We are all busy talking about and using the Internet (互聯網), 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 (網路) 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' (瀏覽) the Internet more convenient.
Today it is easy to get on-line (上網) 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.
判斷下列句子是否符合短文內容，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 F
2. In the 1960s computer networks went wrong easily.
T F
3. Computers become cheaper so that many hospitals and banks were allowed to use them.
T F
4. People didn't have enough software to get on-line conveniently until the early 1990s.
T F
參考答案： 1．F 2．T 3．F 4．T
講解：
1．第二段開頭講互聯網是在60年代建立的，故至今歷史已超過30年。
2．文中第二段闡明計算機網路工作狀況不好(didn't work well)。
3．第三段中說明大學、醫院等都被允許使用電腦，然而，計算機仍然很貴，並且網路很難使用。
4．由第三段最後幾句介紹可知，到90年代，計算機便宜且好用。科學家也發展了軟體使網上瀏覽更方便。而本題干用了not…until句型，譯為「直到90年代早期人們才有足夠的軟體上網」。

「Cool」 is a word with many meanings. Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit cold. As the world has changed, the word has had many different meanings.
「Cool」 can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything. When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say 「It's cool.」You may think, 「He's so cool,」 when you see your favourite footballer.
We all maximize (擴大) the meaning of 「cool」. You can use it instead of many words such as 「new」 or 「surprising」. Here's an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. A teacher asked her students to write about the waterfall (瀑布) they had visited. On one student's paper was just the one sentence, 「It's so cool」. Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt.
But the story also shows a scarcity (缺乏) of words. Without 「cool」, some people have no words to show the same meaning. So it is quite important to keep some credibility (可信性). Can you think of many other words that make your life as colourful as the word 「cool」? I can. And I think they are also very cool.
1. We know that the word 「cool」 has ________.
A. only one meaning B. no meanings
C. many different meanings D. the same meaning
2. In the passage, the word 「express」 means「________」.
A. see B. show C. know D. feel
3. If you are ________ something, you may say, 「It's cool.」
A. interested in B. angry about
C. afraid of D. unhappy with
4. The writer takes an example to show he is _________ the way the word is used.
A. pleased with B. strange to
C. worried about D. careful with
5. In the passage, the writer suggests (暗示) that the word 「cool」_________.
A. can be used instead of many words
B. usually means something interesting
C. can make your life colourful
D. may not be as cool as it seems
參考答案 ： 1．C 2．B 3．A 4．C 5．D
講解：
1．見首句。
2．由「express」前後詞義關系可推斷出是「表達」的意思，與「show」同義。
3．由第二段首句可知。
4．由例子中的學生用cool 一詞概括出他的所有感受，知cool詞義的擴大會導致語言中詞彙的缺乏，是令人擔憂的。
5．結合第4題的答案可做出選擇。
參考答案 ： 1. A 2. D 3. A 4. D 5. C
講解：
1. 由短文最後一句「They had travelled 1,797 kilometres from London」可知，最接近「for nearly 1,800 kilometres」，因此選A。
2. 由短文第2段倒數第3句「So they were able to change its weight」可知答案為D。
3. 從第3段可以看出，越往上溫度越低，因此應選A。
4. 由短文最後一段倒數第2句「They came down in Poland...」可知答案為D。

If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they become weak; when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way.
When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.
If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame, and few of us know that it is just his own fault.
Have you ever found that some people can' t read or write but usually they have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things; they cannot write them down in a little notebook. They have to remember days, names, songs and stories; so their memory is the whole time being exercised.
So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: practise remembering.
1. The main reason for one's poor memory is that his parents have poor memories.
T F
2. If you don't use your arms or legs for some time, they will become strong.
T F
3. A good memory comes from more practice.
T F
4. Some people can't read or write, but they have better memories, because they have saved trouble.
T F
5. The best title of this passage is 「How to Have a Good Memory」.

