It would be all too easy to say that Facebook’s market meltdown is coming to an end.After all,Mark Zuckerberg’s social

network burned as much as$50 billion of shareholders’wealth in just a couple months.To put that in context,since its debut(初次登台)on NASDAQ in May,Facebook has lost value nearly equal to Yahoo,AOL,Zynga,Yelp,Pandora,Open Table,

Group on,LinkedIn,and Angie's List combined,plus that of the bulk of the publicly traded newspaper industry:

As shocking as this utter failure may be to the nearly 1 billion faithful Facebook users around the world,it’s no surprise to

anyone who read the initial public offering(IPO)prospectus(首次公开募股说明书).Worse still,all the crises that emerged

when the company debuted-overpriced shares,poor corporate governance,huge challenges to the core business,and a

damaged brand-remain today.Facebook looks like a prime example of what Wall Street calls a falling knife-that is,one that

can cost investors their fingers if they try to catch it.

Start with the valuation.To justify a stock price close to the lower end of the projected range in the IPO,say$28 a share,Facebook’s future growth would have needed to match that of Google seven years earlier.That would have required

increasing revenue by some 80 percent annually and maintaining high profit margins all the while.

That’s not happening.In the first half of 2012,Facebook reported revenue of$2.24 billion,up 38 percent from the same

period in 2011.At the same time,the company’s costs surged to$2.6 billion in the six-month period.

This so-so performance reflects the Achilles’heel of Facebook’s business model,which the company clearly stated in a

list of risk factors associated with its IPO:it hasn’t yet figured out how to advertise effectively on mobile devices,The number

of Facebook users accessing the site on their phones surged by 67 percent to 543 million in the last quarter,or more than

half its

答案: C
本题解析:

本题考查推理判断。

由题干定位到原文第一段。

本题考查第一段的主旨大意。此种题型可以使用排除法,将各选项代入原文来验证对错。C选项,“脸谱网自股票上市以来遭遇了巨大失败”,由第一段中的 burned,lost等词可以推断脸谱网上市后遭遇了巨大失败,综上,C选项正确。

A选项,“脸谱网的市场崩溃已被轻而易举地制止了”,原文开篇指出,说脸谱网的市场崩溃将要结束未免太简单了.A选项与原文不符,故排除;

B选项,“脸谱网增加了与报纸业之间的商务往来”,原文首段末句plus that of… 中的that指的是value,意指脸谱网自登陆纳斯达克以来,损失的价值等同于几个大型互联网企业加上大部分报业价值的总和,B选项与原文不符,故排除;

D选项,“脸谱网的股东们投资了500亿美元给一家社交网”是对第一段第二句话的错误理解,故排除。

故正确选项为C。
