And you"ve got a sense of humor about short forms like SOHF(="sense" of humor failure) to describe Internet newcomers who don"t understand you.
Across the globe, every night teenagers and their elders are “talking” online—many of them are talking at the same time.
It"s fast: try talking to six people at once. It"s brief: three or four words per exchange. It takes wit, concentration, and quick fingers.
And it requires tremendous linguistic economy. There"s neither time nor space for explanations. Why consume precious key-strokes telling six friends you have to leave for a moment to take care of your little brother when BRB(="be" right back) will do? Want to enter a conversation? Just type PMFJI(="pardon" me for jumping in). Interested in whom you"re talking to? Type A/S/L, the nearly universal request to know your pal"s age, sex and location. You may get 15/M/NY as a response from your pal.
If something makes you laugh, say you"re OTF(="on" the floor),or LOL(="laughing" out loud),or combine the two into ROTFL(="rolling" on the floor laughing).
And when it"s time to get back to work or go to bed, you type GTG(="got" to go) or TTYL(talk to you later).
People want to write as fast as possible, and they want to get their ideas across as quickly as they can. Capital letters are left in the dust, except when expressing emotion, as it takes more time to hold down the “shift” key and capitals. Punctuation is going, too.
小题1:In order to talk to several people at the same time on the Internet_______.
A.you have to speak fast and fluently |
B.you have to express your ideas in a brief way |
C.you should speak with wit and humor |
D.one should pay much attention to the accuracy of the words |
A.the person on the other end is 17 from New York and he is fine |
B.you are talking to a girl who is 17 and lives in New York |
C.you are talking to 17 girls who are from New York |
D.the person who are talking to you is a 1.7-foot tall New York girl |
A.some people leave their letters in the dustbin |
B.some people never use “shift” in their writing |
C.many people leave the capital and punctuation |
D.people seldom use capital letters or punctuation |
答案
小题1:B

解析
试题分析:文章介绍了在网上聊天的时候,同时和很多人聊天,需要简单的表达方式,作者举了很多例子说明如何运用缩写的方式表达一定的含义。
小题1:细节题,从第一段you have become one of the millions who write in a peculiarly short form of English.可知要想同时和几个人交谈,需要用简单的方式表达。可知选B。
小题2:细节题:从本句“Type A/S/L, the nearly universal request to know you pal’s age, sex and location.” 可知“A/S/L”是“age, sex and location”的缩写。可知这是住在纽约的一个17岁的女孩。选B。
小题1:细节题:最后一段“…left in the dust”意思是“丢在脑后” 。按下“Shift”键键入大写字母太费 时间,因此聊友常常不使用大写字母,标点符号也省掉了。选D。
点评:文章介绍了在网上聊天的时候,同时和很多人聊天,需要简单的表达方式,作者举了很多例子说明如何运用缩写的方式表达一定的含义。做好阅读理解需要考生有较综合的知识和能力。上述短文内容较长,且描述较为复杂、抽象,若仅靠想象作答后面的题目势必非常困难,若将文章内容加以分析整理,使抽象的文字具体化,答案就一目了然了。

Suppose, for example, that we wish to find out the height of the water-tower, AB, in a factory. We first of all go to where the water-tower is standing and measure a distance of, say, 25 feet from it. Then we take a stick, and stand it in the ground at the spot we have just marked.
Let us suppose the stick we are using is 4 feet in height. We now walk farther away from the water –tower in the same straight line as when we measured off the distance of 25 feet. We go from the water-tower until we come to point E, where with our head on the ground, we see the top of the stick and the top of the water-tower in the same height line---that is, the top of the stick just covers the highest part of the water-tower. Every schoolboy can work out the height of the water-tower now.
Suppose that the line CE is five feet. We know that the stick is 4 feet high and the distance BE is 30 feet. Thus, 5 is to 4 as 30 is to AB.
小题1:If we want to know how high a tall tree is,_______.
A. we have to climb up the tree
B. we have no way out
C. we must cut down the tree
D we needn’t climb up the tree
小题2: According to the passage, which of the following is correct?
小题3:It is clear from this that the problem can be settled by _________.
A.a child |
B.the boy who has little schooling |
C.everyone |
D.a girl at middle school |
A.no tool is needed |
B.Besides a stick, tape-measure (卷尺) or at least a ruler is necessary. |
C.we have to use nothing but a stick |
D.we have to prepare a set of expensive tools |
But after a careful check you may find that most energy drinks have lots of caffeine(咖啡碱)in them. These drinks are especially aimed at young people, students, busy people and sports players. Makers sometimes say their drinks make you better at sports and can keep you awake. But be careful not to drink too much. Caffeine makes your heart beat fast. Because of this, the International Olympic Committee(IOC) has limited(限制) its use. Caffeine in most energy drinks is at least as strong as that in a cup of coffee or tea. Possible health dangers have something to do with energy drinks. Just one box of energy drink can make you nervous, have difficulty sleeping and can even cause heart problems. Scientists say that teenagers should be discouraged from taking drinks with a lot of caffeine in them.