One of the things I always believe is that no matter how bad something is, you can take something positive out of it. The one time I wasn』t sure of that was on September 11.
I usually wake up a 6:30 or 7:00 in the morning. That day, I happened to wake up earlier. I turned on the TV and I saw that a plane had crashed (撞擊) into the North Tower of the World Trade Center. My first reaction (反應) was that it was a terrible accident. Then I saw another plane fly into the South Tower and I realized that I was witnessing (目擊) an act of terrorism.
My wife and I spent the day watching the terrible pictures over again. When I watched family members looking for their loved ones, the pain in their eyes was something I would never forget. I couldn』t understand how something this terrible could have happened.
It wasn』t until a few weeks after September 11 that I began to see that perhaps some good did come from this tragedy (悲劇). People seem different now, more understanding, more tolerant(寬容的). Little things that seemed to be such a trouble before are no longer big things. Personally, I am more tolerant than I was. I realize life is too short, and too precious(珍貴的), to let myself get worried over small things. I』ve learned also that you can』t take things for granted. Things change in the blink of an eye. People go to work and don』t come back. One moment they』re living and the next minute they』re not. And, it doesn』t matter who you are, there is nothing you can do about it. We never know when our time here will be over, so we all need to make the most of every minute we have.
You try to learn from what happened. You can』t be used up by it. You can』t live by it. All you can do is just live.
1. The word 「positive」 in the passage probably means ______.
A. terrible B. bad C. good D. real
2. What did the writer see after he turned on the TV that morning?
A. A fire starting B. A plane flying
C. A terrible accident D. An act of terrorism.
3. From September 11, the writer had realized that___________.
A. people should make the most of every minute they have
B. he has become less tolerant towards others
C. he should get worried about little things
D. life is too short to care about others.
4. What』s the best title of this passage?
A. A Report about September 11
B. The Tragedy of September 11
C. September 11 and My Family
D. September 11 and My Turn.
參考答案
講解：
1. C 見第一行，不管（no matter）事情多糟，總能發現有益的東西。

New evidence shows that for children younger than 24 months, drinking lots of fruit juice (果汁) can be harmful. The liquid fills their tiny stomachs and ruins their appetite (胃口)for foods with needed nutrients (營養物)and calories. According to a study published in Pediatrics(小兒科), the resulting malnutrition(營養不良)can prevent babies from developing normally.
Dr.Fima Lifshitz and a colleague at Maimonides Medical Center in Brooklyn, N.Y., examined eight children, ages 14 months to 27 months, whose growth had lagged behind their peers』. Each was drinking 12 to 30 ounces of juice a day. After recording what else the children ate, researchers realized that the fruit beverages(飲料)accounted for 25 to 60 percent of the daily calorie consumption (熱能消耗量). Soon after parents gave their children less juice and more milk, the children gained weight.
Health professionals say babies under six months shouldn』t drink juice; some pediatricians (兒科醫師)suggest waiting until after the first birthday. Whenever they start, young children shouldn』t have more than a few ounces a day.
1. Drinking lots of fruit juice can be harmful for children younger than ______.
a. 6 months
b. 14 months

b. Their nutrient and calorie consumption will be greater.
c. They will not develop normally.
d. They can』t absorb the nutrients in fruit juice.
3. The sentence 「… whose growth had lagged behind their peers」 (in paragraph 2) means that the children ________.
a. moved more slowly than other children
b. developed more quickly than other children of the same age
c. looked thinner than other children of the same age
d. developed more slowly than other children of the same age
4. According to the experiment in paragraph 2, it seems that _______.
a. drinking less juice helps the babies gain weight
b. eating more food helps the babies gain weight

「It hurt me more than you,」 and 「This is for your own good.」 These are the statements my mother used to make years ago when I had to learn Latin, clean my room, stay home and do homework.
That was before we entered the permissive period in ecation in which we decided it was all right not to push our children to achieve their best in school. The schools and the ecators made it easy on us. They taught that it was all right to be parents who take a let-alone policy. We stopped making our children do homework. We gave them calculators, turned on the television, left the teaching to the teachers and went on holiday.
Now teachers, faced with children who have been developing at their own pace for the past 15 years, are realizing we』ve made a terrible mistake. One such teacher is Sharon Klompus who says of her students---「so inactive」---and wonders what happened. Nothing was demanded of them, she believes. Television, says Klompus, leads to children』s inactivity. 「We』re not training kids to work any more,」 says Kolmpus. 「We』re talking about a generation of kids who have never been hurt or hungry. They have learned somebody will always do it for them. Instead of saying 『go look it up』, you tell them the answer, it takes greater energy to say no to a kid.」
Yes, it does. It takes energy and it takes work. It』s time for parents to end their holiday and come back to work. It』s time to take the car away, to turn the TV off, to tell them it hurts you more than them but it』s for their own good. It』s time to start telling them 『no』 again.
6．We learn from the passage that the author』s mother used to ________.
a. demand her child to do too much hard work
b. be a teacher
c. be easy on her child
d. be strict with her child
7. By 「permissive period in ecation」 the author means a time ________.
a. when children achieve their best in school
b. when everything can be taught at school
c. when every child can be ecated
d. when children are allowed to do what they wish to
8. Children are becoming more inactive in study because ___________.

