Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
选项 A、Americans used to get access to the Internet easily．
B、The world’8 TV sets will total 150 million by 2013．
C、45％of families in the developing countries had a TV in 2005．
D、Over two thirds of families in the world will have a TV by 2013．
答案D
解析 可以从That is some way behind the U．S，where are more TVs than people，and where people nOW easily get access to the Internet．判断选项A是错误的，原文中是“now easily”，即表示现在上网很方便，而选项A用的是“used to”(过去)，所以不正确；从The global total is another 150 million by 2013——pushing the numbers to well beyond two thirds of families．可以判断B是错误的，“another 150 million by 2013”意为到2013年再增长150 million sets，而不是增长到150 million，重点要把握“an—other”(另一个)这个词；从Across the developing world，around 45％of families had a TV in 1995；by2005 the number had climbed above 60％．可知选项C是错误的，1995年有45％的家庭拥有电视机，到2005年这个数字会上涨60％多，可见到2005年会不止45％的家庭拥有电视机。
