Falling demand for \\
1.What is a pop-up shop?(C)
A. An online shop that pops up when you click on a link.
B. A shop that pops up on TV commercials.
C. A shop that conducts temporary business.
D. A shop that operates for a long time.
解析：推断题。原文第三段提到了start-up retail businesses taking short term leases (零售业采用短期租赁)，以及后文中提到Between October and January vacancies went down, partly on the back of more pop-up shops. Since then, temporary lets have not become permanent lets．(在10月至1月之间，空置率降低，部分原因是更多pop-up shops的出现。从那以后，临时出租就没有变成永久性租赁。)由此推断pop-up shops进行的是短期的、临时性商业贸易，即“决闪商店”，“品牌游击店”。故选C项“进行临时性贸易活动的商店”。
2.Which of the following months witnesses the lowest retail vacancy rates?(D)
A. February.
B. May.
C. April.
D. November.
解析：推断题。题干：下列哪个月份的零售空置率最低?原文第四段中Between October and January vacancies went down (在10月至1月之间，空置率降低)，并且下一段中because of a surge in popularity of pop-up shops in the run-up to Christmas 2015, 2016 was the first year where vacancy figures had been affected by the closure of some of that type of unit．(由于快闪商店在2015年圣诞节前夕受欢迎程度激增，从2016年开始，空置率受到部分此类门店关闭的影响)，所以结合上述两点，在10月份和1月份之间，又在圣诞节前夕，四个选项中，应当选择D，November(11月份)最恰当。
3.What is the correct understanding of Wehrle’s observation?(C)
A. Closing down some of the pop-up shops resulted in a decline in vacancy rates in 2016.
B. 2016 was the first year that saw the surge in the popularity of pop-up shops.
C. Shortly before Christmas 2015, people started to favor pop-up shops.
D. High retail vacancy rates result from low turnover rate of pop-up shops.
解析：细节题。原文第五段中because of a surge in popularity of pop-up shops in the run-up to Christmas 2015 (快闪商店在2015年圣诞节前夕受欢迎程度激增)，由此可知，C项正确。而其他三个选项：A项关闭一部分快闪商店导致了2016年空置率的降低，与逻辑不符，应当是导致升高。B项2016年是见证快闪商店受欢迎程度激增的第一年，与文章事实不符，文章指出的是2015年圣诞节前，受欢迎程度激增。D项高零售空置率是由快闪商店的低周转率导致的。文中未提及。
4.Which of the following is NOT true about pop-up shops?(B)
A. They offer litmus test for novel business models.
B. They are all established by start-up businesses.
C. They are conducive to promoting the popularity of products.
D. They are promoted to revitalize retail businesses after economic recession.
解析：推断题。根据文章第六段最后一句“…start as a pop-up, which tend to take six month leases on shops to test out a new business concept, or as a marketing stunt for established brands．”可知，快闪商店是测试一种新商业理念的方法，也是品牌公司营销的一种噱头，由此推断出，A项“快闪商店为新颖的商业模式提供立见分晓的检验办法。”和C项“快闪商店有益于营销商品”正确：根据文章第七段“The phenomenon was promoted by TV retail consultant Mary Portas and the then-communities minister Eric Pickles as a way to regenerate high streets in the aftermath of the 2008 recession．”可知，快闪商店是2008年经济衰退之后重新使大街繁荣起来的一种方式，也就是快闪商店能够振兴零售经济，所以D项正确。而B项“快闪商店都是初创公司创立的。”过于绝对，且文中说它也是已经建立的品牌公司营销的一种噱头，所以不一定都是初创公司建立的，故B项错误，题干要求选择错误选项，故本题选B。
5.What would be most helpful to reduce vacancy rates?(C)
A. To encourage new businesses to start more pop-up shops.
B. To close down pop-up shops.
C. To convert pop-up shops into permanent ones.
D. To build fewer premises.
解析：推断题。题干问最有效的降低空置率的方法。A项“鼓励新公司开办更多的快闪商店”和D项“少建一些门店”在文中没有提到，所以排除；B项“关闭一些快闪商店”，根据文章可知，正是因为大量快闪商店的关门导致了空置率的上升，所以B项排除；C项“使快闪商店转变成永久型的商店”，根据文章第三段“The rise to 10.1％ from 9.6％ in April 2016, is being partly blamed on start-up retail businesses taking short term leases, but then failing to convert them into l
