科目:初中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源: 題型:

    The Vieira family moved to the United States in 1981. At that time,they decided to stop speaking Spanish at home and only communicate in English. This was because they were now living in an Eng-lish-speaking country.

    Now the Vieira children are adults,and they sometimes travel to Spain to visit their family and

friends. But they cannot communicate with them. Unfortunately this is common. When people move to new countries,they often leave their own customs and mother language behind. This is a mistake because there are many benefits to know more than one language.

    One advantage of speaking more than one language is that you can communicate directly with more people around the world. You do not have to depend on others to talk for you,so you re more independent. People who know only one language must use others to help them communicate.

    Furthermore,speaking a second language also allows people to experience other cultures and cus-toms more effectively. Local expressions,vocabulary,and even jokes can have a powerful effect on a person's understanding of another culture. So,knowing more than one language increases your knowledge of other cultures.

     Finally,having more multi-language speakers improves relationships between countries. If people from different countries can communicate well? the world can become closer. Countries will then have more respect for each other and better understand each other's problems.

    The benefits of knowing more than one language are clear. In fact,there are no disadvantages. It is very sad that many people don't try to learn another language. It is even worse when people let themselves forget their mother language and become silenced.

() 1. What is the passage mainly about?

   A. The benefits of learning other languages. B. The reasons why people come to America.

   C. The importance of learning English. D. How to learn another language.

() 2. The passage begins with the experience of the Vieira family in order to.

   A. discuss the need for teaching a new language

   B. introduce the passage's main characters to the readers

   C. describe the advantages of moving to another country

   D. show the problems of speaking only one language

() 3. The underlined phrase “multi-language speakers”(Paragraph 5) means “people who know

   A. their mother language   B. a new language

   C. more than one language   D. body language

() 4. According to the passage,if you can speak more than one language,you can.

   A. find a better job   B. make more friends

   C. better understand history   D. communicate more independently

() 5. Based on the last paragraph,which of the following is the worst?

   A. Not knowing another language. B. Forgetting one's mother language.

科目:初中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源: 題型:

   1990 was a significant year in world events. In February,Nelson Mandela was set free after 27 years in prison. In October,East and West Germany became one country again. Then at the end of 1990,the World Wide Web was born. For this final event we have one man to thank,Tim Berners-Lee,the father of the Web.

    Berners-Lee was born on June 8 ,1955 in London,England. His parents,both computer designers,encouraged him to think and work creatively as he grew up. He was an excellent student and naturally took an interest in computers and science.

    After graduating from Oxford University,Tim went to work at a science research Center in Switzerland. There he developed some of the different systems that would later become the Web. The first was HTML,the computer language used to make web pages. The second was an address system that let computers anywhere find each other and send and receive information. In 1990,while still at the science center in Switzerland,he put them together to make the first Internet browser. It could run on any computer and allowed people to share their information with the rest of the world.

    Tim knew that the more people used the Web,the more useful it would be. He wasn5t interested in money but knowledge,so he gave out his invention for free to anyone who was interested. Many were interested and the growth of the Internet began.

   Today Tim works as a professor at the MIT in America,researching new and interesting ways to use the Web. He has received many awards from governments and organizations for his efforts. He is still not very interested in money. That is why he is so admired by his students and workmates. It may also be one of the reasons that few people outside the world of technology know his name.

() 1. The underlined word “significant”(in Paragraph 1) most probably means “ ”.

   A. strange   B. terrible   C. important   D. difficult

() 2. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

   A. The address system was used to make web pages.

   B. The World Wide Web was created in Switzerland.

   C. The first web browser was very expensive to buy.

   D. Many people could use the Internet before1990.

() 3. What can we learn about Berners-Lee from the passage?

   A. He was encouraged to be creative.    B. He didn't do well at school.

   C. He is a very poor businessman.       D. He is well-known all over the world.

() 4. Where does Berners-Lee live today?

   A. England.     B. Switzerland.   C. America.    D. Canada.

() 5. What is the passage mainly about?
