Way of Life for Students

The Internet is way of life for US college students, with research showing them to be one of the most connected groups.

A recent study by Harris Interactive and 360 Youth found that 93 percent of American college students visit the Internet, and this market is expected to grow from 15.2 million in 2003 to 16.4 million in 2007. That is slow but could be the result of the already high number of college Internet users.

About 88 percent of American college students own a computer, and more than half have broadband（宽带）connections. Furthermore, 67 percent own cell phones and 36 percent use their mobile devices to visit the Internet. Study findings are that 42 percent go online mainly to communicate socially, and 72 percent of college students check emails at least once a day, with 66 percent using at least two email addresses.

The most popular online social activity is forwarding messages to friends of family, with 37 percent of college students saying they do so. The study also looked beyond the Internet surfing（冲浪）habits and into the buying habits of this group, and found them responsible for more than US $ 210 billion in sales last year alone.

College students have learned how to spend their money, with 93 percent saying low prices were important when shopping.

The study also showed that 65 percent make loan（贷款）payments; 41 percent of freshmen have a credit card; and 79 percent of seniors have a credit card. A significant number of charges on these credit cards are likely to be for entertainment and leisure expenses.

46. College students in the US, as this passage shows,______.

A. waste much time visiting the Internet

B. lead an exciting life by using the Internet

C. don’t have to learn their lessons in their classrooms

D. spend too much time, in the opinion of the writer, visiting the Internet

【解析】主旨判断题。从文中对美国大学生活的描述来看，文中列举了很我数据并告诉我们，他们可以在网上进行不少活动，网络成了其生活中不可缺少的一部分。

【答案】B

A. most college students are from rich families

【答案】C

48. To communicate with friends, nearly half of the college students use________.

A. letters

B. telephones

C. text messages on mobile phones

D. emails

【解析】推理判断题。文中没有提到写信、打电话、发手机短信等交际方式，全文围绕电脑、网络、电子邮件进行描述。

C. reading newspapers          D. buying goods

【答案】A

B

Auctions（拍卖）are public sales of goods conducted by an officially approved auctioneer. He asks the crowd gathered in the auction-room to make offers or “bids”, for the various items on sale. He encourages buyers to bid higher figures, and finally names the highest bidder as the buyer of the goods.

Almost all goods of various qualities are sold by auction. Among these are coffee, skins, wool, tea, fruit, vegetables and wines. Auction sales are also useful for land and property, antique（古董）, furniture, pictures, rare books, old china（瓷器）, and works of art.

An auction is usually advertised beforehand with a full description of the articles to be sold and where and when they can be viewed by possible buyers. If the advertisement cannot give full details, catalogues（目录）are printed, and each group of goods to be sold together, called a “lot”, is usually given a number. The auctioneer need not begin with Lot 1, and continue with Lot 2, Lot 3 and so on; be may wait until he sees certain dealers in the room and then produces the lots they are likely to be interested in. The auctioneer therefore has a direct interest in pushing up the bidding as high as possible.

The auctioneer must know quite accurately the current market values of the goods he is selling, and he should be acquainted（熟悉）with regular buyers of such goods. He will not waste time by starting the bidding too low. He will also encourage the rivals among buyers to bid against each other in order to get a high price. It is largely in his advice that a seller will fix a “reserved” price, that is, a price below which the goods cannot be sold. Even the best auctioneer, however, finds it difficult to stop a “knock-out”（连裆拍货）, because dealers illegally arranged beforehand not to bid against each other, but choose one of them as the only bidder, in the hope of buying goods at very low prices. If such a “ knock-out” succeeds, the real auction sale takes place privately afterwards among the dealers.

50. At what prices are auctioned goods usually sold?

A. The reserved prices fixed by sellers.

B. The prices officially approved.

C. the highest prices offered by bidders.

D. The prices the dealers arranged beforehand.

【解析】归纳判断题。关于拍卖品，文中说卖六通常有底价（A），拍卖师是经官方批准的（B），有时竞争买者会事先串通（D），但通常出价最高者可以买到该拍卖品（第一段末）。

【答案】C

51. Which of the following statements about an auctioneer is NOT true according to the passage?

A. He encourages buyers to bid higher prices.

B. He gives advice to sellers.

C. He should know the current values of the goods on sale.

D. He is a government official.

【解析】归纳判断题。文中提到拍卖师是官文批准的。并没有说他是政府官员。至于其他选项，在文章第一段、第四段（It is in his advice that a seller will fix a “reserved” price.）（The auctioneer must know the current market values…）均提到。

【答案】D

52. “A reserved price” in the last paragraph means______.

