文档简介

Passage One Internet voting happens all the time but usually it s confined to topics such as Who is the cutest cast member of Party of Five Soon however people will be able to cast their ballots for President on the Internet In March Arizona Democrats will vote online in their state s presidential and Florida and Washington are considering online voting The military plans to allow a small test group of overseas soldiers to vote via the Internet this November The Internet voting is growing rapidly There are civic 市民的 engagement enthusiasts who see it as a way to prevent the drop in voter turnout Then there are the Internet fans who think the Internet is going to change everything so why not politics Most important are the people who make the plan for developing software for online voting Imagine the retail price of that software then multiply it by every state and city government and suddenly a lot of Internet capitalists develop a deeply felt concern for increasing voter turnout Some problems will arise Hackers and some Politicians could break into a voting database and make the secret ballot not so secret A massive computer failure would have disastrous consequences Just as serious online voting could distort participation levels at least to the wealthy and cyber connected In the long run however online voting might make little difference Since the 1960s the government has made numerous attempts to energize nonvoters by making it easier for them to get to the polls extending voting hours lowering the voting age etc Still voter turnout has decreased steadily Political scientists believe the important cause is indifference and dislike to politics not the inconvenience of voting Putting a ballot on the Internet might even further depress turnout by cheapening one of the holy ceremonies of democracy The business of democracy says Curtis Gans an analyst of voting behaviour shouldn t be the same as getting your e mail 56 The word ballot Line 2 Para 1 most probably means A vote B ball C dance D voter 57 Internet voting is growing rapidly because of all of the following EXCEPT that A civic engagement enthusiasts regard it as a way to prevent the drop in voter turnout B Internet fans think the Internet is going to change everything including politics C some people make the plan for developing software for online voting D some capitalists are very much concerned about the voter turnout 58 Which of the following is NOT a problem that will arise in Internet voting A People will gain unauthorized access to a database B Online voting system may be distorted C Participants will be mainly wealthy and cyber connected people D Computer failure 59 According to political scientists the important cause for decreased voter turnout is A the lack of interest in politics B the inconvenience of voting C the lack of regulations D the limited voting hours 60 What does Curtis Gans think of the Internet voting A 1t is not serious to vote by means of the Internet B Internet voting is a natural behavior just like sending an e mail C Government should make the polls easier for voters to get to D Fewer and fewer people are interested in Internet voting Passage Two One greater benefit of the Web is that it allows us to move information online that now resides in paper form Electronic commerce is increasing steadily It is difficult to measure because a lot of electronic commerce involves existing buyers and sellers who are simply moving paper based transactions to the Web That is not new business Microsoft for example purchases millions of dollars of PCs online instead of by paper However that is not a fundamental change it has just improved the efficiency of an existing process The biggest impact has occurred where electronic commerce matches buyers and sellers who would not previously have found each other That is a new type of commerce Today about half of all PCs are still not connected to the Web Getting communications costs down and making all the software simpler will bring in those people And that in turn will move us closer to the critical mass that will make the Web lifestyle everyone s lifestyle The boundary between a television set and a PC will be blurred 使模糊 because even the set top box 机顶盒 that you connect up to your cable or satellite will have a processor more powerful than what we have today in the most expensive PC This will in effect make your television a computer Interaction with the Web also will improve making it much easier for people to be involved Today the keywords we use to search the Web often display too many articles to sort through many of them out of context If you want to learn about the fastest computer chip available you might end up getting responses instead about potato chips being delivered in fast trucks If you ask about the speed of chips the result will be about computers not potatoes To predict that it will take over ten years for these changes to happen is probably pessimistic We usually overestimate what we can do in two years and underestimate what we can do in ten The Web will be as much a way of life as the car by 2008 or even earlier 61 Electronic commerce becomes a new type of commerce when A paper based trading is moved on to the Web B the efficiency of the existing process is improved by the Internet C a Web site offers more goods than a store D new buyers and sellers find each other on the Internet 62 One of the reasons why half of PCs are not connected to the Web is that A the software is not user friendly B people have no interest in the Web C the Web information is not reliable D people are too busy to get connected to the Web 63 The use of computer will be much more widespread when A the boundary between the computer and the TV disappears B electronic commerce brings about a fundamental change C computer and communication become simpler and cheaper D governments begin to move administration online 64 The example of potato chips in the passage is used to illustrate A the Web s ineffective interaction B the Web s too much information C the Web s lack of speed D the Web s inaccurate response 65 In this passage the author is trying to show that A everyone will be able to use computer and the Web by 2008 B computers will be able to recognize speech in 10 year time C the use of the Web will become more common and easier in the future D interaction with the Web will become easier to manage 56 60 A D B A A 61 65 D A C D C Today the ear is the most popular sort of transportation in all of the United States Et has completely 66 the horse as a 67 of everyday transportation Americans use their car for 68 90 of all 69 business Most Americans are able to 70 cars The average price of a 71 made car was 50 in 1950 469 in 1960 and up to
