buyers across the world. its business-to-business site, a allowed business to buy almost everything. alibabas advantage wasnt hard to judge: size. alibaba is just big, even by chinese standards. its market attracts 231 million active buyers, 8 million sellers, 11.3 billion orders a year and alibaba is just the middleman. it encourages people to use its markets not charging small sellers a percentage of the sale.if you want a quick look into the influence(影响) of alibaba on daily chinese life, take my experience. i moved to beijing a year ago and quickly got tired of visiting small stores across the crowded, polluted city of 20 million people in search of new electronics, bathroom furnishings, and anything else my wife wanted. “youre looking for what exactly? why not try it? ” my chinese teacher asked me one day. with that, my wonderful new relationship with alibaba began.alibabas original business-to-business model now is second to consumer (消费者) buying. chinese retail(零售) buying makes up 80% of alibabas profit, and leading that group is taobao, with 800 million items(物品) for sale and the most unbelievable selection of things youll ever find. tm is alibabas other big site, where you can find brand name goods from nike and unilever near the lowest prices.what i have a hard time explaining to friends and family back in the u.s. is how china has gone beyond traditional shopping big-box retailers especially in favor of online purchases on taobao and a few other sites. in smaller towns than beijing, where big retailers have not yet traveled, shopping online is shopping, and shopping is taobao.i have a list of some of my recent purchases on taobao for a sense of how wide the marketplace is. almost everything arrived a day or two after ordering with free shipping. im not even a big buyer, because i need friends to help me search the chinese-language site. when i was searching my purchase history on my chinese teachers ipad, which helps me buy goods, i looked through with great difficulty about 10 of her purchases for every one of mine.43. alibabas advantage mainly lies in .a. its low price b. its business-to-business servicec. its big size d. its not charging small sellers 44. what can we learn from the underlined sentence in the passage?a. alibaba will continue to develop.b. alibaba stands out as the best online site.c. alibaba is of middle size among all the online sites.d. alibaba acts as a bridge between the buyers and sellers.45. what can be inferred from the passage?a. tm provides more profit than taobao. b. the authors chinese teacher is also an online purchase lover.c. taobao has no obvious advantage over other similar online sites. d. alibabas business-to-business service earns more money than retail.46. what is
