A new poll shows that people believe that computers and the Internet have made life better for Americans, but people also see some dangers in the trend toward computerization.
The poll found that the public favors some government protection from cyber-problems, but in general people are not especially concerned about issues such as information overload or the never-ending flow of phone calls, faxes and e-mails. A separate survey of children aged 10 to 17 shows that they have a more positive attitude to computers than adults do, and most have made use of up-to-date technology in their schools.
The survey found that
enthusiasm
for computers and the Internet is found in all income groups, all regions of the country, all races, and most age groups. However, people over 60 and those towards the lower end of the income rank tend to show lower rates of computer ownership and Internet usage. The survey shows that "some kind of gap has been crossed: computers are part of everyday life for most Americans, and the Internet is close behind".
The word "enthusiasm" (Para. 3) is closest in meaning to______.
选项
A、great love
B、great hatred
C、problem
D、advantage
答案
A
解析
根据第三段第一、二句“The survey found that enthusiasm for computers and the Internet is found in all income groups…However,people over 60 and those towards the lower end of the income rank tend to show lower rates of computer ownership and Internet usage.”可知,60岁以上的老人和那些收入较低的人群的电脑持有率和因特网使用频率都较低。句中的However表转折,前后两句之间表达的意思相对立。由此可推知,第一句表达了人们对电脑和因特网的热爱,所以enthusiasm意为“热情,热忱”。great love:很喜欢;great hatred:很厌恶;problem:问题;advantage:优势。四个选项中A项与其意思最接近。故选A。
