　　Passage One Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
　　Even though the Internet has become a key tool for accessing services, getting an education, finding jobs, getting the news, keeping up with people you know and much more, one in five U.S. adults still does not use the Internet at all, according to a recent report. Why? Mostly they're just not interested in anything that happens online. "Among today's non-Internet users, almost half (48%) say the main reason they don't go online now is that they think the Internet has nothing to do with them—often saying they don't want to use the Internet and don,'t need to use it to get information or to communicate with others, "said the report. Other reasons were that they don't have a computer or that it's too expensive, too difficult, or a waste of time. Most Americans who don' t go online now have never gone online before- and no one else in their family uses the Internet. Just over 20% of non-users say they know enough about technology to start going online if they want to, and only 10% say they may use the Internet or e-mail in the future. Who are these non-Internet users? Mostly they're older—56% of U.S. seniors don't go online. Also, nearly 60% of U.S. adults who never completed high school don' t use the Internet. And they're mostly poor- nearly 40% of people with a family income under $30,000 per year don't go online. Also, people with disabilities are more likely not to use the Internet. One quarter of U.S. adults live with a disability that interferes with activities of daily life-and only 54% of these people are Internet users, said the report. But in terms of ethnicity(种族), the U. S. digital divide has narrowed. According to the report, between white people and minorities, the difference in getting access to the Internet is disappearing. In terms of adults who have high-speed broadband(宽带)at home, differences in access still exist, but they have become much less obvious over the years.

　　Passage Two Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
　　In Japan, developers are suffering from an economic decline. As banks are unwilling to lend, design firms are hoping to get through the decline. Since it depends heavily on foreign investment, speculative(投机性的)housing has been particularly affected. As a result, developers are breaking down and projects are dying. Other areas have slowed but not completely stopped. Sometimes a break is good, since it gives design firms a chance to take another look at their designs and make them better. After a six-month pause, some firms are moving forward on new projects. Large developers who rely less on foreign money and have a wide range of projects are doing better than those who focus just on housing. However, location is the most important factor. Large developments in the central areas of Tokyo, capital of Japan, are continuing at a steady speed. But outside that highly desirable location, things are getting worse as land becomes cheaper. According to a recent report, 52 office buildings in the middle of Tokyo will finish this year, an improvement over the 44 that were completed the year before but much less than the 92 planned for the next year. In smaller cities, bank loans and new projects have almost stopped. Developers in the city of Nagoya, Toyota's hometown, are facing a double trouble. They have to cut budget for existing projects because tax revenues from car sales—the city's main source of income—have been greatly reduced. These days, few designers are relying on public projects-a sharp contrast to the 1990s, when public projects sustained many firms after Japan's economy broke down. Another difference between the two depressions is the current drop in international business. Instead of looking to the foreign market, Japanese designers are searching for jobs at home. By moving into new business areas such as internal design and urban design, many firms have been able to maintain a strong position. To some degree, the current depression is a chance for design firms to expand their abilities and their customer base.

Aget money from banks

Bavoid speculative housing

Cmove into new fields

Denter foreign markets

Brely on foreign money

9. The city of Nagoya relies heavily on（）.

Apublic projects

Bexisting projects

Cforeign investment

DToyota tax revenues

10. To keep a strong position, design firms in Japan are trying to（）.

Ado business overseas

Bexpand business areas

Ccreate job opportunities

Dsatisfy home customers

　　Passage Three Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.
　　When it comes to using technology in education, people tend to think that more is better. Over the past ten years, universities around the world have invested heavily in the wired classroom, adding everything from external computer connections to DVD players. But there is little evidence that these devices improve learning—and, critics argue, they might hinder it, making both students and teachers passive. What if classrooms were restored to the pre-Internet days of tables and chalk? The Idea: Take technology out of the classroom. Jose Bowen, dean of the School of Arts at a university, has done just that. He wants his staff to"teach naked," meaning without the aid of any machines. "Just because you have a PowerPoint presentation doesn't mean you have a good lecture, "he argues. Classroom time should be reserved for the discussion with the professor and aimed at teaching students to think critically and raise new questions. Besides, in the bad economic climate at most universities, avoiding new technology is a sound way to save money. The Evidence: Bowen, who teaches music, delivers content via podcasts(播客), which students must listen to on their own. He then tests them on the material before every class to make sure they've done the work, and uses class time for discussions and research related to the recorded lessons. He has been teaching the same material for 25 years, but since he took up the new approach, his students have been more engaged and scored better on exams. College students asked by researchers to list what motivates them have often stressed class organization and teacher enthusiasm, and above all, active student participation as major elements of a good lecture. In a recent survey, 59 percent of students said half their lectures were boring—particularly those involving PowerPoint application. The Conclusion: Technology has a place in education, but it should be used independently by students outside the classroom. That gives them more time to absorb lectures via video, and frees teachers to spend class time coaching students in how to apply the material rather than simply absorb it.

11. The critics think that technology may（）.

Ahinder learning

Breplace old forms of learning

Cadd fun to learning

Dplay an active role in learning

12. Jose Bowen believes that classroom teaching should focus on（）.

Athe effective use of PowerPoint

Bthe effective use of the Internet

Cthe leading role of the professor

Dthe student-teacher interaction

13. Bowen"s new approach enables his students to have（）.

Amore spare time

Bmore discussions

Cfewer assignments

Dfewer examinations

14. The passage indicates that students are motivated most by（）.

Aclass organization

Bteacher enthusiasm

Cactive participation

Dadvanced technology

15. The passage concludes that technology should be used by students for（）.

Ain-class research

Boff-class learning

Cselecting materials

Dselecting courses

5. 我们的自然资源是有限的。

1. Pets are lovable and delightful. The most favored pets are dogs and cats. They are beautiful and clever animals. To care for them can help bring out the humanity in our children and even in us. A dog or a cat can teach us a lot about human nature; they are a lot more like us than some people might think. Many dog owners have said that the animal understands everything they say. So parents who have ever cared for pets are likely to be more patient and understanding with their children, and especially to avoid making rude remarks in the presence of a child.
