Choose the best answer for each statement or question from the four choices marked A, B, C and D, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer sheet.Questions 24-28 are based on the following passage.Passage OneThere is something apt about a social networkingwebsite winninga popularitycontest.According to industry data, Facebook overtook Google among US internet users last week, with可编辑资料 - - - 欢迎下载精品_精品资料_more visits to its pages than to the search engine. It is a moment to consider the rapid growth of a site whose 400m-plus users outnumber the populationof any single country except India and China.The industrydata come witha fewcaveats. The figures exclude visits to other Google services, such as YouTube and Google Mail. They omit searches carried out in a box on a browser toolbar. Also, the number of visits is just one measure of internet take-up: counting unique users visitors rather than visits gives a differentprofile.Still,it highlightsthe momentum behind Facebook as it displaces Googlefrom the weekly lead it has commanded on this measure since September 2022.Advertisers findFacebook appealing too. Itenables them to reach a mass audience, as television does, but with the extra benefit of much greater targeting. Consumer brands could easily extend their presence beyond the fan pages that already exist. Moreover,a social site provides consumers whovisitformuch longerthan they woulduse a search engine. So increased advertising, and perhaps ways to allow users to shop through the site, should enable Facebook to move from positive cash flow to making profits.It will need to tread carefully. There is a risk for advertisersand for the siteif Facebookmoves to become commercial ina way that users resent. Inamongst personal information, advertisements are more likely to strike a jarring note.The high-growth phase means that Facebook can take its time developing ways to increase revenues. The key must be to find ways that bring practical benefits to those who visit the site.There is an intrinsic stickiness about a site where users have assembled their own material, but if people stop updating their pages and social networking takes a new form, then winning users back is a hard task.What the data do not show is that search engines have had their day. Google's core search advertisingbusiness rebounded in the finalquarter of 2022,and the group is preparing for renewed growth. Moreover, there is a straightforwardreminder of how fragilethe fortunes of social networking sites can be: the site that Google overtook in 2022 to become most popular inthe US was MySpace which is now seeking a new role as social users have moved elsewhere.24. What is the reason for MySpace s withdrawn from the role as social networking site.A. It is overtook by other social networking site like Facebook.B. It has lost its social users.C. It has introduced in too many advertisements.D. It has become a profit-making site.25. Which of the following is NOT true.A. Facebook users outnumber that of Google.B. Yourtube is one of Google services.C. Before this week, Google had lead all other websites on the measure of visits since 2022.D. Facebook is a social networking site.26. The wordstic“kiness”in the penultimate paragraph pr obably means“ ”A. The website is dirty and making users feel uncomfortable.B. The website often brings its users into situation embarrassing.C. The website, in essence, is difficult to tackle with.可编辑资料 - - - 欢迎下载精品_精品资料_D. The website is attractive and makes users want to look at it for a long period of time27. Which of the following is not the reason that Advertisers find Facebook appealing.A. Facebook can attract a lot of audience.B. Facebook can help to target customers-to-be.C. Facebook allows more chances for the ads to be noticed.D. Facebook is able to move from positive cash flow to making profits.28. The author s attitude toward the development of Facebook is.A. positiveB. negativeC. objectiveD. Information is not enoughQuestions29-33 are based on Passage Two.Passage TwoAS EXECUTIVES from Toyota, including the firm bsoss, Akio Toyoda, squirmed before their tormentors in America Csongress this week, there was little public gloating from rival carmakers. Although it is Toyota that is currently in the dock after a crushing series of safety-related recalls across the world, competitors are only too aware that it could be their turnnext. After all, there is not a single big carmaker that has not modelled its manufacturing and supply- chain management on Toyota s “ lean production ” system.That said, there is a widespread belief within the automotive industry that Toyota is theauthor of most of its own misfortunes. In his testimony to the House oversight committee on February 24th, Mr Toyoda acknowledged that in its pursuit of growth his firm stretched its leanphilosophyclose to breakingpointand inso doingbecame “ confused a”bout some of theprinciples that first made it great: its focus on putting customer satisfaction above all else, and its ability“ to stop, think and make improvements” .James Womack, one of the authors of“ The Machine that Changed the World” , a book aboutToyota s innovations in manufacturing, dates the origin of its present woes to 2022, when it set itselfthe goal of raisingits globalmarket share from11% to 15%. The target was “ totally irrelevant to any customer ”and was “ justdrivenby ego ” h, e says. The rapid expansion, he可编辑资料 - - - 欢迎下载精品_精品资料_believes,“ meant working with a lot of unfamiliar suppliers who didnof Toyota culture.”understandtinhgave a deep可编辑资料 - - - 欢迎下载精品_精品资料_By the middleof the decade recalls of Toyota vehicles were increasing at a sufficientlyalarming rate for Mr Toyoda s predecessor, Katsuaki Watanabe, to demand a renewed emphasis on quality control. But nothing was allowed to get in the way of another albeit undeclared goal:overtaking General Motors to become the world s biggest carmaker. Even as Toyota swept past GM in 2022, the quality problems and recalls were mounting.The majority of those problems almost certainly originated not in Toyota s own factories, but in those of its suppliers. The automotive industryoperates as a complex web. The carmakersknown as original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs sit at its centre. Next come the tier-one suppliers, such as Bosch, Delphi,Denso, Continental,Valeoand Tenneco, who deliverbig integrated systems directly to the OEMs. Fanning out from them are the tier-two suppliers who provide individualparts or assembled components either directlyto the OEMor to tier-one suppliers. CTS Corp, the maker of the throttle-pedal assemblies that Toyota has identified as oneof the causes of “ unintendedaccelerationin ”some of its vehicles, is a tier-two supplier whoseautomotive business accounts for about a third of its sales.可编辑资料 - - - 欢迎下载精品_精品资料_On the outer ringof the web are the tier-three suppliers whooften make just a single component for several tier-twosuppliers. Althoughthere are literallythousands of tier-twoand tier-three suppliers around the world, their numbers have been culled over the last decade as the OEMs and the tier-one firmshave worked to consolidate their supply chains by concentrating business with a smaller number of stronger companies.Toyota revolutionised automotive supply-chain management by anointing certain suppliers as the sole source of particular components, leading to intimate collaboration with long-term partners and a sense of mutual benefit. In contrast, Western carmakers tended either to s
