Shopping has always been something of an impulse activity, in which objects that catch our fancy while strolling are immediately bought on a whim. Advertisers and sellers have taken advantage of this fact, carefully positioning inexpensive but attractive items on paths that we are most likely to cross, in the hopes that our human nature will lead to a greater profit for them. With the dawn of the Internet and its exploding usage across the world, the same tactics apply.
Advertisers now place "banners", links to commercial web sites decorated with attractive pictures designed to catch our eyes while browsing the webs, on key web sites with heavy traffic. They pay top dollar for the right, thus creating profits for the hosting web site as well. These actions are performed in the hopes that during the course of our casual and leisurely web surfing, we’ll click on that banner that sparks our interest and thus, in theory, buy the products advertised.
Initial results have been positive. Web sites report a huge inflow of cash, both from the advertisers who lure customers in with the banners and the hosting web sites who are paid for allowing the banners to be put in place. As trust and confidence in Internet buying increases and information security is heightened with new technology, the volume of buying is increasing, leading to even greater profits.
The current situation, however, is not quite as optimistic. Just as magazine readers tend to unconsciously ignore advertisements in their favorite periodicals, web browsers are beginning to allow banners to slip their notice as well. Internet users respond to the flood of banners by viewing them as annoyances, a negative image that is hurting sales, since users are now less reluctant to click on those banners, preferring not to support the system that put them in place. If Internet advertising is to continue to be a viable and profitable business practice, new methods will need to be considered to reinvigorate the industry.
With the recent slump in the technology sector and slumping economy, even new practices may not do the trick. As consumers are saving more and frequenting traditional "brick and mortar" businesses over their Internet counterparts, the fate of Internet business is called into question. The coming years will be the only reliable indication of whether shopping on the world wide web is the wave of the future or simply an impulse activity whose whim has passed.
We learn from the text that advertising on the web______.
选项
A、has displaced more traditional methods of advertising
B、is the only way to make profit on the Internet
C、is paralleling advertising methods in traditional business settings
D、seeks to lure customers primarily through impulse shopping methods
答案
C
解析
属信息推断题。第一段最后一句指出:随着互联网时代的来临,网络在全世界范围内的使用率迅猛增加,而同样的策略却依然适用。由此可知,选项C(paralleling意为“相似的”)符合此意。选项A(displaced意为“取代”)与第四段内容不符(互联网广告在走下坡路);选项B在文中没有提及,only一词用得太绝对;选项D与第三段第二句意思不符:这些资金一方面来源于用一幅幅标语诱惑顾客点击其产品的广告商,另一方面来自那些允许这些标语出现在他们的网上、但因此收费的访问率很高的网站。