a. it is easier to say yes than to say no

Do you speak English?
你會講英語嗎？
I had an amusing experience last year. After I had left a small village in the south of France, I drove on to the next town. On the way, a young man waved to me. I stopped and he asked me for a lift. As soon as he had got into the car, I said good morning to him in French and he replied in the same language. Apart from a few words, I do not know any French at all. Neither of us spoke ring the journey. I had nearly reached the town, when the young man suddenly said, very slowly, "Do you speak English?' As I soon learnt, he was English himself!'
去年我有過一次有趣的經歷。在離開法國南部的一個小村莊後，我繼續駛往下一個城鎮。途中，一個青年人向我招手。我把車停下，他向我提出要求搭車。他一上車，我就用法語向他問早上好，他也同樣用法語回答我。除了個別幾個單詞外，我根本不會法語。旅途中我們誰也沒講話。就要到達那個鎮時，那青年突然開了口，慢慢地說道：「你會講英語嗎？」
我很快了解到，他自己就是個英國人！

After I had sat down, he said that business was very bad. He told me that the firm could not afford to pay such large salaries. Twenty people had already left. I knew that my turn had come.
'Mr.Harmsworth,' I said in a weak voice.
'Don't interrupt,' he said.
Then he smiled and told me I would receive an extra thousand pounds a year!
秘書告訴我說哈姆斯沃斯先生要見我。我走進他的辦公室，感到非常緊張。我進去的時候，他連頭也沒抬。待我坐下後，他說生意非常不景氣。他還告訴我，公司支付不起這么龐大的工資開支，有20個人已經離去。我知道這次該輪到我了。
「哈姆斯沃斯先生，」我無力地說。
「不要打斷我的話，」他說。
然後他微笑了一下告訴我說，我每年將得到1,000 英鎊的額外收入。
A polite request
彬彬有禮的要求
If you park your car in the wrong place, a traffic policeman will soon find it. You will be very lucky if he lets you go without a ticket. However, this does not always happen. Traffic police are sometimes very polite. During a holiday in Sweden, I found this note on my car: 'sir, we welcome you to our city. This is a "No Parking" area. You will enjoy your stay here if you pay attention to our street signs. This note is only a reminder.' If you receive a request like this, you cannot fail to obey it!
一旦你把汽車停錯了地方，交通警很快就會發現。如果他沒給你罰單就放你走了，算你走運。然而，情況並不都是這樣，交通警有時也很客氣。有一次在瑞典度假，我發現我的車上有這樣一個字條：「先生，歡迎您光臨我們的城市。此處是『禁止停車』區。如果您對我們街上的標牌稍加註意，您在此會過得很愉快的。謹此提請注意。」如果你收到這樣的懇求，你是不會不遵照執行的！

My aunt Jennifer is an actress. She must be at least thirty-five years old. In spite of this, she often appears on the stage as a young girl. Jennifer will have to take part in a new play soon. This time, she will be a girl of seventeen. In the play, she must appear in a bright red dress and long black stockings. Last year in another play, she had to wear short socks and a bright, orange-coloured dress. If anyone ever asks her how old she is, she always answers, 'Darling, it must be terrible to be grown up!'
我的姑姑詹妮弗是位演員，她至少也有35歲了。盡管如此，她卻常在舞台上扮演小姑娘。詹妮弗很快又要參加一個新劇的演出。這一次，她將扮演一個17歲的少女。演出時她必須穿一條鮮紅色的裙子和黑色的長筒襪。去年在演另一個劇時，她不得不穿短襪和一件鮮艷的橘紅色的衣服。一旦有人問起她有多大年紀，她總是回答：「親愛的，長成大人真可怕啊！」
He often does this!
他經常干這種事！
After I had had lunch at a village pub, I looked for my bag. I had left it on a chair beside the door and now it wasn't there! As I was looking for it, the landlord came in.
'Did you have a good meal?" he asked.
'Yes, thank you,' I answered, 'but I can't pay the bill. I haven't got my bag.'
The landlord smiled and immediately went out. In a few minutes he returned with my bag and gave it back to me.
'I'm very sorry,' he said. 'My dog had taken in into the garden. He often does this!'
我在一家鄉村小酒店吃過午飯後，就找我的提包。我曾把它放在門邊的椅子上，可這會兒不見了！當我正在尋找時，酒店老闆走了進來。
「您吃得好嗎？」他問。
「很好，謝謝。」我回答，「但我付不了帳，我的提包沒有了。」
酒店老闆笑了笑，馬上走了出去。一會兒工夫他拿著我的提包回來了，把它還給了我。
「實在抱歉，」他說，「我的狗把它弄到花園里去了，他常干這種事！」