A. a price which an article can be sold at

B. a price below which an article cannot be sold

C. a price fixed by the local government

D. a price acceptable to possible buyers

【解析】语文判断题。最后一段上下文对这个短语有清楚的定义，拍卖师告诫卖六定的价，低于这个价该商品不能卖，由此可知其含义是B项。

【答案】B

53. Even the best auctioneer finds it hard to stop a “knock-out” because______.

A. dealers sometimes arranged in advance not to bid against each other

B. he is not familiar with the regular buyers

C. he does not know the values of the goods

D. he has never heard of such a thing

【解析】细节判断题。从短文最后部分可知，这种“联裆拍货”很难阻止，因为买主事先串通不互相抬价。

【答案】A

C

David Beckham was born in 1975 in London, at a place called Leytonstone. When he was a young boy, his greatest passion was in football. He played it whenever he had the chance. Sometimes he would go and watch a game with his friends. When David Beckham was 12 years old, he won the Bobby Charlton Soccer Skills award（奖金）. This was an important step forward for this young boy, and it led him to go for a visit to a football training camp in Spain. As a boy he played for schools of Essex and also for his county team.

In 1991, he became a trainee with Manchester United. This meant that he could practice football as much as he wanted to and play for the highly successful Manchester United Youth Cup team and Under-21 team. In April, 1995 he played his first football league game against Leeds Untied. During 1995 and 1996, David became a regular member of the team and Manchester United won in both football seasons, with David scoring many goals.

His goals made him a household name. In the first game of the 1996～1997 season, he scored an surprising goal from beyond the halfway line; seeing the goalkeeper a little way out of his goal, Beckham became famous overnight. He continued to score astonishing goals, especially from free-kicks. The speed of one of his shots was timed at 157 kph. He also had the ability to make the ball go from left to right, or right to left, whenever he chose. Goalkeepers were never sure where the ball was going, and it regularly ended up in the goal.

54. Which word can take the place of the underlined word “passion” in Paragraph 1?

A. success           B. interest

C. prize             D. skill

【解析】从划线部分的上下文看，下文说，他只要有机会就会踢足球，与朋友去看比赛，由此可推断该词指他对足球的兴趣而不是成功、奖金及技术。

【答案】B

55. The unusually surprising way that he scored goals______.

A. helped him to gain many prizes for Essex

B. kept him playing for Leeds United

C. offered him the chance to join the national team

D. made him popular in many British homes

【解析】他小时候为Essex的学校踢球，1995年踢球的对手是Leeds，文章没提到国家队，最后一段说他在1996～1997赛季的那次进球使他一夜成名，并说他的进球使他的名字家喻户晓。

【答案】A

Without most people realizing it, there has been revolution in office work over the last ten years. Before that time, large computers were only used by large rich companies that could afford the investment. With the advancement of technology, small computers have come onto the market which are capable of doing the work which used to be done by much larger and expensive computers, so now most smaller companies can use them.

The main development in small computers has been in the field of word processors, or WPS as they are often called. 40% of British offices are now estimated to have a word processor and this percentage is growing fast.

There are many advantages in using a word processor for both secretary and manager. The secretary is freed from a lot of daily work, such as re-typing letters and storing papers. He or she can use this time to do other more interesting work for the boss. From a manager’s point of view, secretarial time is being made better use of and money can be saved by doing daily jobs automatically outside office hours.

But is it all good? If a lot of daily secretarial work can be done automatically, surely this will mean that fewer secretaries will be needed. Another worry is the increasing medical problems related to work with visual display units（显示器）. The case of a slow loss of sight among people suing word processors seems to have risen greatly. It is also feared that if a woman works at a VDU for long hours, the unborn child in her body might be killed. Safety screens to put over a VDU have been invented but few companies in England bother to buy them.

Whatever the arguments for and against word processors, they are a key feature of this revolution in office practice.

58. Ten years ago, large computers were only used by large companies because________.

A. small companies did not have enough money to buy such expensive computers

B. large computers could not do the work that small companies can do today

C. large computers did not come onto the market

D. small companies did not need to use this new technology

【解析】转换理解题。根据Before that time, large computers were only used by large rich companies that could afford the investment.我们可以反向推理，小公司不用大型电脑是因为他们出不起这笔投资。

【答案】A

59. According to the writer, the main progress made in office work over the last ten years is______.

A. the saving of time and money

B. the use of computers in big companies

C. the wide use of word processors

D. the decreasing number of secretaries.

【解析】细节题。答案可从The main development in small computers has been in the fiele of word processors找到。

【答案】C

60. Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A. There are both advantages and disadvantages in using a word processor.

B. The British companies care much for the health of the people using word processors.

C. The technology in the field of computers has been greatly advanced over the last ten years.

D. Using word processors, secretaries can get more time to do more interesting work for their bosses.

【解析】细节事实确认题。运用排除法可知选项B的说法短文中没有提及。
