It has shrunk from £1.19 billion in 2011 to £1. 12billion in 2015, according to a new report from market research company Mintel. Furthermore, the future of the market looks far from rosy, with sales expected to fall future of the market looks far from rosy, with sales expected to fall further to £1.11billion in 2016.In the last year alone, despite an increase in the UK population and a subsequent rise in the number of households, sales of toilet paper fell by 2%, with the average household reducing their toilet roll spending from £43 in 2014 to £41 in 2015.Overall, almost three in five people say they try to limit their usage of paper-including facial tissue and kitchen roll to save money. “Strength, softness and thickness remain the leading indicators ODM toilet paper quality, with just a small proportion of consumers preferring more luxurious alternatives, such as those with flower patterns or perfume,“ said Mintel analyst Jack Duckett. “These extra features are deemed unnecessary by the majority of shoppers, which probably reflects how these types of products are typically more expensive than regular toilet paper, even when on special offer.“While consunmers are spending less on toilet paper, they remain fussy-in theory at least-when it comes to paper quality. Top of Britons' toilet paper wish list is softness(57%)followed by strength(45%)and thickness(36%).One in 10 buyers rank toilet rolls made from recycled paper among their top considerations, highlighting how overall the environment is much less of a consideration for shoppers than product quality. In a challenge for manufactures, 81% of paper product users said they would consider buying recycled toilet tissue if it were comparable in quality to standard paper.46.【题干】The market sales of toilet paper have decreased because_.【选项】A.Britons have cut their spending on itB.its prices have gone up over the year|C.its quality has seen marked improvementD.Britons have developed the habit of saving【答案解析】根据题干关键词 market sales 和 toilet paper 可以定位到首段 Shoppers in the UK are spending less money on toilet paper to save money“英国的购物者减少卫生纸开支以省钱”和第三段首句 This has wiped 6% off the value of the soft tissue paper market “这使得软棉纸市场的价值下降了 6%”。has wiped off 正好对应题干 have increased。This 指代的是第二段的内容 Penny-pinching UK consumers choose cheaper products from discounters“吝啬的英国消费者从折扣商店选择更为便宜的商品”。综上所述，选 A“卫生纸市场销售额下降是因为英国人缩减这方面的开支”。【答案】A47.【题干】What does the author think of the future of the tissue paper market in the UK?【选项】A.It will expand in time.B.It will remain gloomy.C.It will experience ups and downs.D.It will recover as population grows.【答案】B【答案解析】根据题干关键词 tissue paper 可以定位到第三段首句 This has wiped 6% off the value of the soft tissue paper market in the UK.根据第三句 the future of the market looks far from rosy“市场的未来看起来远远不够乐观”。因此，本题选 B“作者认为绵纸市场的未来仍然是惨淡的”。48.【题干】What does Jack Duckett say about toilet paper?【选项】A.Special offers would promote its sales.B.Consumers are loy
