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.
【C12】
选项
A、not only
B、as well
C、other than
D、rather than
答案
D
解析
because表明三大科技公司的品牌价值并未上升多少的原因。致力于完善产品(refining their products)是一个既成事实;而有令人惊叹的创新(being startlingly innovative)应是与其期望相反,因而导致其价值未能上升。因此空格处要填入一个含有否定意义的词,D项rather than正确,意为“而不是”。
