Reading Comprehension (50分)Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D .You should decide on the best choice and write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:Passage OneLearning how to write is like taking a course in public speaking. I’d ask whether anyone in class had ever taken such a course. Invariably a few hands would go up.“What did you learn in that course?” I’d ask.“Well, the main thing was learning how to face an audienc e… not to be inhibited (拘谨；抑制) …not to be nervous…”Exactly, when you take a course in public speaking nowadays, you don’t hear much about gr-ammar and vocabulary. Instead, you’re taught how not to be afraid or embarrassed, how to speak without a prepared script, how to reach out to the live audience before you. Public speaking is a matter of overcoming your longstanding nervous inhibitions.It is the same in writing. (81) The point of the whole thing is to overcome your nervous inhibi-tions, to break through the invisible barrier that separates you from the person who’ll read what y-ou wrote. You must learn to sit in front of your typewriter or dictating machine and reach out to the person at the other end of the line.Of course, in public speaking, with the audience right in front of you, the problem is easier. You can look at them and talk to them directly. In writing, you’re alone. It needs an effort of your experience or imagination to take hold of that other person and talk to him or her. But that effort is necessary or at least it’s necessary until you’ve reached the point when you quite naturally and unconsciously “talk on paper.”41. The main task of a public speech course is to ________.A.teach spoken-language experienceB.teach how to use gestures to assist speechC.help the learners overcome nervousnessD.teach how to control the volume of the speaker’s voice42. Learning how to write is similar to learning how to speak in public in that a writer should ___________.A.overcome his or her nervousness in the first placeB.watch his or her grammar and vocabularyC.collect a lot of data before writingD.take hold of a reader and talk to him or her before writing43. In the author’s opinion_________.A.writing needs more experience and skill than public speakingB.both writing and public speaking require effortC.writing is imaginativeD.public speaking is not so natural as writing44. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.Not many students feel the need to learn public speakingB.Training is necessary before you can speak with scriptC.In public speaking, the audience are more nervous than the speakerD.Writing is just like making a public speech on paper45. This selection is mainly about learning how to _______.A.make a public speechB.talk on paperC.behave properly in public speechD.express strong emotion on paperQuestions 46 to 50 based on the following passage:Passage TwoIn the modern technological world the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive.(82)Resources on land are beginning to grow less. The sea, however, still offers hope to supply many of man’s needs.The riches of the sea yet to be developed by man’s technology are impressive. Oil and gas explorations have existed for nearly thirty years. Valuable amounts of minerals such as iron, nickel and copper and so on exist on the ocean floor, ready to be mined.Fish farming promises to be a good way to produce large quantities of food. The culture of fish and shellfish is an ancient skill practiced in the past mainly by Oriental peoples.Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. Experts believe that the warm temperature of the ocean can be used in a way similar to the steam in a steamship. Ocean currents and waves offer possible use as a source of energy such as hydroelectric power.Technology is enabling man to explore ever deeper under the sea. The new undersea technology is providing divers with diving suits and undersea chambers that are kept at sea level pressure. The development of strong, new materials has made this possible.The technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. By the year 2000, experts believe that the problems to exploit the food, minerals, and energy sources of the sea will be largely solved.46. What is the best title for the passage?A. Needs of .ManB. Sources of..EnergyC. Sea HarvestD. Sea Exploring Technology47. According to the author, technology for exploring the sea is important because______.A.man cannot travel farther into spaceB.resources on land are running shortC.it’s a lot of fun diving into the seaD.ancient people used to explore the sea48. Why does the author mention a steamship?A.To indicate that it is warmer in the ocean than on land.B.To show that a steamship is better than other kinds of ship.C.To argue that man should use steamships more than other means of transportation.D.To illustrate that man can make use of sources of energy from the sea.49. It can be inferred from the passage that_______.A.man hasn’t completely developed the riches of the seaB.technology for exploring the sea has been solvedC.planting rice in the sea will be made possible in a short timeD.in the near future man can live on the ocean floor50. The word “exploit” in the last paragraph could best be replaced by________.A. evaluateB. developC. gatherD. scatterQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage:Passage ThreeYour passport is your official identification as an American citizen. In American, most people never consider obtaining a passport unless they are planning a trip out of the country. In Europe, where travel from one country to another is much more common, almost everyone carries a pass- port. A passport is final proof of identity in almost every county in the world.In 1979 almost 15 million American held passports. Most of these passports were obtained to travel outside the country because, except for a few Western