三、 阅读理解
　　阅读下面的短文，从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳答案填空或答题，错选、多选或未选均无分
Passage 1
　　Computer people talk a lot about the need for other people to become “computer-literate”. But not all experts agree that this is a good idea.
　　One pioneer, in particular, who disagrees is David Tebbutt, the founder of Computertown UK. Although many people see this as a successful attempt to bring people closer to the computer, David does not see it that way. He says that Computertown UK was formed for just the opposite reason, to bring computers to people and make them “people-literate”.
　　David Tebbutt thinks Computertowns are most successful when tied to a computer club but he insists there is an important difference between the two. The clubs are for people who have some computer knowledge already. This frightens away non-experts, who are happier going to Computertowns where there are computers for them to experiment on, with experts to encourage them and answer any questions they have. They are not told what to do. The computer experts have to learn not to tell people about computers, but have to be able to answer all questions people ask. People don’t have to learn computer terms, but the experts have to explain in plain language. The computers are becoming “people-literate”.
　　31．David Tebbutt’s idea on the relationship between people and computer is that ___________.
　　A．there should be more computer clubs for experts
　　B．people should work harder to master computer use
　　C．computer learning should be made easier
　　D．computers should be made cheaper so that people can afford them
　　32．What does “computer-literate” mean in this passage?
　　A．It means being able to afford a computer.
　　B．It means being able to write computer programs.
　　C．It means working with the computer and finding out its value.
　　D．It means understanding the computer and knowing how to use it.
　　33．David Tebbutt started Computertown UK with the purpose of ___________.
　　A．making better use of computer experts 　　B．improving computer programs
　　C．increasing computer sales D．popularizing computers

Passage 2
　　Shopping-bag ladies don’t beg publicly, but they do not refuse what is offered. Once a shoppingbag lady appears where you live, it is as hard to pass her by without giving her some money as it is to pay no attention to the collection box in church. And although you may not like it, if she chooses your doorway as her place to sleep in the night, it is as morally hard to turn her away as it is to do with a lost dog.
　　Most shopping-bag ladies seem to be between the ages of 40 and 65. They wear layers of clothes even in summer time, with newspaper filled between the layers as something against bad weather.
　　No one knows how many shopping-bag ladies there are in New York. The number is going up. Some persons and researchers spend a great deal of time taking care of or observing shopping-bag ladies and doing what they can to better the life of lady hermits (隐士) who’re down.
　　34. Who are shopping-bag ladies?
　　A. They are lady beggars. 　　B. They are ladies who sell shopping-bags.
　　C. They are ladies who make shopping-bags. D. They are ladies who go hungry.
　　35. They fill newspapers between the layers of their clothes because ___________.
　　A. they are so poor 　　B. they have no place to put them
　　C. they want to hide them D. they have to use them to keep the cold out
　　36. Which of the following statements is not true?
　　A. There are more and more shopping-bag ladies in the United States.
　　B. Shopping-bag ladies appear only in New York.
　　C. Some people are helping shopping-bag ladies.
　　D. Some people are engaged in their research on these shopping-bag ladies.

Passage 3
　　Art, said Picasso, is a lie that makes us realize the truth. So is a map. We do not usually associate the precise work of the map worker with a fanciful object of art. Yet a map has many qualities that a painting or a poem has. It is truth realized in a symbolic way, holding meanings it does not express on the surface. And like work of art, it requires imaginative reading.
　　Thus, map and reality are not, and cannot be, identical. No aspect of map use is so obvious yet so often overlooked. Most map reading mistakes occur because the user forgets this vital fact and expects a one-to-one correspondence between map and reality. A map, like a painting, is just one special version of reality. To understand a painting, you must have some idea of the medium which was used by the artist.
　　You wouldn’t expect a water color to look anything like an oil painting or a charcoal （木炭）drawing, even if the subject matter of all three were identical. In the same way, the techniques used to create maps will greatly influence the final representation. As a map reader, you should always be aware of the invisible hand of the map maker. Never use a map without asking yourself how it has been biased by the methods used to make it.
　　If the entire map making process operates at its full potential, communication takes place between the map maker and the user. The map maker translates reality into the clearest possible picture under the circumstances, and the map reader converts this picture back into an impression of the environment. For such communication to take place, the map reader as the map maker must know something about how maps are created.
　　37. Map resembles art because ___________.
　　A. they are both absolute lies B. they are both precise as well as fanciful
　　C. they must be read with imagination　　D. they both express meanings in a superficial way
　　38. Why do most map reading mistakes occur?
　　A. Because the map is not made according to reality.
　　B. Because there are obvious differences between the map and reality.
　　C. Because the user forgets the one-to-one correspondence between the map and reality.
　　D. Because the user overlooks the gap between the map and reality.
　　39. “... the invisible hand of the map maker” (in Paragraph 3) refers to ___________.
　　A. the techniques used to create maps 　　B. the subject matter of the map
　　C. the symbols used in the map 　　D. the final representation of the map
　　40. The last paragraph describes mainly ___________.
　　A. how maps are created
　　B. what the communication between the map maker and the reader is
　　C. how the map maker translates reality into a picture
　　D. how the reader converts the picture back into reality
