单选题Many people are surprised when they find 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 a 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. 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 students. The Internet has now become one of the most important parts of people"s life.

单选题Mr. West wanted to buy his wife a Christmas (圣诞节) present, but he was always very busy, so he was never able to find time to go to the shops. At last when it was the week before Christmas, and the shops were very' crowded, he decided that he could not wait any longer. One day he didn't have lunch in a restaurant as usual. He bought some bread, ate it quickly, then went out to a big shop near his office. The shop was full of women who were also buying presents during their lunch hour. Mr. West stood politely at the edge (边，刀口) of a crowd (人群，挤满) of women who were pushing forward to try to get to the shop-assistants. He tried to move forwards slowly, taking his turn with the others, but more and more women were coming into the shop and pushing past him. After half an hour, he was just as far from the shop-assistants as he had been when he came (来，出现) in, and his lunch hour was coming to an end, so he decided to change his way of doing things. He put his head down, gave aloud shout and started to push his way towards the front of the crowd as hard as he could. The women around him became very angry, and began to shout at him, "ladies," he answered them, "I have been behaving (举动) like a gentleman (绅士) for the past hour, and it has got me nowhere (一事无成), so now I am starting to behave like a lady (夫人，女士)!/

单选题 Americans with small families own a small car or a large one. If both parents are working, they usually have two cars. If the family is large, one of the cars is sold and they will buy a van (住房汽车). Sometimes the children would like to call their grandparents to travel together. Mr. Bush and his wife just had a third child last year. So they have to sell their two old cars and buy a van. When they travel, they put some things on the sixth and seventh seat, because a family with three children must carry many suitcases (衣箱). And when they arrive at their grandparents' home, they can also carry their grandparents. During the travel, they can live in their van for a few days or weeks. All the members of a big family can enjoy a happy life when they are traveling together. Some people are even crazy about it. That is why vans have become very popular. In America there are also many parks for vans.

单选题Students who say they never or hardly ever used dictionaries often speak English well but usually write poorly, because they make many mistakes. The students who use dictionaries most do not learn especially well, either. The one who look up every new word do not read fast. Therefore they do not have time to read much. Those who use small two-language dictionaries have the worst problems. Their dictionaries often give only one or two words as a translation of English. But one English word often has many translations in a foreign language and one foreign word has many translations in English. The most successful students are those who use large college dictionaries with about 100,000 words but do not use them too often. When they are reading, these students first try to get the general idea and understand new words from the context (上下文). Then they reread and use the dictionary to look up only key words that they still do not understand. They use dictionaries more for writing. If they are not sure how to spell a word, or divide it into syllables (音节), they always use a dictionary. Also, if they think a noun might have an unusual plural form or a verb might have an un- usual past form, they check these in a dictionary.

单选题Long long ago, there was a young man who made his living by making tofu. One day, the tofu was not sold out. In order to keep the tofu fresh, he cut it into pieces and mixed some flavors (香料)in. Then he put it into a crock (瓦罐). Several days later, he opened the crock and found that the smell was terrible, but he tasted a piece. To his surprise, the taste was nice. An idea came into his mind (脑海) —maybe the smelly (臭的) tofu would be a kind of special food. As expected, the smelly tofu became popular with local people. Soon it was well-known all over the whole nation. Now smelly tofu is the most special food in Hunan. And it is recommended (推荐) to all the people around the world.
