Rossmann analyzed data from a longitudinal study (34) _____ followed 84 children across four periods in their lives-in
preschool, around ages 10 and 15, and in their mid-20s. She found that young adults who began chores at ages 3

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the following questions.
THE DIGITAL DIVIDE
Information technology is influencing the way many of us live and work today. We use the Internet to look
and apply for jobs, shop, conduct research, make airline reservations, and explore areas of interest. We use e-mail
and the Internet to communicate instantaneously with friends and business associates around the world. Computers
are commonplace in homes and the workplace.
Although the number of Internet users is growing exponentially each year, most of the world’s
population does not have access to computers or the Internet. Only 6 percent of the population in developing
countries are connected to telephones. Although more than 94 percent of U.S. households have a telephone, only 42
percent have personal computers at home and 26 percent have Internet access. The lack of what most of us would
consider a basic communications necessity -the telephone -does not occur just in developing nations. On some
Native American reservations only 60 percent of the residents have a telephone. The move to wireless connections
may eliminate the need for telephone lines, but it does not remove the barrier to equipment costs.
Who has Internet access? Fifty percent of the children in urban households with an income over
$75,000 have Internet access, compared with 2 percent of the children in low-income, rural households. Nearly half of
college-educated people have Internet access, compared to 6 percent of those with only some high school education.
Forty percent of households with two parents have access; 15 percent of female, single-parent households do. Thirty
percent of white households, 11 percent of black households, and 13 percent of Hispanic households have access.
Teens and children are the two fastest-growing segments of Internet users. The digital divide between the populations
who have access to the Internet and information technology tools is based on income, race, education, household
type, and geographic location. Only 16 percent of the rural poor, rural and central city minorities, young householders,
and single parent female households are connected.
Another problem that exacerbates these disparities is that African Americans, Hispanics, and Native
Americans hold few of the jobs in information technology. Women hold about 20 percent of these jobs and are
receiving fewer than 30 percent of the computer science degrees. The result is that women and members of the most
oppressed ethnic groups are not eligible for the jobs with the highest salaries at graduation. Baccalaureate candidates
with degrees in computer science were offered the highest salaries of all new college graduates in 1998 at $44,949.
Do similar disparities exist in schools? More than 90 percent of all schools in the country are wired with at least one
Internet connection. The number of classrooms with Internet connections differs by the income level of students.
Using the percentage of students who are eligible for free lunches at a school to determine income level, we see that

Hotline: 0976882626

nearly twice as many of the schools with more affluent students have wired classrooms as those with high
concentrations of low-income students.
Access to computers and the Internet will be important in reducing disparities between groups. It will require
greater equality across diverse groups whose members develop knowledge and skills in computer and information
technologies. If computers and the Internet are to be used to promote equality, they will have to become accessible to
populations that cannot currently afford the equipment which needs to be updated every three years or so. However,
access alone is not enough. Students will have to be interacting with the technology in authentic settings. As
technology becomes a tool for learning in almost all courses taken by students, it will be seen as a means to an end
rather than an end in itself. If it is used in culturally relevant ways, all students can benefit from its power.

Question 36: Why does the author mention the telephone in paragraph 2?
A. To contrast the absence of telephone usage with that of Internet usage
B. To describe the development of communications from telephone to Internet
C. To demonstrate that even technology like the telephone is not available to all
D. To argue that basic telephone service is a first step to using the Internet
Question 37: Which of the sentences below best expresses the information in the statement “Although the number
.................. or the Internet.” in the paragraph 2?
A. The number of computers that can make the Internet available to most of the people in the world is not increasing
fast enough.
B. The Internet is available to most of the people in the world, even though they don't have their own computer
terminals.
C. Most of the people in the world use the Internet now because the number of computers has been increasing every
year.
D. The number of people who use computers and the Internet is increasing every year, but most people in the world
still do not have connections.
Question 38: Based on information in paragraph 3, which of the following best explains the term "digital divide?"
A. The disparity in the opportunity to use the Internet

A. To argue for more Internet connections at all levels of society

D. To explain why many people have Internet connections now

technology?

B. They prefer training for jobs with higher salaries.
C. They are not admitted to the degree programs.
D. They do not possess the educational qualifications.
Question 41: The word “concentrations'' in the passage is closest in meaning to

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the following questions.
All over the country, young people are entering a world of homelessness and poverty, according to a recent
report by the housing group, Shelter.
Nearly 150,000 young people aged between sixteen and twenty-five will become homeless this year, says
Shelter. Some of the young homeless may sleep out in the open in such places as the “cardboard city” in London,
where people of all ages sleep in the open air in their only home - cardboard boxes. Others may find accommodation
in shelters run by voluntary organizations or get a place in a hostel, which gives them board up to ten weeks.

But who are these people? Those who are seeking a roof over their heads are mostly not runaways but
“throwaways” — people who have been thrown out of their homes or forced to leave because of parental divorce, an
unsympathetic stepparent or one of many other reasons.
Take the case of one six teen-year-old schoolgirl, Alice. She did not come from a poor home and had just
passed her exams with good results. The Shelter team met her in a hostel where she was doing her physics
homework. Her parents had thrown her out of her home for no other reason that she wanted to do Science Advanced
Level Exams - which her parents refused her permission do, saying that studying sciences was unladylike!
Shelter says that the government’s laws do nothing to help these youngsters. Rising rents, the shortage of
cheap housing and the cut in benefits for young people under the age of twenty-five are causing a national problem,
according to Shelter. The recent changes in the benefit laws mean that someone aged between sixteen and
twenty-five gets less than older people and they can only claim state help if they prove that they left home for a good
reason.
Shelter believes that because of the major cuts in benefits to young people, more and more are being forced
to sleep on the streets. Shelter also points out that if you are homeless, you can’t get a job because employers will not
hire someone without a permanent address; and if you can’t get a job, you are homeless because you don’t have any
money to pay for accommodation. It’s an impossible situation.

A. circumstances make it impossible for them to live at home
B. they do not want to live with a divorced parent
C. they have run away from home
D. they have thrown away any chances of living at home by behaving badly
Question 46: Why was Alice turned out of her home?
A. Her parents didn’t agree with what she wanted to do.
B. She didn’t want to study for her Advanced Level Exams.
C. She had not obtained high marks in her exams.
D. She refused to do her homework in the evening.
Question 47: According to the passage, “benefits” are .