nations, passports are required to enter every country. And if you travel abroad, you must have a valid passport to return the country.When traveling abroad, you will need a passport for identification when exchanging dollars for francs or marks or other foreign currency. You may also need your passport to use a credit card, buy an airplane ticket or check into a hotel. As a passport is an official U.S. document, it is valuable as identification in any emergency overseas, such as floods, fires or war.Don’t confuse passports and visas. (83)Whereas a passport is issued by a country to its citizens, a visa is official permission to visit a country granted by the government of that country. For some years, many countries were dropping their visa requirements, but that trend has reversed. They may be obtained from the embassy of the country you wish to visit.Passport applications are available at passport agency offices in large cities like Boston, New York, or Chicago. In smaller cities, applications are available at post offices and at federal courts. To get your first passport, you must submit the application in person, along with a birth certificate and two pictures.51. The main purpose of this passage is to___________.A.discuss traveling in other countries　B.distinguish between passports and visasC.discuss the financial uses of a passport　D.provide information about passports52. Passports are beneficial for___________.A. exchanging currencyB. using a credit cardC. checking into hotelsD. all of the above53. We can conclude from the passage that_________.A.passports are more important than visasB.visas and passports are the same thingC.foreign government issue visas instead of passportsD.visas are required to obtain passports54. The passage suggests that_________.A.Most people don’t realize how important passports areB.passports aren’t important once you are in the country you’ve chosen to visit　C.passports are simple to obtain through the mailD.passports are obtained at the embassy once you enter a country.55. As used in this passage, the word “valid” in the second paragraph means__________.A. foreignB. legalC. monetaryD. illegalQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage:Passage FourI hear many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling. I wish it were so. At young age you ought to be growing away from you parents. You should be learning to stand on your own two feet.But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are a1l taking the same way of snowing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out on their own，most of them are clutching at one another’s hands for reassurance.They say they want to dress as they please，but all of them wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music，but all of them end up huddled round listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in this and that way is that the crowd is doing it.(84)It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and go his or her own way. These days every teenager can 1earn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. And many of today’s parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children. (85)All this adds up to a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don’t care to share at once with your classmates. Well，go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come-will the people who respect you for who you are. That’s the only kind of popularity that really counts.56. The author’s purpose in writing this passage is to tell _____.A.readers how to be popular with people aroundB.teenagers how to learn to decide things for themselvesC.parents how to control and guide their childrenD.people how to understand and respect each other57. According to the author, many teenagers think they are brave enough to act on their own, but, in fact, most of them _____.A.have much difficulty understanding each otherck confidenceC.dare not cope with problems single-handedD.are very much afraid of getting lost58. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage？A.There is no popularity that really counts.B. What many parents are doing is in fact hindering their children from finding their ownpaths.C.It is not necessarily bad for a teenager to disagree with his or her classmates.D.Most teenagers claim that they want to do what they like to, but they are actually doingthe same.59. The author thinks of advertisements as _____.A. convincingB. influentialC. instructiveD. authoritative60. During the teenage years, one should learn to _____.A.differ from others in as many ways as possibleB.get into the right season and become popularC.find one’s real selfD.rebel against parents and the popularity wave得分评卷人III.

People use them on trains and airplanes, in airports and hotels. These computers connect people to their workplace. In the United States today, they also connect students to their classmates.Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork anywhere they want. Within five years, each of the 1500 students at the college will get a laptop. Westlake College has started a large computer program for its students. With laptop computers, the students will be connected not only to the Internet but also to libraries. In addition, they can use e¨Cmail to ¡°speak¡± with their teachers, their classmates, and their families. However, the most important part of the laptop computer program is that students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs. They can work with it at home, in a fast¨Cfood restaurant or under the trees--anywhere at all.At Westlake College, more than 90 percent of the students use computers, either desktop £¨Ì¨Ê½£©or laptop, but the laptop users can work and study in any of the places. Just as one of the Westlake teachers said, ¡°Here we are in the middle of the city and we¡¯re giving students a window on the world.¡±26.

