参考答案
61.C。
本题考查第一段的主旨大意。
此种题型可以使用排除法,将各选项代入原文来验证对错。
A“脸谱网的市场崩溃已被轻而易举地制止了”,原文开篇指出,说脸谱网的市场崩溃将要结束未免太简单了.A与原文不符,故排除;
B“脸谱网增加了与报纸业之间的商务往来”,原文首段末句plusthatof…中的that指的是value,意指脸谱网自登陆纳斯达克以来,损失的价值等同于几个大型互联网企业加上大部分报业价值的总和,B与原文不符,故排除;
C“脸谱网自股票上市以来遭遇了巨大失败”,由第一段中的burned,lost等词可以推断脸谱网上市后遭遇了巨大失败,故为答案。
62.D。
事实细节题。
D‘‘已经存在很长时间了”,与定位句中remaintoday的意思相同,故为答案。
63.C。
本题考查脸谱网如何才能使其制定的股价合理,题干中的reasonable对应原文中的justify。
定位句提到,要实现接近其公开募股说明书上的较低股价,比如每股28美元,这就要求脸谱网年收益增长要高达80%,并始终保持高利润率,故答案为c。
64.A。
本段提到,脸谱网现在还未解决如何有效地在移动设备上做广告这一问题,而用手机登录其网站的用户数量却不断飙升,且文章通篇语义色彩都是消极的,故可推出此处应指脸谱网商业模式中的致命软肋,故答案为A。
65.D。
由定位句可知,脸谱网在市场上的失意不仅会影响到用户,还会影响招募和挽留天才黑客,而这些人正是扎克伯格创造力的命脉。
由此推知,脸谱网的创新力会因其市场失意而受到损害,故答案为D。

56.C。
本题考查对第一段的理解。
定位句指出“尽管我还是对Kindle的设计提不起兴趣.但较之第一代确实有了相当大的改进,还是非常不错的”,即Kindle2在设计上要优于Kindlel,故答案为C。
57.c。
本题考查作者对亚马逊的数字版权管理持反对态度的原因。
定位句提到“我不得不承认安装过程实在是太便捷了,以至于大多数Kindle用户并不介意电子书无法安装到其他设备上”,由此可知,电子书一旦安装后,不可以在其他设备上再次使用,C中的transfer,equipments分别对应定位句中的move和devices,故为答案。
58.B。
本题考查电子书的发展趋势。
定位句提到,电子书的发展趋势正在无限接近顶峰。
换言之,电子书的发展趋势很快就会接近顶峰,故B为答案。
59.A。
本题考查作者认为电子书不会造成纸质书籍消亡的原因。
定位句提到“然而,正如有些生活在CD时代却依然热爱黑胶唱片的人一样,会有少数人仍然坚定地爱着纸质书”,由此可知,仍有一部分人会坚持购买纸质书籍,故答案为A。
60.C。
本题考查纸质书的发展趋势。
由定位句可知,面向大众群体的斯泰格拉尔森式阅读将被淘汰,取而代之的是针对爱书者而设的装帧精美、数量不多的印刷本和书店。
C中的smallquantity和betterquality
分别对应原文的smallerprint,lavishlydesigned,故为答案
