A．means
B．method
C．medium
D．measure
正确答案：C
解析：文章背景分析：这是一篇有关人类信息社会发展过程问题的社科类说明文。文章中心主线分析：文章的中心主线在文章的首句以及第2句就已经明确了。(Comparisonsweredrawnbetweenthedevelopmentoftelevisioninthe20thcenturyandthediffusionofprintinginthe15thand16thcenturies．Yetmuchhadhappenedbetween)。我们要在以电视发展为标志的20世纪和以印刷术的传播为标志的15、16世纪之间做比较。但是，在这两个阶段之间又有许多发明出现了。从文章的头两句话可以读山本文探讨的主题是有关人类信息社会的发展过程，而且重点是讲述在20世纪和15、16世纪两个阶段之间发生的事情。文章结构分析：由于此篇文章讲述的主题是有关人类信息社会的发展过程，时间阶段就成为贯穿全文的一个重要线索。通过总结和比较这些时间阶段，可以很快掌握文章的结构为总分结构。英语知识运用分析：(61)空是考查名词的专业术语，主语newspaper显然是一种medium(媒体)。 -

B.founding
C.improving
D.Managing答案：D解析：管理信息系统给企业管理者做各种决策所需要的信息。早期的商用电脑用于简单的操作如跟踪、结算、销售或小型的工资数据。随着时间的推移，这些计算机的应用程序变得更加复杂，硬件存储容量的增长，需要改善连接这些先前孤立应用程序之间的技术。随着越来越多的数据存储和连接，管理者寻求更抽象以及更详细的目标，从原材料和存储的数据中创造更显著的管理报告。起初，“MIS”描述为管理者提供信息，这将有助于管理企业销售、存货和其他数据的应用程序。随着时间的推移，这个词逐步扩大到包括决策支持系统、资源管理和人力资源管理、企业资源规划（ERP）、企业绩效管理（EPM）、供应链管理（SCM）、客户关系管理（CRM）、项目管理库存储和检索应用程序。 -

第7题：
问答题Passage 1 Comparisons were drawn between the development of television in the 20th century and the diffusion of printing in the 15th and 16th centuries. Yet much had happened between. As was discussed before, it was not 1 the 19th century that the newspaper became the dominant pre-electronic medium, following in the wake of the pamphlet and the book and in the company of the periodical. It was during the same time that the communications revolution speeded 2 , beginning 3 transport, the railway, and leading on through the telegraph, the telephone, radio, and motion pictures into the 20th-century world 4 the motor car and the airplane. Not everyone sees that 5 in perspective. It is generally recognized, however, that the introduction of the computer in the early 20th century, followed 6 the invention of the integrated circuit during the 1960s, radically changed the process, 7 its impact 8 the media was not immediately apparent. 9 time went by, computers became smaller and more powerful, and they became “personal” too, as 10 as institutional, with display becoming sharper and storage capacity 11 . They were thought of, like people, in terms of generations, with the distance between generations much smaller. It was within the computer age that the term “information society” began to be widely used to describe the context 12 we now live. The communications revolution has 13 both work and leisure and how we think and feel both about place and time, 14 there have been controversial views about its economic, political, social and cultural implications. “Benefits” have been weighed 15 “harmful” outcomes. And generalizations have proved difficult.正确答案： 1. until 本句为It is not until…that…的强调句型,意思为“直到……才……”。这句话是说直到19世纪报纸才成为在电子时代之前最重要的媒介。
2. up speed up加速发展;超速行驶。这里表示通信革命加速发展,用speed up。speed up
3. with begin with以……开始。这里指通信革命以交通开始。
4. of 句意:信息革命以火车开始,引领各种产业继续发展,从电报、电话、无线电和电影,再到20世纪的汽车和飞机。本题填入of,
5. process 空格前面提到了信息革命逐渐加速的这一具体过程,空格后面提到一般认为计算机的引进和集成电路的发明从根本上改变了这个进程。由此可推测,此处意思为:并不是所有人都正确地看待这个过程。in perspective通盘地,正确地。
6. by “20世纪初计算机的采用”这个事件发生在前,而“20世纪60年代集成电路的发明”这个事件发生在后,所以用followed by表示“紧跟其后”。
7. although 上文讲述到计算机和集成电路的发明根本上改变了这个进程,而下文又叙述其对媒体的影响并没有即刻体现出来,所以上下文之间是让步关系,故填入although。
8. on impact on sth.对……造成影响。
9. As 本句主句结构完整,因此空格部分应该填入连词,引导状语从句。As time goes by随着时间的流逝。
10. well as well as也;和……一样。句意:计算机变得更小巧、工作能力更强,而且也变得更加私人和机构化。小巧和能力变强是对比关系,“personal(个人的)”和institutional(社会机构的)对照。
11. increasing 句意:显示屏变得更加清晰,而储存容量不断增加。storage capacity储存容量。根据上下文语境,此处应该是指储存容量增加。
13. where 空格部分后面接定语从句修饰context。根据上下文可知,本句是指在计算机时代,信息社会被广泛用来形容我们现在的生活背景,因此此处需要使用where。
13. influenced 该段主要是介绍信息革命对我们生活的影响。因此此处填入influenced。
14. but 空格的前面部分讲到信息革命影响了我们的工作、娱乐等等,空格后面讲到关于其各方面的影响存在争议,前后两部分构成转折,因此此处填入连词but。
15.against weigh against权衡,一般用于两个相对的事物。这里是说益处和坏处的权衡。解析： 暂无解析 -