'The play may begin at any moment,' I said.
'It may have begun already,' Susan answered.
I hurried to the ticket office. 'May I have two tickets please?' I asked.
'I'm sorry, we've sold out,' the girl said.
'What a pity!' Susan exclaimed.
Just then, a man hurried to the ticket office.
'Can I return these two tickets?' he asked.
'Certainly,' the girl said.
I went back to the ticket office at once.
'Could I have those two tickets please?' I asked.
'Certainly,' the girl said, 'but they're for next Wednesday's performance. Do you still want them?'
'I might as well have them,' I said sadly.
「劇馬上就要開演了，」我說。
「也許已經開演了呢，」蘇珊回答說。
我匆匆趕到售票處，問：「我可以買兩張票嗎？」
「對不起，票已售完。」那位姑娘說。
「真可惜！」蘇珊大聲說。
正在這時，一個男子匆匆奔向售票處。
「我可以退掉這兩張票嗎？」他問。
「當然可以，」那姑娘說。
我馬上又回到售票處。
「我可以買那兩張票嗎？」我問。
「當然可以，不過這兩張票是下星期三的，您是否還要呢？」
「我還是買下的好，」我垂頭喪氣地說。
One man in a boat
獨坐孤舟
Fishing is my favourite sport. I often fish for hours without catching anything. But this does not worry me. Some fishermen are unlucky. Instead of catching fish, they catch old boots and rubbish. I am even less lucky. I never catch anything -- not even old boots. After having spent whole mornings on the river, I always go home with an empty bag. 'You must give up fishing!' my friends say. 'It's a waste of time.' But they don't realize one important thing. I'm not really interested in fishing. I am only interested in sitting in a boat and doing nothing at all!
釣魚是我特別喜愛的一項運動。我經常一釣數小時卻一無所獲，但我從不為此煩惱。有些垂釣者就是不走運，他們往往魚釣不到，卻釣上來些舊靴子和垃圾。我的運氣甚至還不及他們。我什麼東西也未釣到過 -- 就連舊靴子也沒有。我總是在河上呆上整整一上午，然後空著袋子回家。「你可別再釣魚了！」我的朋友們說，「這是浪費時間。」然而他們沒有認識到重要的一點，我並不是真的對釣魚有興趣，我感興趣的只是獨坐孤舟，無所事事！

