问题 Acknowledging that so-called cloud computing will blur the distinctions between computers  and networks,about two dozen big information technology companies plan to announce a new standardize a set of technologies pioneered at Stanford and the University of California,Berkeley,and meant to make small and large networks programmable in much the same way that individual computers are.
    The changes,if widely adopted,would have implications for global telecommunications networks and large corporate data centers,but also for small lhousehold networks.The benefits,proponents say,would be more flexible and secure networks that are less likely to suffer from congestion.Someday,they say,networks might even be less expensive to build and operate.The new telecommunications companies,like Verizon or AT&T,use software to combine several fiber optic backbones temporarily for particularly heavy information loads and thenhave them automatically separate when a data rush hour is over.For households,the new capabilities might let Internet service providers offer remote services like home security or energy control.
    The foundation’s organizers also say the new technologies will offer ways to improve security and could possibly enhance individual privacy within the e-commerce and social networking markets.Those markets are the fastest-growing uses for computing and network resources.While the new capabilities could be crucial to network engineers,for business users and consumers the changes might be no more noticeable than advances in plumbing,heating and air-conditioning.Everything might work better,but most users would probably not know or care why or how.
    The members of the Open Networking Foundation will include Broadcom,Brocade,Ciena,Cisco,Citrix,Dell,Deutsche Telekom Ericsson,Facebook,Force 10,Google,Hewlett-Packard,I.
What is the main purpose of the Open Networking Foundation?

选项 A、To set new standards for computer networking.
B、To promote cloud computing.
C、To enhance the capabilities of network engineers.
D、To make networks less expensive to build and operate.

答案A

解析 根据文章第一段“…about two dozen big information technology companies plan to announce on Tuesday a new standards-setting group for computer networking.The group,to be called the Open Networking Foundation,hopes to help standardize a set of technologies…”,20多个信息技术公司联合宣布了一个计算机连网标准制定组织,这个组织就是“开放网络基金会”(the openNetworking Foundation),希望将一系列网络技术标准化……由此可知,该组织的目的在于为计算机连网制定新标准。
