Question

阅读下列短文，从各题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
　　The Internet joins millions of computers all over the world, and today it is used by people all over the world. It was invented in the 1960s in the USA. The American government needed a network of computers for its army. Then in the 1970s scientists and businesspeople also wanted to use the Internet to send and receive messages. For some years, they weren't allowed to use the US network, and when they were allowed to, the messages were in very simple text without photos.
　　The World Wide Web was invented by a British scientist named Tim Berners-Lee in 1989. He wanted to send documents to other scientists, so he developed the World Wide Web. This allowed him to send and receive scientific documents with text, drawings and photos (also called multimedia documents). In the 1990s, more and more people began to use the Internet and the World Wide Web.
　　So what's the difference between the Internet and the World Wide Web? The Internet is the hardware. It allows us to communicate with other people. The World Wide Web is the software. It allows us to create, see and read multimedia documents.
　　The web is made up of millions of documents called web pages. These pages are held in computers all over the world. Many people have a favourite website with a number of web pages on the same subject.
　　Email is a way of using your computer to send and receive messages. It's cheaper and quicker to use email than send normal mail. New users call normal mail “snail mail” because it's so slow!
　　It took 50 years for 100 million people to listen to the radio. It took 15 years for 100 million people to watch television. By the year 2000, it had taken only about three years for 100 million people to use the Internet. What will happen next on the Internet?

Answer 1

【分析】1. 由第一段第三句The American government needed a network of computers for its army.可知，起初互联网是为了美国军队而发明的。\n2. 由第二段This allowed him to send and receive scientific documents可知，万维网是被发明用作传送与接收科学文献的。\n3. 由第二段最后一句In the 1990s, more and more people began to use...可知，互联网和万维网是在20世纪90年代得到广泛使用的。\n4. 最后一段文意：一亿人花了50年听上了广播。一亿人花了15年看上了电视。到2000年，一亿人只花了3年使用上了互联网。下面紧接着互联网上又会发生什么呢？综上所述可推知，作者写这段文字是为了表明：互联网的使用传播迅速。\n5. 结合全文大意可知，此文最好的标题应为“互联网的发展”。
