Question 70: The passage is about_________ A. technology B. a history of the Internet C. computers users D. a successful business Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions. The late 1990s was a volatile time for the Internet entrepreneur. There were a large number of new high- tech and Internet-based business being started up, some based on little more than dreams. And nearly any entrepreneur with a high- tech and Internet-based business plan could receive a large amount of money form investors to develop the business. These businesses were called" dot-coms" after the last part of their Internet addresses, and that time in business history has became known as the dot-com era. Most dot-com ventures failed as the inconsistencies between high-tech dreams and realities clarified, but a handful of entrepreneurs from that time remain successful today. Many people look back at the dot-com area with a certain amount of cynicism. Some charge that there were entrepreneurs who deliberately mislead investors about the potential of their business plans; that hey had the ulterior motive of getting their hands on large amount of cash before anything else- a ploy that some say was common in the dot-com era. By 2001, most of the dot-coms had disappeared and were sarcastically referred to as "dot-bombs". By the time the hype died down, incredible amounts of money had been lost.This is an unforgettable legacy of the dot-com era. Why did companies like Microsoft, Apple, and Google find success, while so many others disappeared? There is no concise answer, but one interesting coincidence is that many of them were started by two or more entrepreneurs working in conjunction with each other. At Microsoft, Bill Gates and Paul Allen complemented each other ; Apple had Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak; we owe Google to the rapport between founder Larry Page and Sergey Brin. Besides collaborating with others, today's entrepreneurs need to be able to think on their feed because the business situation changes so quickly. Entrepreneurs need to do constant research to keep track of changing trends. Today's entrepreneurs need to be hardworking and tenacious- the easy money of the dot-com era is history. Experimentation and innovation ae critical in a rapidly changing and highly competitive marketplace . It seems that the mistakes of the dot-com era have shown the world what the high tech economy truly is,and what it isn't. It isn't a place where anyone with a dream can get rich. It is., however a powerful and flexible business environment where people with sound business ideas and effective business innovations, sometimes very successful ones indeed. But, as it has always been true in the business world, there is no substitute for through planning and hard work . Question 71: What is the author's main purpose in writing this passage? A. To expose the negative side of the dot-com era B. To explain the history and qualities of the dot-com era. C. To convince the reader to become an entrepreneurs. D. To show how being an entrepreneur is easier today than ever before. Question 72: What is most likely the reason that it wsa easy to get money from investors in the the dot-com era? A. Investors were mainly Internet entrepreneurs. B. Investors didn't expect to get their money back in those days. C. Investors were confused about the potential of high-tech business ideas. D. Investors knew that any idea would succeed. Question 73: Why do many people look back on the dot-com era with cynicism? A. Because many companies misled their investors. B. Because they are jealous of the success of dot-coms. C. Because the level of technology was so much lower than them. D. Because there were no true entrepreneurs in that era. Question 74: Why did some people probably refer to dot-coms as "dot bombs" by 2001? A. Because most dot- com companies were short-lived failures. B. Because dot- com companies started up extremely quickly C. Because some dot- com companies became extremely successful. D. Because many people wished to eliminate dot- com businesses.
