Internet shopping is a new way of shopping. You no longer need to walk round hundreds of shops looking for the items you need. Nowadays, you can shop for just about anything from your armchair. All you need is a computer which is linked to the Internet. Shopping on the Internet is becoming increasingly popular. In the United States, 50 percent of families have computers at home and almost one third are linked to the Internet. Americans spent over US $ 2.5 billion on Internet shopping in 1998. This figure is expected to reach US $ 11 billion by the year 2004.

People can shop for a variety of products on the Internet. Physical products include items such as books, CDs, clothes and food. These types of products are the most common purchases(购入品) through the Internet. You can also buy information products such as on-line news or magazine stories, or you can download computer software through the Internet. Services such as booking airline tickets, reserving(预定) hotels or renting cars are also available(可得到的) on the Internet. You can also go shopping on the Internet for entertainment services and take part in on-line games or e-mail “chats”.

To find something on the Internet, people often use powerful computer tools called “search engines”. You can search for a type of product, such as sports shoes, or a brand name, such as Nike. The search engine will give you a list of websites where you can find these products. These websites may be specialist shops such as Nike shop, or they may be general stores, called malls, which sell a variety of goods.

Internet shopping offers a number of benefits(好处) for the shopper. The most important advantage is convenience. You can shop when you like, as the on-line shops are open 24 hours a day, and you do not have to queue with other shoppers at the check-out counters. Secondly, it is easy to find what you are looking for on the Internet. Even out-of-print books may be ordered on line. Finally, it is often cheaper to buy goods through the Internet, and you can tell the shop exactly what you want.

The main disadvantage of Internet shopping is that you cannot actually see the products you are buying or check their quality. Also, many people enjoy shopping in the city and miss the opportunity to talk to friends. Some people are worried about paying for goods using credit cards, so Internet companies are now finding ways to make on-line payment safe.

Internet shopping is sure to become more and more popular in the years ahead. It promises to change the way we buy all kinds of things-from tonight’s dinner to a new car.

Computers Help Fire Fighters

In Kansas City, Missouri, a computer helps fire fighters. The computer contains information about every one of the 35, 000 street addresses in the city. When fire fighters answer a call, the computer will give them important information about the burning building, its position and almost all the ways of helping fire fighters with the problems facing them. For example, it can give medical information about invalids living in a burning building. With this information, the fire fighters can take special care to find these sick persons and carry them away quickly and safely.

The Kansas City computer system also keeps a medical record of each of the city’s 9, 000 fire fighters. This kind of information is especially useful when a hospital can treat the injured. With this information, doctors at the hospital can treat the injured fire fighters more quickly and easily.

答案与解析

Ⅰ. 单项选择

1—5 CBADB　　　 6—10 AACAA 　　　11—15 DCBBA

解 析：

1. 当有although, though时，后面的从句不能再有but。

2. keep up专门用来指天气持续的情况。

注意下列固定说法：

I don’t think so. = I think not.

I don’t suppose so. = I suppose not.

I don’t expect so. = I expect not.

但是我们只能说：I believe not. I hope not. I’m afraid not.

3. Share one’s opinion指“同意某人的观点”;agree是不及物动词。

4. 含有省略to的动词不定式作宾补的句子变为被动语态时，不定式符号to应加上。

5. in my opinion在某人看来;in a way在某种程度上, 稍稍。

6. 考查这一结构：cannot / never too / over + adj. / adv = cannot / never be / do + adj.

/ adv. + enough。表示“越……越好;再……也不过分”。

7. goes by (从……旁)走过, 依照, 顺便走访;句意：随着时间的流逝，你将会学到更多。

8. 当对一件事的发生表示惊奇和难以相信时，可以说：I can’t believe it. (我真不敢相信这是真

的。) ;当对别人的观点表示同意时，常用的答语是：I believe so. (我想会的;我想是的);如果

不同意，可以说：I believe not.或I don’t believe so. (我想不会;我想不是)。I don’t

believe it.的意思是“我不相信这件事”。

9. information是不可数名词，不可与an连用。故排除B、D项;have a word with sb是“与某人谈

话”之意，而have words with sb是“与某人吵架”之意。依据句意，选A。

10. 句意：我已经被告诉这个消息是由一个小孩编造的。只能选择被动，只能选择A.C根据题意是现在

时态，故选A。

11. 本题考查习惯表达法。After all表示终究;毕竟。

12. 句意为：看到车子陷进雪堆，司机不知道怎么办。从句意看，应该使用do with或deal with，但do

with不可与how连用。

13. It指前面提到的某个橱柜;another指另外一个;根据题意可知Peter用木料做了一个，因此用

one，相当于a cupboard。

14. 句意为：我乘末班车从城里赶回来，但Harry回来得更晚。

15. 本题考查冠词的用法，第二空应该用不定冠词，表示泛指。句意为：在我国一些地区，人们用散发

红鸡蛋的方法来庆贺孩子的出生。

Ⅱ. 完形填空

9. say, speak后若接人，应加介词to，排除A、B;warn意为“警告”，与句意不符，排除D。

故只选C。

10. 火车要在铁轨上走。

11. short of意为“缺少”;empty of意为“空的”;without意为“没有”;根据上下文，此处是向

人们阐述火车的用途，不应是不载货、不带客的，故排除A、C、D。

4. 文章前四段说的是网上购物的优点，第五段说的是它的缺点。

5. 在国外，地址通常是由小到大来排列的。例如美国，可以从城镇、州、国家这样排列，因而可判断
