14、computerization. The poll found that the public favors some government protection from cyber-problems (网络问题 ), but in general people are not especially concerned about issues such as information overload or the never-ending flow of phone calls, faxes and e-mails. A separate survey of children aged 1
15、0-17 shows that they have a more positive attitude about computers than adults do, and most have made use of up-to-date technology in their schools. The survey found that enthusiasm for computers and the Internet is found in all income groups, all regions of the country, all races, and most age grou
16、ps. However, people over 60 and those towards the lower end of the income rank tend to show lower rates of computer ownership and Internet usage.

The 5 q
21、uestions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. 29 Many countries face a somewhat more serious economic problems in the form of an unfavorable trade balance (贸易逆差 ) with other nations. Such an imbalance exists when the total value of a country s imports exceeds that of its exports. For
22、 example, if a country buys $ 250 billion of products from other countries, yet sells only $ 100 billion of its own products overseas, its trade deficit is $ 150 billion. Many underdeveloped nations find themselves in this position because they lack natural resources or the industrial capacity to us
23、e these resources, and thus have to import raw materials or manufactured goods. One effect of a trade deficit is the flow of currency (货币 ) out of a country. In the case of an underdeveloped nation, this can cause many financial difficulties, including failure to meet debt payments and obstacles to
24、creation of an industrial base. Even in the case of a fully developed nation such as the United States, a large trade deficit is reason for alarm. American products, made by well-paid workers in US industries, cost more to produce than those made in places like Asia, where labor and material costs a
25、re much lower.

28、alance? （ A） Low labor and material costs in Asian countries. （ B） A lack of natural resources. （ C） An underdeveloped industrial base. （ D） The high cost of exported items. 34 It can be inferred from the passage that American industries_. （ A） do not pay their workers sufficient wages （ B） are hurt
29、 by a trade imbalance （ C） import labor and materials from overseas （ D） provide a strong industrial base that prevents a trade deficit Task 3 Directions: The following is a passage.

40、h they may be caught during winter and summer, fish are generally more sluggish(行动迟缓的 )then and less likely to chase the lure. Several other factors influence fishing.

41、is nearby, that game fish will be active. Some fish. particularly in salt water, move to different areas depending upon the phase of the moon and the levels of the ocean tides. Weather affects game fish activity, as fish are more likely to search for food before and after bad weather, when the water
