Unit 3 Computers阅读理解ALaptop computers are popular all over the world. People use them on trains and airplanes, in airports and hotels. These laptops connect people to their workplace. In the United States today, laptops also connectstudents to their classrooms. Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolworkanywhere they want. Within five years, each of the 1500 students at the college will receive a laptop. The laptops are part of a 10 million computer program at Westlake, a 110-year-old college. The students with laptops will also have access to the Internet. In addition, they will be able to use e-mail to speak with their teachers, their classmates, and their families. However, the most important part of the laptop program is that students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs. They can work with it at home, in afast-food restaurant or under the trees-anywhere at all! Because of the many changes in computer technology, laptop use in higher education, such as collegesand universities, is workable. As laptops become more powerful, they become more similar to desktopcomputers. In addition, the portable computers can connect students to not only the Internet, but also libraries and other resources. State higher-education officials are studying how laptops can help students. Stateofficials are also testing laptop programs at other universities, too. At Westlake College, more than 60 percent of the staff use computers. The laptops will allow all teachersto use computers in their lessons. As one Westlake teacher said, Here we are in the middle of Virginia andwere giving students a window on the world.

What can we infer (推断)from the passage?A. The program is successfulB. The program is not workable.C. The program is too expensive.D. We dont know the result yetBAs Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information, are people remembering less? If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how. In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know how the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it. In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the computer. The information was in a specific computer folder (文件夹). Surprisingly, people later remember the folder location (位置) better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called transactive memory (交互记忆) According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories; that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesnt mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.5. The passage begins with two questions to _. A. introduce the main topicB. show the authors attitude C. describe how to use the Internet. D. explain how to store information6. What can we learn about the first experiment? A.

The second group did not understand the information.7. In transactive memory, people _.

What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrows research? A. We are using memory differently.B. We are becoming more intelligent. C. We have poorer memories than before.D. We need a better way to access information.CSince the Internet came into homes, the daily life has never been the same again. But the thing that worries most of us is that we can get viruses from the Internet. But can we catch viruses on our cell phones? A new study in the journal Science says yes, but the spread of such mobile software that can bring harm to our cell phones wont reach dangerous levels until more cell phones are on the same operating system.Computers are easily attacked by viruses because they share data, especially over the Internet. Of course, nowadays, more people are using their cell phones more and more frequently. They use them for emailing, text messaging and downloading ring tones, etc., so it is evident that cell phone viruses are a threat as well.Scientists used nameless call data from more than six million cell phone users to help model a possible outbreak. And they concluded that viruses that spread from phone to phone by Bluetooth are not much concerned, because users have to be in close physical relation for their phones to “see” one another. However, viruses that spread through multimedia messaging services can move much faster, because they can come in disguise（伪装）, such as a cool tune sent by a friend. The good news is that to be effective, these viruses need their victims(受害人) to all use the same operating system, which not enough of us do. Thank goodness.9. What is the passage mainly about?A.

When _, cell phone viruses can be dangerous.A. all the cell phones work on the same operating systemB.

It can increase the chances of cell phone viruses greatly.B. It can help us to stop the spreading of cell phone viruses.C. It wont possibly cause the outbreak of cell phone viruses.D. It can make users have close physical relation with one another.12. We can learn from the passage that _.A. it is impossible to catch viruses on our cell phonesB. cell phones are not well connected with the InternetC. it is dangerous for people to download ring tones to cell phonesD. more than one operating system is used for cell phones nowDA jobless man applied for the position of office boy at Microsoft.

But just as in face-to-face communication, there are some rules of behavior that should be followed whenon line. 16Imagine how youd feel if you were in the other persons shoes. For anything youre about to send, ask yourself, Would I say this to the persons face? if the answer is no, rewrite and reread.17 If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct (本能) is to fight back in the same manner. But try not to do so.18If it is caused by a disagreement with another member, try to fix the situation by politely discussing it. Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room. 19Offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate. When someone makes a mistake, whether its a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer, be kind aboutit. If its a small mistake, you may not need to say anything. Even if you feel strongly about it, think twice before saying anything. Having good manners yourself doesnt give you license to correct everyone else. 20At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended(冒犯).

Repeat the process till you feel sure that youd feel comfortable saying the words to a persons face.完形填空Computer hackers (黑客) have now got their hands on mobile phones.

With the development of the network, computers have become very important in 42 (communicate), finance and trade, and people all over the world can share their knowledge 43 others through the World Wide Web. Nowadays boys and girls even use their mobile phones to surf the Internet. In order to explore the moon and Mars, computers have already been put into space rockets.
