2015年12月英语四级阅读解析：硅谷之所以为硅谷

　　2015年12月19日全国大学英语四级考试已结束，本次考试为多题多卷，以下是2015年12月英语四级阅读解析：

　　首先，我们通过文章可以了解到，该篇阅读的主要内容与之前四级考试所关注的阅读文章的`主题类似，也是关于科技话题的。在这篇文章中，作者主要阐释了硅谷之所以成为硅谷的不可替代和复制性。主要原因为：(1)rich people;(2)nerds。是这两个原因成就了硅谷。文章中，作者拿硅谷和迈阿密、康奈尔及波士顿进行了对比，总结得出：其他的三个城市之所以不能成为硅谷第二的原因。

　　接下来，我们就第一篇阅读的答案选项和各位同学一起分享下：

　　第56题，what do we learn about Silicon Valley from the passage? 这道题目直接可以定位到文中的第一段中：Could you please reproduce Silicon Valley elsewhere， or is there something unique about it? 然后在下文中，作者又进一步的指出了硅谷不可代替性的原因。所以答案选项为：Its success is hard to copy anywhere else

　　第57题，what makes Miami unfit to produce a Silicon Valley? 这道题目可以定位到原文中的第五段，文中直接指出：it has few nerds。 It is not the kind of place nerds like。 这样就可以直接选出：Lack of the right kind of talents。

　　第58题，In what way is Carnegie-Mellon different from Stanford， Berkeley and MIT? 根据题干信息，我们可以直接定位到文中的第六和七段：the weather is terrible， particular in winter， and there ‘s no interesting old city to make up for it， as there is in Boston。 所以选项很明了：Its location is not as attractive to rich people

　　第59题，what does the author imply about Boston? 这道题的关键就在于the weather is terrible， particular in winter， and there ‘s no interesting old city to make up for it， as there is in Boston中的as一词，这里as 后引导的是 there is no interesting old city to make up for it in Boston。所以正确选项为：what does the author59.It is not likely to attract lots of investors and nerds

　　say about startup investors? 这道题在文中定位到最后一段：startup investors are a distinct 。。。。。。as well as money。 这样该题正确选项为：They can do more than providing money

　　希望以上答案能够给各位考生提供参考帮助，且预祝各位考生考试成功。
