The advent of the Internet may be one of the most important technological developments in recent years Never before have so many people had access to so many different sources of information For all of the Internet’s advantages, however, people are currently becoming aware of some of its drawbacks and are looking for creative solutions Among the current problems, which include a general lack of reliability and numerous security concerns, the most crucial is speed

First of all, the Internet has grown very quickly In 1990, only a few academics had ever heard of the Internet In 1996, over 50 million people used it Every year, the number of people with access to the Internet doubles The rapid growth has been a problem The computer systems which run the Internet have not been able to keep up with the demand Also, sometimes a request for information must pass through many routing computers before the information can be obtained A request for information made in Paris might have to go through computers in New York, Los Angeles and Tokyo in order to obtain the required information Consequently, service is often slow and unpredictable Service also tends to be worse when the Internet is busiest – during the business day of the Western Hemisphere - which is also when companies need its service the most

Some people are trying to harness the power of networked computers in such a way to avoid this problem In 1995, a group of American universities banded together to form what has come to be known as Internet II Internet II is a smaller, more specialized, fewer users are allowed access Consequently, the time required to receive information has decreased

Businesses are beginning to explore a possible analogue to the Internet II Many businesses are creating their own “Intranets” These are systems that can only be used by the members of the same company In theory, fewer users should translate into a faster system Intranets are very useful for large national and international companies whose branches need to share information Another benefit of an Intranet is an increased amount of security Since only company employees have access to the information on the Intranet, their information is protected from competitors While there is little doubt that the Internet will eventually be a fast, reliable service, industry and the academic community have taken their own steps toward making more practical global networks

36 According to the author, what is one reason why the Internet is sometimes slow? A Phone lines are often too busy with phone calls and fax transmissions to handle Internet traffic

C Most people don’t have computers that are fast enough to take advantage of the Internet D Scientists take up so much time on the Internet, thus slowing it down for everyone else 37 The word “obtain” is closest in meaning to “ _”

A understand B acquire C distribute D purchase

38 The word “harness” is closest in meaning to “ _” A utilize B disguise C steal D block

39 With which of the following conclusions would the author probably agree? A Fewer academic communities need to create their own internet systems

B The technology used by internet creators is too complex for computer owners to understand C An Internet system with fewer users would be quicker

D Companies who develop their own intranets are limiting their information data base 40 All of the following are advantages of business “Intranets” mentioned in the passage EXCEPT _

A they provide a higher level of security B they share information with other company

C Intranets are very useful for large national and international companies whose branches need to share information

D they move data faster

There is a famous old saying that when trying to solve a problem “two heads are better than one” Yet until recently, businesses would often rely on one key person to get important tasks done But thanks to a phenomenon called crowdsourcing, more and more companies are allowing their consumers to have their say when designing new products

The term “crowdsourcing” refers to the process of outsourcing jobs which were once done by a single person to a large group (or a crowd) of people In the past, crowdsourcing wasn’t

practical, as it was impossible to gather thousands of like-minded people together to share opinions Now, thanks to the Internet, online forums, and social media, this isn’t a difficult task at all

There are many important applications for crowdsourcing in business For example, if a small business was looking to develop a business logo, it might employ a single designer and hope for the best However, with crowdsourcing, companies can specify some guidelines about their project, set a budget, and start a design contest online Within hours, it will likely receive hundreds of designers sending them logos

In the end, they can choose the design they like best and the winner will get compensated Crowdsourcing has other applications as well A website called Duolingo is using crowdsourcing to translate documents into different languages It offers free lessons to language learners As part of their tests, users translate lines to test their knowledge Then, a computer programme will analyze thousands of test results for consistency and arrange an accurate translation Not everyone is sold on crowdsourcing, though In many cases, it may be better to rely on the opinion of a few specialized professionals than information from a crowd For instance, it makes more sense to trust the opinion of one top doctor than to take the advice of 1,000 random people regarding a health issue Another criticism is the low wage that crowdworkers usually receive Since crowdworkers are freelancers and not employees, they can be paid less than minimum wage Whether you love or hate crowdsourcing, it appears to be here to stay So before you make any financial judgements, consider following the crowd and give

crowdsourcing a try

26: The old saying “two heads are better than one” in paragraph means that A two people can work more carefully than one person working alone

B two heads are more expensive than one

C two people can achieve more than one person working alone D two heads are paid better than one

27: One of the advantages of using crowdsourcing is

A we can get the best answer to our solution with the unbelievably small budget

B within a relatively short period of time, we can get so many answers to a single problem C the company no longer hire employees to solve problems

D hospitals can practically apply the method of crowdsourcing in consulting patients 28: Which of the following is NOT a good situation to use crowdsourcing?

A A company needs to get ideas for a new sneaker

B A business is looking to understand why people like its products C A student is looking for ideas on where to stay on holiday D A person needs to understand a law for an important court case

A It was too hard to collect and check lots of people’s ideas B People weren’t as smart as they are today

C It was usually illegal in most countries to this

D No one had ever thought of the idea of crowdsourcing before 30: Which of the following sentences is true?

A Everyone agrees that crowdsourcing is a great idea B Crowdsourcing is now a fast way to get logos made

C It seems that crowdsourcing will become less popular in the future D People who work as crowdworkers don’t earn large salaries
