英语六级攻克阅读关键句239. The UK network of Business Links confirms

239. The UK network of Business Links confirms that it too has seen a growing interest in remote working solutions from small businesses seeking its advice, and claims that as many as 60-70% of the businesses that come through its doors now offer some form of remote working support to their workforces.

译文　英国商务网证实，他们也发现小公司对远程办公越来越感兴趣，并向该网寻求建议。他们声称，现在这些公司中通过该网络门户向其员工提供某种远程办公支持的业务多达60-70％。

点睛　本句的主干是The UK network of Business Links confirms that..., and claims that...。在第一个that引导的宾语从句it too has seen...中，现在分词短语seeking its advice修饰small businesses；第二个that引导的宾语从句as many as 60-70% of...to their workforces中，定语从句that come through its doors修饰the businesses。

考点归纳　offer、supply和provide三者都含有“提供”之意，但在用法上有一定的区别：

offer意为“主动提供，提出做某事”，含有愿意给予之意，常用于offer sb. sth. 或offer to do sth. 结构，后面不能接宾语从句。如：

1) I appreciate if someone offers me an internship chance. 如果有人愿意给我提供实习的机会，我会感激不尽的。

2) He offered to teach me Spanish. 他主动提出教我说西班牙语。

supply意为“供应，供给”，多指提供日常必需品或武器装备等。如：

1) The heating in our community is supplied from a modern boiler in an adjacent building. 我们社区的暖气是由附近楼房里的现代锅炉供应的。

2) Vegetables supply us with all kinds of vitamins. 蔬菜为我们提供各种维生素。

provide意为“供给，提供”，强调通过储存或准备的方式为某事做准备，以在需要时提供所需物品，常用于provide sb.(with sth.)或provide sth.(for sb.)结构。如：

1) We must provide enough money for old age. 我们必须准备足够的养老钱。

2) Our school provides us with all the books we need. 学校为我们提供所需要的所有书籍。
