Brands are basically a promise. They tell consumers what quality to expect from a【C1】________and show off its personality. Firms invest a lot on the image of their brands to【C2】________sales and loyalty. But measuring their value is hard. Millward Brown, a market-research company, is one of several that takes a stab at it. It has just published its annual ranking of the world’s "most【C3】________" brands based on consumers’【C4】________and the performance of the companies that own them.
The top 100 are collectively worth $2.6 trillion, the firm【C5】________. Apple remains the world’s most【C6】________brand, worth $185 billion,【C7】________the head of three major technology companies. However, it may have been a【C8】________year for Apple in many respects: rivals are gaining share of the smartphone market;【C9】________and margins have been【C10】________. And Apple hasn’t unveiled a major new product since last October.【C11】________, none of the three major technology companies has increased much in value since last year perhaps because they have been refining their products【C12】________being startlingly innovative.
Microsoft, which tried to be startling by【C13】________a radical new operating system, has seen its brand value fall. Apple’s big rival, Samsung, jumped 25 places, partly by out-innovating Apple and partly by【C14】________its advertising expenditure by $1.6 billion.
Visa was one of the main brand sponsors for the 2012 Olympic games in London. But many of the big gainers【C15】________growth in emerging markets. That helps explain the rise in the value of beer brands like Brazil’s Brahma, which is worth 61% more than last year. Ten-cent, an internet services company, benefited from being innovative and Chinese.【C16】________sales slowed in Europe, Zara, a high-street fashion retailer introduced online shopping for customers in China.
Luxury【C17】________companies tend their brands even more carefully than most. Gucci, whose brand value increased by almost 50%, has invested in technology to【C18】________its online and mobile presence. The biggest riser this year,【C19】________is Prada, whose brand value【C20】________ 63% as it increased sales in both old markets and new. But even in Western Europe its most enthusiastic customers were Asian tourists.
【C6】
选项
A、costly
B、popular
C、valuable
D、special
答案
C
解析
苹果公司以市值1,850亿美元成为世界三大科技公司之首(…the head of…),所以该品牌应是最“有价值的”,故选择C项valuable。A项costly指用于买卖的物品价格高,而本题讨论的是品牌价值的评估,并非买卖品牌的价格。B项popular“受欢迎的”和D项special“特别的”均无法与worth $185 billion语义对应,上下文的内容既没有体现苹果品牌如何受欢迎,也没有体现其特别之处。
