问题     Competition breeds excellence. Ask anyone who pays attention to the car industry and they will tell you that the family-sedan segment is just brutal, with manufacturers fighting tooth and nail over every sale. In fact, that market has become more competitive in recent years. It used to just be the Camry and the Accord fighting for supremacy, but now you have new(Hyundai)and old(Ford)competitors, among others, joining the fight, with interesting, well-made, compelling products. It’s a great time to be shopping for a new family sedan.
    Compare that with the state of the tablet market today. Hewlett-Packard is in retreat. Research in Motion is in a holding pattern. Motorola has been sold and its tablet is now an afterthought. Samsung fights the good fight, hut it trails Apple’s market share by 50 percentage points.
    Apple is not just ahead of the pack, it almost is the pack. Now, some would say that this is also a simple result of economic laws at work: Apple makes a superior product, therefore it gets most of the sales. But what would be really great is that, Apple, Google, Microsoft, and H. P. , locked in an epic battle for tablet supremacy, are each releasing new and better products at a furious pace, and each dropping prices substantially at a steady clip.
    Apple is driving innovation and creativity with each upgrade of the iPad it releases. But this isn’t about whether you prefer Apple or Android for your tablet. This isn’t about picking sides. As a consumer, I want there to be robust competition across the board. I want Coke and Pepsi, Target and Wal-Mart, Engadget and Gizmodo.
    If you’re a fan of Apple, you want there to be a worthy rival push it, to keep its feet to the fire. If you don’t like Apple, you want someone else in the game so that Apple doesn’t suck all the air out of the room. And you want Apple to do the same pushing and foot scorching to its competitor that another company would do to it.
Why is it a great time to he shopping for a new family sedan?
选项 A、Because competition is more interesting and compelling.
B、Because Hyundai and Ford are joining the competition.
C、Because customers have enough quality cars to choose from.
D、Because the Camry and the Accord are competing for supremacy.
答案C
解析 第一段的第四句话“过去只是凯美瑞和雅阁争夺霸权，但是现在又有了新现代和老福特这样的竞争对手，还有其他的一些对手，它们带着有趣、制作精良、令人信服具有竞争力的产品加入竞争。”说明对手不止一个，为了占据市场，生产厂家都在努力生产精良产品占据市场，这样顾客的选择余地就大了。故选C。
