Passage Three
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.

If you asked people today why they used the telephone to communicate with their friends or why they turned to the television for entertainment, they would look at you as if you were crazy. We don't think about a telephone or a television or a car as being rare. These things have become such an essential part of life that they are no longer noticed, let alone remarked upon.

In the same way, within a decade no one will notice the Worldwide Web(互联网). It will just be there, an essential part of life. It will be a reflex to turn to the Web for shopping, education, entertainment and communication, just as it is natural today to pick up the telephone to talk to someone.

There is an enormous interest in the Web. Yet it is still in its infancy(婴儿期). The technology and the speed of response are leaping forward. This will move more and more people to the Web as part of their everyday lives. Eventually ,everyone's business card will have an electronic mail address. Every lawyer, every doctor and every business-from large to small -will be connected.

To predict that it will take over ten years for these changes to happen is probably pessimistic(悲观的). We usually overestimate what we can do in two years and underestimate what we can do in ten. The Web will be as much a way of life as the car by 2008. probably before.

31. What is implied in Paragraph 1?
　A. Only mad people would ask questions about telephones, TV sets and cars.
　B. We don't usually ask people why they use the telephone, television and car.
　C. Today televisions and cars are no longer as important as they used to be.
　D. In some places, the telephone, television and car are still rare things.

32. According to the text, in ten years' time the Web will ______.
　A. have become part of people's everyday life
　B. be as cheap as the telephone of today
　C. have lost its interest to people
　D. no longer be an infant

33. The word "reflex" in Line 2, Paragraph 2 probably means _____.
　A. automatic, unthinking act
　B. something one is thinking over
　C. reflection of other people's opinion
　D. turning from the source

34. Technology for the Web _____.
　A. has passed its infancy
　B. is developing at a very rapid rate
　C. has naturally moved more people together
　D. is responding to the challenge of the world

35. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
　A. The development of the Web has just started.
　B. It will probably take less than ten years for the Web to become common.
　C. Eventually the Web will be able to link all businesses together.
　D. We are usually too optimistic when we talk about what we can do in ten years.

Ⅶ. E-C Translation(15 points)
将下列短文译成汉语并将答案写在答题纸上。

Today, growing numbers of people are changing careers or getting second starts in careers that have greater attraction to them. Motives or reasons for changing careers vary widely, but may people move because they feel bored. For some, a second start grows out of the realization that what they want out of life is not what they are doing, and they decide to do those things they enjoy and believe to be important. Certainly, time spent in one occupation is likely to narrow the range of later occupational choices; very few people start a completely new career in mid-life. Most people move to a related field that involves a minimum of training.
