Question

【题目】We are all busy talking about and using the Internet, but how many of us know about 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(系统) 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 the 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 expensive and the Internet was difficult to use. By the start of the 1990s, computers become cheaper and easier to use. Scientists had also developed software(软件) that made “surfing(浏览)” the Internet more convenient (方便).

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.

【解析】

试题分析：我们都在忙着谈论和使用互联网，但是我们有多少人知道互联网的历史呢？本文讲述了电脑及网络的发展史。

【1】C 推理判断题。题意：互联网有多少年的历史了？ A. about 40 大约40年；B. less than 30不到30年；C. more than 45超过45年；D. nearly 35将近35年。从文中“the Internet was set up in the 1960s”（互联网成立于20世纪60年代）这句，1960s意思是20世纪60年代，即1960-1969这十年； 2015-1960＝55，2015-1969＝46，即至少都有46年了，故选C超过45年。

【2】B 细节理解题。题意：科学家建立新的网络系统是为了什么？A. make the computer cheaper使电脑更便宜； B. make the system work well使系统更好地运行；C. make the computer go well使电脑更好地运行； D. develop new softwares发展新的软件。根据短文第二自然段，建立新的网络系统是因为以前的系统在一台电脑出故障时，整个系统就无法运行。新的网络系统就是为了解决这个问题，故选B。

【3】D 细节理解题。题意：网络被广泛使用于什么时间？A.1960s；B.1970s；C.1980s；D.1990s。从文中这句“By the start of the 1990s, computers become cheaper and easier to use.”（在20世纪90年代初以前，电脑更便宜更便于使用了。）可以推测出，这时开始广泛使用。故选D。

【4】B 词义猜测题。题意：有下划线的“get on-line” 的汉语意思是什么？A.上机；B.上网；C.接线；；D.买电脑。句意：今天容易get on-line而且据说每天数百万的人用着互联网。容易推测出意思是“上网”。故选B。

【5】D 推理判断题。下面哪一个不对？A. In the 1960 s computer network system went wrong easily.在19世纪60年代，电脑系统容易出错；B. Computers are much cheaper than before.现在电脑比以前便宜多了；C. Today the Internet is used everywhere.现在到处使用网络；D. People had enough softwares to get on-line fifteen years ago. 15年前人们有足够多的上网软件。从第3自然段最后几句话可知，在20世纪90年代，电脑越来越便宜，使用起来越来越方便，而科学家们也发明了便于浏览网络的软件。说明以前的上网软件不方便，不多。故D不对。
