                            List of Headings
A. The Chinese tech market is an alluring one.
B. It’s been a rough year for foreign tech companies in China.
C. Instead, worse off in the China market are hardware companies like Cisco and IBM.
D. But Microsoft may actually be better off in China than many other US tech companies.
E. Qualcomm is having trouble with the Chinese government.
Example              Answer
Paragraph IV            E
【R1】Para. I______
【R2】Para. II______
【R3】Para. III______
【R4】Para. V______
Para. I Microsoft is the latest to make headlines with a tale of woe, in the form of a $ 140m tax fee paid to Chinese authorities.(Microsoft prefers to call it a $ 140m "bilateral advanced pricing agreement"). This comes on top of an antitrust investigation launched in July and this week’s news that one of China’s largest companies is switching its email service away from Microsoft.
Para. II Due to rampant piracy. Microsoft’s revenues in China have never been very big(about the same size as revenues in the Netherlands). Microsoft’s overall revenues rose 25 per cent last quarter, year on year, despite the "more challenging environment" reported in China and Russia. Para. III Cisco’s sales in China have halved during the past two years, driven by a backlash after the Snowden revelations and by the increasing capabilities of Chinese equipment manufacturers like Huawei. IBM’s China revenues are falling too, the company disclosed last quarter—on top of a 22 per cent year-on-year drop in the comparable quarter last year. IBM said a tough hardware market was to blame. The company will exit part of that business with the sale of its x86 server business to Lenovo, a deal that closed in October.
Para. IV Then there’s Qualcomm, which partners with Chinese manufacturers who produce its chips; the company says one-fifth of its licensed 3G/4G devices are going unreported(which means no licence fees). The company is having trouble resolving these disputes because it is simultaneously the subject of a Chinese antitrust investigation.
Para. V IT spend in China may grow at 5. 7 per cent next year, as forecast by IDC, to the US’s 3. 7 per cent, but given the size of their respective markets—the US is three.
【R1】

选项 A、 
B、 
C、 
D、 
E、 

答案B

解析 本段开头就讲到“微软因向中国当局支付140亿美元税费的悲惨故事而上了新闻头条”,接下来又讲到中国七月发起反垄断调查,且中国最大的公司之一将其电子邮件业务从微软转向其他提供商,由此可知B项“这是外资科技企业在中国的艰难的一年”适合作为该段的标题。因此选B。
