【题目】The Entropia Universe

The Entropia Universe is a virtual world on the Internet, which seems very like our real life．It is set in a distant future and based on a planet called Calypso．Entropia was the brainchild of a group of Swedish computer lovers who decided to see if they could create a three dimensional (维度的) virtual world that could be placed on the Internet．They did manage after they received the financial backing they needed.

The game can be played for free, but nearly all in-game activities require personal resources that you have available to use．Although there are various activities to keep you busy on Calypso, what most people do first is to find themselves a profession, such as hunting the fierce animals on Calypso, mining the precious minerals and making tools．Then they can think about buying their virtual house or paying a visit to a virtual nightclub or doing any of the other activities that make life bearable．

Entropia has its very own economy (经济) and its own currency, the PED (Project Entropia Dollars)．Players move real world money into PED which they then use to pay for their life on Calypso．However, the virtual things inside Entropia do have a real value in the outside world, and careful business deals mean that players can actually make real money there．PED can be changed into dollars any time at a rate of 10PED to 1 US$．

What’s so impressive about The Entropia Universe is the number of players; currently more than 600,000 representing over 220 countries from planet Earth．A number of players insist that it’s a good way to make money．However, the reality of Entropia’s economic system is that most people end up paying more than they earn and it’s not uncommon to find players who are paying up to $200 a month into their PED account．This might not be the most economical way of spending one’s free time．However, some people say that for them the fact that they can escape the realities of the earthbound life and become a different person with a completely different life for a few hours every week is worth the use of money, even if they don’t get any interest rates on it．

【1】What can we learn about The Entropia Universe?

A．It costs nothing to join.

B．It focuses on business plans.

C．It is designed for computer lovers.

D．It presents what life is like on other planets.

【2】What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?

A．What people do on Calypso.

B．When people buy houses there.

C．How people make life bearable.

D．Why people often find a job first.

【3】According to the author, playing on The Entropia Universe ________.

A．may be very annoying

B．can be quite expensive

C．is a cheap way to kill time

D．is a good way to earn money

【4】What can be inferred about The Entropia Universe?

试题分析：本文介绍了一款免费的网络游戏，这个游戏不需要任何费用，但是你需要购买一些资源来装备自己，这样就需要花钱，而且花的钱还不少。

【2】主旨大意题。根据文章中第二段中所写的内容，可知第二段主要是介绍人们是如何玩这个游戏，在这个游戏中人们是如何交易的，故选A。
