十九、Part B(总题数：1，分数：15.00)
is a graph showing the average number of hours a student spends on the computer per week.
Look at the graph and write an essay of about 120 words making reference to the following points:
(1)The change of the hours a student spends on the computer per week from 1995 to 2005;
(2) The possible reasons of the change and the problems and difficulties college students face
when they use computers.



（分数：15.00）
______________________________________________ ____________________________________________
正确答案：(

One possible version:
The graph shows the average number of hours a student spends on the computer per week. It can
be seen from the graph that in 1995 the average number was around 3 hours per week and five years
later in 2000, the number was almost 12 hours a week. By the year 2006 as many as 20 hours were
used every week.
A number of reasons can be given for the tremendous increase in the use of computers. Nowadays,
a computer is nothing more than an expensive typewriter. It can process pictures, music, sound
as well as words. The latest development of web has made computers so necessary to those who hope
to get information more quickly. And college students are among those who are eager to learn and
to learn fast. While computers are getting faster and smaller, their prices are coming down, which
means they are more affordable to college students.
Computers are powerful and convenient. Yet, considering the increasing number of college students,
more computers need to be installed at the college computer centers. On the other hand, students
who can use computers at their own will seem to be spending too many hours playing computer games,
which is a waste of computers.)
