Question I: Read the following passage and then choose the most suitable word or phrase for each 
space. (10 pts) 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 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.
71. Why does the author mention the telephone in paragraph 2?
 A. To demonstrate that even technology like the telephone is not available to all
 B. To argue that basic telephone service is a first step to using the Internet
 C. To contrast the absence of telephone usage with that of Internet usage
 D. To describe the development of communications from telephone to Internet
72. Which of the sentences below best expresses the information in the statement “Although the number
............. or the Internet.” in the paragraph 2?
 A. Most of the people in the world use the Internet now because the number of computers has been 
 increasing every year.
 B. 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.
 C. The number of computers that can make the Internet available to most of the people in the world is 
 not increasing fast enough. Question II: Finish each of the following sentences in such a way that it is as similar as possible in
