Question

Look at the diagram. It   ?    something of home computer used by a group of young people. We asked thirty young people between fourteen and eighteen. We asked them how much  ?   they usually spent on their computers in a week, but we were most interested in  ????   they used their computers for.

The usual time spent on a computer in a week was about twelve hours, with  ???? user about thirty-two hours, and the lowest user only five hours.

All the children said they usually used computers  ??   . Fourteen children told us they did some word processing (文字處理)  ??    . Only two of them said computers helped with their lessons, and eight people told us they kept addresses and phone numbers on their computers or used   ??   as diaries. Only three people said they were learning to make computer programmes and nobody looked up databases(數(shù)據(jù)庫). None of them used computers for any  ??   use.

The results show that computer use is quite high among 14～18 year old. They also show quite clearly that computers  ??   by most young people as little more than game machines. The only other great uses are for word-processing and  ??  address lists. Though computers are common in the homes of young people, they have not yet become useful in everyday life.

【解析】

試題分析：這篇短文主要介紹了家庭電腦的使用人群主要是14-18歲的青少年，敘述了他們每周使用電腦的時間以及使用電腦的不同目的。

1.考查動詞及語境的理解。上文提到Look at the diagram（看圖表），聯(lián)系下文The results show that ---（結(jié)果顯示---）可知是從圖表顯示來說明問題的。故選A。

2.考查名詞及語境的理解。結(jié)合下文The usual time spent on a computer in a week was about twelve hours, ---（每周他們花在電腦上的通常時間大約12小時，---）可知此處問的是他們每周花多少時間在電腦上。故選C。.

3.考查疑問代詞及語境的理解。What---for---(作什么用），這句話是說：我們最感興趣的是他們使用電腦作什么用。故選A。

4.考查形容詞及語境的理解。聯(lián)系上下文，前句和后句形成比較。下文and the lowest user only five hours.（最低使用者只花5小時），可知上文最高使用者大約32小時。故選D。

5.考查動詞不定式及語境的理解。根據(jù)下文，只有少數(shù)孩子用電腦做諸如文字處理、幫助學(xué)習(xí)、電腦編程之類的事情，所有的孩子通常使用電腦來玩游戲。故選C。動詞不定式作目的狀語。

6.考查介詞短語及語境的理解。at times ：有時，as usual ：往常  ， in the end ：結(jié)果 ， all the time：一直、總是。聯(lián)系上下文可知，14個孩子告訴我們說他們有時做一些文字處理。故選A。

7.考查代及語境的理解。根據(jù)上文 they kept addresses and phone numbers on their computers（他們在電腦上記錄地址和電話號碼），此處computers用復(fù)數(shù)形式，可知以下指代的是復(fù)數(shù)，且作use的賓語，故用賓格them。所以選B。

8.考查不定代詞及語境的理解。another：另一、又一 ，other ：別的、其他的 ，the other ：（兩者中的）另一，others：其他的（人或物）。結(jié)合語境可知，沒有人用電腦作其他用法。故選B。.

9.考查被動語態(tài)及語境的理解。see---as---：看作---。根據(jù)語境，電腦被年輕人看作是比游戲機大一點的機器。故應(yīng)用被動語態(tài)。所以選A。

10.考查動詞搭配及語境的理解。根據(jù)上文 they kept addresses and phone numbers （他們記錄地址和電話號碼），可知，keep:保存、記錄。故選D。

考點：故事類短文。
