Computers are very important to modern life. Many people think that in the future computers will be used in lots of fields in our life. It is thought that we won't have to go shopping because we can get most things on the Internet. There will be no more books because we can get all texts from computers. The Internet will be used to play games, watch films and buy food. Most telephone calls will be made by computers, too.
Some people are glad about these new ways of shopping and communicating. Others do not think that computers will replace our old ways.
Let's look at books, for example. Some people think that one day we will not read books made of paper. Instead, we will buy and read books by using computers. We will read texts on small pocket computers. The computers will keep many different books in them at the same time. We won't need to turn lots of pages and paper will be saved. Computerized books will be used more and more.
Is the Internet shopping such a pleasure as going to the shop? Many people say it is not. It is a pleasure to go into shops and look at things you want to buy. It is also unlikely that many people will want to read large texts on our computers. Paper books will perhaps be more friendly. Maybe computers won't change these two habits.

【題目】根據(jù)材料內(nèi)容，選擇正確答案。
D
Christopher Columbus is famous because he found something he wasn't looking for.
In 1492, Columbus sailed across the Atlantic Ocean in order to reach India. What he found was something far different. He found the New World. How did this come about? It all started in Italy.
Christopher Columbus was born in Genoa in 1451. His family didn't have a lot of money, and Christopher wasn't an only child. He didn't have much of an education until he was much older. Instead, he went to sea. He sailed around the Mediterranean(地中海) and as far north as England and Ireland.
During his travels, Columbus heard the reports of land to the west of the Madeira and Azores Islands. They were in the Atlantic Ocean west of Portugal. He wanted to know more and got maps and books on geography.
Marco Polo said that Japan was only 1,500 miles east of China. As a result, Columbus thought that Japan was only 3,000 miles west of Portugal. And 3,000 miles was a distance that ships could travel in those days.
So, Columbus decided that he wanted to get to the East by going west. He thought that if he sailed far enough west, he would sail around the world enough to reach the East. Based on his calculations(計(jì)算), Japan was only 3,000 miles away, after all.
（1）Where did Columbus want to go when he sailed across the Atlantic Ocean in 1492?
A.America.
B.India.
C.Japan.
D.China.
（2）Which of the following is true according to the third paragraph?
A.There were many people in Columbus' family.
B.Columbus was an only boy of his parents.
C.Columbus did well in school when he was young.
D.Columbus once traveled to Ireland.
（3）During his travels, Columbus was interested in .
A.geography
B.physics
C.chemistry
D.history
（4）We can infer from the passage that .
A.Columbus had a dream to visit America
B.Marco Polo was a great traveler from Portugal
C.Columbus had the idea that earth was round
D.nobody believed Columbus could reach China
（5）The passage is mainly about .
A.Columbus's childhood
B.the reports of Azores Islands
C.how Columbus began his sail
