问题     Depending on your age and memory, it was a week of radically new or reassuringly old developments in the advertising industry. To Mark Zuckerberg, the boss of Facebook, a popular social-networking website, it was the former. Standing in front of about 250 mostly middle-aged advertising executives on November 6th, he announced that Facebook was offering them a new deal. "For the last hundred years media has been pushed out to people," he said, "but now marketers are going to be a part of the conversation. " Using his firm’s new approach, he claimed, advertisers will be able to piggyback on the "social actions" of Facebook users, since "people influence people. "
    Mr. Zuckerberg’s underlying idea is hardly new. But, says Randall Rothenberg, the boss of the Interactive Advertising Bureau, a trade association, the announcements this week by Facebook and its larger rival, My Space, which has a similar ad system, could amount to a big step forward in conversational marketing. If new technologies that are explicitly based on social interactions prove effective, he thinks, they might advance web advertising to its fourth phase.
    From the point of view of marketers, the existing types of online ads already represent breakthroughs. In search, they can now target consumers who express interest in a particular product or service by typing a keyword; they pay only when a consumer responds, by clicking on their ads. In display, they can track and measure how their ads are viewed and whether a consumer is paying attention better than they ever could with television ads. Yet now the holy grail of observing and even participating in consumers’ conversations appears within reach.
    The first step for brands to socialize with consumers is to start profile pages on social networks and then accept "friend requests" from individuals. On My Space, brands have been doing this for a while. For instance, Warner Bros, a Hollywood studio, had a My Space page for "300", its film about Spartan warriors. It signed up some 200,000 friends, who watched trailers, talked the film up before its release, and counted down toward its DVD release.
    Facebook, from this week, also lets brands create their own pages. Coca-Cola, for instance, has a Sprite page and a "Sprite Sips" game that lets users play with a little animated character on their own pages. Facebook makes this a social act by automatically informing the player’s friends, via tiny "news feed" alerts, of the fun in progress. Thus, at least in theory, a Sprite "experience" can travel through an entire group, just as Messrs Lazarsfeld and Katz once described in the offline world.
    In many cases, Facebook users can also treat brands’ pages like those of other friends, by adding reviews, photos or comments, say. Each of these actions might again be communicated instantly to the news feeds of their clique. Obviously this is a double-edged sword, since they can just as easily criticize a brand as praise it. Facebook even plans to monitor and use actions beyond its own site to place them in a social context. If, for instance, a Facebook user makes a purchase at Fandango, a website that sells cinema tickets, this information again shows up on the news feeds of his friends on Facebook, who might decide to come along. If he buys a book or shirt on another site, then this implicit recommendation pops up too.
The new advertising model makes breakthrough in______.
选项 A、allowing marketers to find consumers with a keyword
B、providing marketers access to measure their ads’ effectiveness
C、encouraging consumers to have more communication and interaction
D、endow marketer with the right of creating their own pages
答案B
解析 根据文章第三段第句“From the point of view of marketers，the existing types of online ads already represent breakthroughs．”可知：在营销商看来，在线广告的现有类型已经有所突破了。从搜索方面看，现在能通过敲人关键字锁定那些对某种产品或服务感兴趣的顾客；只有在顾客作出反应，点击他们的广告时，他们才会注意。在显示方面，他们能跟踪和测量他们的广告是如何被浏览的以及是否与电视广告相比顾客留意得多些。这就是说提供了营销商衡量他们广告效果的途径。据此判断，答案是B。
