Technology is costly and it is generally impossible to introduce advances to everyone
19、 at the same lime. So who gets this access first? As we travel further and further along the electronic frontier through advances such as telecommuting (在家办公 ) and the Interact, the poor may be isolated from mainstream society in an “information ghetto(贫民窟 )“ Drawing on a survey, the Census Bureau (
20、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
21、 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 sells associated with the traditional male role. As a result computers camps have become mainly male settings.
22、Like money, food, and other resources, technology is unevenly distributed within societies and throughout the world. The technology gap is widening rather than narrowing. Although nations are exchanging technical data more freely than before, critical technology transfer is often kept back. The tech
23、nology exported to developing countries may be poorly suited to the conditions of their economies and workplaces. 36 According to the writer, “information ghetto“ is caused by _ . （ A） the strict control of information （ B） the rapid technological advances （ C） the complete isolation of the poor （ D
24、） the existence of mainstream society 37 The data the Census Bureau collected indicates that _ . （ A） technology has widened the gap between the rich and the poor （ B） individual interest in computers might be a significant reason （ C） the survey has covered more than enough investigation samples （
25、D） the estimation by the Census Bureau is subject to correction 38 According to the writer, one supposed function of computer games is _ . （ A） to divide social roles between boys and girls （ B） to build up settings for sports or other male skills （ C） to make the public get familiar with the comput
26、er （ D） to intensify the inequality between men and women 39 It seems that critical technology is often _ . （ A） unavailable to the importing countries （ B） unavailable to the exporting countries （ C） not suitable to the developing countries （ D） keeping back the exporting countries economy 40 The w
27、riters attitude towards the development of technology is _ . （ A） negative （ B） indifferent （ C） exciting and praising （ D） concerned and critical Task 2 Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. 41 Ask three people to look out
28、the same window at a busy street comer and tell you what they see. Chances are you will receive three different answers. Each person sees the same scene, but each perceives something different about it. Perceiving goes on in our minds. Of the three people who look out the window, one may say that he
29、 sees a policeman giving a cyclist a ticket. Another may say that he sees a rush-hour traffic jam at the intersection. The third may tell you that he sees a woman trying to cross the street with four children in tow. For perception is the minds interpretation of what the senses-in this case our eyes
30、-tell us. Many psychologists today are working to try to determine just how a person experiences or perceives the world around him. Using a scientific approach, these psychologists set up experiments in which they can control all of the factors. By measuring and charting the results of many experime
31、nts, they are trying to find out what makes different people perceive totally different things about the same scene. 41 According to the passage, when three people look out the same window, _ . （ A） they will give three different answers （ B） they will see three different scenes （ C） they cannot see
32、 clearly （ D） they can only see the busy traffic 42 Three people see the same scene but perceive something different, because _ . （ A） a policeman was giving a cyclist a ticket （ B） there was a traffic jam at the intersection （ C） a woman was trying to cross the street with four children （ D） their
