问题 The primary function of the second paragraph of the passage is to______ [br] The author implies that one way that VHS producers won control over the VCR market was by______
选项 A、carefully restricting access to VCR technology
B、giving up a slight early lead in VCR sales in order to improve long-term prospects.
C、retaining a strict monopoly on the production of prerecorded videotapes.
D、sharing control of the marketing of VHS-format VCR’s
E、sacrificing technological superiority over Betaformat VCR’s in order to remain competitive in price.
答案 D
解析 The best answer is D. VHS producers formed “strategic alliances with other producers and distributors” (lines 10-13) that helped manufacture and market their product, whereas Beta manufacturers “were reluctant to form such alliances and eventually lost ground” (lines 15-16). Choice A is incorrect because it describes the strategy used by Beta producers. Choice B is incorrect because, although VHS producers held an early lead in sales, they did not give up their advantage. Choice C is also incorrect: the passage states that VHS manufacturers took advantage of “strategic alignments with producers of prerecorded tapes” (lines 21-22), but no mention is made of a strict VHS monopoly on such tapes. Choice E incorrect because the passage does not suggest that VHS producers sacrificed technological superiority over Beta-format VCR’s.
