專升本英語模擬試題及答案(12.03)

　　A new poll shows that people believe that computers and the Internet have made life better for Americans, but people also see some dangers in the trend toward computerization.

　　The poll found that the public favors some government protection from cyber-problems, but in general people are not especially concerned about issues such as information overload or the never-ending flow of phone calls, faxes and e-mails. A separate survey of children aged 10 to 17 shows that they have a more positive attitude to computers than adults do, and most have made use of up-to-date technology in their schools.

　　The survey found that enthusiasm for computers and the Internet is found in all income groups, all regions of the country, all races, and most age groups. However, people over 60 and those towards the lower end of the income rank tend to show lower rates of computer ownership and Internet usage. The survey shows that “some kind of gap has been crossed: computers are part of everyday life for most Americans, and the Internet is close behind”.

? ? ? ?[考點]推理判斷題

　　【精析】D 根據(jù)第一段“A new poll shows that people believe that computers and the Internet have made life better for Americans, but people also see some dangers in the trend toward computerization.”可知，人們認為電腦和因特網(wǎng)使美國人的生活變得更加美好，但是他們也注意到計算機化這一發(fā)展趨勢中潛在的危險。由此可推知，計算機化既有其優(yōu)點也有其缺點。故選D。

　　2.The word “enthusiasm”(Para. 3) is closest in meaning to ______.

　　A.great love

　　B.great hatred

　　C.problem

　　D.advantage

　　【參考答案】

? ? ? ?A[考點]詞語理解題

　　【精析】A 根據(jù)第三段第一、二句“The survey found that enthusiasm for computers and the Internet is found in all income groups…However, people over 60 and those towards the lower end of the income rank tend to show lower rates of computer ownership and Internet usage.”可知，60歲以上的老人和那些收入較低的人群的電腦持有率和因特網(wǎng)使用頻率都較低。句中的However表轉(zhuǎn)折，前后兩句之間表達的意思相對立。由此可推知，第一句表達了人們對電腦和因特網(wǎng)的熱愛，所以enthusiasm意為“熱情，熱忱”。great love:很喜歡;great hatred:很厭惡;problem:問題;advantage:優(yōu)勢。四個選項中A項與其意思最接近。故選A。

　　3.What are the Americans concerned about according to the poll?

　　A.Age of the children using the Internet.

　　B.Government protection from the Internet problems.

　　C.Information overload.

　　D.The flow of phone calls, faxes and e-mails.

　　【參考答案】B[考點]事實細節(jié)題

? ? ? ?【精析】B 根據(jù)第二段第一句“The poll found that the public favors some government protection from cyber-problems…”可知，美國人希望政府能夠保護他們免受網(wǎng)絡(luò)問題的干擾，這是他們所關(guān)注的問題。故選B。

　　4. American adults tend to _____ than teenagers.

　　A.care more about information overload

　　B.like using computers more

　　C.dislike using computers more

　　D.face more dangers

　　【參考答案】C

? ? ? ? [考點]推理判斷題

　　【精析】C 根據(jù)第二段最后一句“A separate survey of children aged 10 to 17 shows that they have a more positive attitude to computers than adults do…”可知，美國的青少年對電腦的態(tài)度比成年人要積極。由此可推知，與青少年相比，美國成年人不大喜歡使用電腦。故選C。

　　5.We can learn from the passage that _____.

　　A.all the American children have used the latest technology in schoolsB.computers and the Internet are very popular with AmericansC.Americans tend to place more importance on the Internet usage than computersD.the public in America does not hate the Internet problems at all

　　【參考答案】B

　　[考點]推理判斷題

　　【精析】B 根據(jù)第一段和最后一段第一句可知，電腦和因特網(wǎng)改善了美國人的生活，人們熱愛電腦和因特網(wǎng)。由此可推知，電腦和因特網(wǎng)很受美國人的歡迎，所以B項正確。根據(jù)第二段最后一句“…most have made use of up-to-date technology in their schools.”可知，并非美國所有的孩子都在學(xué)校使用了最新的科技，所以A項不正確;根據(jù)最后一段最后一句“…computers are part of everyday life for most Americans, and the Internet is close behind.”可推知，對美國人來說，電腦的重要性是第一位，然后是因特網(wǎng)，所以C項不正確;根據(jù)第二段第一句“…but in general people are not especially concerned about issues such as information overload or the never-ending flow of phone calls, faxes and e-mails.”可知，公眾不是特別關(guān)心信息超載，源源不斷的電話、傳真、電子郵件等問題，但并未提及他們一點也不討厭網(wǎng)絡(luò)問題，所以D項說法不正確。故選B。
