參考答案及解析

56.原文第一段第一句反問句“Could you reproduce Silicon Valley elsewhere, or isthere something unique about it?”可得知答案選A——Its success is hard tocopy anywhere else. 選項copy同義改寫原文的reproduce。
57.由題干大寫字母Miami定位到原文第五段“Few startups happen in Miami, for example,because although it’s full of rich people, it has few nerds. It’snot the kind of place nerdslike.”由因果關(guān)系詞because找到原因——這里既是有很多富裕的人，卻幾乎沒有nerds（癡迷科研的人）。所以答案選B——Lackof the right kind of talents.
58，由題干大寫字母Carnegie-Mellon, MIT, Stanford,Berkeley等定位到第六段，問CM和其他的是哪里有不同。“The top US Computer Sciencedepartments are said to be MIT, Stanford, Berkeley, andCarnegie-Mellon. MIT yielded Route 128. Stanford and Berkeleyyielded Silicon Valley. But Carnegie-Mellon? The record skips atthat point.”原文講到了MIT, Stanford, Berkeley都yielded產(chǎn)生了很有名的sciencedepartment，而Carnegie-Mellon呢？這個記錄可以直接跳過忽略。言下之意就是CM沒有出名的sciencedepartment，所以答案選D——It does not pay much attention to businessstartups.
59題，由題干大寫字母Boston定位到倒數(shù)第二段。定位句“The weather is terrible, particularlyin winter, and there’s no interesting old city to make up for it,as there is in Boston”說到了Boston是一個無聊的老城市，而定位句的下一句“So while thereare plenty of hackers who could start startups, there’s no one toinvest in them”說到了這樣的城市無法吸引投資。所以答案選C——It is not likely to attractlots of investors and nerds.
60題，由startup investors定位到最后一段。Startupinvestors不僅富有，他們一般都經(jīng)驗豐富，而且能給提供一些建議，所以答案選C——They can do more thanproviding money.
