The true loveCIn a computer age，a broadband （宽带）Internet connection is very popular nowWhether cable(电缆) or mobile broadband，todays connections are many times faster than those in the early days. Videos play smoothly, complex websites load quickly，and files download much faster than ten years agoAnd the files are much bigger tooTheres a hidden problem：You have to live near enough to a major city to get broadband Internet. If you dont，its slow dial-up access for you. And for those living really far out，there may be no Internet access at a11Technology experts often talk about the “last mile” problem， which refers to the difficulty of bringing Internet access to remote （遥远的）locationsIn cities and suburbs(郊区)，its relatively easy to provide access for everyoneIt is much more difficult to deliver access to those living far from cities，especially in developing countriesInternet service providersfor their part，have been reluctant（不情愿的） to provide access to sparsely(稀疏地)populated areasThe handful of Internet users they would reach wouldnt cover the expense.But every year, technological advancements allow of more and more Internet users. Most broadband connections today run over existing cable TV and telephone lines although these technologies arent available everywhereSome companies have delivered the Internet over standard power lines. Advancements in cheaper more efficient fiber optics cables(光纤电缆)promise to bring extremely fast Internet connections to more usersStillthe“last mile”problem remains hard to deal withThere will always be somewhere that doesnt have an affordable broadband connectionBut someday that might not matterIf the rapid progress in cell phone technology is any indication（迹象），it may not be too long before an Internet connection simply follows you wherever you go.9.

The broadband connections getting fasterC. More and more Internet connectionsD. More and more Internet users12. The best title for this passage may be_AInternet Connections Need Improving BInternet Connection Problems C. Progress in Internet Connections DInternet Connections TodayDA good deal of fascinating research has been done about the reading patterns of young people，and it is surprising to discover at what an early age children start expressing preferences for particular kind of books. A recent report，which examined in detail the reading habits of primary-school children, showed that even seven-year-old boys and girls have clear views about what they want to read. Girls，in general，read more，and far more girls than boys preferred reading stories. Boys were showing a taste for the more instant appeal of picture stories，or else books about their hobbiesThese tastes continue unchanged until the children are teenagers. Apparently girls read more in general，but more fiction(小说) in particular .You could say that there are more opportunities for girls to read fiction：magazines encourage the fiction habit in girls in their early teens，and by their late teens they have probably moved on to the adult womens magazinesTeenage boys tend to buy magazines about their hobbies：motorcycles，heavy transport and so onAdult reading tastes are also the subject of researchAgain the number of women who read for pleasure is considerably higher than the number of men. It seems that the majority of women still want love storiesThere has also been some analysis of what men actually read. Apparently only 38 percent of men read anything，but 50 percent of what they read is fiction in the form of action-packed(内容丰富有趣的)stories of space or gunmen13. What has the recent research into childrens reading show?A. Children begin to read very fast at an early ageB. Children examine in detail what they read at schoolC. Children form their reading tastes by the time they are sevenDChildren can read clearly in primary schoo114. If we have a close look at the reading habits of boys and girls well find that_A. girls are more interested in action-packed stories than boysB .girls are more interested in fiction than boysC .boys read much more than girlsDboys have no interest in fiction15 .It can be inferred from the passage that_Apeople usually do not change their reading tastes when they grow upBboys change their reading tastes more often than girlsCboys and girls form their reading habits by reading magazinesD. people have no definite(确切的)reading tastes第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)Organizing Your TimeYou can set a budget（预算） for your time just as you can set a budget for your money. Since youre trying to reduce worry rather than increase it，go into this process with a focus on maximizing(使最大化)your personal time，rather than cramming(塞满) as much as you can into each day. Set a sleep schedule. 16 Give yourself a one-hour target window for bedtime in the evening，and set a strict time to get up in the morningBe sure that the space between your bedtime and the start of your day gives you roughly an hour more than the amount of sleep you actually need17Take care of tasks at the same time every day.
