Cyber Monday Clicks in with Record Sales
Cyber Monday rocked while mobile sales roared.
The day widely regarded as the Super Bowl of online sales created a record day for retailers, including Walmart, and marked a shift in shopping preferences as smartphones and tablets drove nearly a third of traffic — and for some retailers, more than half.
Walmart.com expects to register its biggest Cyber Monday yet, coming off a record Black Friday weekend online. Heading into the afternoon Monday, the website had already sold out of PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles, which weren't even discounted. Significant savings on TVs and tablets also encouraged shopping, says Joel Anderson, CEO of Walmart.com.
Retailers from Target to Sears are fast evolving Cyber Monday into something more akin to Cyber Week, as online deals stretch well beyond Monday.
As of 6 p.m. ET, sales on Amazon were up 44.3% over last year, while sales at eBay were up 32.1%, according to Channel Advisor, which tracks third-party sellers on eBay and Amazon. The online marketplaces are doing well in part because shoppers are heading to those sites to find popular products that are selling out at regular retailers, says Scot Wingo, CEO of Channel Advisor.
Flash-sale site Rue La La started Cyber Monday deals on Sunday with a “Cyberthon” that drew more than 350,000 people to the site. The sale promoted as much as 80% off on more than 150 brands. On Monday, sales of Cole Haan and Pandora Jewelry merchandise were strongest, CEO Steve Davis says.

解析:
1. 这是一道细节题。短文第二段的第一句提及的是smartphones and tablets“智能手机和平板电脑”,personal computer“个人电脑”排除在外,所以答案是C。
2. 这是一道细节题。短文第三段都是谈论Walmart.com“沃尔玛公司”,第二句的“the
website” 就指的是该公司,所以答案是B。
3. 这是一道细节题。短文第五段第一句according to Channel Advisor显示是“根据畅路销 公司报告”,所以答案是C。
4. 这是一道细节题。短文最后一段第一句提到,“限时抢购网站Rue La La在周日就以‘网 购马拉松'开始了网购星期一交易,其吸引了超过三十五万人到网站购物”,所以答案是A。
5. 这是一道推断题。根据短文第五段…Channel Advisor,which tracks third-party sellers on eBay and Amazon(……畅路销,其在易趣和亚马逊网站上跟踪第三方卖家)推断,Channel Advisor与沃尔玛公司和西尔斯公司不一样,不是在线零售商,所以答案是B。
