四、閱讀測驗：
Information technology is influencing the way many of us live and work today. We use the Internet to look and apply for jobs, shop,
conduct research, make airline reservations, and explore areas of interest. We use e-mail and the Internet to communicate instantaneously
with friends and business associates around the world. Computers are commonplace in homes and the workplace.
Although the number of Internet users is growing exponentially each year, most of the world’s population does not have access to
computers or the Internet. Only 6 percent of the population in developing countries are connected to telephones. Although more than 94
percent of U.S. households have a telephone, only 42 percent have personal computers at home and 26 percent have Internet access. The
lack of what most of us would consider a basic communication necessity – the telephone – does not occur just in developing nations. On
some Native American reservations, only 60 percent of the residents have a telephone. The move to wireless connections may eliminate
the need for telephone lines, but it does not remove the barrier to equipment costs.
【題組】35. Which of the following best explains the passage above?
(A) The number of Internet users in developing nations increases.
(B) The difference in opportunity to make use of technology.
(C) Differences in socioeconomic levels among Internet users.
(D) Classifications of the population who use computers and the Internet.
