【答案解析】[解析] 95-97
This morning, we're going to look at how the market for the Internet and cell phone use has developed in this decade. To begin with, we'll look at the year 2000. At this time the country with the highest proportion of Internet users was the United States, with 58%. Japan and Western Europe were at roughly the same level with figures of 29% and 28% respectively. In China, however, only 1.5% of the population were online. Mobile phone use was a different story. Western Europe was the leader here with 63% of people using cell phones. Japan was the second, with 47%, but in the USA fewer than 40% of people were using them.

【答案解析】中级问题
文章中关于这个部分的陈述多少有些长，所以听的时候一定要集中注意力，不要错过要点。比率最大的国家是美国，接着说日本和西欧的比率分别是29%和28%。虽然说两个地方的比率大致上一样(at roughly the same level with figures of 29% and 28%)，但是日本是第2位。

【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】中级问题
不难听出文章中有in the USA fewer than 40% of people一句话，这和选项中的“大于三分之一的人口”(Little more than a third of the population)意思相同。如果只记住了40这个数字的话，很容易掉入(B)选项的陷阱。数字类的问题可以用很多样的形式表达正确答案以增加难度，所以一定要特别小心。
