Question

A Way of Life for Students

  The Internet is a way of life for US college students, with research showing them to be one of the most connected groups.

  A recent study by Harris Interactive and 360 Youth found that 93 percent of American college students visit the Internet, and this market is expected to grow from 15.2 million in 2003 to 16.4 million in 2007. That is slow but could be the result of the already high number of college Internet users.

  About 88 percent of American college students own a computer, and more than half have broadband (宽带) connections. Furthermore, 67 percent own cell phones and 36 percent use their mobile devices to visit the Internet. Study findings are that 42 percent go online mainly to communicate socially, and 72 percent of college students check emails at least once a day, with 66 percent using at least two email addresses.

The most popular online social activity is for warding messages to friends or family, with 37 percent of college students saying they do so. The study also looked beyond the Internet surfing(冲浪) habits and into the buying habits of this group, and found them responsible for more than US $210 billion in sales last year alone.

College students have learned how to spend their money, with 93 percent saying low prices were important when shopping.

The study also showed that 65 percent make loan(贷款) payments; 41 percent of freshmen have a credit card; and 79 percent of seniors have a credit card. A significant number of charges on these credit cards are likely to be for entertainment and leisure expenses.

Answer 1

答案：1B2C3D4A
解析：

1、主旨判断题。从文中对美国大学生活的描述来看，文中列举了很多数据并告诉我们，他们可在网上进行不少活动，网络成了其生活中不可缺少的一部分。 2、细节判断题。第三段说美国大学生88%有电脑，一半お以上的宽带接口，67%有手机，36%用手机上网等，从中可知C项是大学生活的一个特点，而其他三项明显不对。 3、推理判断题。文中没有提到写信、打电话、发手机短信等交际方式，全文围绕电脑、网络、电子邮件进行描述。 4、细节判断题。文中提到可以在网上聊天、购物，至于A与C项，文中提到的“社会交往、传递信息”与C项有一定关联，因此选A项，A项没有提到。
