1、BFT 阅读（综合）-试卷 15 及答案解析(总分：40.00，做题时间：90 分钟)一、Part 2(总题数：4，分数：40.00)1. The private car is assumed to have widened our horizons and increased our mobility. When we consider our childrens mobility, they can be driven to more places(and more distant places)than they could visit without access to a motor
2、 vehicle. However, allowing our cities to be dominated by cars has progressively eroded childrens independent mobility. Children have lost much of their freedom to explore their own neighborhood or city without adult supervision. 2. Childrens independent access to their local streets may be importan
3、t for their own personal, mental and psychological development. Allowing them to get to know their own neighborhood and community gives them a “sense of place“. This depends on active exploration, which is not provided for when children are passengers in cars.(Such children may see more, but they le
4、arn less.)Not only is it important that children be able to get to local play areas by themselves, but walking and cycling journeys to school and to other destinations provide genuine play activities in themselves. 3. There are very significant time and money costs for parents associated with transp
5、orting their children to school, sport and to other locations. Research in the United Kingdom estimated that this cost, in 1990, was between 10 billion and 20 billion pounds. 4. The reduction in childrens freedom may also contribute to a weakening of the sense of local community. As fewer children a
6、nd adults use the streets as pedestrians, these streets become less sociable places. There is less opportunity for children and adults to have the spontaneous exchanges that help to engender a feeling of community. This in itself may exacerbate fear associated with assault and molestation of childre
7、n, because there are fewer adults available who know their neighbors children, and who can look out for their safety. 5. The extra traffic involved in transporting children results in increased traffic congestion, pollution and accident risk. As our roads become more dangerous, more parents drive th
8、eir children to more places, thus contributing to increased levels of danger for the remaining pedestrians. Anyone who has experienced either the reduced volume of traffic jams near schools at the end of a school day, will not need convincing about these points. Thus, there are also important enviro
9、nmental implications of childrens loss of freedom. 6. As individuals, parents strive to provide the best upbringing they can for their children. However, in doing so,(e. g. by driving their children to sport, school or recreation)parents may be contributing to a more dangerous environment for childr
10、en generally. The idea that “streets are for cars and backyards and playgrounds are for children“ is a strongly held belief, and parents have little choice as individuals but to keep their children off the streets if they want to protect their safety.

16、（分数：2.00）填空项 1:_1. Shareware is computer software that is distributed on the principle that user can try it before they buy it. Shareware is not free software, and it is still protected by copyright laws, the essential difference between shareware and ordinary commercial software is that users are p
17、ermitted to run a shareware program to test it for a reasonable time perhaps for 30 days before registering and paying for it. Users who do not pay for it are on their hour, if any to stop using it. 2. Because shareware is freely distributed, it avoids many of the costs of commercial distribution. S
18、hareware programs are usually passed around without boxes and manuals, and there are no dealers to take a cut of the profits. Shareware libraries are allowed to make a small charge to cover the cost of any risks, and on-line services may charge for connection time while a program is downloaded to a
19、users personal computer, but these sums are small. As a result, shareware is usually much cheaper than commercial software and it can be of very good value. 3. The shareware market was most successful in the early days of IBM Personal Computer, launched in the USA in 1981. At the time, there was rel
20、atively little commercial software around, there were not many shops selling programs, and commercial standards were relatively low. Good shareware programs such as PC-Write and PC-File generated millions of dollars worth of sales. Today, quality software suites such as Microsoft Works and Claris Wo
21、rks are widely available and cheap; so most shareware programs are simpler products that often could not be distributed on a commercial basis. 4. Software writers have made a variety of attempts to encourage users to pay for programs when the test period runs out. Payment may, for example, be reward
22、ed with an upgraded version of the program, a printed manual, and support if there are problems. Some programs include warnings or advertising messages that urge the user to pay. Some programs limit their software or stop it from working after 30 days. 5. Today, shareware is not as popular as it has
23、 been, and there are fewer shareware libraries in operation. However, the future is not necessarily hopeless. Many computer users have now become used to downloading programs over the Internet, and this means that more users have easy access to shareware. Questions 1-5 Directions: For questions 1-5,
