【答案解析】[参考答案]
It can be seen clearly that Chinese consumers" spending on the world"s luxury goods increased from 2013 to 2014. However, compared with 2013, the consumption overseas grew while the shopping in mainland dropped in 2014.
This phenomenon can be attributed to the following factors. First, a considerable number of people in China now have the increasingly strong purchasing power of luxury goods. And they like to show others their distinguished status and promote themselves to others as successful people. Besides, overseas luxury goods are usually cheaper than those in the mainland market because they are exempt from customs duty. Last but not least, the streets are full of fake goods in China, which makes Chinese shoppers buy luxury goods overseas.
We should notice that the boom in overseas sales is to some extent at the expense of the domestic market. So Chinese shoppers" consumption behavior should be more rational in the future and the government should take strict actions to ensure the quality of products. [解析] 这两个饼状图显示了中国消费者全球奢侈品消费额的变化。通过对比发现，消费总额增长，但是境外消费所占比例增加了，本土消费所占比例减少了。考生可从中国消费者购买力增强、境外奢侈品较便宜、中国山寨货较多等角度分析原因。最后一段作总结，指出对策。
