When people arch online, they leave a trail that remains stored on the central computers of firms such as Google, Yahoo and Microsoft.

UK writer and Internet expert John Battelle wrote on his blog, "This can tell us (42) things about who we are and what we want as a (43) ." Google's experimental rvice Google Trends, for example, compares the numbers of people arching for different words and phras from 2004 to the prent. According to the graphs, sometimes people's interests are obviously (44) the news agenda: when the Spice Girls announce a reunion, there's an immediate (45) to find out more about them. Other results are strikingly asonal: people go shopping online for coats in winter and short pants in summer.

Perhaps we arch for a political candidate's name when we are thinking about (48) him or her. Maybe we even arch for "stock market crash" or "recession" just before we start (49) our investments.

PART Ⅳ
READING COMPREHENSION
Directions: In this part of the test, there are five short passages. Read each passage carefully, and then do the questions that follow. Choo the best answer from the four choices given and mark the corresponding letter with a single bar across the square brackets on your machine-scoring Answer Sheet.
Passage One
New York's WCBS puts it in a way that just can't be better expresd: "It was an accident waiting to happen."
多元智能
15-year-old Alexa Longueira was wandering along the street in Staten Island, obliviously tapping text messages into her phone as she walked. Distracted by her phone, she failed to notice the open manhole (下水道窨井) in her path, and plunged into it, taking an unprepared bath of raw wage along with receiving moderate injuries. Longueira called the dive "really gross, shocking and scary."
It's not all Longueira's fault. The manhole shouldn't have been left uncovered and unattended, and no warning signs or hazard cones had been t up near the work site.
A worker with New York's Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), who was preparing to flush the wage, helped her out, and the department later issued a formal apology for the incident.
Nonetheless, obrvers are harshly divided over who is to blame here. The DEP is certainly at fault for failing to cure the manhole, but to what extent should the girl be held accountable for failure to be aware of her surroundings? If she had stepped into traffic and been hit by a car, would her reaction (that is: anger and a potential lawsuit) be any different?
Detachment from one's environment due to electronic gadgets is a growing problem--and a hazardous one. The government is even trying to get involved, with multiple laws on the books across the country outlawing cell phone u and text messaging while operating a motor vehicle in the wake of rious accidents involving distracted drivers. New York Senator Kruger even tried to criminalize the u of handheld devices (including phones, music players, and game players) by pedestrians while they are crossing streets in major New York cities, due to concerns over the number of auto vs. pedestrian accidents.
Following a substantial outcry, that legislation appears never to have been formally introduced. But did Kruger have a point?
What interested me, at least, is the end of the stow above that Longueira lost a shoe in the wage. But since other things are not reported as lost, I'm guessing she appears to have managed to keep her grip on her phone during the accident.
51. By "It was an accident waiting to happen" , New York's WCBS meant that
______.
A. the accident should have been avoidable
B. this kind of accidents happen frequently
C. somebody was glad to e what would happen
D. an open manhole is sure a trap for careless pedestrians
52. When the girl fell into the open manhole, she ______.
A. was riously hurt
B. was frightened
C. took a bath in the raw wage
D. cried help to the DEP worker
53. According to the author, who was to blame for the accident?
A. The girl herlf.
B. The DEP worker.
C. Both of them.
D. Nobody.
54. According to the passage, which of the following is illegal in the U.S.?
A. Talking on a cell phone while driving.
