43、 advertising methods are the ways to make profit on the Internet.C.Advertising on the web is paralleling advertising methods in traditional business. D.Advertising on the web attracts customers mainly by impulse shopping methods.解析：解析 根据题干将本题出处定位于第 1 段最后一句。 第 1 段开头提到，利用人的冲动性吸引人购物的传统广告方式，之后说随着互联网遍及世界
44、，同样的方法也得到了利用，即网上也使用了类似的广告方式吸引人。文章只提到网络广告方式的出现，而没有提及其是否取代了传统广告方式，而且从后文也可看出，取代是不可能的，排除 A；第 1 段没有提及“广告横幅”，故排除 B；D 的迷惑性较强，第 1 段主要说的是网络广告方式与传统广告方式在利用顾客的冲动性方面的类似性，而非“网络广告主要通过冲动性购物方式吸引顾客”，故 D 也不符合题意。(2).What does the author imply about the new methods of advertising on the Internet?（分数：14.20）A.They are and
45、 will continue to promote sales.B.They are beginning to lose their advertising efficiency.C.They are superior to other traditional methods.D.They must change over time to remain effective. 解析：解析 根据题干中的 new methods 将本题出处定位于第 4 段最后一句。 第 4 段最后一句提到，如果互联网广告要继续成为一个有利可图的商业手段，就必须考虑使用新的方法来振兴该产业。D 正是对该句的同义转述。
46、A 和 B 均与题意无关，予以排除；文中没有对新方法和传统方法进行对比，故 C 也可以排除。(3).In the last paragraph, “brick and mortar“ businesses refers to _.（分数：14.20）A.businesses that are not on the Internet B.Internet companies that do not use bannersC.older, more established businessesD.those businesses which will survive the Internet de
47、cline解析：解析 根据题干中的“brick and mortar“ businesses 将本题出处定位于最后一段第 2 句。 最后一段第 2 句中的 counterparts 一词意为“与另一方作用相当的事物；两方面地位职位相当的人(物)”。结合原文可知“brick and mortar“ businesses 应该与 Internet businesses 相对应，因而可判断“brick and mortar“ businesses 指的是那些互联网之外的商业。其他三项均不能体现这种对应关系，故排除。(4).Which of the following is true accordin
48、g to the passage?（分数：14.20）A.Internet businesses are headed decline due to the recession in Internet economy.B.Interact businesses have no chance to survive the current crisis.C.Older businesses will overcome the Internet companies in the future.D.The future of Internet business is currently unpredictable. 解析：解析 根据命题按照文章顺序进行的规律将本题出处定位于最后一段。 最后一段最后一句提到，全球性的网上购物是大势所趋，抑或仅仅是人们的一时冲动，这一切在未来的几年里将见分晓。由此可见，目前还无法预料网络商务的未来。文中没有提到网络经济的衰退，故排除A；B 和 C 都与文中提到的“这一切将在未来的几年里见分晓”相悖，故均可排除。(5).The author“s attitude towards Internet advertising appears to be one of _.（分数：14.20）A.whole-
