2018考研英語：閱讀真題難點精析（2003年Text1）

　　今天我們要分析的題目來自于2003年的閱讀第一篇。為了幫助大家解析，考研老師將定位句和題目對應(yīng)給出，方便精析。

　　21題：The emergence of the Net has ________.

　　[A] received support from fans like Donovan

　　[B] remolded the intelligence services

　　[C] restored many common pastimes

　　[D] revived spying as a profession

　　定位句：These days the Net, which has already re-made such everyday pastimes as buying books and sending mail, is reshaping Donovan’s vocation as well.根據(jù)題干問網(wǎng)絡(luò)出現(xiàn)之后的情況，定位到原文These days the Net，現(xiàn)在網(wǎng)絡(luò)時代發(fā)生了什么事情呢?句子的主干是說 reshaping Donovan’s vocation as well.它重塑了多諾萬的職業(yè)。根據(jù)前文語境，多諾萬的職業(yè)就是間諜工作。那么就是說網(wǎng)絡(luò)的出現(xiàn)改變了間諜活動。答案是[B] remolded the intelligence services。

　　22題：Donovan’s story is mentioned in the text to ________.

　　[A] introduce the topic of online spying

　　[B] show how he fought for the U.S.

　　[C] give an episode of the information war

　　[D] honor his unique services to the CIA

　　定位句依然是首段尾句，因為該題是例證題，開頭提到例子，應(yīng)該去例子之后找論點句。所以多諾萬的故事就是為了引出下文的網(wǎng)絡(luò)時代的諜報產(chǎn)業(yè)。答案是[A] introduce the topic of online spying。

　　23題：The phrase “making the biggest splash” most probably means ____.

　　[A] causing the biggest trouble

　　[B] exerting the greatest effort

　　[C] achieving the greatest success

　　[D] enjoying the widest popularity

　　定位句：Among the firms making the biggest splash in this new world is Straitford, Inc.... Straitford makes money by selling the results of spying.題干要求推測該短語的含義，根據(jù)定位句說在所有的公司當(dāng)中，Straitford是最突出的一個，接著說它通過售賣情報掙到了錢。說明這是一個在行業(yè)內(nèi)做的很成功的公司，所以選擇[C] achieving the greatest success。

　　24題：It can be learned from Paragraph 4 that ________.

　　[A] Straitford’s prediction about Ukraine has proved true

　　[B] Straitford guarantees the truthfulness of its information

　　[C] Straitford’s business is characterized by unpredictability

　　[D] Straitford is able to provide fairly reliable information

　　定位句：Open-source spying does have its risks, of course, since it can be difficult to tell good information from bad. That’s where Straitford earns its keep.開放來源的情報是有風(fēng)險的，因為很難區(qū)分信息的好壞，而Straitford公司就是靠這個謀生的。說明該公司可以幫助人們辨別信息。所以答案是[D] Straitford is able to provide fairly reliable information該公司提供的信息是相當(dāng)可靠的。
