2016年12月·第2套 英语六级阅读理解（四选一） 第 1 篇 · 46–50 题答案与解析

What does Dr. Sadoway think of energy storage? 直接问具体人物的具体观点，属于可在原文中找到原句出处的细节题。

Q46 是常规 What 引导的特殊疑问句，主干 Dr. Sadoway think of energy storage 中 think of 是固定短语「对……的看法」，无陷阱。

• A)无中生有

  It involves the application of sophisticated technology. 谈的是「涉及高深技术」，而定位句只评价储能在能源未来中的地位，未提及技术是否 sophisticated。

• B)✓ 正确
  • a missing link to a cleaner, more efficient, and more equitable energy future↔the direction energy development should follow
  • cleaner, more efficient, and more equitable energy future↔energy development

  预判说「储能是能源未来必经之路」，B 选项 the direction energy development should follow 是同一意思的抽象表达，逻辑等值。

• C)偷换概念

  It will prove to be a profitable business. 把储能定义为「会被证明是赚钱的生意」，而 P1 Sadoway 表述的是其能源价值，并未评判利润前景。

• D)过度推断

  It is a technology benefiting everyone. 把储能升格为「让每个人都受益」，但 P1 只提到 more equitable 这一个限定，并未做「人人受益」的全称承诺。

What is most likely to happen when advanced batteries become widely used? 虽含 most likely，但仍指向原文已表态的明确预言，不需要考生自行推理。

Q47 主干 What is most likely to happen 是 What 作主语的疑问句；when 引导的时间状语从句 when advanced batteries become widely used 限定时机，无陷阱。

• A)答非所问

  Mobile-first lifestyles will become popular. 把 mobile-first lifestyles 当作未来电池广泛使用后才会发生的事，但 batteries make possible our mobile-first lifestyles 表明这是电池已经实现的、属于「过去/现在」的事，不是「未来」的预言。

• B)答非所问

  The globalization process will be accelerated. 同样把已发生的 globalized world 当成未来才会发生，且原文只说 increasingly globalized world，并未承诺加速会延续到电池广泛使用的未来。

• C)偷换概念

  Communications will take more diverse forms. 谈的是「通信形式将更多样」，但原文 Having already enabled a communications revolution 已经把通信革命定位为「已经发生」的事，且下一步是 transform everything else（除通信之外的领域），不是通信本身继续多样化。

• D)✓ 正确
  • transform just about everything else↔The world will undergo revolutionary changes.
  • Having already enabled a communications revolution↔revolutionary changes

  预判「几乎所有领域将被变革」即 The world will undergo revolutionary changes.——the world 覆盖 everything else 的范围、revolutionary changes 对应 transform。

In some rural communities of emerging economies, people have begun to ___________. 是要求补全谓语行为的不完整陈述句，本质上仍在问「这些社区做了什么具体的事」。

Q48 主干 people have begun to 用现在完成时表已开始的动作，前置状语 In some rural communities of emerging economies 双层限定场景，无从句、无陷阱。

• A)无中生有

  find digital devices simply indispensable 谈「数字设备不可或缺」，但 P4 谈的是电力供应方式而非数字设备的依赖度。

• B)偷换概念

  communicate primarily by mobile phone 谈手机通讯，但 P4 讨论的是供电而非通讯方式。

• C)✓ 正确
  • their first lightbulbs illuminated↔light their homes
  • the power of sunlight stored in batteries↔stored solar energy

  预判「用储存的太阳能点亮家」与 light their homes with stored solar energy 的主谓宾完全对应，无歧义。

• D)与原文相反

  distribute power with wires and wooden poles 与原文 rural communities are bypassing the wires and wooden poles that spread power 直接矛盾——原文说「跳过电线杆」，选项说「用电线杆配电」。

Utility companies have begun to realize that battery technologies ___________. 问电力公司「意识到电池技术怎样了」，是有原文出处的客观细节，不是推断。

Q49 主干 Utility companies have begun to realize 后接 that 引导宾语从句，从句主语 battery technologies 缺谓语和宾语，待选项补全；无否定无比较，无陷阱。

• A)✓ 正确
  • enabling rather than disrupting↔benefit their business
  • utility companies↔their business

  预判「赋能而非颠覆」即「对其业务有利」，与 benefit their business 同义。

• B)无中生有

  transmit power faster 谈「更快输电」，但 P5 只评判技术对电力公司的「敌/友」属性，未提任何输电速度。

• C)过度推断

  promote innovation 谈「促进创新」，但定位句只评判技术对电力公司业务的影响，未升级到创新维度。

• D)答非所问

  encourage competition 谈「鼓励竞争」，但定位句焦点在「不再被视作威胁」，未提竞争维度。

What does the author imply about the centralized electric grid? 含 imply，明确要求考生在原文表态基础上做一步推断。

Q50 主干 What does the author imply about the centralized electric grid，imply about 表「对……作出何种暗示」，无从句、无否定、无陷阱。

• A)✓ 正确
  • What happens to the centralized electric grid … as more and more people become "prosumers,"↔It might become a thing of the past.
  • took decades and billions of dollars to build↔a thing of the past

  预判「集中电网可能走向终结」即 It might become a thing of the past.——might 体现「推断而非断言」的克制，a thing of the past 体现「淡出、被取代」的语义。

• B)张冠李戴

  It might turn out to be a "prosumer". 把电网当成 prosumer，但 as more and more people become "prosumers," 明确把 prosumers 限定为「人」——集中电网是被产消者削弱的对象，而不是产消者本身。

• C)与原文相反

  It will be easier to operate and maintain. 暗示电网未来更易运维，但全段以 risks 起头、以 What happens to the centralized electric grid 作反问收束——作者隐含的是「集中电网的处境堪忧」，与「更易运维」相反。

• D)过度推断

  It will have to be completely transformed. 中 will have to 与 completely 把作者克制的反问/隐忧夸大为「必须彻底改造」的强断言——原文只表「命运不明」，未承诺「必须、彻底」。
