高口第二篇SAQ来自于Newsweek杂志的一篇文章，昂立的老师和考生们一起回忆了原文中的关键词，找到了网上的原文(http://www.newsweek.com/id/117825)， 也回忆了主要的问题。在这里，我们对本文分析如下：
本文提到一个十分有趣的创意，美国MIT（麻省理工学院）的一位科学家Carlo Ratti和美国最大的电信运营商AT&T合作，制作了一面墙大小的特殊地图，放在纽约现代艺术博物馆(New York’s Museum of Modern Art)，上面用灯光展示电话通讯，数据传送的流量，同时，非常有趣的是，每个地区的陆地大小会根据通讯流量而变化（As flows of telecommunications data change, arcs of light, glowing dots and landmasses expand and shrink）。这样“全球化”(globalization)就变得非常直观了。要当心的一点，原文中的“Big Apple”指的就是New York，可能很多同学不知道“大苹果”就是纽约的绰号。

第一个问题：问Ratti做的研究是什么？这个研究告诉我们关于“全球化”的哪些信息？
应该说，这段回答不难在原文找到答案，关键在于我们如何总结和尽可能精练地回答。在括号中的内容其实不回答也没有关系。
Carlo Ratti launched a very interesting research about globalization. (这句话放在这里是为了给阅卷老师一个好印象) Working with data from AT&T, （the US telecommunications operator）, he and his team at MIT have developed luminous and fluctuating maps that show how international phones calls and data traffic travel between New York. As flows of telecommunications data change, arcs of light, glowing dots and landmasses expand and shrink. This research is a good approximate measure of globalization, giving a more complete picture of overall activity. (This research also shows the importance of New York in the era of globalization. When it is day in New York, callers in other time zones get up very early, or stay up very late, to talk to New York. And New York is also more important than other metropolitan cities like London.)

        第二个问题：问为什么作者要提一下航空业（airline industry）?
本题的答案非常清楚，在原文倒数第二小节。
Maps of telecommunication are very helpful to airline industry. Since this industry is always looking for ways to better understand the degree of “connectedness” between cities. By observing the data flow between the two cities, route planners can improve their estimations of the number of likely passengers. This way of gauging potential profitability of a new route is much better than the traditional ways of estimation used by the industry.

        第三个问题，原文中提到一个说法，是最后一小节中的globalization losers, 问这些losers与通信基础设施之间是什么关系？
为了能使自己的回答给阅卷者以更好的印象，最好一开始根据原文解释一下什么是globalization loser，当然相关的信息都在最后一小节。
Globalization losers are those countries left behind in the information age, mostly developing and underdeveloped countries. A well-developed telecommunications infrastructure can nudge populations in the developing world (globalization losers) toward not only wealth but also democracy. (When people are able to communicate wide and far and access information online, they see themselves as empowered stakeholders in a society that they can improve.) Phone networks are powerful tools for democracy and modernity because immigrants call family members and friends abroad to deliver eyewitness reports, unfiltered by media, of new ways of living. (Humanity has never been so connected.)
