问题     A new poll shows that people believe that computers and the Internet have made life better for Americans, but people also see some dangers in the trend toward computerization.
    The poll found that the public favors some government protection from cyber-problems (网络问题), but in general people are not especially concerned about issues such as information overload or the never-ending flow of phone calls, faxes and e-mails. A separate survey of children aged 10-17 shows that they have a more positive attitude about computers than adults do, and most have made use of up-to-date technology in their schools.
    The survey found that enthusiasm for computers and the Internet is found in all income groups, all regions of the country, all races, and most age groups. However, people over 60 and those towards the lower end of the income rank tend to show lower rates of computer ownership and Internet usage. The survey shows that "some kind of gap has been crossed: Computers are part of everyday life for most Americans, and the Internet is close behind." [br] What are the Americans concerned about according to the poll?
选项 A、Age of the children using the Internet.
B、Government protection from the Internet problems.
C、Information overload.
D、The flow of phone calls, faxes and e-mails.
答案 B
解析 事实细节题。本题询问根据民意调查，美国人关心什么。根据文章第二段第一句话可知美国人希望政府能够保护他们免受网络问题的侵扰，故选项B为正确答案。选项A(儿童使用因特网的年龄问题)在文中没有提到，故不选。根据文章第二段第一句话的后半部分可知美国人不是很重视信息超载、打电话、传真往来和邮件发送等问题，故选项C(信息超载)和选项D(频繁的电话、传真、电子邮件发送)不符合题目要求。
