Passage One
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage。
In the early days of the internet； many people worried that as people in the rich world embraced new computing and communications technologies； people in the poor world would be left stranded on the wrong side of a “digital divide。” Yet the debate over the digital divide is founded on a myth—that plugging poor countries into the internet will help them to become rich rapidly。
This is highly unlikely； because the digital divide is not a problem in itself； but a symptom of deeper； more important divides： of income； development and literacy。 Fewer people in poor countries than in rich ones own computers and have acomess to the internet simply because they are too poor； are illiterate； or have other more immediate concerns； such as food； health care and security。 So even if it were possible to wave a magic wand and cause a computer to appear in every household on earth； it would not achieve very much： a computer is not useful if you have no food or electricity and cannot read。 Yet such wand…waving—through the construction of specific local infrastructure projects such as rural telecenters—is just the sort of thing for which the UN’s new fund is intended。
This sort of thing is the wrong way to go about addressing the inequality in acomess to digital technologies： it is treating the symptoms； rather than the underlying causes。 The benefits of building rural computing centers； for example； are unclear。 Rather than trying to close the divide for the sake of it； the more sensible goal is to determine how best to use technology to promote bottom…up development。 And the answer to that question turns out to be remarkably clear： by promoting the spread not of PCs and the internet； but of mobile phones。

Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage。
“Someday；” Andy Warhol once mused； “all department stores will become museums； and all museums will become department stores。” If this has not happened literally； it has practically。 Look at the recent debut of a shop…within…a…shop at the SoHo branch of the MoMA Design Store： the first North American Muji outlet。 A consumer…goods chain with 280 stores in Japan； Muji has managed to stake out space in something so presumably untouchable as a museum design boutique partly because the 270 or so objects for sale in the SoHo store are “appealing； useful and essential” items for the “design…savvy consumer。” These include office supplies and storage pieces； but also items like a very clever set of 42 cardboard speakers。 The Muji style is sleek； clean； unfussy and； at least by some standards； affordable。
The name Muji is a shortening of Mujirushi Ryohin； which translates to “no…brand goods。” Emphasizing quality design； sensible use of materials and utilitarian practicality； Muji uses the slogan “Lower Priced for a Reason。” While the stereotype of the logo… obsessed Japanese consumer lingers； unadorned Muji has thrived。 In fact； from the original line of 40 Muji products； the company now offers more than 5；000 — everything from clothing to bicycles to furniture to packaged food。
Museum stores have lately become more savvy about sell