We can learn from the passage that __________.A) laptop computers are difficult to useB) laptop computers are more powerful than desktopC) Westlake College is a very rich universityD) Westlake College¡¯s students will mainly use laptopsPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage. Unemployment may be one of the biggest problems our people as well as our government are faced with today. According to an official report, in one big city alone, since 1986, nearly 1,000,000 adult workers have lost their jobs because of factory closings and cutbacks---either temporarily(ÔÝʱ) laid off or permanently forced to retire.Many people, especially the policy makers, believe that forcing adult workers, those who are over 45, to retire is an effective means to relieve the tension of unemployment, for it can provide more job opportunities for the jobless young. But they fail to notice that forcing a person who is still able to work and has a family to support to retire brings serious financial problems as well as emotional and physical ones. They also fail to realize that actually, workers aged 45-60 tend to be more stable, more skillful and more experienced than workers of any other ages, that to some extent this age is the prime time for one¡¯s productivity and creativity. To force them to retire is a huge waste of the nation¡¯s best resources. On the contrary, if we turn our attention to the other end of the age line, a more effective way might emerge. Today, only 3% of school-leavers are allowed to go to college, leaving the majority of the young people under 18 without adequate preparation to join the labor force. If, however, more of them are able to attend college and begin full-time employment at a later age, more job opportunities will be created.Most importantly, we should not be satisfied merely to solve the problem of unemployment, but rather, we should improve the quality of the work force at the same time-by keeping the skilled adults and accepting the well-educated young.31.

Is it anything we say which we know is untrue? Or is it something more than that? For example, suppose a friend wants to borrow some money from you, you say: ¡°I wish I could help you but I¡¯m short of money myself.¡± In fact, you are not short of money but your friend is in the habit of not paying his debts and you don¡¯t want to hurt his feelings by reminding him of this. Is this really a lie?A scientific study of lying shows women are better liars (˵»ÑÕß) than men, particularly when telling a ¡°white lie¡±, such as when a woman at a party tells another woman that she likes her dress when she really thinks it looks terrible. However, this is only one side of the story. Other researches show that men are more likely to tell more serious lies, such as making a promise which they have no intention of fulfilling. This is the kind of lie politicians and businessmen are supposed to be particularly skilled at: the lie from which the man hopes to profit or gain in some way.Research has also been done into the way people¡¯s behavior changes in a number of small, unimportant ways when they lie. It has been found that if they are sitting down at the same time, they tend to move about in their chairs more than usual. To the trained observer they are saying ¡°I wish I were somewhere else now.¡±36. This passage tells us that telling lies is ___________.A) often necessary in order to avoid defeated in an argumentB) sometimes necessary if you don¡¯t want to hurt someone elseC) quite bad because people ought to be honestD) usually bad if you are talking with a good friend37. The writer says that women are better liars than men because __________.A) their lies are easier to be accepted by menB) men are not as skillful as women in telling liesC) they often have a good intention in telling liesD) women tell fewer lies than men do38. A ¡°white lie¡± means a lie that ___________.A) is told with a good intentionB) is quite unbelievableC) is almost true to the factD) often has a bad purpose39. Politicians and businessmen are supposed to be skilled at telling such lies as____.A) may keep better relations with othersB) seem to be strange but interestingC) can make others believe it to be trueD) will allow them to gain some benefits40. It can be concluded from the passage that _________.A) there is a simple way of finding out if someone is lyingB) people¡¯s behaviors sometimes can tell us they are lyingC) people often repeat what they are saying when telling a lieD) in some situations women are most likely to tell a liePart ¢ó Vocabulary and Structure (20 minutes)Directions: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

