THE DIGITAL DIVIDE
Information technology is influencing the way many of us live and work today. We use the
Internet to look and apply for jobs, shop, conduct research, make airline reservations, and explore
areas of interest. We use e-mail and the Internet to communicate instantaneously with friends and
business associates around the world. Computers are commonplace in homes and the workplace.
Although the number of Internet users is growing exponentially each year, most of the
world’s population does not have access to computers or the Internet. Only 6 percent of the
population in developing countries are connected to telephones. Although more than 94 percent
of U.S. households have a telephone, only 42 percent have personal computers at home and 26
percent have Internet access. The lack of what most of us would consider a basic communications
necessity –the telephone –does not occur just in developing nations. On some Native American
reservations only 60 percent of the residents have a telephone. The move to wireless connections
may eliminate the need for telephone lines, but it does not remove the barrier to equipment costs.
Who has Internet access? Fifty percent of the children in urban households with an income
over $75,000 have Internet access, compared with 2 percent of the children in low-income, rural
households. Nearly half of college-educated people have Internet access, compared to 6 percent of
those with only some high school education. Forty percent of households with two parents have
access; 15 percent of female, single-parent households do. Thirty percent of white households, 11

percent of black households, and 13 percent of Hispanic households have access. Teens and children
are the two fastest-growing segments of Internet users. The digital divide between the populations
who have access to the Internet and information technology tools is based on income, race, education,
household type, and geographic location. Only 16 percent of the rural poor, rural and central city
minorities, young householders, and single parent female households are connected.
Another problem that exacerbates these disparities is that African-Americans, Hispanics,
and Native Americans hold few of the jobs in information technology. Women hold about 20
percent of these jobs and are receiving fewer than 30 percent of the computer science degrees.
The result is that women and members of the most oppressed ethnic groups are not eligible for
the jobs with the highest salaries at graduation. Baccalaureate candidates with degrees in
computer science were offered the highest salaries of all new college graduates in 1998 at
$44,949.
Do similar disparities exist in schools? More than 90 percent of all schools in the country are
wired with at least one Internet connection. The number of classrooms with Internet connections
differs by the income level of students. Using the percentage of students who are eligible for free lunches
at a school to determine income level, we see that nearly twice as many of the schools with more
affluent students have wired classrooms as those with high concentrations of low-income students.


Access to computers and the Internet will be important in reducing disparities between
groups. It will require greater equality across diverse groups whose members develop knowledge
and skills in computer and information technologies. If computers and the Internet are to be used
to promote equality, they will have to become accessible to populations that cannot currently
afford the equipment which needs to be updated every three years or so. However, access alone is
not enough. Students will have to be interacting with the technology in authentic settings. As
technology becomes a tool for learning in almost all courses taken by students, it will be seen as a
means to an end rather than an end in itself. If it is used in culturally relevant ways, all students
can benefit from its power.

C. To demonstrate that even technology like the telephone is not available to all

Question 40. According to paragraph 4, why are fewer women and minorities employed in the
field of computer technology?
A. They do not have an interest in technology.
B. They prefer training for jobs with higher salaries.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions.
Cooperation is the common endeavor of two or more people to perform a task or reach a
jointly cherished goal. Like competition and conflict, there are different forms of cooperation,
based on group organization and attitudes.
In the first form, known as primary cooperation, group and individual fuse. The group

contains nearly all of each individual’s life. The rewards of the group’s work are shared with each
member. There is an interlocking identity of individual, group and task performed. Means and
goals become one, for cooperation itself is valued.
While primary cooperation is most often characteristic of pre-literature societies,
secondary cooperation is characteristic of many modern societies. In secondary cooperation,
individuals devote only part of their lives to the group. Cooperation itself is not a value. Most
members of the group feel loyalty, but the welfare of the group is not the first consideration.
Members perform tasks so that they can separately enjoy the fruits of their cooperation in the
form of salary, prestige, or power. Business offices and professional athletic teams are examples of
secondary cooperation.
In the third type, called tertiary cooperation or accommodation, latent conflict underlies the
shared work. The attitudes of the cooperating parties are purely opportunistic: the organization is
loose and fragile. Accommodation involves common means to achieve antagonistic goals: it
breaks down when the common means cease to aid each party in reaching its goals. This is not,
strictly speaking, cooperation at all, and hence the somewhat contradictory term antagonistic
cooperation is sometimes used for this relationship.

A. To offer a brief definition of cooperation
B. To explain how cooperation differs from competition and conflict
C. To urge readers to cooperate more often
D. To show the importance of group organization and attitudes

B. It was confined to prehistoric times
C. It is usually the first stage of cooperation achieved by a group of individuals attempting to cooperate
D. It is most commonly seen among people who have not yet developed reading and writing
skills
Question 46. According to the passage, why do people join groups that practice secondary
cooperation?
A. To get rewards for themselves C. To experience the satisfaction of cooperation
B. To defeat a common enemy
D. To associate with people who have similar backgrounds
Question 47. Which of the following is an example of the third form of cooperation as it is defined
in the fourth paragraph?
A. Members of a farming community share work and the food that they grow
B. Two rival political parties temporarily work together to defeat a third party
C. Students form a study group so that all of them can improve their grades
D. A new business attempts to take customers away from an established company
Question 48. Which of the following is NOT given as a name for the third type of cooperation?
A. Accommodation
B. Latent conflict
C. Tertiary cooperation
D. Antagonistic cooperation
Question 49. The word fragile in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to_________.
A. poorly planned B. involuntaryC. inefficient
D. easily broken
Question 50. Which of the following best describes the overall organization of the passage?
A. The author presents the points of view of three experts on the same topic
B. The author compares and contrasts two types of human relations
C. The author describes a concept by analyzing its three forms
D. The author provides a number of concrete examples and then draws a conclusion
