第三部分 阅读篇

“They can work with it at home, in a fast-food restaurant or under the trees-anywhere at all "以及第三
段第一句中的“...but the laptop users can work and study in any of the places."都可得出结论：手提电
脑可在任何地方给使用者提供便利。
2. D细节理解题。
本题的关键词the main purpose, 定位到第2段的第1句：Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop

computer program that allows students to do schoolwork anywhere they want. 后半句的动词不定式表
示目的，故选D。
3. C细节理解题。

由第二段的第一句知C项正确。由第三段第一句知A项错误；由第二段知让学生使用手提电脑是
Westlake College的一个计划，第三段第一句表明目前此校大多数学生使用电脑，但其中只有一部
分使用手提电脑故B项错误；D项太绝对，故排除。
4. C句意猜测题。

题干中原句理解为：为学生打开一扇通往世界的窗子，意味着让学生更多地了解世界。与C选项
含义：为他们提供来自世界各地的信息，最符合，故选C。
5. D推理判断题。
由第二段第二句“Within five years, each of the 1500 students at the college will get a laptop." 再结合

第2段第三句后提到的手提电脑的种种优势，可推知D项：西湖学院的学生将主要使用笔记本电
脑。故选D。
长难句分析：
However, the most important part of the laptop computer program is that students will be able to use
computers without going to computer labs.

句意：然而，这个手提电脑计划里最重要的一部分是学生们将能够在不去计算机实验室的情况下
使用计算机。
这是一个that引导的表语从句。当句子的谓语动词是系动词的时候，后面接的从句就是表语从

句。 be able to do 意为“能够做...”

（四）议论文

【真题演练1】 (2002年专升本)

Why is it that the most connected we get, the more disconnected we felt? Every advance in
communications technology is a setback (挫折) to the intimacy of human interaction. With email and
instant messaging over the Internet, we can now communicate without seeing or talking to one another.
With voice mail, you can conduct entire conversations without ever reading anyone. If my mother has a

question, I just leave the answer on her machine.
As almost every contact between human beings gets automated (自动的), the more people feel
they are strangers to each other. You can’t even call a person to get the phone number of another person
anywhere. Telephone assistance is almost always fully automated.

Buying gasoline at the station? Why say good morning to the attendant when you can pay with your
