48.A

49.B

50.C【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了如何選擇一個品牌名稱的幾點建議。【47題詳解】根據(jù)空前的“Talktoanyoneínthebusinessworldandtheywilltellyouthatagoodadvertisingcampaigncanonlygetyousofar”可知，與商界的任何人交談，他們都會告訴你，一個好的廣告活動只能讓你走到目前為止，此處承接上文，講的是如果你想更進一步應(yīng)該采取的做法，同時空后的one指代的就是E項中的abrandname，所以選E(要想得更遠，你需要一個人們會記住的品牌名稱,這將使你的產(chǎn)品或公司脫穎而出)?！?8題詳解】根據(jù)空前的“Thebiggestoreisifyoulaterdecidetoexpandyourbusinesstootherareas”可知，最大的問題是你以后是否決定將業(yè)務(wù)擴展到其他領(lǐng)域，此處是對前面的舉例說明，所以選A（很明顯，如果你想擴展到餐飲或美食領(lǐng)域，“皮特面包店”將不再是一個好的公司名稱）。【49題詳解】根據(jù)空前的“ThinkofAdidasorKellogg'—whentheysetuptheircompanies,AdiDasslerandWlliamKelloggwereunknownbuttheyhavebeensosuccessfulthattheirnameshavebecomeworld-famousbrands”可知，想想阿迪達斯或凱洛格——當他們成立自己的公司時，阿迪達斯勒和沃利安凱洛格并不為人所知，但他們非常成功，以至于他們的名字已經(jīng)成為世界知名品牌，這是成功的一面，此處還是承接這個話題，并與之形成轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，講的是用人名給品牌命名的缺點，所以選B（當然，這樣做的缺點是，在人們知道你之前，潛在的客戶可能很難找到你）?！?0題詳解】空前提到了用縮寫或是組合名稱給品牌命名的方法，此處總結(jié)上文，講的是選擇這兩種方法應(yīng)該注意的事項，所以選C（無論你采取哪種方法，都不要急于選擇你的品牌）。【點睛】在六選四解題過程中，空格上下文出現(xiàn)的代詞的指代關(guān)系往往是重要線索，例如本篇第1題，根據(jù)空前的“Talktoanyoneínthebusinessworldandtheywilltellyouthatagoodadvertisingcampaigncanonlygetyousofar”可知，與商界的任何人交談，他們都會告訴你，一個好的廣告活動只能讓你走到目前為止，此處承接上文，講的是如果你想更進一步應(yīng)該采取的做法，同時空后的one表明空處應(yīng)該會出現(xiàn)一個對應(yīng)上文話題的名詞或名詞性短語，one指代的就是E項中的abrandname，所以選E(要想得更遠，你需要一個人們會記住的品牌名稱,這將使你的產(chǎn)品或公司脫穎而出)。
