　　"But the greatest potential for public participation is still in the future ,"Steven Case ,Chairman of America On-line ,
told a recent meeting on Journalism and the Internet sponsored by the Freedom Forum (讨论会).However , some other experts of
ten say the new technology of computers is changing the face of journalism ,giving reporters access to more information and
their readers a chance to ask questions and turn to different sources .
　　"You don't have to buy a newspaper and be confined to the four corners of that paper any more ",Sam Meddis , on-line
technology editor at USA Today , observed about the variety of information available to computer users .
　　But the experts noted the easy access to the Internet also means anyone can post information for others to see . 'Anyone
can say anything they want ,whether it's right or wrong ,"said Case , Readers have to determine for themselves who to trust .
"In a world of almost infinite voices .respected journalists and respected brand names will probably become more important ,
not less, "Case said .

Questions 29 to 32 are based on the following passage :
　　There is a range of activities which require movements of about one to four or five miles . These might be leisure activities ,
such as moving from home to swimming pool , tennis club ,the theater or other cultural centers ,or to a secondary or more
advanced school ;or they might be movements associated with work and shopping in the central areas of cities .The use of
cars capable of carrying five people at 80 mph for satisfying these needs is wasteful of apace and most productive of [hjmPageNext]
disturbance to other road users .
　　The use of the bicycle ,or some more modern derivative of it ,is probably worth more consideration than has recently been
given to it .The bicycle itself is a remarkably efficient and simple device for using human muscular energy for
transportation .In pure energy terms ,it is four to five times as efficient as walking , even though human walking itself
is twice as efficient as the movement of effective animals such as dogs of gulls .It is still widely used , not only in
some developing countries where bicycles are major means of people and goods , but in a few richer towns such as Amsterdam
in Holland and Cambridge in England .
　　It usually gives inadequate protection from the weather ,is not very suitable for carrying goods ,and demands considerable
muscular work to make progress against wind or uphill .It also offers its rider no protection against collisions with other
vehicles .All these difficulties could ,however ,be greatly eliminated ,if not removed ,with relatively small changes in
design .The whole machine could be enclosed in a plastic bubble which would provide some protection in case of accidents .
It would be easy to add a small petrol or electric motor .A wide variety of designs would be possible .As in rowing , we
night employ the power of the arms or the general body musculature ,as well as those of the legs ; more muscular exercise
would be good for the health of many people in cities ,and a wide use of bicycle like muscle-powered vehicles would be a
useful way to ensure this .It could also provide ample opportunities for showing off by the young and vigorous .
29.The main idea of the first paragraph is that the car _____.
A.can satisfy the demand for speed
B.causes waste of space
C.produces disturbance to other road users
D.is far from perfect for short range movements
30.More attention should be given to the bicycle as a means of transport because it is ______.
A. a very efficient and simple device
B. much cheaper than a car
C. widely used in Amsterdam and Cambridge
D. still used by rich people
31. Enclosing the bicycle in a plastic bubble would _______.
A.make it easier to use .
B.save muscular energy .
C.provide protection from the weather.
D. prevent it from colliding with other vehicles.
32. Which of these is untrue for the present bicycle?
A.It is far more efficient than the movement of animals .
B.It offers its rider no protection .
C.It is not very suitable for carrying goods .
D.It can hardly be improved on .

Questions 33to 36 are based on the following passage :
　　Telecommuting ---substituting the computer for the trip to the job ---- has been hailed as a solution to all kinds of
problems related to office work .For workers it promises freedom from the office , less time wasted in traffic ,and help
with child-care conflicts . For management , telecommuting helps keep high performers on board , minimizes lateness and
absenteeism by eliminating commuters (经常乘火车往返者), allows periods of solitude (独处)for high -concentration tasks ,
and provides scheduling flexibility .In some areas , such as Southern California and Seattle , Washington , local
governments are encouraging companies to start telecommuting programs in order to reduce rush-hour traffic and improve air
quality .
　　But these benefits do not come easily . Making a telecommuting program work requires careful planning and an understanding
of the differences between telecommuting realities and popular images . Many workers are seduced by rosy illusions of life
as a telecommuter .A computer programmer form New York City moves to the quiet Adirondack Mountains and stays in contact
with her office via computer .A manager comes in to his office three days a week and works at home the other two . An
accountant stays home to care for her sick child ; she hooks up her telephone modem connections and does office work between
calls to the doctor .
　　These are powerful images , but they are a limited reflection of reality . Telecommuting workers soon learn that it is
almost impossible to concentrate on work and care for a young child at the same time .Before a certain age , young children
cannot recognize , much less respect , the necessary boundaries between work and family .Additional child support is
necessary if the parent is to get any work done .
Management , too , must separate the myth from the reality . Although the media has paid a great deal of attention to
telecommuting , in most cases it is the employee' s situation , not the availability of technology , that precipitates
(加速…来临) a telecommuting arrangement .

　　That is partly why , despite the widespread press coverage ,the number of companies with work-at-home programs of policy
guidelines remains small .
33.What is the main subject of the passage ?
A.Business management policies .
B. Driving to work .
C.Extending the workplace by means of computers .
D.Computers for child-care purposes .
34. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a problem for employers that is potentially
solved by telecommuting ?
A.Employees' lateness for work .
B.Employees' absence from work
C.Employees' need for time alone to work intensively
D.Employees' conflicts with second jobs .
35.Which of the following does the author mention as a possible disadvantage of telecommuting ?
A.Small children cannot understand the boundaries of work and play .
B.Computer technology is never advanced enough to accommodate the needs of every situation .
C.Electrical malfunctions can destroy a project
D.The worker often does not have all the needed resources a home
