Question

【題目】 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 in the 1960s. At that time, computers were large and expensive. Computer networks didn't work well. If one computer in the network broke down, then the whole network stopped. So a new network system 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, but in the early 1970s, universities, hospitals and banks were allowed to used it,too. However, computers were still very expensive and the Internet was difficult to use. Scientists had also developed software that made “surfing” the Internet more convenient.

Today it is easy to get on-line and it is said that millions of people use the Internet every day. Sending e-mail is more and more popular among the students. The Internet has now become one of the most important parts of people’s life.

【解析】

本文介紹了網(wǎng)絡的發(fā)展歷史，最初的操作十分繁雜并且只能供政府使用，如今它進入了人們的生活，變得方便快捷并供數(shù)無數(shù)人使用。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段“…the Internet was set up in the 1960s. At that time, computers were large and expensive. Computer networks didn't work well.”可知，在二十世紀六十年代，電腦又大又貴，網(wǎng)絡也并不好用，故選A。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段“So a new network system had to be set up…In this way computer network system would keep on working all the time.”可知，建立新的網(wǎng)絡系統(tǒng)是為了讓它能夠一直運行，故選B。

【3】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段“At first the Internet was only used by the government…”可知，網(wǎng)絡一開始只供政府使用，故選A。

【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段“…the Internet was set up in the 1960s…Computer networks didn't work well.”可知，在二十世紀六十年代網(wǎng)絡并不好用，A項錯誤；根據(jù)第二段“…in the early 1970s…computers were still very expensive and the Internet was difficult to use.”可知，在二十世紀七十年代網(wǎng)絡很難能使用到，B項錯誤；根據(jù)最后一段“Sending e-mail is more and more popular among the students.”可知，學生們越來越喜歡發(fā)電子郵件，使用網(wǎng)絡比以前更方便了，C項正確；根據(jù)最后一段“Today it is easy to get on-line…”可知，如今上網(wǎng)非常便捷，D項錯誤。故選C。

【5】最佳標題。根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容可知，本文從二十世紀六十年代網(wǎng)絡首次被建立開始，著重介紹了它的歷史和發(fā)展進程，D項最符合題意，故選D。
