　　第二篇：Road Trip Vacations

　　It’s summer. In the United States, it’s the season of swimming pools, barbeques, camping and road trips.

　　Road trip vacations where the car journey is part of the fun are especially popular with college students, who like to explore the country on wheels. These budget trips are ideal for students who often have plenty of free time but little money.

　　"Ever since I went to college, I’ve been traveling around a lot, exploring the country," said Austin Hawkins, a 19-year-old college student from New York. This summer, Hawkins and his friends have spent weekends traveling in New England.

　　The best part about car trips, said Hawkins, is that you can be spontaneous. "On a road trip, if you get interested in things you see along the way you can stop and explore."

　　Matt Roberts, a 20-year-old student from Ohio who drove to Montreal, Canada, agrees. "With road trips you don’t have to plan in advance, you can just get into a car and drive."

　　Even with high gas prices, driving with friends is cheaper than flying. Roberts paid about 40 dollars for gas, but a round trip plane ticket would have cost nearly 400 dollars.

　　Driving trips first became popular in the 1920s. Newly paved roads and improved, cars made it possible to travel longer distances. Motels started appearing outside cities.

　　By the 1950s, car ownership became the norm. Construction of the US interstate highway system began in 1956 and motel and restaurant chains popped up1 everywhere making long distance trips easier.

　　Today, the US has the highest car ownership rate in the world. Only 8 percent of American homes have no car, according to the most recent US census.

　　Though many college students don’t own a car, most have access to one. 2 On many of Hawkins’ trips, they used a borrowed van.

　　Hawkins’ most memorable road trip took place over spring break. He and two friends drove from New York to New Orleans to volunteer, helping rebuild the city after Hurricane Katrina hit it last July. They crossed the country in two days and slept in their car in church parking lots.

　　Roberts’ road trip to Canada last winter was even more eventful. Upon arriving in Montreal, they were lost in a blizzard and shivering in the -25°cold. To find their hotel, they turned on a laptop and drove around in circles until they found a spot with wireless Internet coverage.3

　　"I know we should have planned better, but we’re young. Now, when I see those guys I always say: ’Remember when we were lost in the snow storm!’ I’ll never forget that."

　　36. Which of the following statements is NOT true of American college students?

　　A They have little money.

　　B They like traveling by bike.

　　C They like to explore the country.

　　D They often have plenty of free time.

　　37. What will Hawkins do when he sees something interesting on a road trip?

　　A He will turn back.

　　B He will drive around.

　　C He will stop to explore.

　　D He will stop exploring.

　　38. When did motels suddenly appear?

　　A After the work to build the interstate highway system started.

　　B When driving trips became popular.

　　C After many roads were paved.

　　D After new cars were made.

　　39. Which of the following words can best describe Hawkins’ trip to New Orlends?

　　A Eventful.

　　B Colourful.

　　C Delightful.

　　D Unforgettable.

　　40. The word blizzard in paragraph 12 can be replaced by

　　A snowstorm.

　　B hurricane.

　　C mist.

　　D fog.

　　He’s part of "Generation M" - those bom after 1985 who_____ 51 up connected to everything from video game to cellphones.

　　"For us, it’s everyday life," said Juarez, 18, a freshman_____ 52 California State University at Sacramento (CSUS).

　　_____53 , educators are now saying that not all Generation M-ers can synthesize the piles of information they’re accessing.

　　"They’re geeky, but they don’t know what to_____ 54 with their geekdom," said Barbara O’Connor, a Sacramento State communications studies professor who has been involved in a nationwide_____ 55 to improve students’ computer-research skills.

Only 35 per cent could correctly narrow an overly_____57 Internet search.

　　About 130 Sacramento State students, including Juarez, participated in the experimental test, _____ 58 to 6,300 college students across the country.

　　The hour-long assessment test is conducted by Educational Testing Service. It is a web-based scavenger hunt (拾荒游戲) _____ 59 simulated Internet search engines and academic databases that spit out purposely misleading information.

　　"They’re very good at_____ 60 in and using the Internet, but don’t always understand what they get back," said Linda Goff, head of instructional services for the CSUS library.

　　"They take at face value _____62 shows up at the top of the list as the best stuff." Educators say that these sloppy research skills are troubling.

　　Measuring how well students can "sort the good_____ 64 the bad" on the Internet has become a higher priority for CSU, Roth said.

　　CSU is considering_____ 65 a mandatory assessment test on technological literacy for all freshmen, much as it has required English and math placement tests since the 1980s.
