问题         The concept of information superhighway has been around for more than a decade, but until 1993 it was merely a technological imagination.Today information superhighway has become an everyday topic and is making its entry into our lives.
        Information superhighway is an unprecedented nationwide, or worldwide, electronic communications network that connects everyone to everyone else, and provides just about any sort of electronic communication imaginable.Hook up your computer to the Internet and you are on your information superhighway.The purpose of information superhighway is to provide remote electronic banking, schooling, shopping, taxpaying, game playing, video conferencing, movie ordering, medical diagnosing, etc.Information superhighway will make many things you do easier and more convenient.For example, instead of calling your friends one by one to tell them the party is canceled, you’ 11 simply send a single e-mail message to everyone at once.And if you live in a rural area far from a major hospital, telemedicine may allow a specialist in London to diagnose you without your having to travel farther than to your local physician’ s clinic.Information superhighway may also pull together newspaper and magazine articles from around the world on a particular topic of your own interests.If you like to shop with someone who lives in another city, you may call him and then do some shopping together for an hour or two.
        Whether you like it or not, information superhighway will change the way we live. [br] What does the phrase "do some shopping" in the last sentence of Para.2 properly means?
选项
答案 It probably means buying things from shops by using a computer at home
解析 题意：第二段最后一句话中的短语“do some shopping”的含义可能是什么？文中第二段最后一句话“If you like to shop with someone who lives in another city, you may call him and then do some shopping together for an hour or two.”意为“如果你想和住在另一个城市的人一起购物，你也许可以呼叫他，然后在一两个小时后一起do some shopping（购物）”。由于你想要一起购物的对象住在另一个城市，所以这里的do some shopping指的是在家用电脑上网购物,故答案为“It probably means buying things from shops by using a computer at home.（它的意思可能是在家用电脑从商店里买东西。）”。
