科目:高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源:2011年黑龍江省大慶實(shí)驗(yàn)中學(xué)高二下學(xué)期期末考試英語(yǔ)卷 題型:閱讀理解
In the computer age, most of us take a broadband Internet connection for granted. Whether cable or mobile broadband, today’s connections are many times faster than those in the early days. Videos play smoothly, complex websites load quickly, and files download much faster than ten years ago. And the files are much bigger too.
There’s a catch, of course. You have to live near enough to a major city to get broadband Internet. If you don’t, it’s slow dial-up access for you. And for those living really far out, there may be no Internet access at all.
Technology experts often talk about the “l(fā)ast mile” problem, which refers to the difficulty of bringing Internet access to remote locations. In cities and suburbs, it’s relatively easy to provide access for everyone. It is much more difficult to deliver access to those living far from cities, especially in developing countries. Internet service providers, for their part, have been reluctant to provide access to sparsely(稀疏地) populated areas. The handful of Internet users they would reach wouldn’t cover the expense.
But every year, technological advancements allow of more and more Internet users. Most broadband connections today run over existing cable TV and telephone lines although these technologies aren’t available everywhere. Some companies have delivered the Internet over standard power lines. Advancements in cheaper, more efficient fiber optics cables(光纖電纜) promise to bring extremely fast Internet connections to more users.
Still, the “l(fā)ast mile” problem remains hard to deal with. There will always be somewhere that doesn’t have an affordable broadband connection. But someday that might not matter. If the rapid progress in cell phone technology is any indication(跡象), it may not be too long before an Internet connection simply follows you wherever you go.
【小題1】The underlined part “ a catch” (in Paragraph 2) probably means “________”.
A.a(chǎn) rare challenge | B.a(chǎn) desirable plan |
C.a(chǎn)n efficient device | D.a(chǎn) hidden problem |
A.Internet connection has not been popular in most cities. |
B.Internet service providers care about rural customers. |
C.Computer is popular in developing countries. |
D.It is hard to bring Internet access to users in remote areas. |
A.make TV and telephone available everywhere |
B.bring great change to people’s everyday life |
C.make it possible for more people to use the Internet |
D.bring faster Internet connections to users |
A.The broadband connection’s getting faster. |
B.More and more Internet users. |
C.More and more Internet connections. |
D.The rapid progress in cell phone technology. |

It may not be news to parents of teenage girls, but researchers have confirmed that no one can stop their 16-year-old daughter from deciding how the family spends its money.
The willpower and determination of teenage girls give them a big say in how a family’s money is spent on everything from food and meals to mobile phones, and, of course, clothes. Teenage boys did not show up at all in the analysis, which was designed to find out the influence of young people on household spending.
The findings on the spending power of teenage girls were calculated from Office for National Statistics records of family spending during the 1980s and 1990s. Researchers examined how much money went on services and leisure goods in different kinds of homes. They checked spending on food, restaurant meals, alcohol, tobacco, services, heating, transport, clothes and sports in 2,745 British families.
They found that teenage girls in the UK typically played an active role in family decisions about the allocation(分配)of household resources. But older children— those over the age of 21 who are still living with their parents—appear to have no say in household decisions.
They also tried to calculate to what extent the bargaining power of a teenager affected family budgets. “Every parent knows that children, even at a very early age, have their own preferences with regard to consumption, researchers said. “But children are only interested in a limited range of goods—mainly sweets and toys—and parents are able to use punishment to reduce their children’s bargaining power or remove it.” When they become teenagers, however, girls are much more independent and they are capable of earning their own money, which improves their bargaining power in family decisions.
The researchers could not explain why girls have more influence over spending while the evidence for boys is much less conclusive. However, this study could be of great significance to market research and how marketers target children.
【小題1】 From the passage we can learn that .
A.teenage girls have more influence over family budgets than teenage boys |
B.teenage boys don't want to decide on household spending |
C.teenage boys have some influence over household |
D.teenage girls have weaker willpower and determination than teenage boys |
A.Make them dare to say something. |
B.Make them want to know. |
C.Make them say something meaningful. |
D.Make their influence stronger. |
A.girls living with parents |
B.girls over 21 |
C.girls over 12 |
D.girls living alone |
A.By persuading them |
B.By offering them sweets or toys. |
C.By threatening to punish them. |
D.By allocating household resources. |

Are You Ready for College?
Before you send in your college applications, keep this in mind: it’s not the norm (準(zhǔn)則) in every culture for students to go to college right out of high school.
【小題1】So if you find yourself applying for college simply because it’s the thing to do after high school, think again. Going to college right after high school may be the norm in your community, but it’s not the norm everywhere and it may not be the best decision for you.
【小題2】 Yes, higher education often gives young people a big advantage in the working world, but not always. A solid technical or business school application can give you an advantage as well, and if the environment seems like a better one for you than a traditional college campus, this might be your best choice. A lot of people lead successful lives with a high school education and years of work experience.
The price of a college or university education has become a serious burden for young people and their families. 【小題3】 In some cases, putting off college for a year or two while a student earns money full time can make sense. 【小題4】
【小題5】 Almost all students suffer from homesickness, but for some students, the transition may be too much to deal with.
A.Is going to college always the best choice for high school graduates? |
B.Spend some time considering your choices before sending in your applications. |
C.Besides, it’s quite possible that going to college is not the right choice for you. |
D.During this time, the student can take a few inexpensive classes at a community college. |
