段開頭的Nonetheless表明該句與首段提到的內(nèi)容有轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，而D與該句內(nèi)容相同，為本題答案。2、EstablishedbusinesspartnersarepreferredinWebbusinessbecause_____.A、theyaremorecreditablethanothersB、theyspecifytheproductstheywantC、theyhaveaccesstothecompany’sprivateintranetD、theyarecapableofconductingonlinetransactions標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A知識點(diǎn)解析：由第2段最后一句可知公司這樣做的原因是為“控制風(fēng)險(xiǎn)”，而再由上文中的reliability，trust等詞可看出風(fēng)險(xiǎn)問題是源于“信譽(yù)”問題，只有A與該段所說的核心意思相符，故選A。3、PointCastNetworkismostprobably_____.A、acompanythatdevelopsthelatestpushsoftwareB、atoolthatpromotesacompany’sonlinemarketingC、thefirstcompanythatusedanonlinepushsoftwareD、themostpopularsoftwarethathelpsacompanypush標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A知識點(diǎn)解析：第3段第4句開頭的Mostnotably表明該句提及的PointcastNetwork是說明上一句觀點(diǎn)的例子，由此可見，PointcastNetwork應(yīng)為一家開發(fā)軟件的公司，因此A為本題答案。4、Netpuristsaremostworriedthat_____.A、onlytherequestedinformationcomestothescreenB、theNetisfilledwithcommercialpromotionC、thedifferencebetweentheWebandTVwillfadeD、pushtechnologywilldominatethescreenofthecomputers標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D知識點(diǎn)解析：第3段末句開頭的That’saprospect表明前面提到的內(nèi)容就是使網(wǎng)絡(luò)凈化者覺得擔(dān)憂的問題，上文說網(wǎng)絡(luò)廣告不應(yīng)像電視那樣不請自來，由此可見，網(wǎng)絡(luò)凈化者最擔(dān)心的是以后電腦屏幕會被不請自來的廣告占據(jù)，因此D為本題答案。5、WhatdoestheauthorintendtoexpressbymentioningA?A、Itssuccessisattributedtopushstrategies.B、Itisprosperouswithoutpushstrategies.C、Itishighlyconcernedaboutthecostofcomputingpower.D、Itisagoodexampleoftheflourishingonlinebusiness.標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B知識點(diǎn)解析：末段首句中的hardlyinevitable(不是不可避免)表明有些公司不使用“推銷”策略也可取得成功，第2句以Amazon．com為例說明這個(gè)觀點(diǎn)，由此可見，B正確而A錯誤。Businesshasslowed,layoffsmount,butexecutivepaycontinuestoroar—atleastsofar.BusinessWeek'sannualsurveyfindsthatchiefexecutiveofficers(CEOs)at365ofthelargestUScompaniesgotcompensationlastyearaveraging$3.1million—up1.3percentfrom1994.Whyarethetopbossesgettinganestimated485timesthepayofatypicalfactoryworker?Thatisupfrom475timesin1999andamere42timesin1980.Onereasonmaybewhatexpertscallthe"LakeWobegoneffect".Corporateboardstendtoreckonthat"allCEOsareaboveaverage"—aplayonGarrisonKeillor'sfamouslineinhispublicradioshow,APrairieHomeCompanion,thatallthetown'schildrenare"aboveaverage".ConsultantsprovideboardswithsurveysofcorporateCEOcompensation.SincedirectorsarereluctanttoregardtheirCEOsasbelowaverage,thecompensationcommitteesofboardstendtosetpayatanabove-averagelevel.Theresult:Paylevelsgetratchetedup.DefendersoflavishCEOpayarguethereissuchastrongdemandforexperiencedCEOsthatthefreemarketforcestheirpayup.Theyfurthermaintainmostboardsstructurepaypackagestoreflectanexecutive'sperformance.Theygetpaidmoreiftheircompaniesandtheirstockdowell.Socompanieswithhigh-paidGEOsgenerategreatwealthfortheirshareholders.Butthesupposedcream-of-the-cropexecutivesdidsurprisinglypoorlyfortheirshareholdersin1999,saysScottKlinger,authorofthisreportbyaBoston-basedOrganizationUnitedforaFairEconomy.Ifaninvestorhadput$10,000apieceattheendof1999intothestockofthosecompanieswiththe10highest-paidCEOs,byyear-end2000theinvestmentwouldhaveshrunkto$8,132.If$10,000hadbeenputintotheStandard&Poor's500stocks,itwouldhavebeenworth$9,090.ToMr.Klinger,thesefindingssuggestthatthetheorythatoneperson,theCEO,isresponsibleforcreatingmostofacorporation'svalueisdeadwrong."Ittakesmanyemployeestomakeacorporationprofitable."Withprofitsdown,corporateboardsmaymakemoreefforttotameexecutivecompensation.Andexecutivesaremakinggreatereffortstoavoidpaycut.SinceCEOs,seeingtheiroptions"underwater"orworthlessbecauseoffallingstockprices,areseekingmorepayincashorinrestrictedstock.6、WhichofthefollowingstatementsistrueaboutGarrisonKeillor?A、HisideaontheCEOswasrecognizedbycorporateboards.B、OneofhislineshadbeenmodifiedtodescribetheCEOs.C、Hisplaypointedoutthat"allCEOsareaboveaverage".D、Hisradioprogramarousedthe"LakeWobegoneffect".標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B知識點(diǎn)解析：原文第2段第4句中的破折號后的內(nèi)容表明“allCEOsareaboveaverage”這一說法是對GarrisonKeillor的某句臺詞的修改，故選項(xiàng)B為本題答案。7、Accordingtothesecondparagraph,CEOs’paykeepssoaringmainlybecause_____.A、surveysindicatethatCEOsdeservehigher,payB、consultantstendtobelieveCEOsareaboveaverageC、directors’beliefgreatlyinfluencesthepaystandardD、compensationcommitteesseldomevaluatetheCEOs’ability標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C知識點(diǎn)解析：第2段最后兩句的Since…Theresult…表明這兩句之間存在著因果關(guān)系，由倒數(shù)第2句可以推斷CEOs報(bào)酬不斷上漲主要是因?yàn)槭艿蕉聜兊南敕ǖ挠绊懀x項(xiàng)C提到了董事們的想法，為本題答案。8、ScottKlingermostprobablytendstoagreethat_____.A、mostpeoplelosemoneyintheinvestmentintothestocksB、theCEOsperformancecan’tbereflectedbythevalueofstocksC、theCEOsarenottheonlyfactorthatprospersacorporationD、thepayoftheCEOsgreatlyinfluencestheprofitofaCompany標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C知識點(diǎn)解析：原文第4段倒數(shù)第2句中的…isdeadwrong表明選項(xiàng)C符合Klinger對CEOs的看法，因此選項(xiàng)C為本題答案。9、"Cream-of-the-crop"(Line1,Para.4)isclosestinmeaningto_____.A、competentB、courageousC、disappointingD、hard-working標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A知識點(diǎn)解析：從原文第4段首句中cream-of-the-crop之前的supposed以及But，didsurprisinglypoorly可以推斷cream-of-the-crop應(yīng)該與poor的意思相反，而該段主要討論CEOs的能力，因此cream-of-the-crop應(yīng)表示CEOs被認(rèn)為“能力卓著”，因此選項(xiàng)A為本題答案。10、Whichofthefollowing
