Technolog y is costly and it is generally impossible to introduce advances to e veryone at the same time. So who gets this access first? As we trav el further and further along the electronic frontier through advances such as telecommuting (在家办公) and the Intemet, the poor may b e isolated from mainstream society in an "information ghetto (贫民窟) ".Drawing on a survey, the Census Bureau (国家调查局) estimated that only 6.8 percent of households earning less than $ 10,000 had home computers, compared to 61.7 percent of those with incomes of $ 75,000 or more. This issue goes beyond individual interest or lack of interest in computers.The technological advances of the present and future may not be equally beneficial to men and women. Many studies have shown that computer games, which serve as an important means of early socialization to computers, typically involve sports or skills associat ed with the traditional male role.

Transactions may take pl ace through barter or money exchange. In a barter economy,real go ods such as automobiles, shoes, and pizzas are traded against each other. Obviously, finding somebody who wants to trade an old car in exchange for a sailboat may not always be an easy task. Hence the introduction of money as a medium of exchange eases transacti ons considerably.?An alternative to the market system is administered control by some agency over all transactions. This agency will issue laws or co mmands as to how much each goods and service should be produc ed, exchanged, and consumed by each economic unit.

The central plan drawn up by the government shows the amount of each com modity produced by the various firms and distributed to different h ouseholds for consumption.?In a traditional society, production and consumption patterns ar e governed by tradition.

He rented a cottage in the country, although he rarely spent much time there. The cottage, however, had no comfortable furniture in it, many of the windows were broken and the roof leaked, making the whole house damp.On our first evening, we sat around the fire after supper listening to the stories our uncle had had to tell of his many adventures in distant countries. I was so tired after the long train journey that I would have preferred to go to bed, but I could not bear to miss any of my uncle’s exciting tales.He was just in the middle of describing a rather terrifying experience he had, when there was a loud crash from the bedroom above, the one where my brother and I were going to sleep.“It sounds as if the roof has fallen in!” shouted my uncle, with a loud laugh.When we got to the top of the stairs and opened the bedroom door, a strange sight met oureyes. A large part of the ceiling had collapsed （）, falling right on to the pillow of my bed. I was glad that I had stayed up late to listen to my uncle’s stories, otherwise I should certainly have been seriously injured, perhaps killed.That nigh we all slept on the floor of the sitting room downstairs not wishing to risk our lives by sleeping under a roof which might at any moment collapse on our heads. We left for London the very next morning and my uncle gave up his cottage in the country. This was not the kind of adventure he cared for, either!31.

Nearly everyone is exposed to risks of some sort. The house owner, for example, knows that his property can be damaged by fire; the ship owner knows that his vessel may be lost at sea; the father knows that he may die at an early age and leave his family the poorer. On the other hand, not every house is damaged by fire, nor every vessel lost at sea. If these persons each put a small sum into a pool, there will be enough to meet the needs of the few who do suffer loss. In other words, the losses of the few are met from the contributions of the many. This is the basis of insurance. Those who pay the contributions are known as “insured” and those who control the pool of contributions as “insurer”.Not all risks lend themselves to being covered by insurance. Broadly speaking, the ordinary risks of business cannot be covered. The risk that buyers will not buy goods at the prices offered is not a kind that can be estimated in numbers and risks can only be insured against if they can be estimated.The legal basis of all insurance is the “policy”. This is a printed form of contract on thick paper of the best quality. It states that in return for regular payment by the insured of a named sum of money, called the “premium”, which is usually paid every year, the insurer will pay a sum of money for loss, if the risk or event insured against actually happens.36. Why does the writer mention the father in the passage?A、The writer uses the father as an example to illustrate his point.B、The writer believes the father knows better than the mother.C、The writer wants to persuade the father to buy insurance.D、The writer wishes to set an example for fathers.37. Which of the following can be covered by insurance?A、All risks of business.B、All houses damaged by fire.C、Goods with clearly marked prices.D、Things whose values can be estimated.38. What do insurers firmly believe?A、People don’t like to spend their money.B、No one can avoid any risks.C、Almost all people trust insurance.D、Most people like to help others.39. What does “premium” （Para.3）most probably mean in the passage?A、The money paid by the insured.B、A printed form of contract.C、The money paid for the loss.D、The contributions of insurers.40. What is the main idea of the passage?A、Insurance is a way of sharing risks among people.B、Insurance has a solid legal basis.C、Only a few people suffer loss in their daily life.D、Insurance is not worth buying.Passage ThreeQuestions 41 to 46 are based on the following passage:Kate, a student in 8th grade, asked lots of questions in math class—until the teacher told her to stop. “He said I was confusing the other kids with my questions,” she recalls. “When boys asked questions, he took them a lot more seriously.”You might have thought that such obvious forms of discrimination （歧视）had ended by now. But Esther Green glass, a psychology professor at York University in Toronto, says many recent studies have found that girls may still be faced with mixed messages about self-confidence and success, which can lower their self-esteem and discourage them from achieving their potential.The problem worsens at about age 11 or 12, when girls start hitting puberty （青春期）and discovering boys. Many girls’ grades drop, and so does their self-esteem. “Girls get the message that, if you’re going to be popular, you can’t be too smart because the boys won’t like you,” says Green glass, who has written extensively on sex roles and discrimination.Often, girls also sense that boys are considered more capable. In studies in the United States, researchers found that when teachers asked questions, they almost always made eye con?tact with boys, unless they had attended courses raising their level of awareness. Adding to the problem, according to Green glass, is the lack of female role models in old textbooks still found in many Canadian schools.How are girls’ attitudes affected? Studies have shown that boys usually attribute their success to their superior ability, while girls attribute their own success to luck. When boys fail at a task, they tend to blame it on external factors; when girls fail, they blame their own lack of ability. Boys are more likely to try a second time to succeed.41. The first paragraph intends to tell us that _______.A、girls usually ask more questions than boys in classB、girls often confuse teachers with many questionsC、teachers tend to give much more attention to boysD、teachers believe that boys ask more serious questions42. Findings by Professor Esther Greenglass indicate that _______.A、sex discrimination in schools has disappeared in CanadaB、Canadian school girls are more self-confident than boysC、school girls in Canada are confused about their rolesD、in Canada girls and boys achieve equal success at school43. Researchers in the United States found that when teachers asked questions, _______.A、they would first turned to boys for answersB、they wanted to raise the awareness of boysC、boys responded to them ImmediatelyD、girls avoided eye contact with teachers44. We can learn from the passage that girls' lack of self-confidence has led to _______.A、their misjudgment of their own success and failureB、boys’ misunderstanding of their superiorityC、their inability to achieve academic successD、boys’ blaming external factors for their failu res45. What is the best title of the passage?A、Male and Female Role Models.B、Puberty and Sex Difference.C、Girls, Boys, and Success.D、Sex Roles and Discrimination.Part III Fill in the blanks （选择填空）（（每小题1分，共10分））46.
