We use the Internet for many things: business, shopping, writing letters, talking to people, finding information and so on. In recent years, a new kind of English has grown on the Internet. There's no real word for it yet, so we'll call it e-talk.

　　People don't like typing too much. To save time, they turn phrases into a few letters (called acronyms). Acronyms are often used in chat rooms（聊天室）. Some of them are:

BTW (by the way)

BRB (be right back)

LOL (laughing out loud)

IMO (in my opinion)

　　People also use many abbreviations. They are shortened forms of words. Some common abbreviations are:

info (information)

puter (computer)

pic (picture)

sec (second)

　　We usually don't see people when we communicate（交流）on the Net, so people have new ways to show feelings. Most people use their keyboards to draw“feelings”, such as:

:-) (happy)

;-) (joking)

:-( (sad)

:-O (surprised)

　　These days, many forums（論壇）have picture feelings. For example:

　　There are even whole new words, like “newbies” (someone who is new on a chat board or forum). When you write something bad about someone else, it's called “flaming” the person.

　　It takes time for people to get used to（適應(yīng)）e-talk. Also, different groups on the Net have their own special ways of communicating. Newbies sometimes have to ask other people what they mean. As the Internet grows, e-talk will continue to grow and change.

(1)Why do people type acronyms?

[　　]

A．To show their feelings.

B．To make jokes.

C．Because people can type them quickly.

D．In this way newbies won't understand them.

(2)What does BTW, my puter is not working well. :-( mean?

[　　]

A．The person is happy about getting a new computer.

B．The person has to go away from their computer.

C．The person is angry at somebody.

D．The person is sad that his computer is having problems.

(3)If someone is angry, what may he type?

[　　]

A．

B．

C．LOL.

D．BRB.

(4)E-talk will probably ______

[　　]

A．keep changing

B．stay the same

C．be used by people on the telephone

D．be easy for newbies to understand

(5)The best title for this passage is ______.

[　　]

A．E-talk

B．Picture Feelings

C．How to Use Abbreviations

D．The Changing Internet

答案：C;D;B;A;A
解析：

(1)由第二段 People don't like typing too much. To save time, they turn phrases into a few letters. 可知。

(2)綜合考查這些縮略語(yǔ)和表情符號(hào)的意思可知。

(3)由文中圖案知。

(4)由文中最后一句話 As the Internet grows, e-talk will continue to grow and change. 可知。

(5)綜合文意可知。
