Last week,Verizon and Google proposed a plan they say could keep the Internet open while supporting(41)investment in high-speed Internet service.Verizon has the nation's biggest wireless network while Google is the biggest Internet search engine.The proposal was a surprise because the two companies have been on opposite sides of the debate over net neutrality.That is the idea that all content on the Web should be treated equally.Internet service providers want to be able to charge more for heavy Internet traffic or users who want (42)special services.The Federal Communications Commission regulates telephone,cable and satellite communications.But its power to regulate Internet service has been questioned in the courts.The new proposal calls for rules barring service providers from preventing users from sending and receiving (43)legal information of any kind.Users also could not be prevented from (44)linking any application,service or device they choose to the Web.And broadband Internet providers would be (45)prohibited from discriminating against content and would have to be open about their policies.Supporters of net neutrality criticized the proposal for not (46)includingwireless providers.Wireless broadband is among the fastest growing parts of the Internet.Others oppose the (47)creation of a"two-tiered"system on the Internet in which some content gets a fast lane and other content goes slowly.But Daniel Brenner says such a system already exists.DANIEL BRENNER:"In some ways there are two tiers today.In other words,there's the public Internet which we all use for Web surfing,e-mail and sometimes for voice.And then there are managed networks."Daniel Brenner is a partner at the law firm Hogan Lovells in Washington.He says service providers want to be able to charge more because they build networks out to their customers across the country.Such companies are the so-called"last mile"providers.But,the Internet is really a network of networks which exchange traffic all the time and compete with each other.And not all networks reach the last mile to a customer's door.Paul Kouroupas of Global Crossing says his company wants to make sure (48)agreements between service providers are honored on all networks.That way,a service promised by Global Crossing on its fiber optic network will be (49)extended all the way to a customer's door-even if another company carries the service that last mile.The Verizon-Google proposal offers (50)suggestions for a debate that is not likely to end soon.Daniel Brenner says the FCC needs clearer guidelines from Congress.
分析 谷歌和Verizon联手提出了一项计划,他们称该计划既可以保持网络的公开性,又能够支持对高速网络服务的投资.文章主要分析了两种不同提议的利弊以及最终的对策.
解答 41.H.investment 名词辨析.从下文可以看出Verizon and Google共同提出计划及目的:保持网络的公开性和支持对高速网络服务的投资. investment 符合.
42.F.special 形容词辨析.互联网服务提供商想更多的管理互联网的使用繁忙问题以及希望能够提供特别服务的用户,此处指的是一些有某种特定要求的用户,故答案为special.
43.K.legal 形容词辨析.这里是说在网上上传和接受的任何合法的信息也是要被监管的,所以用legal information;故答案为legal.
44.G.linking 动词辨析.用户在连接任何应用的时候也不会被阻止,prevent sb from doing sth阻止某人做某事,可确定后面应该填写动名词形式,由此就可以将答案限定在A和G项中,根据后面的介词to可知,构成短语link…to…,将…和…连接起来;故答案为linking.
45.D.prohibited 动词辨析.这是强调禁止宽带供应商对网络内容带有歧视,同时要求公开他们的政策;prohibit sb from doing sth禁止某人做某事;用其被动结构来完成句子;故答案为prohibited.
46.A.including 动词辨析.后面提到了无线宽带的迅速发展,所以那些支持网络中立的人批评这一提议没有包含无线网络的用户;故答案为including.
47.B.creation 名词辨析.本句中动词oppose后面缺少一个宾语,结合前面的定冠词the可知,后面需要一个名词形式,结合后面的定语of a"two-tiered"system on the Internet可知,此处应该是这种提议或者创想,故答案为creation.
48 I.agreements 名词辨析.要确保两个服务商之间的协议要惠及广大的网络用户,between service providers 修饰名词agreements;故答案为agreements.
49.C.extended 动词辨析.分析句子结构可知,本空应该填一个动词的适当形式,即拓展网络的服务方式,故答案为extended.
50.E.suggestions 名词辨析.此处指两家公司提供的建议,而且这种争议是不会很快就结束的;故答案为suggestions.
