        We are all busy talking about and using the Internet, but how many of us know the history of the Internet?
        Many people are surprised when they find that the Internet was set up (建立) in the 1960s. At that time,
    computers were large and expensive. Computer network (网络) didn't work well. If one computer in the
    network broke down, then the whole network stopped. So a new network system (系统) had to be set up.
    It should be good enough to be used by many different computers. If part of the network was not working,
    information could be sent through another part. In this way computer network system would keep on working
    all the time.
        At first the Internet was only used by the government (政府), but in the early 1970s, universities, hospitals
    and banks were allowed to use it, too. However, computers were still very expensive and the Internet was
    difficult to use. By the start of 1990s, computers became cheaper and easier to use. Scientists had also
    developed software that made"surfing" the Internet easier.
        Today it is easy to get on-line and it is said that millions of people use the Internet every day. Sending e-mails
    is more and more popular among young people. The Internet has now become one of the most important parts
    of people's life.
    1. How long has the Internet been used?
    [     ]
    A. For about 10 years.
    B. For about 20 years.
    C. For about 40 years.
    D. For about 60 years.
    2. What would happen when one computer in the network broke down after the new network system was
        set up?
    [     ]
    A. The other computers would wait.
    B. The other computers would still work.
    C. Some of the others still worked.
    D. The other computers wouldn't work.
    3. What is true about computers in the 1990s?
    [     ]
    A. They became cheaper and easier to use.
    B. They became larger and larger.
    C. People couldn't buy them anywhere.
    D. People could get information only from them.
    4. What can we infer (推断) from the last sentence?
    [     ]
    A. People will die without the Internet.    
    B. All people should set up (建立) their own network.
    C. People live easily without the Internet.      
    D. People will more and more depend on (依赖) the Internet.
    5. Which is the best title (题目) for this passage?
    [     ]
    A. The History of the Internet
    B. Computers and Information
    C. Computers and the Government
    D. The History of Computers

         June 5 is World Environment Day. This makes us pay more attention to (更注意) our enveironment and
    we need to protect it.
         When Wang Boxuan, a Beijing high schoolboy, uses up (用尽) his exercise books, he does not throw
    them away. Each one is stored at his school with hundreds of exercise books given by other students. Then
    they are sold to a Beijing paper making factory.   
         The paper is recycled and used again by students and teachers in the school. At the same time, the money
    made from the sales goes towards schools in Inner Mongolia for planting trees and grass. This place is one
    of the sources (源头) of the sandstorms that often attack Beijing during springtime.   
         Wang's school is one of the schools in the capital that take part in the "green promise (承诺)"
    environmental protection (保护) activity. So far, nearly 210,000 students have taken part in the activity,
    collecting more than 87 tons (吨) of waste paper.   
         With the Olympic Games coming to Beijing in 2008, students are eager (渴望) to help make the capital a
    more pleasant place.   
        "There are some environment problems in the city, such as sandstorms," said Wang. "We should do our
    duty and encourage others to do so as well."   
         Vice-Premier (副总理) Zeng Peiyan has written a letter to the teachers and students to encourage them
    to go on supporting (支持) environmental protection.
    1. What do Wang Boxuan and his schoolmates do with the waste exercise books?
    [     ]
    A.Throw them away. 
    B.Store and sell them.  
    C.Cut them into pieces.
    D.Give them to the students in Inner Mongolia.
    2. What is the money used for?
    [     ]
    A.Buying new exercise books.   
    B.Helping poor students.  
    C.Planting trees and grass.   
    D.Being stored.
    3. What can we infer (推断) from the third paragraph (段落)?
    [     ]
    A.Many years later, students will have no exercise books to use.   
    B.Many years later, there will be no waste paper.   
    C.Many years later, the sandstorms will be weaker in Beijing.   
    D.Many years later, Beijing will be much dirtier.
    4. Choose the right order (顺序) according to (根据) this passage?   
        ①Trees and grass were planted.   
        ②Schools in Inner Mongolia received the money.    
        ③Students collected waste paper.

    [     ]
    A.③②④①  
    B.②①④③  
    C.②①③④  
    D.③②①④
    5. Which is the best title (题目) for the passage?

  • 阅读下面短文,用括号内所给动词的适当形式填空。(必要时加助动词或情态动词)
         The other day I heard an American say to a Chinese student of English "You speak good English." But
    the student answered, "No, no. My English is very poor." The foreigner was quite surprised at the answer.
    Thinking he had not made himself (1)           (understand) or the student had not heard him clearly, he said,
    "Yes, indeed, you speak very well." But the Chinese student still kept (2)           (say) "No." In the end the
    foreigner gave up and (3)           ( not know)what to say.
         What is wrong with the student's answer? It is because he didn't accept a compliment (称赞) as the
    English people (4)           (do). He should have said "Thank you!" instead of "No". In fact he knew what
    the American had said. But he was afraid that people would think he was too proud. According to the
    Western culture, if someone says the dishes you (5)           (cook) are very delicious, you (6)           (say)
    "Thank you." If someone says to a woman "You look so beautiful with the new clothes on", she should be
    very happy and answer "Thank you" In our country we think being modest (谦虚) is a good thing, but in
    the west, if you are modest and often say "No", then the others (7)           (agree) that you really cannot
    do it, and you may (8)           (treat) unfairly (不公平地) by others. If asking for a job, one says something
    like "Yes, I can certainly do it" instead of "Let me have a try on the job." He or she will expect (9)         
     (get) it. So in the west, one should always be confident. Without self-confidence, he can't go anywhere.
    Confidence (10)           (be) one of great importance to one in a country where competition is quite hard.
