2017年12月·第2套 英语六级阅读理解（四选一） 第 2 篇 · 51–55 题答案与解析

What does the example of iPhone 6s serve to show? 明确问"这个例子用来说明什么"，是典型的例证目的题。

题干主干是 What does the example serve to show，of iPhone 6s 是 example 的后置定语，serve to do 意为"用来做某事"。句子平铺直叙，无陷阱。

• A)以偏概全

  The huge capacity of the smartphones people now use. 只复述了例子里 dual-core processor 这种"容量大"的细节，没有上升到作者真正要论证的"技术进步快"。

• B)无中生有

  The widespread use of smartphones all over the world. 谈的是"普及程度"，可原文 iPhone 6s 例子只谈"技术规格"，全段也没提"在全世界被广泛使用"。

• C)偷换概念

  The huge impact of new technology on people's everyday life. 把话题偷换成"新技术对日常生活的巨大影响"，可原文 iPhone 6s 例子只谈"几年前到现在的技术规格变化"，没有展开"对日常生活造成何种影响"。

• D)✓ 正确
  • Our world now moves so fast that we seldom stop to see just how far we have come in just a few years.↔The rapid technological progress in a very short period of time.

  预判"短时间内技术进步惊人"与 The rapid technological progress in a very short period of time. 完全对位，rapid = so fast、in a very short period of time = in just a few years。

What can we expect to see by the year 2020? 是问"2020 年会看到什么"，答案就在原文那句话里，不需推断。

What 作 see 的宾语，we 是主语，can expect to see 是谓语，by the year 2020 是时间状语；句式简单。

• A)张冠李戴

  Apps for the Internet of Things. 来自第 2 段 new applications for the Internet of Things are moving ahead fast，是现在进行时"正在快速推进"，并非 2020 才能看到；时间不匹配。

• B)✓ 正确
  • the fully connected home will become a reality for large numbers of people worldwide↔The popularization of smart homes.

  The popularization of smart homes. 用 popularization 概括 become a reality for large numbers of people，用 smart homes 概括 fully connected home，完全等值。

• C)偷换概念

  The emergence of Millennials. 用 emergence（出现/兴起）形容千禧一代，可原文 Millennials(千禧一代) are expected to make up 75 percent of our overall workforce 说的是"届时占劳动力 75%"，不是"届时才出现"——千禧一代早已存在。

• D)过度推断

  Total globalization of the world. 中的 total globalization"完全全球化"是原文从未出现的概念；定位句虽含 worldwide 一词，但是修饰"全互联家庭普及范围"，不等于"全世界已彻底全球化"。

What will business owners do when they become aware of the benefits of the Internet of Things? 问的是企业主一旦意识到好处会采取什么行动，答案是原文里的客观陈述。

主干 What will business owners do，when 引导时间状语从句，从句里 they 回指 business owners，become aware of "意识到"。注意 when 在这里是"一旦/当……时"，不是疑问词。

• A)过度推断

  Employ fewer workers in their operations. 把 massive savings"巨大节约"理解成"裁员省钱"，可原文只说技术通过 sensors、automation、智能能源/设施管理带来节约，从未提及"减少员工"。

• B)偷换概念

  Gain automatic control of their businesses. 把 new forms of automation 这一"技术手段"曲解成"业主获得对企业的自动控制"。原文 automation 是技术带来节约的方式之一，业主并不会因此"获得对生意的自动控制"。

• C)✓ 正确
  • smart buildings and even cities increasingly become the norm↔Invest in more smart buildings and cities.
  • as leaders and business owners begin to wake up to the massive savings that technology can deliver↔Invest in more smart buildings and cities.

  预判"推动智能楼宇/城市变成常态"与 Invest in more smart buildings and cities. 完全对位：invest in more 正是让 smart buildings and even cities ... become the norm 这一普及结果发生的业主侧动作。

• D)以偏概全

  Embrace whatever new technology there is. 把对象从 smart buildings and even cities 这个具体范畴扩大成 whatever new technology there is"凡是新技术全都拥抱"，明显超出原文。原文只说业主意识到"这门技术"带来节约后让"智能楼宇/城市"成为常态，没有承诺"对所有新技术来者不拒"。

What is the most exciting challenge when we possess more and more data? 问"最激动人心的挑战是什么"，答案就在原文那句"最大的挑战是……"里。

主干 What is the most exciting challenge，when 引导时间状语从句"当我们拥有越来越多数据时"。more and more 表数量递增。

• A)✓ 正确
  • how to creatively leverage this ever-growing amount of data to deliver cost savings, improvements and tangible benefits↔How to turn it to profitable use.

  预判"把海量数据创造性地变成实际效益"与 How to turn it to profitable use. 完全对位，turn it to profitable use = leverage data to deliver benefits。

• B)张冠李戴

  How to do real time data analysis. 来自 run real time data analytics to extract actionable and ongoing knowledge，是上一段铺垫的能力，而第 7 段明确把"最大挑战"定义为 how to creatively leverage ... data，不是"如何做实时分析"。

• C)偷换概念

  How to link the actionable systems. 用 link the actionable systems"连接可行动的系统"，原文 actionable and ongoing knowledge 里 actionable 修饰 knowledge（可付诸行动的知识），并非什么 actionable systems；同时"如何连接系统"也不是原文设定的挑战。

• D)答非所问

  How to devise new ways to store it. 中的 store data"存储数据"来自 the housing of this enormous and rapidly growing amount of data，但原文紧接着用 not only ... but also ... 把重点放在"运行实时数据分析"上，第 7 段更把"最大挑战"定义为"创造性利用数据"，存储显然不是答案。

题干虽含 think，但锁死了具体话题 working from anywhere and at anytime，作者的看法就在那一两句话里，仍走定位路径而非全文串线。

主干 What does the author think about X，about 后跟动名词短语 working from anywhere and at anytime；anywhere 和 anytime 由 and 并列。

• A)✓ 正确
  • and yet now we can perform almost any office-based task from any location in the world as long as we have access to the internet↔It is feasible with a connection to the internet.

  预判"只要上网就能实现"与 It is feasible with a connection to the internet. 完全对位：feasible 概括"can perform""已经能做到"，with a connection to the internet 等值于 as long as we have access to the internet。

• B)张冠李戴

  It will thrive in smart buildings, cities and homes. 把 smart buildings, cities and homes 这一全文话题硬粘到"任意时间地点办公"上。原文 P8 明确给出的条件是 access to the internet，并没有说"在智能楼宇/城市/家里才会兴盛"。

• C)与原文相反

  It is still a distant Utopian dream for ordinary workers. 把作者明确否定的旧状态当成现状。原文以 and yet now 转折，已说明 distant Utopian dream 是 "过去的看法"，作者现在的态度恰恰相反；这是典型"正话反说"。

• D)张冠李戴

  It will deliver tangible benefits to both boss and worker. 中的 tangible benefits 来自第 7 段 cost savings, improvements and tangible benefits to both businesses and citizens，谈的是"用数据带来收益"的对象，被搬到"任意时间地点办公"上做承诺；同时 boss/worker 这种二分对象也是原文没有的。
