　　今天的句子：

　　“Apple has made enormous investments in Arm chip design and it’s logical that it extends that capability beyond the iPhone and iPad,” said Geoff Blaber of analysts CCS Insight. “Its motivations for doing so include reducing its dependence on Intel, maximising its silicon investment, boosting performance, and giving itself more flexibility and agility when it comes to future products.” Now that Microsoft and Apple are switching to their own chips, and with Google also rumored to be working on similar own-brand ARM chips, Intel is in danger of seeing significant erosion of its dominant position.

　　思考题：

　　Who will be most likely to suffer from Apple’s recent chip investment?

　　(A) Google (B) Intel (C) chip industry (D)Microsoft

　　句子解析：

　　第一句：

　　“Apple has made enormous investments in Arm chip design and it’s logical that it extends that capability beyond the iPhone and iPad,” said Geoff Blaber of analysts CCS Insight.

　　参考译文：CCS Insight的分析师杰夫·布拉伯说，“苹果对ARM芯片的设计投资巨大，因此将这种能力扩展到iPhone和iPad之外合乎情理。”

　　第二句：

　　“Its motivations for doing so include reducing its dependence on Intel,maximising its silicon investment, boosting performance, and giving itself more flexibility and agility when it comes to future products.”

　　参考译文：“苹果这么做的动机包括减少对英特尔的依赖，最大化其芯片投资的效益，提高性能，并令其在未来产品的开发上更加灵活、敏捷。”

　　第三句：

　　Now that (Microsoft and Apple are switching to their own chips状语从句的主句), and with Google also rumoured to be working on similar own-brand ARM chips(状语从句的状语), Intel is in danger (主句)of seeing significant erosion of its dominant position(状语).

　　参考译文：微软和苹果正在转向自研芯片，而且也有传言说谷歌正在开发类似的自有品牌ARM芯片，英特尔的主导地位存在被显著削弱的风险。

　　思考题解析：

　　Who will be most likely to suffer from Apple’s recent chip investment?

　　谁最有可能受到苹果最近的芯片投资的负面影响?

　　(A) Google (B) Intel (C) chip industry (D)Microsoft

　　定位最后一句：

　　Intel is in danger of seeing significant erosion of its dominant position.

　　英特尔的主导地位存在被显著削弱的风险

　　(B) Intel 正确!

　　定位正确，成功一半!

　　有干扰性的是C选项。

　　但是文章毕竟没有提到对整个行业的影响。

　　而且题干有个most 这样就更锁定了B选项!
