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 The advent of the center will possibly free the country from the situation that it is always buying almost-outdated technologies from other countries, said the country’s flagship chipmaker.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.

A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned

參考答案：1.B.分析：利用題干中的特征詞US$14 million作為答案線索，這樣發現答案相關句：The center, which will start out with about US$14million,, will help the country develop its chip industry without always depending on imported technology. (該句句意不足以說明問題句是否正確)

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 (賣主)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 的指代內容是解題關鍵，而前句中提到的是chip industry的發展， 因此判斷“the situation in the industry” 就是指“芯片工業的發展情況”，所以根據該句的句意 (1400萬美圓的投資仍然是很小數目的投資)判斷問題句的說法不正確。)

2.C.分析：以題干中的核心結構military purposes和top priorities作為答案線索 ( 同時注意文章中出現的這些線索結構的近義/反義結構)，于是發現相關句：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.

發現答案相關句中沒有談到“優先發展用于軍事目的的芯片”，因此判斷問題句的說法為“沒提到”。

3. C.分析：利用題干中的核心結構licensing fees(執照費)作為答案線索(因為該詞是特定的表達，所以可以在文章中只查找該詞), 查找答案相關句：Moreover, the high licensing fees (與“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.發現相關句的內容中只涉及到了問題句中的部分內容(有關執照費用的高低問題)，而問題句中提到的 “cannot afford to pay(沒能力支付)”在文章中沒有對應的內容，因此判斷問題句的說法為“沒提到”。

4.A.分析：該題所涉及到的相關句在第2題中已經出現了：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. (許多國外政府不允許他們進口最先進的技術，因為擔心這些技術將被用于軍事目的)根據該句句意判斷問題句的說法正確。

5. C.分析：利用題干中的核心詞flagship chipmakers作為答案線索，這樣在文章中找到答案相關句：The advent(出現，到來) 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的句子并沒有說flagship chipmaker是由美國投資者所擁有， 可見文章中的答案相關句中根本沒有反映出問題句中的信息，因此判斷該問題句的為沒提到。

6. A.分析：利用題干中的核心詞Mainstream chip 作為答案線索，這樣在文章中找到相關句：As mainstream chip production technology shifts from one generation to the next every three to five years, 該句含義是“主流芯片生產技術每3年到5年就會進行更新換代”，根據該句句意判斷問題句的說法“正確”。

7. B.分析：利用題干中的特殊結構 --數量詞(10 chip plants)作為答案線索，這樣發現答案相關句：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. 從相關句中得出的結論恰恰是“依靠他人”，而不是“依靠自己”，因此判斷問題句的說法錯誤。
