天域名校C篇深度阅读
C
① For want of a chip, the factory was lost. On May 18th Toyota became the latest carmaker forced to cut production in a global shortage of microchips, announcing it would stop work at two of its plants in Japan. Other car makers have also had to send workers home.
② The pain is not limited to the car industry, for the shortage spans all sorts of chips, from the expensive, high-tech devices that power smartphones and data-centers to the simple sensors and micro-controllers that have become a vital commodity(商品). This chip drought is the result of the covid-19 pandemic interacting with an industry that is subject to cycles of boom and bust.
③“The most important thing”, says Malcolm Penn,who runs a chip-industry consultancy, "is that shortages are a natural part of the industry.” Chipmaking is a good example of a"pork-cycle"business, named for the regular swings between under-and over-supply in pork markets. As with pigs,the supply of chips cannot quickly react to changes in demand.Capacity was tight even before the pandemic, says Mr Penn, pointing out that investment by chipmakers in factory equipment has been below its long-term average for many years.
④The pandemic arrived at the worst possible time. After an early crash, demand in several fields boomed.
Locked-down consumers bought laptops and other devices. Cloud-computing operators added servers to deal with the wave of home-workers. The car industry was particularly badly hit by a decision to cut orders early in the pandemic——demand for cars has since recovered. But the complexities of the production process mean it takes time to recover. “I can cancel my orders in an afternoon," says Mr.Penn. “If I want to start them up again, that takes months---and that capacity is now busy serving other customers.”
⑤But the pork cycle is turning once again. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, the world's biggest chipmaker, plans to spend $30bn on new capacity this year. Two other giants, have also decided on further investment. That will bring relief to the wider economy, but not immediately. The boss of IBM said he thought the shortages might last for two years. And, says Mr Penn,when the drought eventually ends, chipmakers may find they face a familiar problem on a bigger scale: a capacity investment in response to serious shortages today could well mean a sizeable surplus(过剩)tomorrow.
28.How does the author illustrate the cyclical nature of chipmaking in paragraph 3
A.By referring to a quotation. B.By making a comparison.
C.By drawing a conclusion. D.By presenting an argument.
29.What may the investment mentioned in paragraph 5 eventually lead to
A.Improved supply chain stability. B.Timely assistance to the business.
C.Economic growth in related sectors. D.Possible future oversupply of chips.
30.What can we learn from the passage
A.Production capacity would recover soon.
B.A combination of reasons led to chip shortage.
C.An investment of $30bn was enough for the problem.

本文中的小知识点：（猪周期（hog cycle），也可以叫做pork cycle，是一种经济现象（economic phenomenon），指“价高伤民，价贱伤农”的周期性供应和价格波动（cyclical fluctuations of supply and prices）怪圈。该词1925年最早出现在美国。梳理最近15年的猪价变化，大致有5个“猪周期”。从波峰来看，分别出现在2001、2004、2008、2011年和今年。“猪周期”的循环轨迹一般是：肉价上涨——母猪存栏量（numbers of sows on hand）大增——生猪供应增加——肉价下跌——大量淘汰母猪——生猪供应减少——肉价上涨。一个完整的“猪周期”一般在2-3年左右。）

答案：
C
For want of a chip, the factory was lost. On May 18th Toyota became the latest carmaker forced to cut production in a global shortage of microchips, announcing it would stop work at two of its plants in Japan. Other car makers have also had to send workers home.
EVENT: global shortage of microchips carmakers cut production/stop work/ send workers home
② The pain(指的是第一段中汽车制造商们不得不缩减生产，遣员回家) is not limited to the car industry, for the shortage spans all sorts of chips, from the expensive, high-tech devices that power smartphones and data-centers to the simple sensors and micro-controllers that have become a vital commodity(商品). This chip drought (文中另外的表述为： chip shortage )is the result of the covid-19 pandemic interacting with an industry that is subject to cycles of boom and bust. (be the result of...表明，此句讲的是chip drought 的原因)
The reason for chip shortage: covid-19 pandemic + cycles of boom and bust
(注意：interact 表明原因肯定不是唯一的)
③“The most important thing”, says Malcolm Penn, who runs a chip-industry consultancy, "is that shortages are a natural part of the industry.” Chipmaking is a good example of a "pork-cycle" business, named for the regular swings between under-and over-supply in pork markets. （翻译此句：芯片制造是“猪周期”一个很好的例子，“猪周期”指的是猪肉市场供应不足和供应过剩的周期性波动。 ）As with pigs, the supply of chips cannot quickly react to changes in demand. Capacity was tight even before the pandemic, says Mr Penn, pointing out that investment by chipmakers in factory equipment has been below its long-term average for many years.(细读此两句，在疫情之前，芯片的生产是不足还是过剩？那些表述能表明？
自然是供应不足：cannot quickly react to changes in demand, capacity was tight, investment below its long-term average )
④The pandemic arrived at the worst possible time（此处可能最坏的时候，指的是供应最不足的时候
__________,与下一句中的 crash 对应）. After an early crash, demand in several fields boomed. Locked-down consumers bought laptops and other devices. Cloud-computing operators added servers to deal with the wave of home-workers. The car industry was particularly badly hit by a decision to cut orders early in the pandemic——demand for cars has since recovered.（思考：在这几句描述中，疫情的到来是加剧了芯片的供应不足，还是缓解了芯片的供应不足？ 自然是加剧 。） But the complexities of the production process mean it takes time to recover. “I can cancel my orders in an afternoon," says Mr.Penn. “If I want to start them up again, that takes months---and that capacity is now busy serving other customers.” （ 引用Mr.Penn.的话是为了说明什么？缓解芯片供应不足是需要时间的。）
思考：段落二、三、四是什么逻辑关系？ 段落三、四解释了段落二中提到的芯片短缺的原因。
⑤But the pork cycle is turning once again.（此处的is turning once again 指的是 芯片生产即将由供应不足转为供应过剩 。） Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, the world's biggest chipmaker, plans to spend $30bn on new capacity this year. Two other giants, have also decided on further investment. That will bring relief to the wider economy, but not immediately. The boss of IBM said he thought the shortages might last for two years.
