第三部分：阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分,满分40分)

阅读下列短文,从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

A[来源:Zxxk.Com]

Personal computers and the Internet give people new choices about how to spend their time. Some may use this fre
edom to share less time with certain friends or family members, but new technology will
also let them stay in closer touch with those they care most about. I know this from personal experience.

E-mail makes it easier to work at home, which is where I now spend most weekends and evenings. My working hours aren’t necessarily much shorter than they once were but I spend fewer of them at the office. This lets me share more time with my younger daughter than I might have if she
’d been born before electronic mail became such a practical tool.

The Internet also makes it easy to share thoughts with a group of friends. Say you do something fun, see a great movie perhaps, and there are four or five friends who might want to hear about it. If you call each one, you may be tired of telling the story.

With e-mail, you just write one note about your experience, at your convenience, and address it to all the friends you
think who might be interested. They can read your message when they have time, and read only as much as they want to. They can reply at their convenience, and you can read what they have to say at your convenience.[来源:Z#xx#k.Com]

E-mail is also an inexpensive way to stay in close touch with people who live far away. More than a few parents use e-mail to keep in touch, even daily touch, with their children off at college.

We just have to keep in mind that computers and the Internet offer another way of staying in touch. They don’t take the place of any of the old ways.

52. The use of e-mail has made it possible for the writer to ________.

A. spend less time working B. have more free time with his child

C. work at home on weekends D. work at a speed comfortable to him

53. According to the writer, e-mail has an obvious advantage over the telephone because the former helps one ________.

A. reach a group of people at one time conveniently

B. keep one’s communication as personal as possible

C. pass on much more information than the latter[来源:学。科。网Z。X。X。K]

D. get in touch with one’s friends faster than the latter.

54. The best title for
this passage is _________.

A. Computer: new technological advances
