阅读理解2We are all busy talking about and using the Internet (互联网), 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 (网络) 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 use it too. However, computers were still very expensive and the Internet was difficult to use. By the start of the 1990s, computers became cheaper and easier to use. Scientists had also developed software that made 'surfing' (浏览) the Internet more convenient.Today it is easy to get on-line (上网) and it is said that millions of people use the Internet everyday. Sending e-mail is more and more popular among students.The Internet has now become one of the most important parts of people's life.判断下列句子是否符合短文内容，符合的用“T”表示，不符合的用“F”表示。

l. The Internet has a history of less than thirty years.T F2. In the 1960s computer networks went wrong easily.T F3. Computers become cheaper so that many hospitals and banks were allowed to use them.T F4. People didn't have enough software to get on-line conveniently until the early 1990s.T F参考答案：1．F2．T3．F4．T讲解：1．第二段开头讲互联网是在60年代建立的，故至今历史已超过30年。

2．文中第二段阐明计算机网络工作状况不好(didn't work well)。

3．第三段中说明大学、医院等都被允许使用电脑，然而，计算机仍然很贵，并且网络很难使用。

4．由第三段最后几句介绍可知，到90年代，计算机便宜且好用。

科学家也发展了软件使网上浏览更方便。

而本题干用了not…until句型，译为“直到90年代早期人们才有足够的软件上网”。

But after a little practice he found that he was becoming very skilled and soon he was making some of the finest tacks.Old Mr. Smith died and the son on account of the war lost all his goods. He had to leave home and wasforced to live in another country. It so happened that in this village there were many shoemakers who were spending a lot of money buying tacks for their shoes and even at times when they paid high prices they were not always able to get what they wanted, because in that part of the country there was a high demand for soldiers’ shoes.Our young Mr. Smith, who was finding it difficult to earn his daily bread, remembered that once upon a time he had learned the art of making tacks and had the sudden idea of making a bargain with the shoemakers. He told them that he would make the tacks if they would help to get him settled in the workshop. The shoemakers were only too glad of the offer.

Then, some people learned to grow crops and raise animals for food. They were the first farmers.From the sixteenth century on, the word “farm” has meant agricultural land. But a much older meaning of the word “farm” is linked to economics. The word “farm” comes from the Latin word “firma”, which means an unchanging payment. E xperts say the earliest meaning of the English word “farm” was a yearly payment made as a tax or rent.Farmers in early England did not own their land. They paid every year to use agricultural lands. In England, farmers used hawthorn trees along the edges of houses. They called this row of hawthorns a hedge. Hedging fields was how careful farmers marked and protected them. Soon, people began to use the word “hedging” to describe steps that could be taken to protect against financial loss. Hedging is common among gamblers who make large bets. A gambler bets a lot of money on one team. But, to be on the safe side, he also places a smaller bet on the other team, to reduce a possible loss.You might say that someone is hedging his bet when he invests in several different kinds of business. One business may fail, but likely not all. Farmers know that it is necessary to make hay while the sun shines. Hay has to be cut and gathered when it is dry. So a wise farmer never postpones gathering his hay when the sun is shining. Rain may soon appear. A wise person copies the farmer. He works when conditions are right.1.We can know from the 3rd paragraph that farmers in early England _________.A. had land of their ownB. paid to use hawthorn trees every yearC. used hedging fieldsD. often suffered from financial loss2.Which of the following is wise?A. A mother tries to sleep as soon as her baby is quietB. Hay has to be cut and gathered before it is dryC. Put off gathering hay when the sun is shiningD. Gather hay as it is rainy3.If a boy is carefully listening to his teacher in class, he learns to _________.A. become a wise farmerB. hedge his betC. gather his hayD. make hay while the sun shines答案：CAD6My grandfather is eighty years old. He always complains about how fast things have changed, and he often says that life used to be better."Families aren't what they used to be. A lot of families have broken up. If the husband and wife have problems with their marriage, they no longer stay together. And mothers used to stay at home and take care of their children, but now parents are both busy working. No one has time to look after children at home.And the cars! No one walks anymore. More and more people drive. We used to walk five miles to school on school days, even in winter. But now we don't. And in school, children don't have to think anymore. In math class, for example, we used to add, subtract, multiply and divide by using our heads. But now kids don't use their heads anymore. Instead, they use calculators.Most families have computers now. In the past we didn't have computers. We didn't even have lights. My mother used to spend all day cooking in the kitchen. But now we don't often eat home-cooked food.And people talk less to each other than before. They are too busy to talk, too busy to eat, too busy to think...Life used to be simple, but it isn't anymore."1. What does the grandfather think of the life now?A. It's as good as it used to beB. It's worse than it used to beC. It's better than it used to beD. It's the same as it used to be2. What does the underlined word "marriage" mean in Chinese?A. 生活B. 工作C. 婚姻D. 家庭3. What did the grandfather used to do?A. He used to use calculators in math classB. He used to drive to school in winterC. He used to go to school by bikeD. He used to walk five miles to school4. What changes have happened?①There are lights at home②People often eat home-cooked food now③Lots of families have computers④More and more people drive instead of walkingA. ①②④B. ②③④C. ①②③D. ①③④5. Which of the following is TURE?A. Life now is much simplerB. People have more time to talk with each other nowC. The grandfather only complains and pays no attention to the better life nowD.

