Part 1：0uestions(30—34)are based on passage 1． 1 0 points
Passage 1
Born In The U．S．A．
As a creation of the Defense Department and U．S．universities，the Internet at first drew mostly U．S．bureaucrats and academics．Although its founders assigned domain names for about 250 countries—such as．uk for the United Kingdom and．no for Norway—U．S．domination continued even when the Net became more commercial．“If the U．S．could have invented a device t0 export their culture and their policies and the whole fabric of the
American experiment，they couldn’t have done better，” said Don Heath，president of t11e nonprofit Internet Society in Reston，Va．
A strong private sector made this domination possible，said David Colton of the
Information Technology Association of America in Arlington，Va．Private phone lines in the United States allow cheap connections to the Net，and business entrepreneurs provide money for risky start-ups．
With few users outside the United States，foreign companies had little incentive to produce their own content．And with scant local content，foreign residents had little
incentive to connect．As recently as a year ago，many Europeans avoided the Internet，
viewing it as“an American toy，”said Liesbeth Hop，president of Pro Active International，an Internet research group based in Amsterdam．
Most U．S．-based retail sites are in English and deal in U．S．dollars．They also typically require credit cards，she said，even though Europeans are used to billing or cash on delivery．
However，foreign businesses have been busily moving onto the Internet，especially in the
travel industry．“It’S still considered a very American network，though we are making it ours at the moment，” Hop said．
And programmers around the world are developing software to translate text into other languages，although there still are kinks that make mistakes，such as changing Bill Gates to “invoice of fences．”

Part 2：Questions(35—38)are based on passage 2·10 points
Passage 2
1．Shortly after Brenda Tallman had arrived as publisher at the Plattsburgh PressRepublican in northeastern New York State，in 1986，she learned an important lesson about small—town newspapering in the United States．
“You have to remember that the person you are talking about is probably rela ted to the
person you are talking to，” she says with a slight grin．Understanding human nature is absolutely essential to the survival and growth of America’s small—town newspapers·
Through the eyes of newspaper people，the grand designs of the U．S．Constitu tion’s
protection of press freedom appear less monumental when they are viewed alongside patterns
of long—standing，close-knit relationships in a place like Plattsburgh．
2．Tallman，who has been in the newspaper business for all of her adult life，is an
emphatic defender of press freedom．Since coming to Plattsburgh，she has had to resist community pressure on several occasions for the sake of full , fair，and accurate news
coverage．
3．But in a small city like Plattsburgh，with a population of 26，000，one need not recite the constitutional protections from the rooftops．The sensibility and close associations of small towns can be taken into account，Tallman believes，without damaging a newspaper’s
right to unfettered publication．
4．“Our role as a small—town newspaper is to make people aware of their surroundings and the changes that are taking place，” Tallman explains during an interview at the modern newspaper plant，located in the downtown area．The population demographics have remained
relatively stable for generations in Plattsburgh．
’5．Government-related industries such as prisons，customs，and border patrols
(Plattsburgh is some 45 kilometers from the U.S．_Canadian border)employ a large
percentage of the civilian population．
6．“People who live here went to school with one another；they know everybody’s sins and weaknesses；they remember the‘F’[failing grade-]on the mathematics test in secondary school，”explains Tallman．“Certainly we are mindful of the readership and the community we serve．and the makeup Of the area．So we do some things that other papers don’t．It’s important if someone has won an award，and we do a lot of the‘chicken dinner’[community activities-I stuff That’s our purpose．”·
7．The Press-Republican has a circulation of over 23，000 in a three—county area，placing it among the ranks of hundreds of other small U．S．dailies．Because their audiences are much smaller，more specific，and more familiar，community media such as local newspaper，television，and radio operations must approach the news differently from their big-city counterparts．Coverage is targeted to the needs and desires of a narrow audience．Thus，happenings that might rate only a line or two，if that，in a metropolitan paper receive full—blown attention in the local media．
Questions 35—38 Matching：Match each of the items in column A with 2 or 3 related items
Part 3：Questions(39—48)are based on passage 3. 20 points
