48.A

49.B

50.C【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了如何选择一个品牌名称的几点建议。【47题详解】根据空前的“Talktoanyoneínthebusinessworldandtheywilltellyouthatagoodadvertisingcampaigncanonlygetyousofar”可知，与商界的任何人交谈，他们都会告诉你，一个好的广告活动只能让你走到目前为止，此处承接上文，讲的是如果你想更进一步应该采取的做法，同时空后的one指代的就是E项中的abrandname，所以选E(要想得更远，你需要一个人们会记住的品牌名称,这将使你的产品或公司脱颖而出)。【48题详解】根据空前的“Thebiggestoreisifyoulaterdecidetoexpandyourbusinesstootherareas”可知，最大的问题是你以后是否决定将业务扩展到其他领域，此处是对前面的举例说明，所以选A（很明显，如果你想扩展到餐饮或美食领域，“皮特面包店”将不再是一个好的公司名称）。【49题详解】根据空前的“ThinkofAdidasorKellogg'—whentheysetuptheircompanies,AdiDasslerandWlliamKelloggwereunknownbuttheyhavebeensosuccessfulthattheirnameshavebecomeworld-famousbrands”可知，想想阿迪达斯或凯洛格——当他们成立自己的公司时，阿迪达斯勒和沃利安凯洛格并不为人所知，但他们非常成功，以至于他们的名字已经成为世界知名品牌，这是成功的一面，此处还是承接这个话题，并与之形成转折关系，讲的是用人名给品牌命名的缺点，所以选B（当然，这样做的缺点是，在人们知道你之前，潜在的客户可能很难找到你）。【50题详解】空前提到了用缩写或是组合名称给品牌命名的方法，此处总结上文，讲的是选择这两种方法应该注意的事项，所以选C（无论你采取哪种方法，都不要急于选择你的品牌）。【点睛】在六选四解题过程中，空格上下文出现的代词的指代关系往往是重要线索，例如本篇第1题，根据空前的“Talktoanyoneínthebusinessworldandtheywilltellyouthatagoodadvertisingcampaigncanonlygetyousofar”可知，与商界的任何人交谈，他们都会告诉你，一个好的广告活动只能让你走到目前为止，此处承接上文，讲的是如果你想更进一步应该采取的做法，同时空后的one表明空处应该会出现一个对应上文话题的名词或名词性短语，one指代的就是E项中的abrandname，所以选E(要想得更远，你需要一个人们会记住的品牌名称,这将使你的产品或公司脱颖而出)。
