The engineer Camillo Olivetti was 40 years old when he started the company in 1908. At his factory in Ivrea, he designed and produced the first Italian typewriter. Today the company’s head office is still in Ivrea, near Turin, but the company is much larger than it was in those days and there are offices all around the world.
By 1930 there was a staff of 700 and the company turned out 13,000 machines a year. Some went to customers in Italy, but Olivetti exported more typewriters to other countries.
Camillo’s son, Adriano, started working for the company in 1924 and later he became the boss. He introduced a standard speed for the production line and he employed technology and design specialists. The company developed new and better typewriters and the calculators. In 1959 it produced the ELLA computer system. This was the first mainframe computer designed and made in Italy.
After Adriano died in 1960, the company had a period of financial problems. Other companies, especially the Japanese, made faster progress in electronic technology than the Italian company.
In 1978, Carlo de Benedetti became the new boss. Olivetti increased its marketing and service networks and made agreements with other companies to design and produce more advanced office equipment. Soon it became one of the world’s leading companies in information technology and communications. There are now five independent companies in the Olivetti group — one for personal computers, one for other office equipment, one for systems and services, and two for telecommunications.
Questions 30 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.
30. What do we learn from the passage?
31. What was probably the reason for Olivetti’s falling behind in electronic technology?
32. What do we know about today’s Olivetti from the passage?
选项

C、Some of Olivetti’s 700 staff regularly visited customers in Italy.

解析
选项中的Olivetti,earned more in the 1960s,produced 13,000 typewriters,set up offices等表明,本题考查Olivetti公司的情况。由短文中提到的By 1930…the company turned out 13,000 machines a year可知,到了1930年,Olivetti年产13,000台机器即打印机,故答案为[B]。