Her parent, the Mattel Company, said that 90G of all American girls between 3 and 10 have at least one Barbie at home.However, Barbie is facing some trouble at present.

She looks more like today's pop stars with heavy makeup（浓妆） and miniskirts. And her company offers more kinds of clothes.It seems that Barbie has lost her magic among older girls. "For younger girls, playing with a Barbie is much funnier. But when you get older, you want something smarter and more modern," says Vera Shepherd, a shop assistant of a toy store in New York.It is good news that on the international market, Barbie is still No. 1. Although Mattel is selling fewer Barbies in the United States these years, sales in other countries are still going up. Mattel opened its first Barbie store in Shanghai, where girls can shop, eat, drink or even become fashion designers for their own Barbies.Mattel is planning big celebrations for Barbie's 58th birthday. Fashion designers from all over the world have been called to make new dresses for Barbie. How long will Barbie stay popular in the world of toy dolls?

Proverbs are popular around the world.Many listeners have sent us their favorite proverbs. They give advice about how to live. We begin with two popular proverbs about staying healthy by eating good food. One is" An apple a day keeps the doctor away." The other is" You are what you eat."Several proverbs about birds also give advice. You may have heard this one: The early bird catches the worm. This means a person who gets up early, or acts quickly, has the best chance of success. Another famous proverb is" a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush". This means you should not risk losing something you have by searching something that is not guaranteed（有保证的）.Another proverb warns "do not put all your eggs in one basket". This means you should not put all of your resources（资源） together in one place because you could risk losing everything at one time.Here is more advice: If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Also," Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today."Yet another proverb advises us not to be concerned about something bad that you cannot change. It says," There is no use crying over spilled milk."Do you agree with the proverb" Children should be seen and not heard"? Maybe you have told your children that" hard work never hurt anyone". But other people say that" all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy". They believe it is not wise to spend all your time working but never having fun.Finally, here is one of our favorite pro-verbs: People who live in glass houses should not throw stones. This means you should not criticize other people unless you are perfect yourself.That's all for today. Thanks for listening.（1）A proverb is ________.A. a long sayingB. not famous at allC. about common truthD. only popular in China（2）The proverb "you are what you eat" advises us to ________.A. eat what we likeB. have a healthy dietC. eat an apple every dayD. eat as much as we can（3）If someone is slow in action, we can tell him/her the proverb "________".A. the early bird catches the wormB. do not put all your eggs in one basketC. all work and no play makes Jack a dull boyD. people who live in glass houses should not throw stones（4）What is this passage probably used for?A.
