14.Passage 1
The information Highway is the road that links computer users to a large number of on-line services; the Web,e-mail,and software,to mention just a few.Not long ago,the information Highway was a new road,with not many users.Now,everyone seems to want to take a drive,with over 30million families connected worldwide.Not surprisingly,this well-traveled highway is starting to look like a well-traveled highway.Traffic jams can cause many serious problems,forcing the system to close down for repair.Naturally,accidents will happen on such a crowded road,and usually victims are some files,gone forever.Then,of course,there's Mr.Cool,with his new broad-band connection,who speeds down the highway faster than most of us can go.But don't trick yourself; he pays for that speeding.
Passage 2
Want to know more about global warming and how you can help prevent it?Doctor Herman Friedman,who is considered a leading expert on the subject,will speak at Grayson Hall next Friday.Friedman studied environmental science at three well-known universities around the world before becoming a professor in the subject.He has also traveled around the world observing environmental concerns.The gradual bleaching (變白) of the Great Barrier Reef,which came into the public eye in 2002,is his latest interest.Signed copies of his colorful book,which was published just last month,will be on sale after his talk.

分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀,作者通過這篇文章主要向我們描述了兩篇小短文,第一篇講述關(guān)于信息高速公路發(fā)展迅速的信息;第二篇介紹了一張關(guān)于演講的海報吸引讀者.
解答 21.D.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章第一部分"Not long ago,the information Highway was a new road,with not many users.Now,everyone seems to want to take a drive,with over 30million families connected worldwide"不久前,信息高速公路是一條新路,沒有多少用戶.現(xiàn)在,似乎每個人都想開車,有3000多萬家庭連接世界;可知它吸引了很多用戶;故選D.
22.D.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章第一部分"Then,of course,there's Mr.Cool,with his new broad-band connection,who speeds down the highway faster than most of us can go"當然,還有Cool先生,他的新的寬帶連接,它在公路的速度比我們大多數(shù)人都快;故選D.
23.A.推理判斷題.通讀全文,可知文章第二部分主要講對一個講座的介紹,旨在吸引讀者去聽講座;可知這是一張關(guān)于演講的海報;故選A.
點評 考察學生的細節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力,做細節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進行比較,再做出正確的選擇.在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實,要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.
