资料:The personal computer was a revolution in information technology that spawned a $50 billion hardware business, with another $30 billion in software and peripherals (eg. mouse, keyboard, printer, etc.) by 1991. During its short 15 years, the industry evolved through three successive periods. During its first 5 to 6 years, it was characterized by explosive growth and multiple, small competitors vying for a piece of the market. From 1981 to 1985, the industry became a battle for standards and retail shelf space. The third era was one of increasing fragmentation. From 1986 through 1991-1992, new manufacturers from around the world grabbed from the industry leaders as new channels of distribution emerged and product innovation as well as revenue growth slowed.
During the early years of the industry, venture capital in the U.S. encouraged the entry of new firms that offered products in every conceivable shape and size. By 1980, new entrants flooded the market, prompting distinct standards and unique technical features. Almost every firm had a different configuration of hardware and software. The first PC had relatively little speed or memory. However, even these early computers allowed managers to perform tasks that were very time consuming.

What was impossible during the early years of the industry?

A.Sharing applications between machines.
B.Programming on the computer.
C.Writing contracts on the computer.
D.Buying keyboards and printers.

    【主题句】第1自然段The personal computer was a revolution in information technology that spawned a $50 billion hardware business, with another $30 billion in software and peripherals (eg. mouse, keyboard, printer, etc.) by 1991. During its short 15 years, the industry evolved through three successive periods.个人电脑是一场信息技术革命,截止到1991年,它催生了价值500亿美元的硬件业务,300亿美元的软件和周边设备(如:鼠标,键盘,打印机等等)。在短短的15年里,该行业依次经历了三个时期。
    【解析】本题的问题是“个人计算机产业什么时候开始?”。选项A意为“1981年左右”;选项B意为“1986年左右”;选项C意为“1976年左右”;选项D意为“ 1992年左右”。根据文意,1991-15=1976,故选C。

  • 第21题:

    资料:The business announced that revenues had grown by 10.2 percent year-on-year to RMB 18.264 billion ($2.748billion). However, profit fell to RMB 2.866 billion ($431.3 billion), a 17.4 percent decrease from the same period in 2015.
    Robbin li, Chairman and CEO of Baidu, said:"The challenges Baidu faced in the second quarter served as a healthy reminder to stay focused on the key drivers of growth, sustainability and leadership; delivering the best user experience and staying at the forefront of technology. As we enter the next chapter of the Internet, led by artificial intelligence, Baidu has never been better positioned to serve our users and work with our customers and partners, and change the world through technology." The business has been rocked by a series of high profits issues with its advertising business this year. Baidu was called out for its practices around selling access to forums early this year. Not long after it also agreed to overhaul the way it delivers its search ads, including the volume of ads served, after a huge public backlash saw Baidu taking some of the blame for the death of a student who died after taking experimental cancer treatment that be found from a search ad.
    The overhaul has been welcomed by the industry which believes will create a better experience, particularly on mobile.
    The business said the revenue from mobile was growing as it represented 63 percent of total revenues for the second quarter of 2016, compared to 50 percent in 2015. According to Baidu, mobile search monthly active users were 667 million for the month of June 2016, an increase of 6 per cent year-over-year. It said users of its mobile maps service grew by 13 percent and the number of activated Baidu Wallet accounts reached 80 million, representing a 131 percent year-on-year growth.

    According to the last paragraph, what action will Baidu possibly take?

    A.Modify its business strategy.
    B.Launch more marketing campaigns.
    C.Expand its business to other areas.
    D.Continue developing its mobile business.

    答案:D
    解析:
    本题考查的是细节理解。
    【关键词】last paragraph; what action; Baidu take
    【主题句】最后一个自然段The business said the revenue from mobile was growing as it represented 63 percent of total revenues for the second quarter of 2016, compared to 50 percent in 2015. 商家说,与2015年的50%相比,来自手机的收入增长了,占2016年第二季度总收入的63%。
    【解析】题目意为“根据最后一个自然段,百度很可能采取什么行动?” 选项A意为“修改其业务策略”;选项B意为“发起更多的营销活动”;选项C意为“把业务拓展到其他领域”;选项D意为“继续开展移动业务”;根据主题句可知,百度的手机收入比2015年有所增长,因此很有可能会继续开发手机业务,故选项D正确。
