Yahoo has turned into the Paris Hilton of tech companies—a stupid outfit that remains very popular even though nobody, including Yahoo itself, seems to know exactly what Yahoo does for a living. And like the heiress(女继承人), for reasons that most people can’t understand Yahoo continues to attract a string of potential suitors(追求者)and to find itself the subject of constant rumors even though it was no longer interesting long before.
The latest rumor: Google is going to buy Yahoo. Or, rather, Google will put up some of the money that certain unnamed buyout firms will use to buy Yahoo, according to a Wall Street Journal report citing unnamed sources. Teamwork is needed because Yahoo is valued at about $21 billion, making it too rich for anyone to handle on its own.
Any deal between the two companies would be a tough sell in Washington, D.C., considering that regulators in 2008 forbidden a proposed search-advertising partnership between them, It may be that Google doesn’t really want to buy Yahoo but just wants to drive up the price that another buyer(for example, Microsoft, which is said to be weighing a bid)will have to pay.
Despite its travails, Yahoo still attracts an enormous audience—nearly 180 million visitors per month, making it the second-most-popular website in the US, after Google. But financially it’s hurting, with revenues declining 5% in its most recent quarter. Like Google, Microsoft is rumored to be going after Yahoo by offering to provide financing for buyout firms, including Silver Lake Partners, that are interested in Yahoo. Putting up some money would give Microsoft or Google some influence over how Yahoo is run.
Another rumored suitor is Alibaba Group, in which Yahoo holds a 40% stake. Others include AOL and Andreessen Horowitz, which was studying a bid for Yahoo in a deal that might also include Silver Lake Partners and DST Global, a Russian investment company. [br] What is the real purpose of Google in buying Yahoo?
选项
A、To buy Yahoo only.
B、To drive up the price.
C、To attract an enormous audience.
D、To handle on its own.
答案
B
解析
由题干可知该题考查谷歌收购雅虎的真实意图是什么。由real purpose,Google定位到第三段第二句。题干是对该句的转述,该句大意为“或许谷歌不是真正想要购买雅虎,而只是想抬高价格”,由此可知B)正确。
