Micro-chip research center created

A research center has been set up in this far-east country to develop advanced micro-chip production technology. The center, which will start out with about US$14million,will help the country develop its chip industry without always depending on imported technology.

The center will make use of its research skills and facilities to develop new technology for domestic chip plants. The advent of the center will possibly free the country from the situation that it is always buying almost-outdated technologies from other countries, said the country’s flagship chipmaker. Currently, chip plants in this country are in a passive situation because many foreign governments don’t allow them to import the most advanced technologies, fearing they will be used for military purposes. Moreover, the high licensing fees they have to pay to technology provider are also an important reason for their decision of self-reliance.

As mainstream chip production technology shifts from one generation to the next every three to five years, plants with new technology can make more powerful chips at lower costs, while plants with out-dated equipment, which often cost billions of dollars to build, will be marginalized by the maker.

More than 10 chip plants are being built, each costing millions of U.S. dollars. the majority of that money goes to overseas equipment vendors and technology owners- mainly from Japan and Singapore.

Should the new center play a major role in improving the situation in industry, the country admits the US$14million in vestment is still rather small. This country is developing comprehensive technologies. Most of the investment will be spent on setting alliances with technology and intellectual property owners.

练习：

3. Although the licensing fees are not very high, that far-east country cannot afford to pay.

A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned

4. Many western countries ban the exporting of the most advanced chip- making technologies to that country to prevent them from being used for military purposes.

A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned

5. Currently, almost all the flagship chipmakers in that country are owned by American investors.

A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned

6. Mainstream chip production technology develop rapidly.

A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned

7. More than 10 chip plants being built in that country are an example of self-reliance.

A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned

参考答案：1.B.分析：利用题干中的特征词US$14 million作为答案线索，这样发现答案相关句：The center, which will start out with about US$14million,, will help the country develop its chip industry without always depending on imported technology. (该句句意不足以说明问题句是否正确)

More than 10 chip plants are being built, each costing millions of U.S. dollars. The majority of that money goes to overseas equipment vendors (卖主)and technology owners- mainly from Japan and Singapore.

Should the new center play a major role in improving the situation in the industry, the country admits the US $14 million in vestment is still rather small. (the situation in the industry 的指代内容是解题关键，而前句中提到的是chip industry的发展， 因此判断“the situation in the industry” 就是指“芯片工业的发展情况”，所以根据该句的句意 (1400万美圆的投资仍然是很小数目的投资)判断问题句的说法不正确。)

2.C.分析：以题干中的核心结构military purposes和top priorities作为答案线索 ( 同时注意文章中出现的这些线索结构的近义/反义结构)，于是发现相关句：Currently, chip plants in this country are in a passive situation because many foreign governments don’t allow them to import the most advanced technologies, fearing they will be used for military purposes.

发现答案相关句中没有谈到“优先发展用于军事目的的芯片”，因此判断问题句的说法为“没提到”。

3. C.分析：利用题干中的核心结构licensing fees(执照费)作为答案线索(因为该词是特定的表达，所以可以在文章中只查找该词), 查找答案相关句：Moreover, the high licensing fees (与“are not very high”不矛盾)they have to pay to technology provider are also an important reason for their decision of self- reliance.发现相关句的内容中只涉及到了问题句中的部分内容(有关执照费用的高低问题)，而问题句中提到的 “cannot afford to pay(没能力支付)”在文章中没有对应的内容，因此判断问题句的说法为“没提到”。

4.A.分析：该题所涉及到的相关句在第2题中已经出现了：Currently, chip plants in this country are in a passive situation because many foreign governments don’t allow them to import the most advanced technologies, fearing they will be used for military purposes. (许多国外政府不允许他们进口最先进的技术，因为担心这些技术将被用于军事目的)根据该句句意判断问题句的说法正确。

5. C.分析：利用题干中的核心词flagship chipmakers作为答案线索，这样在文章中找到答案相关句：The advent(出现，到来) of the center will possibly free the country from the situation that it is always buying almost- outdated technologies from other countries, said the country’s flagship chipmaker. 文章中涉及到flagship chipmaker的句子并没有说flagship chipmaker是由美国投资者所拥有， 可见文章中的答案相关句中根本没有反映出问题句中的信息，因此判断该问题句的为没提到。

6. A.分析：利用题干中的核心词Mainstream chip 作为答案线索，这样在文章中找到相关句：As mainstream chip production technology shifts from one generation to the next every three to five years, 该句含义是“主流芯片生产技术每3年到5年就会进行更新换代”，根据该句句意判断问题句的说法“正确”。

7. B.分析：利用题干中的特殊结构 --数量词(10 chip plants)作为答案线索，这样发现答案相关句：More than 10 chip plants are being built, each costing millions of U.S. dollars. The majority of that money goes to overseas equipment vendors and technology owners- mainly from Japan and Singapore. 从相关句中得出的结论恰恰是“依靠他人”，而不是“依靠自己”，因此判断问题句的说法错误。
