C.thecompleteisolationofthepoor

D.theexistenceofmainstreamsociety

答案:B［解析］由第一段第一句"技术增加了人与人之间的不平等"

以及后面讲到的"总是富人先获得使用先进技术的权利"可知，这样

答案:A［解析］由第二段可知，国家调查局根据一份调查，估出在收入

不到10,000美元的家庭中，拥有电脑的家庭只占6.8%,而收入在

［大学英语考试复习资料］(A)大学三级(A)模拟423

75,000美元及以上的家庭中拥有电脑的家庭占61.7%。也就是说，

穷人家庭中电脑拥有率很低,而富人家庭电脑拥有率很高。电脑代表

先进的技术。所以可以说，技术拉大了穷人与富人之间的差距，故选

A。

4.Itseemsthatcriticaltechnologyisoften.

A.unavailabletotheimportingcountries

B.unavailabletotheexportingcountries

C.notsuitabletothedevelopingcountries

D.keepingbacktheexportingcountries'economy

答案:A［解析］由最后一段的最后一句可知，出口到发展中国家的技术

可能不太适合当地的经济状况和工作环境，所以应该是对进口国没用，

［大学英语考试复习资料］(A)大学三级(A)模拟423

故选A。

5.Thewriter'sattitudetowardsthedevelopmentof

technologyis.

A.negative

B.indifferent

C.excitingandpraising

0.concernedandcritical

答案:D［解析］根据第一段的前两句话可知，技术只会增加人与人之

间的不平等，下文也在谈论技术进步如何增加人与人之间的不平等,

所以作者的态度是关切的、批判性的，故选D。

D.areoneoftheownersofthecompanyorthefactory

［大学英语考试复习资料］(A)大学三级(A)模拟423

答案:D［解析］根据文章第一段最后一句，公司的每一股都意味着一

部分的公司所有权，持有该公司部分股票的人自然是公司的拥有者之

一了；持股人只是公司的拥有者之一，无权买卖公司，故A和B错

误；C意思是人们一旦购买了公司的股票就成为公司的拥有者，显然

不对，故选D。

不完全取决于公司的经营状况，而是不明原因的上下波动；A,B和

答案:A［解析］最后一段中提及炒股票类似于赌博，人们将钱投资在股

票上意味着把资金注入某家公司，该公司利用这些钱经营、发展，所

得收益的一部分再返还给持股人。B和C中公司得到资金不是为了变

选A。