Since the beginning of time, men have looked for this extremely valuable item, gold.Gold is soft and easy to form into different objects. If it gets wet, it does not rust like iron or other metals. Acids do not change it. One important reason that gold is so valuable is that it is scarce.Due to its softness, gold must be combined with other metals to harden it and give it strength. By hardening gold, people can then make coins and jewelry with it. Metals commonly mixed with gold are nickel, platinum, and copper. Gold jewelry bears a number and the letter K. The K means karat(carat), which is a measure of the amount of pure gold in the jewelry. Pure gold is 24K. Therefore, a necklace which is 14K is fourteen parts gold and ten parts other metal.Many countries utilize gold for certain coins, but this practice is not as common now as it once was. The United States, for instance, stopped making gold coins in 1933.56 Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?（A）A Valuable（B）Looking for Gold（C）Jewelry and Coins（D）What is Karat?57 Which is NOT the reason why gold is highly valuable?（A）It can be made into jewelry.（B）It is not easily found.（C）It is soft and shiny.（D）It does not rust when wet.58 In order to make it stronger, gold is often mixed with______.（A）hard gold（B）coin and jewelry（C）acids（D）other metals59 If a ring is marked 12K, then the percentage of gold in it is______.（A）12（B）50（C）25（D）2460 Gold may be correctly described by the following EXCEPR______.（A）soft（B）strong（C）acid - resistant（D）bright60 A sustainable transportation system is one that is safe, capable and friendly to the environment. Sustainable transportation is about combining economic, social and environmental factors into decisions that affect transportation activity. In economic aspect, we need a transportation system that is efficient. In social aspect, our transportation system must be safe and easy to be reached. In addition, we need a transportation system that respects the natural environment. It is not always easy to balance these three factors but there are also win - win - win opportunities.Sustainable transportation is important. Although transportation brings many economic and social benefits, the movement of people and goods can have important influences on the environment. These influences can in turn have social and economic consequences. Sustainable transportation calls for ensuring that the environment is considered along with economic and social considerations in transportation decision - making.Environmental influences of transportation include air and water pollution, greenhouse effects, and the use of land and other natural resources. A range of transportation activities contribute to these pressures, including the construction of roads: the production, operation, and throwing away of vehicles: and the supply of energy and fuel.A. major challenge of sustainable transportation is to control or prevent air pollution and greenhouse effects.61 What is the main idea of the passage?（A）It is about sustainable transportation.（B）It is about greenhouse effects.（C）It is about environment protection（D）It is about air pollution62 A sustainable transportation system can be understood as one that______.（A）brings social benefits（B）brings economic benefits.（C）is friendly to the environment.（D）brings a win - win - win result.63 How should we understand the social benefits of a sustainable transportation system? （A）It should be efficient.（B）It should be safe.（C）It should be friendly.（D）It should be constructive.64 What effects may transportation have on the environment?（A）Air and water pollution.（B）Greenhouse effects.（C）The use of land and other natural resources.（D）All of the above.65 The author's attitude towards the sustainable transportation is______.（A）positive（B）critical（C）negative（D）doubtful65 According to psychologists(心理学家), an emotion is aroused when a man or animal views something as either bad or good. When a person feels like running away from something he thinks will hurt him, we call this emotion fear. If the person wants to remove the danger by attacking it, we call the emotion anger. The emotions of joy and love are aroused when we think something can help us. An emotion does not have to be created by something in the outside would. It can be created by a person's thoughts.Everyone has emotions. Many psychologists believe that infants are born without emotions. They believe children learn emotions just as they learn to read and write. A growing child not only learns his emotions but learns how to act in certain situations because of an emotion.Psychologists think that there are two types of emotions: positive and negative. Positive emotions include love, liking, joy, delight and hope. They are aroused by something that appeals to a person. Negative emotions make a person unhappy or dissatisfied. They include anger, fear, despair, sadness and disgust. In growing up, a person learns to cope with the negative emotions in order to be happy.Emotions may be weak or strong. Some strong emotions are so unpleasant that a person will try and means to escape from them. In order to feel happy, the person may choose unusual ways to avoid the emotion. Strong emotions can make it hard to think and to solve problems. They may present a person from learning or paying attention to what he is doing. For example, a student taking an examination may be so worried about failing that he cannot think properly. The worry drains valuable mental energy he needs for the examination.66 We learn from the passage that an emotion is created by something______.（A）one thinks bad or good（B）one feels in danger（C）one faces in the outside world（D）one tries to escape from real life67 Which of the following is NOT true? .（A）Children learn emotions as they grow up.（B）Babies are born with emotions.（C）Emotions fall into two types in general（D）People can cope with the negative emotions in life.68 The author's purpose of writing this passage is to______.