问题 The primary function of the second paragraph of the passage is to______
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.
