佳选项.
A
You’ve probably heard a lot about the Internet，but what is it?
The Internet is a computer network that uses the telephone system to link together millions of computers around the world。

Maybe that doesn’t sound exciting,but once you’re connected to the Internet，there are lots and lots of different things you can do. You can send electronic messages or “E—mail" to your friends （as long as they’re on the Internet too）,or you can sort （挑出，拣出）through all sorts of information on something called the World Wide Web。

You don’t need to know how the Internet works in order to use it，but if you understand the basics,it may help you solve any technical problem you have—and of course you can impress your friends with your Net knowledge!
You may think that your telephone is just for talking。

But as long as you have the right equipment,you can use a telephone line to transmit computer data (数据）as well as sounds. If you plug your computer into the telephone system it can receive information from and send information to other computers (as long as they are plugged into the telephone system too）.
Computer data is made up of electronic signals （讯息）. A computer language called TCP/IP（which stands for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol，if you like to know these things）is used to
move computer data around the Internet. Many of the links，for example，those which send out computer data across the Atlantic Ocean，are special fiber optic cables (光导纤维电缆）,fiber optic cables use light to send out information。

They can carry a lot more data than an ordinary telephone line and they send it a lot faster！
36。

Which of the following is true？
A. The passage tells us something about the Internet。

B. The passage tells the reader how to use telephone line。

C. If we want to use the Internet，we must know how it works.
D. E—mail has no use.
37。

If your telephone is for talking，but you want to go on the Internet. What should you do？
A. Nothing.
B。

To have the right equipment,then use a telephone line to send out computer data as well as sounds。

C。

Ask your friend for help。

D。

Persuade someone not to use the telephone.
38。

If you have some basic knowledge of the Internet working，the writer of the text would most probably consider it .
A. possible B。

useless C。

unimportant D. helpful
39。

The underlined word “transmit” means .
A. send out B。

give away C. give up D。

leave out
40.What isn’t mentioned in the passage？
A。

What the Internet is。

B。

How big the Internet is. C。

Where you’d better go on the Internet。

D。

What the E—mail is.
B
If you can read a clock，you can know the time of the day。

But no one knows what time itself is。

One way to think about time is to imagine a world without time。

But there could be no movement，because time and movement cannot be separated.
In early human history, the only changes that seemed to repeat themselves evenly were the movements of objects in the sky. The most easily seen result of these movements was the difference between light and darkness. The sun rises in the eastern sky，producing light。

It moves across the sky and sinks in the west，causing darkness。

The appearance and disappearance of the sun was even and unfailing. The periods of light and darkness it created were the first accepted periods of time. We have named each period of light and darkness one day。

People saw the sun rise higher in the sky during the summer than in winter. They counted the days that passed from the sun’s highest position until it returned to that position。

They counted 365 days. We now know that is the time Earth takes to move once around the sun. we call this period of time a year。

They also developed a way to use the changing faces of the moon to tell time。

The moon was “full” when its face was bright and round. The
early humans counted the number of times the sun appeared between full moons。

They learned that this number always remained the same-——about 29 suns. We now know this period of time as one month。

Early humans hunted animals and gathered wild plants。

They moved in groups or tribes form place to place in search of good. Then, people learned to plant seeds and grow crops. As hunters，people did not need a way to measure time。

As farmers, however, they had to plant crops in time to harvest them before winter. They had to know when the seasons would change。

So, they developed calendars。

No one knows when the first calendar was developed. But it seems possible that it was based on moons, or lunar months.
41。

The underlined word “unfailing”（in para.2）is closest in meaning to “_______”.
A。

reliable B. everlasting C. limited D. changing
42。

Which of the following is NOT the method early people used to tell time？
A。

Sun position B. Sun lightness C。

Moon shape D. Planting crops
43。

Why did people invent the first calendar to measure time?
A. Because early humans hunted animals and gathered wild plants.
B。

Because early farmers had to grow and harvest crops in time。

C. Because early people had to plant crops and grow crops。

D. Because early humans moved in groups or tribes from place to place. 44。

Which of the following is TRUE?
A. Why early people developed calendars is not clear
B。

When the calendar was developed remains unknown。

C. What early people based the first calendar on is mysterious.
D. How early people counted a day is still unknown。

45。

It can be concluded from the text that ______。

A。

time and movement are loosely related even at present days
B。

the light and darkness differences of the sun were the only movements in sky
C。

the period of twenty-nine suns is called one month
D. early humans first accepted periods of time created by the moon。