❽ 求10篇英語閱讀（高一），越短越好，要答案
AEarly one morning, more than a hundred years ago, an American inventor called Elias Howe finally fell asleep. He had been working all night on the design of a sewing machine but he had run into a very difficult problem: It seemed impossible to get the thread to run smoothly around the needle.Though he was tired, Howe slept badly. He turned and turned. Then he had a dream. He dreamt that he had been caught by terrible savages whose king wanted to kill him and eat him unless he could build a perfect sewing machine. When he tried to do so, Howe ran into the same problem as before. The thread kept getting caught around the needle. The king flew into the cage and ordered his soldiers to kill Howe. They came up towards him with their spears raised. But suddenly the inventor noticed something. There was a hole in the tip of each spear. The inventor awoke from the dream, realizing that he had just found the answer to the problem. Instead of trying to get the thread to run around the needle, he should make it run through a small hole in the center of the needle. This was the simple idea that finally made Howe design and build the first really practised sewing machine.Elias Howe was not the only one in finding the answer to his problem in this way.Thomas Edison, the inventor of the electric light, said his best ideas came into him in dreams. So did the great physicist Albert Einstein. Charlotte Bronte also drew in her dreams in writing Jane Eyre.To know the value of dreams, you have to understand what happens when you are asleep. Even then, a part of your mind is still working. This unconscious(無意識的), but still active part understands your experiences and goes to work on the problems you have had ring the day. It stores all sorts of information that you may have forgotten or never have really noticed. It is only when you fall asleep that this part of the brain can send messages to the part you use when you are awake. However, the unconscious part acts in a special way. It uses strange images which the conscious part may not understand at first. This is why dreams are sometimes called 「secret messages to ourselves」.1..According to the passage, Elias Howe was________.A. the first person we know of who solved problems in his sleepB. much more hard-working than other inventorsC. the first person to design a sewing machine that really workedD. the only person at the time who knew the value of dreams2.The problem Howe was trying to solve was________.A. what kind of thread to useB. how to design a needle which would not breakC. where to put the needleD. how to prevent the thread from getting caught around the needle3.Thomas Edison is spoken of because________.A. he also tried to invent a sewing machineB. he got some of his ideas from dreamsC. he was one of Howe』s best friendsD. he also had difficulty in falling asleep4.Dreams are sometimes called「secret messages to ourselves」 because___.A. strange images are used to communicate ideasB. images which have no meaning are usedC. we can never understand the real meaningD. only specially trained people can understand themBLanguage learning begins with listening. Children are greatly different in the amount of listening they do before they start speaking, and later starters are often long listeners .Most children will 「obey」 spoken instructions some time before they can speak, though the word 「obey」 is hardly accurate as a description of the eager and delighted cooperation usually shown by the child .Before they can speak, many children will also ask questions by gesture and by making questioning noises.Any attempt to study the development from the noises babies make to their first spoken words leads to considerable difficulties. It is agreed that they enjoy making noises, and that ring the first few months one or two noises sort themselves as particularly expressive as delight, pain, friendliness, and so on. But since these can』t be said to show the baby』s intention to communicate ,they can hardly be regarded as early forms of language. It is agreed, too, that from about three months they play with sounds for enjoyment, and that by six months they are able to add new words to their store. This self-imitation（模仿）leads on to deliberate（有意的）imitation of sounds made or words spoken to them by other people. The problem then arises as to the point at which one can say that these imitations can be considered as speech.It is a problem we need to get out teeth into. The meaning of a word depends on what a particular person means by it in a particular situation and it is clear that what a child means by a word will change as he gains more experience of the world .Thus the use at seven months of 「mama」 as a greeting for his mother cannot be dismissed as a meaningless sound simply because he also uses it at other times for his father, his dog, or anything else he likes. Playful and meaningless imitation of what other people say continues after the child has begun to speak for himself, I doubt, however whether anything is gained when parents take advantage of this ability in an attempt to teach new sounds .5.Before children start speaking________.A.they need equal amount of listeningB.they need different amounts of listeningC.they are all eager to cooperate with the alts by obeying spoken instructionsD.they can』t understand and obey the alt』s oral instructions6.Children who start speaking late ________.A.may have problems with their listeningB.probably do not hear enough language spoken around themC.usually pay close attention to what they hearD.often take a long time in learning to listen properly7.A baby』s first noises are ________.A.an expression of his moods and feelingsB.an early form of languageC.a sign that he means to tell you somethingD.an imitation of the speech of alts8.The problem of deciding at what point a baby』s imitations can be considered as speech________.A.is important because words have different meanings for different peopleB.is not especially important because the changeover takes place graallyC.is one that should be properly understood because the meaning of words changes with ageD.is one that should be completely ignored（忽略）because children』s use of words is often meaningless 9.The speaker implies________.A.parents can never hope to teach their children new soundsB.children no longer imitate people after they begin to speakC.children who are good at imitating learn new words more quicklyD.even after they have learnt to speak, children still enjoy imitatingCThe greatest recent changes have been in the lives of women. During the twentieth century there was an unusual shortening of the time of a woman』s life spent in caring for children. A woman marrying at the end of the 19th century would probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children, of whom four or five lived till they were five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, ring which custom, chance and health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a woman』s youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty. Even while she has the care of children ,her work is lightened by household appliances（家用電器）and convenience foods.This important change in women』s way of life has only recently begun to have its full effect on women』 s economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity and most of them took a full-time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age ,and though women tend to marry younger ,more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born.

我看了一上午的電視。電視節目和無聊。於是我給好朋友南西打電話，可她不在家。我不知道她去哪裡了。
十二點我餓了，可是冰箱里什麼食物都沒有。我很懶惰，也很勞累，於是我出去吃了午飯。一點我上床睡覺。下午我去了電影院。電影很無聊。很高興明天就是星期一了，我有可以返回學校見到我的好朋友了。
