Question

【題目】Computer technology has its own special words. One example is the word “mouse”. A computer mouse is not a small animal that lives in buildings or open fields. It is a small object that you move around on a flat surface in front of a computer. The mouse moves the pointer on the computer screen. Computer expert (專家) Douglas Engelbart developed the idea of the mouse in the early 1960s. It was called a mouse because it had a tail at one end. The tail was the wire (電線) that connected it to the computer.

Using a computer takes some training. People who are experts are sometimes called hackers. A hacker is usually a person who writes software programs in a special computer language. But the word “hacker” is also used to describe a person who tries to steal information from computer systems.

Another well known computer word is Google, spelled g-o-o-g-l-e. It is the name of a popular “search engine(引擎)”for the Internet. People use the search engine to find information about almost any subjects on the Internet. People who started the company named it Google because in mathematics, googol, spelled g-o-o-g-o-l, is an extremely large number. It is the number followed by one hundred zeros.

When you “Google” a subject, you can get a large amount of information about it. Some people like to Google their friends or themselves to see how many times their names appear on the Internet. If you Google someone, you might find that person’s name on a blog. A blog is the shortened name for a Weblog. A blog is a personal Web page. It may have stories, opinions , pictures and links(鏈接) to other Web sites. Some people add information to their blogs every day. People who have blogs are called bloggers.

Blogs are not the same as spam. Spam is unwanted sales messages sent to your electronic mailbox...

【解析】

試題解析：這是一篇關(guān)于電腦語(yǔ)言的文章，主要寫了mouse（鼠標(biāo)），Hacker（黑客），Google（谷歌），blog（部落格），Spam（垃圾郵件）這幾個(gè)電腦新詞的出現(xiàn)及意思，由來(lái)等。

【1】推理判斷題。由第一段最后一句“It was called a mouse because it had a tail at one end. The tail was the wire (電線) that connected it to the computer.“它之所以叫做鼠標(biāo)是因?yàn)樗�的一端有條尾巴，這條尾巴就是與電腦連接的電纜，可知，自鼠標(biāo)出現(xiàn)開始，就一直有電纜。故選項(xiàng)A排除。由第二段第四句“But the word “hacker” is also used to describe a person who tries to steal information from computer systems.可知，黑客也用來(lái)形容那些試圖從電腦系統(tǒng)中竊取信息的人，而并不僅僅指會(huì)寫特殊電腦語(yǔ)言的人。故選項(xiàng)C排除。由第一段第三句“A computer mouse is not a small animal that lives in buildings or open fields.”可知，電腦老鼠并不是指生活在建筑物或開放牧場(chǎng)里的小動(dòng)物，而是指用來(lái)點(diǎn)擊電腦屏幕的鼠標(biāo)，并且文中并沒(méi)有提到這能吸引人們?nèi)ネ骐娔X游戲。因此，老鼠并不能吸引很多人玩電腦游戲。選項(xiàng)D排除。故選B

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第三段第四句“People who started the company named it Google because in mathematics, googol, spelled g-o-o-g-o-l, is an extremely large number.“可知，最初將公司命名為Google是因?yàn)閿?shù)學(xué)運(yùn)算。因?yàn)镚oogol拼寫為：g-o-o-g-o-l，是10的100次方，這是一個(gè)極大的數(shù)字。所以命名為Google是因?yàn)檫@個(gè)單詞代表的是數(shù)學(xué)里的一個(gè)極大的數(shù)字。故選D。

【3】推理判斷題。由最后一段“Blogs are not the same as spam. Spam is unwanted sales messages sent to your electronic mailbox...“，部落格和垃圾郵件不是一樣的。Spam（垃圾郵件）是指發(fā)到你的電子郵箱里但你并不想要的營(yíng)銷類信息，可知，最后一段主要是在說(shuō)Spam，并且在結(jié)尾處用的省略號(hào)，所以接下來(lái)的一段應(yīng)該是寫關(guān)于Spam的。故選A。

【4】標(biāo)題選擇題。全文主要講了一下幾個(gè)網(wǎng)絡(luò)新詞：mouse（鼠標(biāo)），Hacker（黑客），Google（谷歌），blog（部落格），Spam（垃圾郵件）。所以文章的標(biāo)題應(yīng)為：特別的網(wǎng)絡(luò)詞語(yǔ)。故選D。
