“They can listen to stock quotes,they can listen to news,they can listen to sports scores and they can listen to weather.”
Lisa Pollack is the project’s senior producer.She said this new technology,which turns text into synthesized speech,is helping to bridge the digital divide.

now they can access their information from wherever they are.”

Ⅲ.1.depends on the weather 2.What are you up to do 3.have a very vivid imagination 4.a puzzled look on his face 5.leaving only bones
Ⅳ.1.C [“be packed with”为固定搭配,意为“大礼堂里挤满了人”。]
2.B [句意为:如果我们走另一条路,我们可能早就按时到会了。本题考查的是虚拟语气。根据句意及后边主句谓语might have arrived可知if从句表示与过去事实相反,故if从句的谓语动词用过去完成时。]
3.D [dip sth.in/into sth.else把……伸进/到……,故选D项。]
4.A [句意为:为了安全起见,老师建议家长不要让12岁以下的孩子骑自行车上学。本题考查虚拟语气用法。recommend,suggest,insist,order,request,advise等表“建议、命令、要求”等意思的动词,后接宾语从句时,宾语从句的谓语动词常用“should+动词原形”,should可以省略。]
5.B [not only...but (also)...连接并列分句,若not only位于句首时,其后的分句要部分倒装。]
6.A [句意为:如果我了解这种电脑程序的话,就可以节约大量的时间和精力。本题考查虚拟语气。如果表示与过去事实相反的话,条件句采用过去完成时态(如果省略if可采用部分倒装结构),主句谓语动词应采用“would+have+过去分词”的结构,故答案为A项。]
7.C [句意为:如果他(当时)接受我的建议,就不会丢掉他的工作了。本题考查虚拟语气。因为if条件句表示与过去事实相反,故采用过去完成时。]
8.D [句意为:她是外国人这一事实使她很难在那个国家找到工作。it作形式宾语,真正的宾语是后面的不定式短语。]
9.D [句意为:如果在春天种下西瓜种子,秋天你就会吃到新鲜的西瓜。本题考查动词时态。A项为一般现在时态;B项为过去将来时态;C项为现在完成时态;D项为将来进行时态,表示将来某时间正在进行或某阶段内一直在进行的动作,in the fall为表示将来的时间状语,故答案为D项。]
10.C [语境表示“我让牙医拔掉我的牙齿”,表示让别人做某事,符合have sth.done句型。]
Ⅴ.1.D [推理判断题。根据“Yahoo is making it easier to check your email”及“It’s called ‘Yahoo! By phone.’ The idea you don’t have to have a computer to access to Internet.”可知D项正确。]
2.D [细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The idea you don’t have to have a computer to access to Internet.”及倒数第四段“Here is how it works.Just dial 1800-my Yahoo,punch in your code and listen.”可知D项正确。]
3.D [细节理解题。A项认为“利用这种新技术可以做一切事情”的说法太绝对,可以排除;B项认为“手机比电脑更方便”的说法与原文不符,文中只是说有手机的人比有电脑的人多,但未进行比较;C项根据倒数第四段的例子可以看出不是直接听到你朋友,而是“听”到了你朋友给你写的邮件。]
4.C [推理判断题。根据“Several small companies like Tell-me and BeVocal have already launched similar systems that use voice portals.Yahoo’s offers email.”可知Yahoo利用的这种技术在别的公司早就开始了,Yahoo只是第一个把它用到email系统上,从而为顾客提供一种新的服务。]
