1、BFT阅读（综合）模拟试卷 15及答案与解析 一、 Part 2 0 1. The private car is assumed to have widened our horizons and increased our mobility. When we consider our childrens mobility, they can be driven to more places(and more distant places)than they could visit without access to a motor vehicle. However, allowing our

2、cities to be dominated by cars has progressively eroded childrens independent mobility. Children have lost much of their freedom to explore their own neighborhood or city without adult supervision. 2. Childrens independent access to their local streets may be important for their own personal, mental

3、 and psychological development. Allowing them to get to know their own neighborhood and community gives them a “sense of place“. This depends on active exploration, which is not provided for when children are passengers in cars.(Such children may see more, but they learn less.)Not only is it importa

4、nt that children be able to get to local play areas by themselves, but walking and cycling journeys to school and to other destinations provide genuine play activities in themselves. 3. There are very significant time and money costs for parents associated with transporting their children to school,

5、 sport and to other locations. Research in the United Kingdom estimated that this cost, in 1990, was between 10 billion and 20 billion pounds. 4. The reduction in childrens freedom may also contribute to a weakening of the sense of local community. As fewer children and adults use the streets as ped

6、estrians, these streets become less sociable places. There is less opportunity for children and adults to have the spontaneous exchanges that help to engender a feeling of community. This in itself may exacerbate fear associated with assault and molestation of children, because there are fewer adult

7、s available who know their neighbors children, and who can look out for their safety. 5. The extra traffic involved in transporting children results in increased traffic congestion, pollution and accident risk. As our roads become more dangerous, more parents drive their children to more places, thu

8、s contributing to increased levels of danger for the remaining pedestrians. Anyone who has experienced either the reduced volume of traffic jams near schools at the end of a school day, will not need convincing about these points. Thus, there are also important environmental implications of children

9、s loss of freedom. 6. As individuals, parents strive to provide the best upbringing they can for their children. However, in doing so,(e. g. by driving their children to sport, school or recreation)parents may be contributing to a more dangerous environment for children generally. The idea that “str

10、eets are for cars and backyards and playgrounds are for children“ is a strongly held belief, and parents have little choice as individuals but to keep their children off the streets if they want to protect their safety.

Shareware is computer software that is distributed on the principle that user can try it before they buy it. Shareware is not free software, and it is still protected by copyright laws, the essen

16、tial difference between shareware and ordinary commercial software is that users are permitted to run a shareware program to test it for a reasonable time perhaps for 30 days before registering and paying for it. Users who do not pay for it are on their hour, if any to stop using it. 2. Because shar

17、eware is freely distributed, it avoids many of the costs of commercial distribution. Shareware programs are usually passed around without boxes and manuals, and there are no dealers to take a cut of the profits. Shareware libraries are allowed to make a small charge to cover the cost of any risks, a

18、nd on-line services may charge for connection time while a program is downloaded to a users personal computer, but these sums are small. As a result, shareware is usually much cheaper than commercial software and it can be of very good value. 3. The shareware market was most successful in the early

19、days of IBM Personal Computer, launched in the USA in 1981. At the time, there was relatively little commercial software around, there were not many shops selling programs, and commercial standards were relatively low. Good shareware programs such as PC-Write and PC-File generated millions of dollar

20、s worth of sales. Today, quality software suites such as Microsoft Works and Claris Works are widely available and cheap; so most shareware programs are simpler products that often could not be distributed on a commercial basis. 4. Software writers have made a variety of attempts to encourage users

21、to pay for programs when the test period runs out. Payment may, for example, be rewarded with an upgraded version of the program, a printed manual, and support if there are problems. Some programs include warnings or advertising messages that urge the user to pay. Some programs limit their software

22、or stop it from working after 30 days. 5. Today, shareware is not as popular as it has been, and there are fewer shareware libraries in operation. However, the future is not necessarily hopeless. Many computer users have now become used to downloading programs over the Internet, and this means that

23、more users have easy access to shareware. Questions 1-5 Directions: For questions 1-5, choose the best title for each paragraph from below.
