问题         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 towards computerization.
        The poll finds 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 emails. 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 finds 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".
We call learn from the passage that_________.

选项 A、all the American children have used the latest technology in schools
B、computers and the Internet are very popular with Americans
C、Americans tend to place more importance on the Internet usage than computers
D、the public in America does not hate the Internet problems at all

答案B

解析 根据第一段和最后一段第一句可知,电脑和因特网使美国人的生活变得更加美好,各个收入群体、各个地区、种族和大多数年龄群体的人们都热爱电脑和因特网。由此可推知,电脑和因特网很受美国人的欢迎,所以B项正确。根据第二段最后一句“…most have made use of up-to-date technology in their schools.”可知,并非所有的美国孩子都在学校使用了最新的科技,因此A项不正确。根据最后一段最后一句“…computers are part of everyday life for most Americans,and the Internet is close behind.”可推知,对美国人来说,电脑的重要性是第一位,然后是因特网,所以C项不正确。根据第二段第一句“…but in general people are not especially concerned about issues such as information overload or the never-ending flow of phone call,faxes and emails. ”可知,公众不是特别关心信息膨胀或源源不断的电话、传真、电子邮件等问题,但并未提及他们一点儿也不讨厌网络问题,因此D项说法不正确。故选B。
