use cellphones; by the time they get to high school that figure has shot up to 96 percent, according to a government survey releasedTheyre using their phones to read books, listen to music, chat with friends and surf the Internet-an average of 124 minutes a day for high school girls and 92 minutes for boysWhile the wired world they now inhabit holds enormous advantages for learning and communicating, it also brings a downsideIt becomes a weapon that children can hold against each other with no thought for the consequencesA girl doing the bullying （威吓）confessed （承认） it made her feel good to see the unease spreading on her friends faceThe cellphones will eventually become their main means of communicationEducation professor Tetsuro Saito said a survey of 1600 middle school students aged around 14 found about 60 percent carried cellphones and nearly half used them to send 20 or more emails a dayMost middle school cellphone users rarely used their phones to talk, the survey foundSaito said children seemed to want the security of communicating with someone, without the bother of dealing with a real person“Communication ability is bound to decline as cellphones and other devices are now getting between people,” he saidTonny, a student, said, “I send some 20 emails a dayTherere people I dont talk with-even if I see them at schoolI just exchange emails with themI guess were connected only by a machine”Saitos survey found that students can also use their cellphones as an emotional supportMore than 60 percent of students who said they dont enjoy being with their families send 20 or more emails a day, compared with 35 percent of those happy with their families41High school students use their cellphones in many fields EXCEPT _Ain their studies Bin communicationCin entertainment Din committing crimes42Though cellphones play an important role, they also bring disadvantages like _Aa rise in teenagers emotional problems and bullyingBa rise in the conflicts between teenagers and their parentsCa growing teenagers inability to get along well with othersDan increasing number of teenagers playing games on the phones43One of the reasons why students like using cellphones to communicate is that _Athey feel it embarrassing to deal with others face to faceBthey like to make others feel unease with their phonesCthey feel safer to use cellphones than meet a real personDthey feel it more convenient to send emails with cellphones44According to Saitos survey, middle school students _Ause cellphones mainly to talk about their studies with each otherBget more dependent on phones as their problems at home increaseCoften use cellphones to talk about their problems with teachersDbecome more dependent on cellphones as they grow older45Which of the following opinions does the author most probably hold?AIt is necessary to forbid middle school students to use cellphonesBThere are more benefits than harm to kids behind cellphone screensCTeenagers have become victims of cellphonesDThere is a very scary world behind cellphone screensCIn Western countries people have been using the installment （分期付款） plan since the first half of the twentieth centuryToday, a large number of families in Great Britain buy furniture, household goods and cars by installmentsIn the US, the figure is much higher than in Great Britain, and people there spend over 10 percent of their income on the installment planThe price of an article bought on installments is always higher than the price that would be paid by cashThere is a charge for interestThe buyer pays one quarter or one third of the price as a down payment when the goods are delivered to himHe then makes regular payments, weekly or monthly, until the full price is paid upThe legal ownership of the goods remains with the seller until the final payment has been madeInstallment buying has advantages and disadvantagesIt can help couples with small incomes to furnish their homes and start housekeepingIt increases the demand for goods, and in this way helps business and employmentThere is, however, the danger that when business is bad, installment buying may end suddenly, making business much worseThis may result in a great increase in unemploymentIf the people on the installment plan lose their jobs, they will probably not be able to make their paymentsIf great numbers of people are not able to pay their installment debts there is a possibility that businessmen cannot collect their debts and will therefore lose moneyIf businessmen lose money or fail to make a satisfactory profit, it becomes more likely to have a depressionThis is why, in some countries, the government controls the installment plan by fixing the amount of the down payment and installments to discourage people from buying more than they can pay for on the installment plan46Which of the following is NOT true about the installment plan?AA lot of British families use the installment planBMore than 10 percent American families buy things on installmentsCAmericans depend more on installment than British people doDAmericans spend one tenth of their income on installment buying47Goods bought on installments are more expensive than goods bought by cash because _Athe buyer has to pay extra money as interestBthe delivery of the goods charges extra moneyCthe buyer has to pay a down paymentDthe service offered by installment plan charged extra money48What will happen to a buyer if he fails to make the full payment for an item bought on installments?AHe might lose his jobBHe will stop owning the item he has boughtCHe will have to sell what he has boughtDHe will go into debt49The advantage of installment buying might include all the following EXCEPT that _Apurchasing power is strengthenedBemployment might be increasedCpeople develop a good habit of saving moneyDyoung couples are able to furnish their homes50In some countries, the governments control the installment plan to _Aincrease employment Bavoid depressionsCensure that businesses make good profitsDensure that people can pay for what hey buyDIn a few years, you might be able to speak Chinese, Korean, Japanese, French, and Englishand all at the same timeThis sounds incredible, but Alex Waibel, a computer science professor at USs Carnegie Mellon University （CMU） and Germanys University of Karlsruhe, announced last week that it may soon be realityHe and his team have invented software and hardware that could make it far easier for people who speak different languages to understand each otherOne application （应用程序）, called Lecture Translation, can easily translate a speech from one language into anotherCurrent translation technologies typically limit speakers to certain topics or a limited vocabularyUsers also have to be trained how to use the programme Another prototype （雏形机） can send translations of a speech to different listeners depending on what language they speak“It is like having a simultaneous （同时的） translator right next to you but without disturbing the person next to you,” Waibel saidPrefer to read? So-called Translation Glasses transcribe （转录） the translations on a tiny liquid-crystal （液晶） display （LCD） screenThen theres the Muscle TranslatorElectrodes capture the electrical signals from facial muscle movements made naturally when a person is mouthing wordsThe signals are then translate d into speechThe electrodes could be replaced with wireless chips implanted （灌输） in a persons face, according to researchersDuring a demonstration held last Thursday in CMUs Pittsburgh campus, a Chinese student named Sang Jun had 11 tiny electrodes attached to the muscles of his cheeks, neck and throatThen he mouthedwithout speaking alouda few words in Mandarin to the audienceA few seconds later, the phrase was displayed on a computer screen and spoken out by the computer in English and Spanish: “Let me introduce our new prototype”This particular gadget （器械）,when fully developed, might allow anyone to speak in any number of languages or, as Waibel put it, “to switch your mouth to a foreign language”“The idea behind the universitys prototypes is to create good enough bridges for cross-cultural exchanges that are becoming more common in the world,” Waibel saidWith spontaneous（自发的） translators, foreign drivers in Germany could listen to traffic warnings on the radio, tourists in China could read all the signs and talk with local people, and leaders of different countries could have secret talks without any interpreters there51Which of the following statements is not true?AA lecture translation can translate what you said into other languages easilyBMuscle Translators can translate what you think into speech if you just move yourmouthCThere is no Muscle Translator in the world nowDThe spontaneous translators will help us a lot52What kind of equipment is NOT mentioned in this passage?ALecture Translation BMultiple TranslatorCMuscle Translator DTranslation Prototype53Whats the final destination of inventing the language translators?ATo make cultural exchanges between different countries easierBTo help students learn foreign languages more easilyCTo make people live in foreign countries m
