Bill is not a fast runner and he doesn't have a chance of winning the marathon, but he will _____ the race even if he finishes last.

　　A. keep on    B. keep to    C. stick out    D. stick to

C


解析:

stick out(=keep on doing sth。until it is done，no matter how long，hard，or unpleasant) 堅(jiān)持下去: Mathematics is hard，but if you stick it out you will understanding it(=Mathematics is hard，but if you keep on working hard at it you will learn it.) 此外，stick on 還可表示 (stand out) 突出: The skyscraper sticks out against the bkue sky.(這幢摩 天大樓映著藍(lán)圖顯得格外突出.)

　　[注意] stick out與keep to 均有“堅(jiān)持”的含義。stick out 特指“堅(jiān)持下功夫 干一件事，不完成決不收兵”；而keep to 則強(qiáng)調(diào)“堅(jiān)持、遵守、堅(jiān)守”諾言、 規(guī)則、原則、精神、崗位�？梢�(jiàn)，keep to 的英文釋義為 ability by；adhere to，stick closely to。例如: keep to one's promise(遵守諾言)；keep to the rules of a game(遵守比賽規(guī)則)；keep to a principle(堅(jiān)持原則)；keep one's pos(堅(jiān)守崗位)。因此，我們可以說(shuō)keep to相當(dāng)于 stick to，而區(qū)別于 stick out.

Explosive sound and energy

　　ROCK music didn’t exist 60 years ago．　　1　　 Someone didn’t just wake up and invent rock．So, how did it happen? What is rock?Although impossible to strictly define, it’s generally recognized that rock music was born in 1950s America．　　2　　 At this time, early “rockers”were mixing the country music of white America with the rhythm and blues sound loved by the black US citizens．The result was rock‘n’ roll．The record most commonly considered as the beginning of the rock ‘n’ roll period is Bill Haley & The Comets’1954 recording of “Rock Around the Clock”．　　3　　 Elvis’s 1950s recordings established the basic language of rock ‘n’ roll; his explosive stage presence set standards for the music’s visual image, while his voice was powerful and interesting．

　　　　4　　 Despite the different directions and sound of rock bands over the last 50 years, there is something common to all the greats：a charming lead vocalist, a talented guitarist full of energy and creativity, a bassist with cool indifference and a drummer．

　　For most of its life, rock has been split into different parts, creating new styles every few years－giving birth to a never-ending number of sub-genres．　　5　　Rock is a generic term, but it’s exciting that it can now mean so many different things．

A．Rock is my favorite and I’ll be a popular singer．

B．Now, it’s one of the world’s most popular genres．But musical styles don’t spring up overnight．

C．Rock had a specific sound and image for only a few of its early years．As time went by, the genre began to place equal emphasis on skills and pushing the boundaries of the music．

D．In fact, in the West, musically speaking, the years 1953～1955 are known as the rock ‘n’ roll years．

E．As a result, “rock”has been used to describe everything from bands playing catchy rhythms to groups based on tuneless, noisy guitars．

F．Rock music will be held in our school if we send an invitation to the band．

G．But it was Elvis Presley, known as “The King of Rock and Roll”, who really popularized the new sound throughout America and the Western world．

D

　　Build the highway and watch the town grow.At first a few shops appear and maybe a restaurant.Then a hotel opens. Eventually new house are built. A village is born.

　　This is also how the virtual world has developed. Think of the Internet as the road carrying information between two computers.Think of the World Wide Web as the village. At first it is just a place on the virtual road where travelers meet. More travelers come bringing new kinds of information. New travelers come bringing new kinds of information.New villages are started.

　　Every willage has a founder.Tim Berners-Lee is the man who wrote the software programme that led to the foundation of the Word Wide Web.How did he get the idea? He tells us on his own web site. "One of the things computers were not able to do was store in formation from different sources. The dream behind the Web is of a common space in which we communicate by sharing information."

　　In 1991 his programmmes were placed on to the Internet.Everyone was welcome to use them.

　　Tim Berners-Lee could have followed the Microsoft route by forming a company to sell the programmes he invented. Or he could have joined another company. But in his view the Web is a language,not a pproduct. Charging a gee for using his programmes would have slowed the growth of the Web.And other companies would make similar products to compete. Instead of one World Wide Web there would be several smaller Webs. Each would use incompatible (不相容的) software. They Web is valuable because it uses a common computer language to reach people and share information. Competing webs would lose this value.Imagine if somebody sent you a bill every time you spoke a world of English.

　　In 1994 Tim Berners-Lee formed the World Wide Web Consortium,or W3C.More than 200 leading companies and laboratories are represented by W3C. Together they make sure that everyone, no matter what their equipment or solftware,can work equally on the Web.

　　"The Web can help people to understand the way that others live and love. It helps us understand the humanity of people," he says.

　　68.The writer's purpose in writing the first two paragraphs is to ______.

　　　A.give us some idea of the Internet

　　　B.give us some idea of the Web

　　　C.tell us how the idea of Web started

　　　D.tell us the idea of the Web is wonderful

　　　A.place his programmers on the Internet

　　　B.stop smaller webs appearing
