题目内容

Congratulations! You are the Time magazine ‘Person of the Year’.

The annual honor for 2006 went to anyone that uses or creates content on the Internet. The magazine designed special cover — a white keyboard with a mirror for a computer screen where buyers can see their reflection- for the issue, reflecting the importance of user-generated（使用者自创） Internet content as a driving force in the modem world.

User-generated content on websites such as YouTube has proved the latest twist（转折） in the Internet revolution. YouTube has attracted millions of users and earned its founders $ US1.65 billion when it was bought by Google earlier this year.

Normally, the magazine describes its person of the year not necessarily as an honor, but as ‘the person or persons who most affected the news and our lives, for good or for ill, and represented what was important about the year’. Mr. Stengel said in an interview that to select the ‘Person of the Year’ is to look for someone who’s a symbol.

The magazine did cite（提名） 26 ‘People Who Mattered,’ from Chinese President Hu Jintao to a group of three persons that included: U.S. President Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney and former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfield.

It was not the first time that the magazine went away from naming an actual person for its ‘Person of the Year’. In 1966, the 25-and-under generation was cited; in 1975, American women were named; and in 1982, the computer was chosen.

In 2005, the winners were Bill and Melinda Gates and rock star Bono, who were cited for their charitable（慈善的） work aimed at reducing global poverty and improving world health.

1．‘You’, the Time magazine ‘Person of the Year 2006’, refers to ___________.

A．anyone who reads this magazine B．anyone who surfs the Internet

C．anyone who knows the result of the selection

D．anyone who reads the passage

2．The fashionable character of the Internet revolution is __________.

A．to search information on the Internet B．to use the Internet to make money

C．to be cited for ‘Person of the Year’ D．to create content onto the Internet

3．The usual qualification of ‘Person of the Year’ is that a person or persons must __________.

A．do the most good to the world in the year

B．not live up to the expectation of the world

C．really affect the world the most in the year

D．help the world move ahead in the year

4．Which of the following is true?

A．U.S. President Bush was cited for ‘Person of the Year 2006’.

B．Chinese President Hu Jintao was cited for ‘Person of the Year 2006’.

C．‘Person of the Year’ must be a person or persons.

D．A rock star is unlikely to be cited for the ‘Person of the Year’.

About 90 percent of Chinese believe the polarization(分化) between the rich and poor is “serious” in China, according to a survey conducted by China Youth Daily. And more than 80 percent of the respondents(对象) surveyed said something must be done to narrow the expanding gap between the rich and poor, while 14.1 percent said it was necessary.

The polarization has aroused wide concern among the public in recent years. The State Development and Reform Commission(国家发改委) said the Gini Coefficient had reached 0.47 for China, up from o.29 two decades ago. Usually, a country with a number above 0.4 is warned to pay attention to the income inequality problem.

To find out the people’s view, the survey covered 10,250 respondents, between the ages of 20 and 30 with a college education and a monthly salary between 1,000 and 3,000 yuan. Surprisingly, most disagreed with the view of experts who claim the urban-rural difference is causing the widening gap. More than 70 percent of the respondents believed that “ the group of special interests” is the prime reason for the polarization, followed by “people in power” 68 percent, and “bosses” 50 percent.

Another unexpected finding almost all agreed that a good educational background and knowledge were not the decisive factors in gaining wealth. About 95 percent said rich people are not necessarily those who are able to speak English or have a college education.

Today in China, rich people , accounting for 10 percent of the population, control 45 percent of the total social fortune, and poor people, also 10 percent of the population, only control 1.5 percent, according to an investigation published by the National Bureau of Statistics last June.

1. It can be inferred that the Gini Coefficient ( in paragraph 2) would probably be ________.

A. the unit used in advanced mathematics

B. the degree of a country’s development

C. the level of the citizen’s living standard

D. a measure of income inequality

2. Experts hold the view that the main reason for the polarization is ________.

A. the urban-rural difference

B. the group of special interests

C. the people in power

D. the bosses

3. Which of the following can show the correct proportion of the social fortune among population?

4. What’s the best title of the passage?

A. Close the Gap between the Rich and Poor

B. Surveys conducted by Chins Youth Daily

C. Higher education, Higher pay

D. Rich-Poor Divide Serious, Study Finds
