[23]South Africa is the richest country in Africa: it is also one of the most modern and technologically advanced. It has some of the best rail, road and communication systems in Africa. Yet more than two-thirds of South African adults have never used the Internet.
The South African Network Society recently reported that only 34% of South African adults use the Internet. That is about 12 million people.
Three-quarters of the country’s Internet users live in cities. Most of them use cell phones to get on the Internet. The rest go to Internet cafes or use the Internet at school or work.
Indra de Lanerolle is with the South African Network Society. He says there are many reasons why so few South Africans use the Internet. Cost is one of them.
"We do have expensive costs and cost is a big limitation to Internet use. It stops some people from using the Internet at all, and the other thing is it stops people from using it very much. So unless we can do much better than 1 in 3 connected, increasingly that’s going to be a real disadvantage for the country."
[24]Poor Internet connectivity in rural South Africa and the high prices of Internet-ready mobile phones have also kept the poor disconnected. Most schools and work places in rural South Africa, where the majority of the country’s people live, have no Internet connection.
And many areas of the country do not have Internet cafes. Sam Gina lives in Johannesburg: he has never been on the Internet.
"At home I don’t have it. Laptop is too expensive for me. Now I am using a phone that doesn’t have Internet."
Wilson Ayong is a Cameroonian citizen who operates an Internet cafe in Johannesburg. He says the prices at Internet cafes are too high for many South Africans.
South African Network Society’s Mr. de Lanerolle says Internet access in the country is improving. He says a new generation of Internet users from the country’s middle class is quickly entering an area once reserved for the rich.
His belief is supported by reports that show Internet usage and access in South Africa has increased by more than 100% in the last five years.
23. What do we know about South Africa?
24. What keeps the poor people in South Africa from using the Internet?
25. What will be the future development of Internet use in South Africa?
选项
A、Poor Internet connectivity in the country.
B、Expensive Internet-ready mobile phones.
C、The lack of schools and work places.
D、Difficult access to Internet cafes.
答案
B
解析
选项均为名词性短语,且选项均为消极含义的内容,推测题目可能跟弊病、问题或不良影响相关。题目问是什么阻碍了南非的穷人上网,即南非穷人不能上网的原因。录音中间部分提到可以上网的手机价格很高(high prices of Internet-ready mobile phones)是导致南非穷人上网难的一个原因(kept the poor disconnected),B项“昂贵的可上网手机”是该处录音原文的同义表达,故为答案。录音中提到的另一个原因是农村地区的网络连接力很弱,A项错在“整个国家”(in the country)这个范围。根据录音,还有一个原因是学校和工作场所这些多数人生活的地方没有网络,而不是C所说的缺乏学校和工作场地。录音虽然提到了网吧收费很贵,但并不等同于D项所说的“网吧难以进入”。
