margin.
Q3What does “in the red” mean?
正确答案:A
第十段说「公司仍处于亏损」,用的就是 in the red。这个词组来自记账:亏损用红笔写。其余三项分别是卖得更多、开新店、提价——提价恰恰是它这一季做的事,最容易看混。 The company is still in the red.A is the meaning. The phrase comes from accounting, where losses were written in red ink.
