functions而知正确答案是D（它旨在取悦于大众）。

28、Initsearlydays,apennypaperoften.

知识点解析：第二段说：大众报纸早期的内容往往是非常刺激的。人情味的故事压

倒了重要的新闻，犯罪与性故事往往描写得很细致。所以正确答案是B（提供适合

大众口味的故事）。

29>Asthereadershipwasgrowingmorediverse,thepennypaper.

标准答案：A

知识点解析：第二段说大众报纸仍然保留了大众化的写作风格和新闻报道方式，但

它变成了一种能提供重要信息的、受人尊敬的出版物。所以正确答案是A（改善了

33、Thepassageismainlytotell.

标准答案：B

知识点解析：本文主要介绍了Amerika在计算机网络里写作，举例介绍了他所创作

的Grammatron的特点。由此可推论，正确答案是B（MarkAmerika是怎样创作

Grammatron的）。

34、WhydoestheauthoraskthereadertoforgetwhatVirginiaWoolfsaidaboutthe

necessitiesofawriter?

标准答案：D

知识点解析：因为VirginiaWoolf所说的作家不是那种写计算机网络小说的作家。

后者的创作需要的条件要多得多而不仅仅是一个房间。所以正确答案是D（“H己的

房间“远远不能满足一个在计算机网络中创作的作家的需要）。

35、Asanon-linenaiTative,Grammatronisanythingbutstablebecauseit.

标准答案：A

知识点解析：文章说Grammatron的1000多个文本画面含有超文本的好多文章。

要进入下一个画面，只须双击，但每一个超文本都是一个陷阱的门，它把你带到故

事发展的另一条路上去。所以正确答案是A（提供故事发展的各种潜在可能）。

36、Bysayingthathebecamesortofdependentontheindustry,MarkAmcrikameant

37、Asthepassageshows,Grammatronmakesitpossibleforreadersto.

标准答案：B

知识点解析：文中说网络的令人兴奋之处是，读者可.以增加声音、随机连接、三维

模型和动画。根据此描述，正确答案是B。A,C,D在原文未提到。

38、Amerikatoldhisstudentsnotto.

标准答案：A

知识点解析：根据最后一段中Amerika的话“我告诉他们不要只是陷入情节”，正确

答案是A。

39、Whatoccurredastoldatthebeginningofthepassage?

标准答案：D

知识点解析：本题问文章的开头讲述了什么事情。第一段讲述了两个十岁的男孩儿

谋杀了一个两岁的小男孩。所以正确答案是D。

40、Accordingtothepassage,JonVenablesandRobertThompson.

标准答案：A

知识点解析：根据afterspendingeightyearsinjuvenilefacilities可推论正确答案是

A（他们一直被当作少年犯）。

41、TheBritishjusticesystemisafraidthatthetwoyoungmenwould.

标准答案：B

知识点解析：第二段讲到英国法制面临的困境是如何将两个臭名远扬的渣子重新融

人社会……法官裁决，由于两个年轻人在释放后处于非常危险的境地，他们需要得

到前所未有的保护。因此正确答案是B（释放后为社会所抛弃）。

42、AccordingtotheBritishcourts,aftertheirreturntosociety,thetwoadultswillbe

标准答案：C

知识点露析：第二段中说所有英国媒体将被禁止发布有关他们下落或政府给他们建

立新身份的任何信息。他们的照片或有关他们的现在的长相也将被禁止出示。所以

正确答案是C（被防止认出是杀人犯）。

43、FromthepassagewecaninferthataUScounterpartofVanablesorThompson

would.

标准答案：D

知识点解析：本题问根据本文，如果JonVenables或RobertThompson是个美国少

年犯将会如何。第三段说：在美国，对少年犯比英国更加严厉，这样的做法是难以

想像的。过去的几十年里，美国的趋势是允许公开关于未成年犯罪的信息。美国比

英国更重视新闻自由。所以正确答案是D（毫无疑问，在美国会受到广泛的公众注

44>Asregardsthementionedjusticeruling,thelastparagraphmainlytellsthat.

标准答案：A

知识点解析：最后一段首句：即使在英国，这种命令也是超乎寻常的。之后说了人

们对判决的争议。所以正确答案是A(由于没有先例，所以很有争议)。

标准答案：B
