第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）

第一节：（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

阅读下列短文，从每小题所给四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

A

Back in 2001, Jason Katz realized he was in trouble．His fledgling(刚开始的)website, Paltalk, was trying to make money by giving away a free service and selling advertising．

But suddenly advertising was drying up. So Katz started charging people for using his service．Guess what? Since 2004 he’s been making a profit．

It’s a mistake that a lot of bigger tech companies are making. Facebook，for example，has 250 million members，making it one of the biggest sites on the Internet．Facebook takes in somewhere between$300 million and$500 million a year from advertising, but it’s never made a profit，nor has Twitter. YouTube，the video site owned by Google，sells ads but runs at a loss．

Why not charge people for using these sites? If the service is so useful，surely people would pay. Meanwhile，the most obvious answer hangs right out there in the open：charge a fee to use the service! I'm not even close to being an eager member of Facebook，but I do consider it useful and l would gladly pay $5 per month.

So why don’t more websites do it? The idea, clearly, is that charging money would limit growth and be shortsighted; that there’s a bigger opportunity if membership remains free and everyone in the world can join．

Katz didn’t have this all planned out from the start. At first Palhalk was just a kind of fancy version of instant messaging—basically text plus voice. In 2001 Katz added video, and that’s where he started making money. You can trade instant messages for free on Paltalk with up to 10 people and see their video streams(视频流)．But if you want to visit chat rooms and see video streams from hundreds of people, you must pay$14.95 per month．

Katz still runs ads．The funny thing is that if Katz hadn’t dared to charge fees back in 2001，he wouldn’t be in business today.That’s something the big guys might want to keep in mind．

46. Before 2001, Jason Katz’s earnings from his website mainly depended on____．

A. charging his users B. selling advertising

C. providing high-quality services D. attracting new users

47. In the opinion of the author，Facebook has never made a profit because__．

A．it lacks enough users B．its users are very poor

C．it can't make money from advertising D．it doesn’t charge its users

48. The author’s attitude towards Jason Katz’s way of running his website is___．

A．doubtful B．critical C. supportive D. negative

49. What does the underlined part “the big guys” in the last paragraph refer to?

A．The advertisers． B. Instant messages．

C．The Internet users． D. The bigger tech companies．

Everyone knows that bad weather can depress you, but what about its effects on company profits? It’s difficult to sell ice-cream when it’s cold, or attract customers to a ski resort when there is no snow. So what precautions can these businesses take?

Companies often have insurance against negative changes in interest or foreign exchange rates. Insuring against bad weather is simply another form of risk manage