第12题：
问答题Practice 2 The laptop computer is a small, portable computer that’s light and small enough to hold on your lap. It is smaller than a luggage but larger than a notebook computer. A laptop usually weighs between 8 and 14 pounds, and when folded shut is about the size of a small briefcase. Laptops can be plugged in or run on batteries, although the batteries must be recharged every few hours. Laptop computers use a thin, light weight display screen called a flat-panel display, rather than the cathode ray tube technology of larger personal computers. Laptop displays vary widely in quality. Typically, their display screens show fewer lines than displays on larger computers and can be difficult to read in bright light. Laptops are self-contained units, having their own CPUs, memory, and disk drives. While more expensive than a desktop computer with equivalent computing power, a laptop can be ideal for the on-the-go user who needs a second, portable computer. Laptops aren’t always a suitable replacement for desktop computer, since they can’t be expanded or modified easily should your computing needs change. Also, the display is inferior to standard video graphics array（VGA）displays, although active matrix displays compete well except for size.正确答案：
【参考译文】
膝上型计算机是一种小型便携式计算机,重量轻,机型小,可以放在膝上使用。其形状比行李箱小,但比笔记本电脑大,重量一般在8到14磅左右,折叠起来和小号公文包差不多大小。可以插电源也可以使用电池运行,电池每隔几个小时就必须充电。这类计算机不像较大型的个人电脑那样采用阴极射线管技术,而是采用一种名叫平板显示器的薄型轻质显示屏。膝上型计算机显示器的质量良莠不一。一般而言,其显示屏显示的行数比大型个人计算机少,且在强光下很难看清。膝上型电脑机型虽小然而五脏俱全,拥有自己的中央处理器、内存和光驱。尽管膝上型计算机比功能相当的台式机贵很多,然而对于经常到处奔波而另外需要一台便携式计算机的人来说这种计算机还是很理想的选择。如果用户使用计算机处理信息的需求发生变化,膝上型计算机很难相应地扩大容量或做出其他调整,因此有时用这类计算机来取代台式机也不太合适。而且,虽然膝上型计算机的活性矩阵显示器的屏幕大小可以与影像列阵显示器相媲美,但是总的来说,膝上型计算机的显示器不如标准的影像列阵显示器好。解析： 暂无解析 -