（A）explain why people have emotions（B）show how people avoid the negative emotions（C）explain what people should do before emotions（D）define and classify people's emotions69 We can safely conclude that a student may fail in an exam if______.（A）he can not think properly（B）he can't pay attention to it（C）he is not worried（D）he is not full of energy70 As used in the last sentence, the word "drains" probably means______.（A）helps（B）ties（C）weakens（D）strengthens70 A gloomy afternoon saw me taking my routine path through that construction site. For the walker's convenience, a set of stone steps had been built, which were fairly steep.That was the place I found myself behind a husband and wife climbing up the steps with each other's support.The couple seemed to be farmers in their forties. The wife in a red coat was walking with a stick, an empty trouser leg swaying below. With one hand on his shoulder, she leaned almost entirely on her husband, who carefully kept balance with her and carriedher other stick. They limped(跛行)their way upward with great difficulty. My curiosityurged me to overtake them and look back over my shoulder secretly. The glance sent a shiver through me, which produced a sensation I had never experienced before. The husband himself was also disabled - blind in both eyes! What struck me even more was the smile they both wore on their faces, such a happy smile as could only be seen from birds and bridegrooms. With few words between them, they smilingly helped each other struggle upwards.Then I noticed there were patches on their clothes, and their cloth shoes werehomemade, worn -out but tidy. How could such sweet smiles reconcile(使和谐)with thepatched clothing or the physical handicap? I got quite puzzled. When they advanced far ahead I still couldn't tear my eyes a-way from them, I was moved and my heart filled with admiration.At that moment I suddenly realized how superficial my idea of happiness had been！To me it had always been associated with wealth, fame and power, the poor and the lowly having no share of it. However, happiness can be found in very ordinary life. I witnessed it on the weather - beaten faces of the husband and wife who had shared happiness and misfortune together. There is always happiness when there is an unfailing mutual support between two persons in love.71 How did the husband and wife climb up the steps?（A）They didn't help each other.（B）They climbed up the steps with ease.（C）They limped their way upward with each other's support.（D）They climbed up the steps depending on a stick.72 What is the problem of the wife?（A）One leg is missing.（B）One eye is blind.（C）She is a dumb person.（D）She is a deaf.73 What is the author's feeling when he saw the husband and wife?（A）He was sad and his heart filled with sorry.（B）He was moved and his heart filled with admiration.（C）He was satisfied with their smiles.（D）His heart was full of contempt.74 Which of the following statement is TRUE?（A）It was on a set of stone steps that 1 found myself behind a husband and wife. （B）The husband and wife kept talking about something.（C）They both wore smiles on their faces because they were bride and bridegroom. （D）Their cloth shoes were homemade and very dirty.75 What is the theme of the passage?（A）Happiness is always associated with wealth and fame.（B）Happiness is associated with health and beauty.（C）Happiness is associated with handicap and disability.（D）Happiness is associated with mutual love.六、Cloze75 Miss Evans【C1】______physics in a London school.

专转本大学英语第I卷（共100分）Part I Reading Comprehension （共40分）（18分）Passage one(12分钟）Under proper conditions, sound waves will be reflected from a hillside or other such obstruction. Sound travels at the rate of about one-fifth of mile per second. If the hill is eleven hundred feet away, it takes two seconds for the sound to travel o the hill and back. Thus, by timing the interval between a sound and its reflection (the echo), you can estimate the distance to an obstruction.During word war 2 the British used a practical application of this principle to detect German planes on their way to bomb London long before the enemy was near the target. They used radio waves instead of sound waves, since radio waves can penetrate fog and clouds. The outnumbered Royal Air Force (RAF) always seemed to the puzzled Germans to be lying in wait at the right time and never to be surprised. It was radio echoes more than anything else that won the Battle of Britain.Since the radio waves were used to tell the direction in which to send the RAF planes and the distance to send them (their range of flight, in other words), the device was called radio directing and ranging, and from the initials the word radar was coined.1. Sound waves reflected from a hill can be used to estimate the .A. heigt of the hillB. speed of soundC. distance to the hillD. intensite of sound2. Practical applications of this principles resulted in .A. New electronic instruments for planesB. A radio directing and ranging deviceC. New radio sets for RAF bombersD. An electronic detecting device3. Radar enabled the English to .A. Detect German planes on their way to LondonB. Direct the outnumbered RAF planes effectivelyC. Confuse German bomber pilotsD. Both A and B4.It can be inferred from the passage that1A. Light waves could be used in a device similar to radarB. Radar was a practical application of a well-known