In partnering with the private Global Technology Organization, the UN Office for Projects Services wants to reduce the gap separating nations with good technology from those without. "There are more Web sites originating here in New York than in all of Africa," said Reinhart Helmke, executive director of the UN agency. "There are more Web sites originating in Finland than in all of Latin America and the Caribbean." Helmke said the digital divide would be better described as a digital chasm. He said the global economy cannot be sustained if some countries are left out.
Neysan Rassekh, founder and president of Global Technology Organization, vowed to tackle the problem "country by country, town by town, citizen by citizen." The initiative carries no funding, however. The UN projects office, as a self-financing agency with a limited budget, will provide only management know-how: Rassekh's group, which organized the University of Pennsylvania group, plans to solicit(恳求) cash and equipment donations. For the Mall project, the university paid airfare and other expenses through fees that students pay to receive academic credit.
Eliminating the global divide won't be easy. Persuading foreign governments to buy computers instead of food can be tough, even though technology can reduce poverty and hunger in the long run, said Hafidh Chaibi, who promotes global access through the World of Knowledge Foundation in Orlando, Fla. Ernest Wilson, an international development specialist at the University of Maryland, said his research found information technology growing by 18 percent a year in developing countries, compared with 23 percent in industrialized nations. That means the gap continues to grow despite improvements through programs from the United Nations, the World Bank, the Markle Foundation and other organizations.
The UN announcement came as world leaders met at the UN Millennium Summit to discuss such challenges as peace, disarmament and access, to new technology. Over four weeks in May and June, the University of Pennsylvania volunteers set up four computer centers in Mall and trained 120 residents, mostly students and educators who could then teach others. Organizers are also setting up a Web site to help residents obtain information on education and health. The UN agency and its private partner plan to replicate that effort in 10 to 12 countries a year.
The "digital divide" as is used in the first passage refers to ______.
A．the gap in technology and wealth between poor and rich countries
B．inadequate training which technicians in poorer countries have received
C．the availability of computer and Internet technologies to different nations
D．the difference in the number of Web sites created in poor and rich countries

第10题
In a rare unanimous ruling, the US Supreme Court has overturned the corruption conviction of a former Virginia governor, Robert McDonnell. But it did so while holding its nose at the ethics of his conduct, which included accepting gifts such as a Rolex watch and a Ferrari automobile from a company seeking access to government.
The high court's decision said the judge in Mr. McDonnell's trial failed to tell a jury that it must look only at his "official acts," or the former governor's decisions on "specific" and "unsettled" issues related to his duties.
Merely helping a gift-giver gain access to other officials, unless done with clear intent to pressure those officials, is not corruption, the justices found.
The court did suggest that accepting favors in return for opening doors is "distasteful" and "nasty." But under anti-bribery laws, proof must be made of concrete benefits, such as approval of a contract or regulation. Simply arranging a meeting, making a phone call, or hosting an event is not an "official act".
The court's ruling is legally sound in defining a kind of favoritism that is not criminal. Elected leaders must be allowed to help supporters deal with bureaucratic problems without fear of prosecution for bribery." The basic compact underlying representative government," wrote Chief Justice John Roberts for the court," assumes that public officials will hear from their constituents and act on their concerns."
But the ruling reinforces the need for citizens and their elected representatives, not the courts, to ensure equality of access to government. Officials must not be allowed to play favorites in providing information or in arranging meetings simply because an individual or group provides a campaign donation or a personal gift. This type of integrity requires well-enforced laws in government transparency, such as records of official meetings, rules on lobbying, and information about each elected leader's source of wealth.
Favoritism in official access can fan public perceptions of corruption. But it is not always corruption. Rather officials must avoid double standards, or different types of access for average people and the wealthy. If connections can be bought, a basic premise of democratic society-that all are equal in treatment by government-is undermined. Good governance rests on an understanding of the inherent worth of each individual.
The court's ruling is a step forward in the struggle against both corruption and official favoritism.
1.The undermined sentence (Para.1) most probably shows that the court
A.avoided defining the extent of McDonnell's duties.
B.made no compromise in convicting McDonnell.

2.According to Paragraph 4, an official act is deemed corruptive only if it involves
A.leaking secrets intentionally.

3.The court"s ruling is based on the assumption that public officials are
A.justified in addressing the needs of their constituents.
B.qualified to deal independently with bureaucratic issues.
C.allowed to focus on the concerns of their supporters.
D.exempt from conviction on the charge of favoritism.
4.Well-enforced laws in government transparency are needed to
A.awaken the conscience of officials.
B.guarantee fair play in official access.
C.allow for certain kinds of lobbying.
D.inspire hopes in average people.
5.The author"s attitude toward the court"s ruling is
A.sarcastic.
