Passage Four
Why did IBM decide to sell its PC business
A．Because IBM has been brewing this sale for about 10 years.
B．Because IBM is going to produce mobile phones that have access to the Internet.
C．Because IBM can enlarge its PC sales with this merger.
D．Because IBM no longer enjoys any edges in PC making.
答案
参考答案：D
解析：
[分析]： 因果关系的找寻和判断。 关于IBM出售其个人电脑业务的原因，原文中某分析家的观点给予说明：It fits with their decade-old strategy of disinvesting in those areas where they don’t have an advantage IBM 此举符合其十年来一贯策略，即从那些以失去优势的领域内抽回投资。由此可见， D项内容与原文相符，因此是正确答案。[解题关键] 同义词替换。原文中don’t have an advantage 与选项中no longer enjoys any edges意思相当。
