问题    Excerpt 1:
   A wave of Apple iPhone 5 buyers is bound to boost the stocks of Apple’s mobile partners.
   Apple stock has risen 6% since Sept. 11 , the day before the company unveiled the sixth generation of the iPhone, which hits stores on Friday. Apple shares reached an all-time high of $702. 10 Wednesday.
   Excerpt 2:
   Investors are trading on Apple’s announcement that it sold more than 2 million phones last weekend in preorders and on analysts’ increased sales expectations. But Apple stock—up 73% this year—isn’t the only investment play. The rising tide of iPhone 5 sales is positioned to boost the stocks of businesses whose technologies are packed inside the smartphone and of wireless carriers that will sell the phone.
   " If iPhone 5 shipments are stronger than anyone expects, you’ll certainly see Apple’s stock go up and all of the component suppliers go up," says Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Dale Pfau.
   Excerpt 3:
   According to Bilton, analysts and investors think a reasonable assumption given the current trends is that Apple will crack the $1 trillion plateau on April 9, 2015, at around 11a. m. , which seems strangely specific all things considered. But, Bilton warns, there are other analysts who think Apple could do it within the year. Yes, they think Apple could do it by August 16, 2013. No specific time was given.
   Excerpt 4:
   Having Apple skyrocket up the stock market charts with a bullet to the tune of another $ 350 billion is unlikely. "It’s hard to imagine Apple growing any faster," said Michael E. Driscoll, chief executive a big data and predictive analytics company, who thinks the 2015 guesstimate is right. But with the new iPhone in an hour, well, anything is possible. When the original iPhone came out, it was better looking and performing than anything else out there. The iPhone 5 gave us features offered in other phones with a smaller screen than competitors.
   Excerpt 5:
   There is a chance Apple never reaches a $1 trillion valuation, though. As Bilton, Microsoft was once worth $616 billion. They never made it. Could Apple be the next tech giant to collapse? "Every kingdom must crumble, right? What could be the downfall of such a mighty tech company? Their maps app. Indeed, the flap over the poor-quality maps on the iPhone 5 has led some people to wonder if Apple has already jumped the shark," Bilton warns.
   Excerpt 6:
   Some analysts expect Apple to sell up to 10 million iPhone 5 models before the end of September. JP Morgan estimates the phone could provide a $3. 2-billion boost to the U. S. economy in the fourth quarter.
   Apple’s rival and component supplier, Samsung, moved to spoil the party, saying it plans to add the iPhone 5 to its existing patent lawsuits against Apple.
As a result of the hot sale of iPhone 5, the stocks of the following companies will rise EXCEPT______.
选项 A、Apple’s mobile partners
B、mighty tech companies like Microsoft
C、Apple’s component suppliers
D、wireless carriers that will sell the phone
答案B
解析     细节题中的NOT TRUE题型或EXCEPT题型。首先，要读懂题目，本题问的是由于iPhone 5的热销，以下哪个公司的股票不会随之上涨。然后，根据各答案选项中的关键词逐一回原文中定位，再结合排除法做题。A选项Apple’s mobile partners(苹果手机的合作伙伴)出现在Excerpt 1的第一句中，根据A wave of Apple iPhone 5 buyers is bound to boost the stocks of Apple’s mobile partners的语义，苹果手机合作伙伴的股票一定会随之上涨，与题目要求不符，应该排除。C、D两个选项集中出现在Excerpt 2中。C选项Apple’s component suppliers(苹果的零件供应商)出现在第二段的第一句里；D选项wireless carriers that will sell the phone(卖手机的无线运营商)出现在第一段的最后一句中。根据原文这两句话可以排除这两个选项。而B选项mighty tech companies like Microsoft(像微软这样强大的科技公司)则出现在Excerpt 5中关于苹果价值能否突破1万亿美元大关的讨论，未涉及此类公司的股票涨跌问题，因此B是正确答案。