Every zoo animal enjoys its own specific: well-balanced food. We hope that you enjoy some great food treats on your zoo visit, but please do not feed any of our animals. Our keepers work strictly on this.
Feel free to take personal photos and make videos. However, any commercial photography or filming needs written permissions from zoo management.
Not all animals are permitted in the zoo grounds. We welcome people with guide dogs, but they must contact us ahead of time about their visit. Please phone the Zoo Information Center on +64(0)9-360-3805.

Ncell, a branch company of Swedish phone giant TeliaSonera, said on Thursday it had set up a high-speed third-generation (3G) phone base station at an altitude of 5,200 metres in the Everest region.
“Today we made the world’s highest video call from Mount Everest base camp successfully. The coverage (覆盖范围) of the network will reach up to the peak of Mount Everest,” Ncell Nepal chief Pasi Koistinen told reporters in Kathmandu.
The installation (安装) will also help tens of thousands of tourists and hikers who visit the world’s highest mountain every year.
Climbers who reached its 8,848-metre peak previously depended on expensive satellite phones and a voice-only network set up by China Mobile in 2007 on the Chinese side of the mountain.
“This is a great milestone for mobile communications as the 3G high speed Internet will bring faster, more affordable telecommunication services from the world’s tallest mountain,” said Lars Nyberg, chief executive of TeliaSonera, which owns 80 percent of Ncell.
The 3G services will be fast enough to make video calls and use the Internet, said the company, which also claimed the world’s lowest 3G base at 1,400 metres below sea level in a mine in Europe.
Despite the installation in Mount Everest, telecom services cover less than one-third of the 28 million people of Nepal, one of the poorest countries in the world.
TeliaSonera said it planned to invest $ 100 million in the next year to ensure that mobile coverage increases to more than 90 per cent of the Himalayan nation’s population.
The 3G network on Mount Everest puts TeliaSonera ahead of state-controlled Nepal Telecom, Indian-owned United Telecom and China Mobile.
Around 3,000 people have climbed to the Everest summit since Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay became the first people to conquer the peak in 1953.
小题1:Who are most likely to benefit from the 3G services at Mount Everest?
A.The telecom firm. | B.The local residents. |
C.Travelers to Nepal. | D.Mount Everest explorers. |
A.are fast and convenient | B.are a little expensive |
C.can make voice-only calls | D.offer free emailing |
A.80 percent of it is owned by Ncell |
B.It belongs to Nepal Telecom. |
C.It is in the charge of Pasi Koistinen |
D.It provides services for Pasi Koistinen. |
A.Telecommunication in Nepal |
B.3G services reach Mt. Everest summit |
C.TeliaSonera takes lead in communication |
D.Good news for hikers and climbers |
Social support cushions stress in a number of ways.First, friends, relatives and coworkers may let us know that they value us.Our self respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others despite our faults and difficulties.Second, other people often provide us with informational support.They help us to explain and understand our problems and find solutions to them.Third, we typically find social companionship supportive.Engaging in leisure time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distract(转移…注意力)us from our worries and troubles.Finally, other people may give us important support—financial aid, material resources, and needed services—that reduces stress by helping us solve and deal with our problems.

A.the social medical system |
