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（寬帶）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 orお family, with 37 percent of college students saying they do so. The study also looked beyond the Internet surfing（沖浪）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（貸款）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.

1. 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

2. We can find, from the third paragraph, that in the US_______.

A. most college students are from rich families

B. cell phone will take the place of computers in colleges

C. mobile phones make Internet life easy for college students

D. college students can have a computer from their colleges

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

A. letters

B. telephones

C. text messages on mobile phones

D. emails

4. By using the Internet, college students in the US can do the following EXCEPT_______.

A. going swimming　　　　    B. chatting with friends

C. reading newspapers　　　　  D. buying goods

 

答案：B;C;D;A
解析：

1、主旨判斷題。從文中對美國大學(xué)生活的描述來看，文中列舉了很我數(shù)據(jù)并告訴我們，他們可以在網(wǎng)上進(jìn)行不少活動，網(wǎng)絡(luò)成了其生活中不可缺少的一部分。

2、細(xì)節(jié)判斷題。第三段說美國大學(xué)生88%有電腦，一半以有上寬帶接口，67%有手機(jī)，36%用手機(jī)上網(wǎng)等，從中可知C項(xiàng)是大學(xué)生活的一個特點(diǎn)，而其他三項(xiàng)明顯不對。

3、推理判斷題。文中沒有提到寫信、打電話、發(fā)手機(jī)短信等交際方式，全文圍繞電腦、網(wǎng)絡(luò)、電子郵件進(jìn)行描述。

4、細(xì)節(jié)判斷題。文中提到可以在網(wǎng)上聊天、購物，至于A項(xiàng)與C項(xiàng)，文中提到的“社會交往、傳遞信息”與C項(xiàng)有一定關(guān)聯(lián)，因此選A項(xiàng)，A項(xiàng)沒有提到。

閱讀理解

　　It is ten o'clock at night and you are outside. You can see many stars in the sky. Each star is another sun. The sky is big, and it hag many suns.

　　Our sun is near to us. It warms us and gives us light in daytime. The stars are not near. We can see their light only at night, and they do not warm us.

　　The stars are not all the same. Many stars are quite like our sun. They are the same size, and they have the same colour, yellow. Other stars are bigger or smaller. A “giant(巨人)” star is very, very big. A “dwarf(侏儒)”is a small star—smaller than the sun.

　　Stars have different colours, too. They can be blue, orange, yellow, white or red. There are giants and dwarfs in all these colours. All stars are, of course, very hot. The hottest stars are the blue ones. White stars come next, they are less hot. Then yellow and orange stars are less hot again. Red stars are the least hot, and they are also the oldest stars.

　　Light moves very quickly across the sky, eighteen million (18,000,000)kilometers in a minute. Our nearest star is a red dwarf. Its name is Proxima Centauri ( proxima ＝ nearest), and it gives a weak, red light. We can just see this light. It left Proxima Centauri 4.25 years ago, and now tonight, it is reaching cur eyes. Think about it! In one minute, 18,000,000 kilometres. So, in 4.25 years—well, how many kilometers? You can find the answer yourself.

　　I will just say this: Proxima Centauri is a long way from us.

1．According to the temperatures on stars, the right order from the lowest temperature to the highest is ________.

[　　]

A．red→yellow→white→blue

B．orange→red→blue→white

C．blue→white→yellow→red

D．white→blue→orange→red

2．All the following am right except ________.

[　　]

A．a(chǎn) “dwarf” is smaller than the sun

B．there are dwarfs in different colours

C．a(chǎn) “dwarf” is a small star

D．dwarfs are the least hot

3．How far away is the star Proxima Centauri from us?

[　　]

A．40,208,400,000,000 kilometres.

B．9,460,800,000,000 kilometres.

C．679,140,000,000 kilometres .

D．279,225,000,000 kilometres .

4．When we say “The star Procyon is ‘ten light years’ away.”, we mean ________.

[　　]

A．we can reach the star in ten years

B．we first saw the star ten years ago

C．the light left Procyon ten years ago

D．Procyon has been that far away for ten years

Then I did the same for Counsel,and we continued to swim near each other.

 But we were in serious trouble.The crew（船員）might not have noticed our disappearance.

And if they had,they could not return because the rudder（舵）had broken.Counsel thought of all this,and calmly made his plans.We decided to wait for the ship as long as possible,because we had no other hope of safety.I suggested that we save our strength so that both of us would not be tired out at the same time.This was how we did it:While one of us lay on his back,quite still,with arms crossed and legs stretched out（伸直）,the other would swim and push him along.We changed every ten minutes or so.In this way we could swim for hours,perhaps till daylight.The crash（破裂聲）of the ship and the whale（鯨）had appeared at about eleven o’clock.We had about eight hours to swim before daylight.This seemed possible,if the sea remained calm.

B.He jumped into the water to save the broken rudder.
