参考解析
解析：
事实细节的找寻和判断。从录音中提到的“The RAMAC, designed in Big Blue’s San Jose, Calif., research center”，可知RAMAC是在Big Blue’s San Jose, Calif., research center 制造的，而非B项提到的IBM research center。此外，C项中的24 spinning disks与录音中its 50 spinning…disks的内容不符。关于租用该设备的价格，录音中提到“to lease it you’d pay about $250,000 a year in today’s dollars”，而选项D则指出租赁价格为$260,000，显然与录音原文不符。A项的内容在录音中直接出现过。
【录音原文】
On September l3, 1956, IBM shipped the first unit of the RAMAC, in other words, Random Access Method of Accounting and Control. The RAMAC, designed in Big Blue’s San Jose, Calif., research center would have made a lousy music player. The drive weighed a full ton, and to lease it you’d pay about $250, 000 a year in today’s dollars. Since it required a separate air compressor to protect the two moving “heads” that read and wrote information, it was noisy. The total amount of information stored in its 50 spinning iron-oxide-coated disks—each of them a pizza-size 24 inches—was 5 megabytes.