principleC. Radar greatly increased the effectiveness of the Royal Air ForceD. Sound waves are reflected from a hillside under all conditions5. The author of this passage probably intended to explainA. Exactly how radar worksB. Why the British used radio waves in their deviceC. How radar (work and device) came to beD. How radar helped the British win the Battle of BritainPassage Two accident（意外，事件）In general, the ancientRomans were a practical people. They cared less about philosophy and pure mathematics than did the Greeks. The Romans were the best of the ancient engineers and architects. They were brilliant students of Greek geometry and trigonometry (三角学) , and they applied their knowledge to the construction of fine bridges, roads, aqueducts (渠道) , and public buildings.They knew about the smelting of ironore, but they used the iron they produced mainly for spears, swords, and shields, rather than for building construction.While the Romans accomplished practical wonders, they did very little theoretical scientific thinking. Because of their frequent wars, many of their inventions were no more than improvements in the design of Greek weapons with which they were familiar.There are two reasons for the Romans neglect of philosophy and pure mathematics. First, they were apparently too busy conquering nearby nations and forming them into a rapidly growing empire to waste time on abstract thinking. Secondly, they were handicapped (妨碍) by the rigidity of their numerical system. (Try to multiply XI by LVII or to divide CXLIII by IX; it simply cannot be done with pencil and paper.) The Romans did all of their arithmetic on an abacus, the ancient counterpart of the modern computing machine. Their number system discouraged the study of pure mathematics.6. The author calls the Romans “practical” because theyA. Cared little about philosophyB. Applied their knowledge to constructionC. Saw the necessity for developing theoretical scienceD. Studied the past and learned from it7.The ancient Romans did not concern themselves with2A. Theoretical or abstract thoughtB. applied mathematicsC. StudyingD. either A or C8.In construction, the Romans made extensive use ofA. Iron oreB. geometry and trigonometryC. StudyingD. both B and C9.Many Romans inventions were based on Greek weapons because theA. Greeks had superior weaponsB romines were involved in frequent warsC. Romans were not familiar with many types of weaponsD. Greek proved himself or herself inspired inventor10.The author of this passage probably wanted to explain why AA. He considers the Romans a practical peopleB. Roman were involved in frequent warsC. Theoretical thinking is necessary fir the growth of a nationD. The Romans contributed little to philosophical thought11. the pew study was conducted in C (A)Passage ThreeProfessor Barry Wellman if University of Toronto in Canada has invented a term to describe the way many North Americans interacts these days. The term to have opposite meanings. How can we be individuals and be networked at the same time? You need other people for networks.Here is what Professor Wellman means. Before the invention of the Internet and e-mail, our social networks involved live interactions with relatives, neighbors, and colleagues at work. Some of the interaction was by phone, but it was still voice, person to person, in real time.A recent research study by the Pew Internet and Americans Life Project showed that for a lot of people, electronic interaction through the computer has replaced this person-to-person interaction. However, a lot of people interviewed for the Pew study say that’s a good thing. Why?In the past, many people were worried that the Internet isolated us and caused us to spend too much time in the imaginary world of the computer. But the Pew study discovered that the opposite is true. The Internet connects us with MORE real people than expected-helpful-people who can give advice on careers, medical problems, raising children, and choosing a school or college. About 60 million Americantold Pew that the Internet plays an important role in helping them major life decisions.3Thanks to the computer. “networked individuals” are able to be alone and together with other people-at the same time!A. the United StatesB.

For many Americans, the Internet plays an important role in helping them make important decisions.D. “Internet addiction” is a growing problem among people who use computers.Passage fourSummers with father were always enjoyable. Swimming, hiking, boating, fishing-the days were not long enough to contain all of activities. There never seemed to be enough time to go to church, which disturbed some friends and relations. Accused of neglecting this part of our education, my father instituted a summer school for my brother and me. However, his summer course included ancient history, which Papa felt our schools neglected, and navigation, in which we first had a formal examination in the dining room, part of which consisted of tying several knots in a given time limit. Then we were each separately sent on what was grandly referred to as a cruise in my father’s 18-foot knockabout, spending the night on board, and loaded down, according to formally plot our course, using the tide table, even though our goal was an island I could see quite clearly across the water in the distance.416.
