This section totals 20 points, two points for each question.Passage OneThe impact of e-commerce is happening in phases. In its first phase (1994-1997),

19、e-commerce was about presence: making sure that everybody had a web site, meeting the demand that every company, large or small, get out there and have at least something on the Internet. People werent quite sure why they were doing it, but they knew that they had to have an online presence. The sec

20、ond phase (1997-2000) of e-commerce was about transactions buying and selling over digital media. The focus in this phase was on order flow and gross revenue. Some of that was the matching of buyers and sellers who never would have found each other in the past. Some of it was simply taking transacti

21、ons that would have been done through paper purchase orders and saying that this business was done on the Internet, although the meaning of that change was quite insignificant. But in this phase, the announcements were all about order flow at any cost: why-sell-it-when-you-can-give-it-away business

22、models. As a result, many of the first movers in this phase such as Value America, are either gasping, have gasped their last breath, or are flailing about in a sea of red ink. Today, e-commerce is entering the third phase (2000-?), with a focus on how the Internet can impact profitability. And prof

23、itability is not about increasing gross revenues but rather increasing gross margins. We call this phase e-business, and it includes all the applications and processes enabling a company to service a business transaction. Thus, e-business is not just about e-commerce transactions or about buying and

24、 selling over the Web: its the overall strategy of redefining old business models, with the aid of technology, to maximize customer value and profits. To paraphrase Business Week: “Forget B2B and B2C, E-business is about P2P-path to profitability.( ) 1Between 1994 and 1997, companies built their web

25、 sites mainly because they .A. wanted to find more customers B. had no other things to doC. wanted to show their existence on InternetD. felt the Internet was quite interesting( ) 2In the second phase of e-commerce, companies were satisfied that they . A. have built their own web sites on InternetB.

26、 have taken some transactions through InternetC. took transactions through paper purchase ordersD. take transactions through paper purchase orders( ) 3What does “the first movers (para. 2) most probably mean? A. The first motivations for the companies to take e-commerce. B. The earliest transformati

27、on of transactions from paper orders to e-commerce. C. The first companies that have failed in the field of e-commerce. D. The earliest companies that get involved in e-commerce.( ) 4The earliest e-commerce began in the year of . A. 1994 B. 1997 C. 1999 D. 2000( ) 5What does the last sentence in the

28、 passage most probably mean? A. B2B and B2C are no longer suitable e-business models. B. The aim of taking e-business is to earn more profit. C. E-business is by no means a good way of getting profit. D. P2P is the most suitable e-business model.Passage TwoWalk into a street market anywhere from Man

29、ila to Manchester, and someone will be selling T-shirts branded with the distinctive CK logo of Calvin Klein, the New York fashion designer. If the price is very low, the T-shirts are probably fakes. Calvin Klein, like most other internationally-known fashion designers, has, for a long time, had pro

30、blems with counterfeits selling poor quality merchandise bearing his brand name. Now he is doing something about it. “As the Calvin Klein brand has become well-known, weve seen a big increase in counterfeit activity,” says Gabriella Forte, chief executive of Calvin Klein, “the better-known the brand

31、 name, the more people want to rip it off.”In the past Calvin Klein took a relatively passive approach to the counterfeit problem. The company has now got tougher by establishing a network of employees and external specialists to uncover copyright abuse. The move began with a general change in corporate strategy whereby Calvin Klein has aggressively expanded its interests outside North America. Calvin Klein has been one of the leading fashion designers in the North America market since the mid-1970s. N
