13、r由富裕國家應該承擔責任的 Cthe world must guard against全世界都要警惕的Dconsidered positive today今天被認為是積極的【答案】C【考點】事實細節(jié)題。【分析】通過題干關(guān)鍵詞“數(shù)字鴻溝”定位到第一段。第一句是對“數(shù)字鴻溝”所下的一個定義。其后作者提到,他和妻子20年前就談到這種隱伏的的危險,這里的“l(fā)ooming danger”指的就是“the digital divide”。早在20年前,防止產(chǎn)生這種鴻溝的積極因素還不太明顯,而今天作者認為是樂觀的。同時定位到第二段,作者提到了“因特網(wǎng)的普及使這種鴻溝正得到縮小”,可見,選項A是錯誤的,“因為

14、因特網(wǎng)而變得糟糕”與原文意思相左。B不對,是因為作者沒有提到這個方面。在作者看來,這種鴻溝是不好的現(xiàn)象,而網(wǎng)絡的普及能幫助世界戰(zhàn)勝貧困。D的說法顯然是錯誤的,因為作者就是要消除這個鴻溝。26.Governments attach importance to the Internet because it _.政府重視因特網(wǎng)是因為它_。Aoffers economic potentials提供很多經(jīng)濟可能Bcan bring foreign funds能夠帶來外國資金Ccan soon wipe out world poverty能夠很快消除世界貧困Dconnects people all ov

15、er the world將世界人民連在一起【答案】A【考點】事實細節(jié)題。【分析】定位到第二段,文中提到“政府之所以大力推廣因特網(wǎng)是出于因特網(wǎng)可能成為消除貧困的最好的工具的考慮”。第三段更是提到“因特 網(wǎng)可能具有巨大的潛力”。因此可以判斷A是正確的。B選項認為“可以帶來海外投資”,這僅僅是局部因素。C選項中,雖然作者提到了“國際互聯(lián)網(wǎng)的利用可能是戰(zhàn)勝貧困的工具”,但這僅僅是一種潛在的力量,并沒有說能夠很快消除貧困。D選項也是因特網(wǎng)的一個主要功能,但是也不是政府重視的主要原因。27.The writer mentioned the case of the United States to just

16、ify the policy of_.作者提到美國的案例是為了證明_政策是對的。Aproviding financial support overseas為海外提供資金支持Bpreventing foreign capitals control防止外國資金控制Cbuilding industrial infrastructure建設工業(yè)基礎Daccepting foreign investment接受外國投資【答案】D【考點】作者意圖題?！痉治觥吭诘谒亩?美國和巴西的例子都被作者用以說明拋棄過去的在那種在利用外資上的,過時的反殖民偏見,提出充分利用外資建立電子基礎設施的重要性,并且指出,哪個國

17、家在建設“第三次浪潮”的基礎設施上利用外資多,哪個國家就將變得更富裕。因此可以判斷正確選項是D。A選項把吸收外資的重要性和美國提供海外資金混淆起來。B的說法無法從美國這個案例中推斷出來。C錯在“工業(yè)”這個概念上。28.It seems that now a countrys economy depends much on_.現(xiàn)在,一個國家的經(jīng)濟看起來極大地依賴于_。Ahow well developed it is electronically它的電子發(fā)展程度Bwhether it is prejudiced against immigrants它是否歧視移民 中國考博輔導首選學校 Cwhet

18、her it adopts Americas industrial pattern 它是否接受 美國的工業(yè)模式 Dhow much control it has over foreign corporations 它對外國 公司的控制有多大 【答案】 A 【考點】 推斷題。 【分析】 文章最后一段提到哪個國家在建設“第三次浪潮”的基礎設 施上利用外資多，哪個國家就將變得更富裕。這里的“第三次浪潮”指的就 是“電子基礎建設”。因此選項 A 是正確的。其他三個選項中， B 和 D 文中沒有提到。 C 再次出現(xiàn)“工業(yè)模式”，因此不正確。 難句解析 ： 1. As the Internet becom

19、es more and more commercialized, it is in the interest of business to universalize access after all, the more people online, the more potential customers there are. 【結(jié)構(gòu)分析】 本句主句是“ It is in the interest of business to universalize access ”，“ as ”引導一個伴隨狀語，“隨著”，而非“因 為”，后面破折號的部分是進一步解釋說明前面的主句。 2. The more

20、 foreign capital you have helping you build your Third Wave infrastructure, which today is an electronic infrastructure, the better off youre going to be. 【結(jié)構(gòu)分析】 本句是一個“ the more., the more. ”的句型。 “ which today is an electronic infrastructure ”是修飾“ Third Wave infrastructure ”的非限定性定語從句。 全文翻譯： 中國考博輔導首選學校 今天，人們十分關(guān)注所謂的數(shù)字鴻溝問題，即世界被分為信息資源豐富 區(qū)和信息資源貧乏區(qū)兩類。這個鴻溝今天確實存在，我和我妻子 20 年前談 過這個隱伏的危險。然而，那時一些抵制數(shù)字鴻溝的、新的積極因素還不如
