Let us say there is something you don’t know how to do.

In the past if you were determined to learn, you might have called a friend or relative, taken a night class or walked down to the local library for a research term. But now a host of websites are springing up to provide free practical advice on these subjects and actually anything else you can think of.

In one sense,  these “how-to” sites represent(表明) a part of the growing world of online learning. This tradition found one of its earliest forms in the FAQs—or Frequently Asked Questions files— that began on Usenet,  the Internet’ s global discussion group. These FAQs,  many of which still circulate (go round continuously),  took a specific subject—and explained it to complete novices.

But “how-to” sites take the FAQs idea in a somewhat different direction by addressing subjects that aren’t necessarily related to discussion forums(論壇). These sites take the style of a written tutorial (teaching period) and a tone of friendly advice. Possibly the biggest and best known of these sites is learn2. com (www. learn2. com). It offers nearly 1000 free tutorials and adds new ones frequently for a job interview.

At ehow. com (www. ehow. com) you can learn how to train for your first marathon,  how to buy a vacation home,  or how to make a movie in eight steps.

1. The purpose of writing the passage is to ________________.

A. introduce new websites to people

B. teach how to take new courses by Internet

C. present new means to learn something you want to know

D. help you to solve any difficulty you meet with

2. “How-to” sites are set up to ________________.

A. explain FAQs to the public

B. help people to learn what they want to

C. tell the difference from discussion forums

D. complete the growing world of online learning

3. The underlined word “novices” in the passage probably means ________________.

A. experts who know a lot　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 

B. hosts of “how-to” sites

C. people without knowledge　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  

D. beginners of “how-to” sites

4. It can be inferred from the passage that ________________.

A. “how-to” sites are specially designed for the disabled

B. people can teach themselves at home by visiting “how-to” sites

C. it is pleasant to listen to the advice on “how-to” sites

D. you can just click your mouse at home to question anything

5. According to the text, if you want to buy a tent for camping you may ________________.

A. visit www. ehow. com　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  

B. visit www. learn2. com

C. visit the discussion forums　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

D. visit the FAQs

 

答案：C;B;D;B;A
提示：

1. C  通讀全文可知本題選C.

2. B  見文章第三段。

3. D  novices的意思是新手。

4. B  infer推斷。
