any other machine on which he has an account.it is possible to use the ftp program to copy files from one machine on the internet to another.but the internet also brings us troubles.internet use seems to cause a fall in psychological(心理的) health,according to research at carnegie mellon university.even people who spent just a few hours a week on the internet experienced more depression and loneliness than those who logged on less often,the two-year study showed.and it wasnt that people who were already feeling bad spent more time on the internet,but that using the net actually seemed to cause the bad feelings.researchers are puzzling over the results,which were completely opposite to what they had expected.they expected that the net would prove socially healthier than the television,since the net allows users to choose their information and to communicate with others.the fact that internet use reduces time used for family and friends may be the reason for the drop in health,researchers said.faceless,bodiless“virtual”(虚拟的)communication may be less psychologically satisfying than actual conversations,and the relationships formed through it may not be so deep.another possibility is that exposure to the wider world through the net makes users less satisfied with their lives.“but its important to remember this is not about the technology;its about how it is used,” said one of the researchers.“it really points to the need for considering social factors(因素) when you design new inventions.”25.the writer mainly wants to tell us that .a.the internet can bring people many advantagesb.the internet use may cause psychological problemsc.the internet users are not satisfied with their livesd.we shouldnt use the internet答案:b解析:细节理解题。由第三段“but the internet also brings us troubles.”和第四段中的“internet use seems to cause a fall in psychological(心理的)health,according to research at carnegie mellon university.”这一信息可知b项正确。26.why are the researchers puzzling over the results?a.because the results were completely different from what they had thought.b.because the net proved socially healthier than the television.c.because the internet users were all healthier.d.because the internet users experienced less depression and loneliness.答案:a解析:细节理解题。由第五段中“researchers are puzzling over the results,which were completely opposite to what they had expected.”这一信息可知,a项正确。27.what may be the reasons why internet use causes a fall in psychological health?a.internet use reduces time used for family and friends.b.virtual communication is less psychologically satisfying than actual conversations.c.exposure to the wider world through the net makes users less satisfied with their lives.d.all of the above.答案:d解析:推理判断题。由倒数第二段所讲述的内容可知d项正确。28.what does the underlined part in the last paragraph mean?a.what matters is not the technology but how it is used.b.this passage is not about the technology but about how it is used.c.we should remember to learn about the technology.d.we should remember to learn how to use computers.答案:a解析:推理判断题。由句意“但是重要的是记住,问题不在于技术本身,而是关于如何利用这种技术。”可知,a项符合句意。ccomputer technology is still developing rapidly.the computer of the future will continue to increase in value and performance while decreasing in cost.it will become smaller,but faster and more powerful.it is possible to make some guesses about what the future of the computer will look like,based upon the types of technologies that are being developed now.a lot of progress has already been made in some of these new technologies,but some are still in their earliest stages and may not be ready for use for years.two of the most interesting areas of computing that are currently being developed are quantum computing(量子计算) and nanotechnology(纳米技术).quantum computing is one possibility for the future of the computer that could make computers run far faster than even the quickest computers do today.quantum computers could be able to do what modern supercomputers are unable to do by using transistors that are able to take on many states at the same time.nanotechnology could also change the face of computing,by creating computers that could be very powerful,though they are tiny in size.these computers could be incorporated(并入)into everyday objects,including electrical appliances(电器),clothes and even the human body.we will be able to use computers in new and unimaginable ways.they will become a part of our lives rather than simply being a box that is used only for specific purposes,such as work.quantum computing and nanotechnology will be able to play new roles,which will make us live greener lives,as well as enjoy healthier and happier lives.29.which of the following can not describe the computer of the future properly?a.much smaller.b.much faster.c.more powerful.d.less valuable.答案:d解析:细节理解题。由第一段最后一句“it will become smaller,but faster and more powerful.”可知,d项没有提到。30.according to the text,quantum computing .a.has been put in use so farb.can make computers run by themselvesc.can reduce the cost of computersd.will work by using transistors答案:d解析:细节理解题。由第三段“.to do what modern supercomputers are unable to do by using transistors that.”可知d项正确。31.we can learn from the text that nanotechnology will .a.create much smaller computersb.be used in electrical appliances and clothingc.change the structure of computersd.make computers just serve specific purposes答案:b解析:细节理解题。由第四段“these computers could be incorporated(并入)into everyday objects,including electrical appliances(电器),clothes and even the human body.”可知b项正确。32.the text is mainly about .a.what nanotechnology isb.what quantum computing isc.what the future of the computer isd.what future computers can bring us答案:c解析:主旨大意题。第三、四两段分别介绍了quantum computing(量子计算)和nanotechnology(纳米技术)将来在电脑上的应用,故选c项。dchinas new buzzword,tuhao,may be in next years oxford english dictionary.“if its influence continues,it is very likely to appear on our updated list of words,” said julie kleeman,project manager with the editing team.in chinese,tu means uncouth(粗野的) and hao means rich.it has traditionally been referred to rich people who throw their weight around in chinas rural areas.in recent years,people borrowed the term to describe those who spend money in an unreasonable manner.the word gained acceptance in september with the launch(上市) of apples new gold-coloured iphone,an item loved by chinas rich people.the colour became known as “tuhao gold”.the word is now often used by the online community to refer to people who have the cash but lack the class to go with it.kleeman also mentioned two other chinese wordsdama and hukouwhich may also be taken in the dictionary.hukou means household registration(登记) in chinese and has been widely used.dama,meaning middle-aged women,was first used in the western media by the wall street journal in may when thousands of chinese women were buying up record number of gold.they were the driving force in the global gold market between april and june when the gold prices had gone down.“we have nearly 120 chinese-linked words now in oxford english dictionary,” she said.some of them are:guanxi,literally meaning “connection”,is the system of social networks and influential relationships which promote business and other dealings.taikonaut is a mix of taikong,meaning outer space,and astronaut.the new words will be first uploaded on the official website before the dictionaries arrive.the online version is also renewed every three months.“it at least broke our old rules.it used to take 10 years to include a new word but now we keep the pace with the era,” according to john simpson.33.what does “tuhao” mean now?a.the rich who like iphone made of gold.b.the people who have much money in the countryside.c.the people who spend money reasonably.d.the rich who buy much gold.答案:b解析:细节理解题。由第二段第二句“it has traditionally been referred to rich people who throw their weight around in chinas rural areas.”可知,tuhao指的农村的暴发户,故选b项。34.why is the word “dama” popular now?a.they bought gold in the global market.b.they are wealthy middle-aged women.c.they
