1．The term"Industry 4.0"refers to the fourth industrial revolution．The first industrial revolution was the production of goods with machines like steam engines，which was followed by the second industrial revolution that introduced mass production with the help of electric power，followed by the digital revolution-the use of electronics and IT in production．
Industry 4.0is a high-tech project，which promotes the computerization of manufacturing （制造業(yè)）．The basic principle of Industry 4.0is that by connecting machines，work pieces and systems，we are creating intelligent networks along the entire value chain that can control each other automatically．The goal is the Smart Factory，which adapts well and uses resources efficiently as well as linking customers and business partners with great intelligence．Technological basis are the Internet systems and advanced factories．Experts believe that Industry 4.0could be a reality in about 10to 20years．
So，what effects does this change have on the classic manufacturing？According to an expert，"it is highly likely that the world of production will become more and more networked until everything is connected with everything else．"Networks and processes have so far been limited to one factory．But in the time of Industry 4.0，the boundaries （界限） of individual factories will most likely no longer exist．Instead，they will be lifted in order to inter-connect multiple factories or even geographical regions．
How is an Industry 4.0factory different from a today's factory？In current industry environment，providing high-end quality service or product with the least cost is the key to success．Factories are trying to increase their profit as much as possible．In the time of Industry 4.0，various data sources are available to provide worthwhile information about different aspects of the factory．Using data for understanding the current condition and checking faults and failures is a natural thing．The sharing of information around the clock and around the globe will enable these connected systems to manage themselves independently，work more efficiently and identify any errors quickly．
The good news is that Europe is much better prepared for the Industry 4.0revolution than one might think．Europe will position itself as a pioneer in the fourth revolution．Industry 4.0is a project in the high-tech strategy of the German government．Meanwhile，in the U．S．，some companies are also working hard on it．But the success of industry depends on whether business and politics can work together．It's not only politics that needs to help open the door for Industry 4.0．Every company is advised to seize the new digital opportunities．

分析 本文介紹了"Industry 4.0"也就是第四次工業(yè)革命．介紹了它的內(nèi)容，對傳統(tǒng)工業(yè)的影響以及歐洲對迎接"Industry 4.0"所做的準(zhǔn)備．
解答 50．D．根據(jù)第二段中The basic principle of Industry 4.0is that by connecting machines，work pieces and systems，we are creating intelligent networks along the entire value chain that can control each other automatically．可以知道Industry 4.0的基本原則是通過連接機(jī)器，加工物品和電腦系統(tǒng)，我們正在創(chuàng)造能夠自動控制整個價值鏈條的智能網(wǎng)絡(luò)．中心詞是intelligent networks，所以選擇D．
51．B．根據(jù)第三段中"the world of production will become more and more networked until everything is connected with everything else．"可以知道世界上的產(chǎn)品將會變的越來越網(wǎng)絡(luò)化，直到所有的東西都和其他的東西相連．所以選擇B．中心詞是 everything is connected with everything else．
52．C．根據(jù)劃線的上一句Using data for understanding the current condition and checking faults and failures is a natural thing．可以知道利用數(shù)據(jù)來理解現(xiàn)在的狀況并且檢查錯誤和失敗是一件很自然的事，所以下一句中The sharing of information around the clock and around the globe 應(yīng)該指的是分享即時的全球的信息，因此答案是C．
53．D．根據(jù)最后一段中Industry 4.0is a project in the high-tech strategy of the German government可以知道Industry 4.0是德國政府的高科技目標(biāo)之一．所以選擇D．中心詞是 a project in the high-tech strategy of the German government．
54．A．根據(jù)第四段中The sharing of information around the clock and around the globe will enable these connected systems to manage themselves independently，work more efficiently and identify any errors quickly的副詞independently獨立地，efficiently有效地，和最后一段中The good news 可以知道作者對Industry 4.0的態(tài)度是正面的，支持的．所以選擇Asupportive"支持的"．其他選項B是"消極的"，C是"懷疑的"，D是"謹(jǐn)慎的"．
點評 閱讀理解是一個長期訓(xùn)練的過程，只有持之以恒地加強針對性地訓(xùn)練，才能在高考中立于不敗之地．俗話說：解題有法，要做好閱讀理解，必須找出一定的方法，但每一個方法不一定適合所有的閱讀理解題，所以必須要多讀，多練，要勤于思考，更要學(xué)會巧讀，這樣才能達(dá)到事半功倍的效果，要不斷擴(kuò)大詞匯量，拓寬閱讀面，提高閱讀速度，同時也要探索和總結(jié)適合自己方法或，實踐出真知，多練出效益，才能在高考中立于不敗之地．
