     Most large companies already provide Internet connections to the desktop and their availability in small and medium sized companies is expanding rapidly. Besides the items noted above, we can expect to see distributed learning through correspondence courses, via e-mail (and soon Internet phone and later conferencing) where teacher feedback comes in minutes or hours without the need for costly faxes and can therefore be offered much more widely. As secure financial transactions become more widely and cheaply available this kind of service will also become a more practical reality for individual use too.
     Right now it is possible to arrange machine translation of documents for some languages at low cost over the Net and the quality, accuracy and number of languages is improving all the time. We can expect that these services will expand rapidly and continue to be of much higher quality than is possible with desktop PC software translation programs. Combined with the use of e-mail checking by bi-lingual expert translators these machine translations can greatly expedite translation and therefore reduce costs. As the software improves, costs will plummet quickly since the need for human intervention and its associated costs will become necessary only for material which is to be published as the quality of machine translation begins to match or be better than that which is available from all but the very best human translators.
     Use the Internet yourself, encourage friends to do likewise and make it available for your staff. The Net is a global equalizer which will just get better and better. Right now is the time to begin. Language learning resources are finally available at reasonable cost, so couple your learning program to the Net and get human benefits from the technology on your desktop. It’s a wide and wonderful world. [br] Which of the following statements do you think the author has implied?
选项 A、It is compulsory to couple one’s learning program to the Internet.
B、The Internet presupposes the idea of equality all over the world.
C、The Internet is a wonderful, beneficial human technical invention.
D、The Internet provides much more accurate and precise translation.
答案 B
解析 根据题目，这是一道推理题。选项A错了，是因为作者没有强迫别人而是在劝说。选项B是正确的，是因为作者说到了the Internet是equalizer，就暗示在Internet面前人人平等。选项C是不言而喻的事实。选项D错了，是因为作者提示了网上翻译会不断地改进；即使要提供更加正确或者精确的翻译也是将来的事情。
