Mr Obama has set a goal of 15 exports in five years and has promised to “ get much tougher” over what it regards as unfair

13、 competition from China. Speculation is rising in Washington, DC, that the Treasury will brand China a currency “ manipulator” in its next exchange-rate report. With America s unemployment at 9.7% and the mid-term elections approaching, the appeal of China-bashing is rising in Congress, too. Several

14、 senators recently revived a mothballed demand that the Commerce Department should investigate China s currency regime as an unfair trade 16 .

Bu

24、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 One There is something apt about a social networking website winning a popularity contest. Acco

25、rding to industry data, Facebook overtook Google among US internet users last week, with 精选学习资料 - - - - - - - - - 名师归纳总结 - - - - - - -第 5 页，共 17 页6 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 population

26、 of any single country except India and China. The industry data come with a few caveats. 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 tak

27、e-up: counting unique users visitors rather than visits gives a different profile. Still, it highlights the momentum behind Facebook as it displaces Google from the weekly lead it has commanded on this measure since September 2007. Advertisers find Facebook appealing too. It enables them to reach a

28、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 who visit for much longer than they would use a search engine. So increased

29、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 advertisers and for the site if Facebook moves to become commercial in a way that users resent. In amo

30、ngst 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 stickine

31、ss 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. Googles core search advertising business rebound

32、ed in the final quarter of 2009, and the group is preparing for renewed growth. Moreover, there is a straightforward reminder of how fragile the fortunes of social networking sites can be: the site that Google overtook in 2007 to become most popular in the US was MySpace which is now seeking a new r

33、ole 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 prof

34、it-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 2007. D. Facebook is a social networking site. 26. The word “stickiness” i

35、n the penultimate paragraph probably 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. 精选学习资料 - - - - - - - - - 名师归纳总结 - - - - - - -第 6 页，共 17 页7 D. The we

36、bsite is attractive and makes users want to look at it for a long period of time 27. 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 a

37、ds to be noticed. D. Facebook is able to move from positive cash flow to making profits. 28. The authors attitude toward the development of Facebook is . A. positive B. negative C. objective D. Information is not enough Questions29-33 are based on Passage Two. Passage Two AS EXECUTIVES from Toyota,

38、including the firm s boss, Akio Toyoda, squirmed before their tormentors in America s Congress 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 onl

39、y too aware that it could be their turn next. 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 the author of mo

40、st 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 lean philosophy close to breaking point and in so doing became “ confused ” about some of the principles that first made it great

41、: 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 about Toyota s innovations in manufacturing, dates the origin of its present woes to 2002, when it

42、 set itself the goal of raising its global market share from 11% to 15%. The target was “ totally irrelevant to any customer ” and was “ just driven by ego” , he says. The rapid expansion, he believes, “ meant working with a lot of unfamiliar suppliers who didn t have a deep understanding of Toyota

43、culture.”By the middle of the decade recalls of Toyota vehicles were increasing at a sufficiently alarming 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 G

44、eneral Motors to become the world s biggest carmaker. Even as Toyota swept past GM in 2008, the quality problems and recalls were mounting. The majority of those problems almost certain ly originated not in Toyota s own factories, but in those of its suppliers. The automotive industry operates as a

45、complex web. The carmakers (known as original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs) sit at its centre. Next come the tier-one suppliers, such as Bosch, Delphi, Denso, Continental, Valeo and Tenneco, who deliver big integrated systems directly to the OEMs. Fanning out from them are the tier-two suppliers

46、 who provide individual parts or assembled components either directly to the OEM or to tier-one suppliers. (CTS Corp, the maker of the throttle-pedal assemblies that Toyota has identified as one of the causes of “ unintended acceleration” in some of its vehicles, is a tier-two supplier whose automot

47、ive business accounts for about a third of its sales.) 精选学习资料 - - - - - - - - - 名师归纳总结 - - - - - - -第 7 页，共 17 页8 On the outer ring of the web are the tier-three suppliers who often make just a single component for several tier-two suppliers. Although there are literally thousands of tier-two and ti

48、er-three suppliers around the world, their numbers have been culled over the last decade as the OEMs and the tier-one firms have worked to consolidate their supply chains by concentrating business with a smaller number of stronger companies. Toyota revolutionised automotive supply-chain management b

49、y 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 source in-house or award short contracts to the lowest bidders. The quality Toyota and i

50、ts suppliers achieved made possible the “ just in time” approach to delivering components to the assembly plant. In his book, Mr Womack quotes a Toyota supplier: “ We work without a safety net, so we can t afford to fall off the high wire. We don t. ”Most big car firms now operate in a similar way.
