问题 Why dose the author hold the opinion that the IBM personal computer is a rare exception?
As a result of an industry standardization, PC becomes ______.

选项 A、more and more popular.
B、more and more effective
C、more and more efficient.
D、more and more portable.

答案A

解析 第二段结尾:The PC’s architecture was not perfect,but its adoption as an industry standard…This in turn reduced prices and enabled the PC to democratise computing.本题相对比较简单,此题的思维方式与2007年第3篇文章第2题很相似。题干问及由于M事件的发生导致N的结果。根据原文,工业标准化导致了计算机软硬件产业的规模化、PC机的价格下降以及计算机的普及。本题还考到一个单词"democratise",这个词的本意是"民主化",但在文中可以理解为使计算机普及的意思。因此A正确。注意:考研大纲中的词汇之所以没有中文翻译,是因为很多中英文单词之间很难划等号,用简单的几个中文词语来解释英文单词的含义往往不够准确,而且很难把英文词语的文化内涵及感情色彩表达出来,这一点也恰恰成了阅读的出题点。effective"有效的,产生预期结果的",如The law is no longer effective.该法案已失效。efficient"(人)能胜任的;有能力的",如He’s efficient at his job.他能胜任工作。也指"(工具、机器、系统等)有效力的"。二者均不如A切合题意。是否便于携带,文章中没有提到,故D选项不正确。
