21、 predicts B. preoccupies C. prevails D. predisposesA trade group for liquor retailers put out a press release with an alarming headline:“Millions of Kids Buy Internet Alcohol, Landmark Survey Reveals.”The announcement, from the Wine and Spirits Wholesalers of America received widemedia attention. On
22、 NBCs Today Show, Lea Thompson said, “According to a new onlinesurvey, one in 10 teenagers have an underage friend who has ordered beer, wine orliquor over the internet. More than a third think they can easily do it and nearlyhalf think they wont get caught.”Several newspapers mentioned the study,in
23、cluding USA Today and the Record of New Jersey. The news even made AustraliasGold Coast Bulletin.Are millions of kids really buying booze online？ To arrive at that jarring headline,the group used some questionable logic to pump up results from a survey that wasalready tilted in favor of finding a la
24、rge number of online buyer.For starters, consider the source. The trade group that commissioned the surveyhas long fought efforts to expand online sales of alcohol; its members are localdistributors who compete with online liquor sellers. Some of the news coveragepointed out that conflict of interes
25、t, though reports didnt delve more deeply intohow the numbers were computed.The Wine and Spirits Wholesalers of America hired Teenage Research Unlimited, aresearch company, to design the study. Teenage Research, in turn, hired San Diegopolling firm Luth Research to put the questions to 1,001 people
26、between the agesof 14 and 20in an online survey. Luth gets people to participate in its surveysin part by advertising them online and offering small cash awardstypically lessthan $ 5 for short surveys.People who agree to participate in online surveys are, by definition, internet users,something that
27、 not all teens are.（Also, people who actually take the time tocomplete such surveys may be more likely to be active, or heavy internet users. ）Its safe to say that kids who use the internet regularly are more likely to shoponline than those who dont. Teenage Research Unlimited told me it weighted th
28、esurvey results to adjust for age, sex, ethnicity and geography of respondents, buthad no way to adjust for degree of internet usage.Regardless, the survey found that, after weighting, just 2.1 points of the 1,001respondents bought alcohol onlinecompared, with 56 points who had consumedalcohol. Maki
29、ng the questionable assumption that their sample was representativeof all Americans aged 14 to 20 with access to the internetand not just those withthe time and inclination to participate in online surveys the researchersconcluded that 551,000 were buying alcohol online.But that falls far short of t
30、he reported“millions of kids” . To justify that headline,the wholesalers group focused on another part of the survey that asked respondentsif they knew a teen who had purchased alcohol online. Some 12 points said they did.Of course, its ridiculous to extrapolate from a state like thatone buyer could
31、be known by many people, and its impossible to measure overlap. Consider a highschool of 1,000 students, with 20 who have bought booze on line and 100 who knowabout the purchases. If 100 of the schools students are surveyed at random, youdexpect to find two who have bought and 10 who know someone wh
32、o hasbut that stillrepresents only two buyers, not 10 （Not to mention the fact that thinking you knowsomeone who has ordered beer online is quite different from ordering a six packyourself. ）Karen Gravois Elliott, a spokeswoman for the wholesalers group, told me, “Thenumbers are real,” but referred
33、questions about methodology to Teenage Research.When I asked her about the potential problems of conducting the survey online, shesaid the medium was a strength of the survey: “We specifically wanted to look atthe teenage online population.”Nahme Chokeir, a vice president of client service for San D
34、iego-based Luth ResearchInc., told me that some of his online panel comes from word of mouth, which wouldntnecessarily skew toward heavy internet users. He added that some clients designsurveys to screen respondents by online usage, though Teenage Research didnt.I asked Michael Wood, a vice presiden
35、t at Teenage Research who worked on the survey，whether one could say, as the liquor trade group did, that millions of teenagershad bought alcohol online. “You cant,” he replied, adding, “This is their pressrelease.”41Which of the following is the message that this passage is trying to convey？AThe se
36、vere social consequences of kids buying alcohol online.BThe hidden drawback of the American educational system.CThe influence of wide coverage of news media.DThe problems in statistic methodology in social survey.42 According to the author, what is wrong with the report about kids buying alcohol？AIt
37、 is unethical to offer cash awards to subjects of survey.BThe numbers in this report were falsified.C The samples and statistic methods were not used logically.DThe study designers and survey conductors were bribed.43Which of the following words is closest in meaning to the word “extrapolate”in para
38、graph 8？AConduct.B Infer.CDeduct.DWhittle.44By saying “To justify that headline, the wholesalers group focused on anotherpart of the survey that asked respondents if they knew a teen who had purchasedalcohol online”, the author implies that _.Ait is absurd to conduct a survey among teenagersBthe way
39、s the wholesalers group conducted surveys are statistically questionableCthis kinds of survey is preliminary, therefore undependableDteenagers might not be honest since buying alcohol online is an indecent behavior45Which of the following is more likely to be the source for problems in thissurvey？AT
40、his survey is tilted in favor of local alcohol distributors, who have a conflictof interest with online sellers.BThe data collection and analysis are not scientific and logical.CSubjects are not sampled in a right way and can not represent the whole Americanteenage population.DThe survey results are affected by gifts to subjects, which can be misleading.
