Question

Microsoft has stopped providing service for Windows XP since April 8. The computers that use the XP system are not as safe as before.
The "demise" of Windows XP will have the greatest influence on China because it has about 210 million XP users, who make up about 70.percent of the PC market in the world. Microsoft's decision to "kill" Windows XP, a product with hundreds of millions of users, has a certain purpose to show its strong position in the operating system market.

At the same time, the "death" of XP has created opportunities for China's IT companies to grow and develop.
In fact, shortly after Microsoft announced the “demise” of XP,some Chinese IT security(安全)providers were willing to offer safe solutions for XP users who do not change into a new system.
Information security is crucial for the IT companies, and the key to safeguarding information is the core technology, which very much depends on innovation(革新).
Although China has some well-known IT companies, it still does not have the core technology to develop an operating system. Many people are always complaining about and criticizing.  Therefore, only by having information technology and a policy that encourages innovation can China break the monopoly(壟斷)of international IT giants and protect the internet security.

Answer 1

小題1:given up
小題2:300 million
小題3:Only by having information technology and policy that encourages innovation.
小題4:事實上，在微軟宣布停用XP之后，中國IT安全軟件供應商很快就愿意為沒有換新系統的XP用戶提供安全措施。
小題5:The “demise” of Windows XP has influenced China/ Chinese IT companies.

試題分析：這篇短文主要講述的是今年4月8號起，微軟公司停止向全世界的用戶提供Windows XP的服務，這對中國有很大的影響，因為中國使用XP的用戶占了全世界微軟用戶的70%。但是中國的安全軟件供應商已經做出回應，愿意給那些沒有更換新系統的用戶提供安全措施。只有通過信息技術，鼓勵革新，中國才能打破國際互聯網巨頭的壟斷。
小題1:根據短文第一句話Microsoft has stopped providing service for Windows XP since April 8可知，從4月8號起，微軟公司已經停止了提供Windows XP服務。由此可知，這里我們應該用give up放棄，即停止做某事了。
小題2:根據短文第二段中The "demise" of Windows XP will have the greatest influence on China because it has about 210 million XP users, who make up about 70.percent of the PC market in the world可知，在中國，Windows XP的用戶有2億1千萬，占世界市場的70%，由此我們可以計算，在世界上Windows XP的用戶是大約3億。故填300 million。
小題3:根據短文的最后部分Therefore, only by having information technology and a policy that encourages innovation can China break the monopoly(壟斷)of international IT giants and protect the internet security可知，只有通過擁有信息技術和鼓勵革新中國才能打破IT巨頭的壟斷，保護互聯網的安全。
小題4:in fact 是一個固定的短語，意思是事實上，實際上；shortly after在……之后不久；be willing to do sth.愿意去做某事；句中who do not change into a new system 是一個定語從句，修飾名詞XP users。
小題5:這篇短文主要講述的是今年4月8號起，微軟公司停止向全世界的用戶提供Windows XP的服務，這對中國有很大的影響，因為中國使用XP的用戶占了全世界微軟用戶的70%。但是中國的安全軟件供應商已經做出回應，愿意給那些沒有更換新系統的用戶提供安全措施。
