A[来源:学科网]
Computers are useful machines. They can help people a lot in their daily life. For example, they can help people to save much time to do much work, and they can help people to work out many problems they can’t do easily. Our country asks everyone to learn to use computers except the old people.
Today more and more families own computers. Parents buy computers for their children. They hope that computers can help them to improve their studies at school. But many of their children use computers to play games and watch videos. For most students, computers can not help them to study better but make them fall behind. So computers are locked in boxes by parents.
In some other countries, even some scientists also hate computers. They say computers let millions of people lose their jobs or bring them a lot of trouble. Will computers really bring trouble to people or can they bring people happiness? It will be decided by people themselves!

The Internet is becoming important in our life. How much do you know about it? The following questions and their answers will help you to know more about the Internet.
What is the Internet?
The Internet is a large, world-wide collection (聚集) of computer networks (网络). A network is a small group of computers put together. The Internet is many different kinds of networks from all over the world. These networks are called the Internet. If you have learned to use the Internet, you can have a lot of interest on the World Wide Web (网) .
What is the World Wide Web?
The World Wide Web has been the most popular development of the Internet. It is like a big electronic (电子) book with millions of pages. These pages are called homepages. You can find information about almost anything in the world on these pages. For example, you can use the Internet instead of a library to find information for your homework. You can also find information about your favourite sport or film star, talk to your friends or even do some shopping on the pages. Most pages have words, pictures and even sound or music.
What is e-mail?
Electronic mail (e-mail) is a way of sending messages to other people. It’s much quicker and cheaper than sending a letter. If you want to use e-mail, you must have an e-mail address. This address must have letters and dots (点) and an @ (means “at”). For example: Lily @ Yahoo.com. Write a message, type a person’s e-mail address, and then send the message across the Internet. People don’t need to use stamps, envelopes or go to the post office because of the invention of the Internet. Quick, easy and interesting — that’s the Internet.

People all over the world eat rice. 1 people in Asia (亚洲), Africa (非洲) and South America 2 it every day of their lives. Some people almost don’t eat 3 except rice.
Rice is a kind of 4 .There are more than 7, 000 kinds of rice. Most kinds are water plants. Farmers 5 rice in many countries even in the southern part of Russia and in eastern Australia.
No one really knows where rice 6 . Someone in China wrote about it almost 5,000 years ago. Some scientists (科学家) think that rice 7 in West Africa first, but 8 think it 9 from India and then was 10 to other parts of the world.
1. A. Thousands of B. Hundreds of
C. Millions of D. A million of
2. A. eat B. eats C. eaten D. is eaten
3. A. everything B. something C. anything D. nothing
4. A. grass B. fruit C. flower D. vegetable

8. A. another B. other C. the other D. others
9. A. came B. come C. was come D. was coming
10. A. planted B. taken C. kept D. grown

1. 【答案】C millions of意为“数百万的”，A、B两项数值太小，D项表达错误。
2. 【答案】A eat意为“吃”，空格后的it指代上文提到的rice，在此处作eat的宾语，因此应该用主动语态；又因为people作主语时谓语动词应该用复数形式，故填eat。
3. 【答案】C anything意为“任何东西”，通常用于否定句和疑问句中，本句是一个否定句，因此填anything。
4. 【答案】A 由常识可知大米是草本植物，因此grass符合语境。
5. 【答案】D grow意为“种植（庄稼等）”。
6. 【答案】A come from意为“来自（某地）”，相当于be from。
7. 【答案】D grow与rice之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，所以当rice作主语时，句子应该用被动语态；又因为谓语动词所表示的动作发生在过去，所以应该用过去式，因此填was grown。
8. 【答案】D others=other scientists，与前面的some scientists相对应。
9. 【答案】A 此处是固定短语come from，时态上应该用一般过去时，因此填came。
10. 【答案】B be taken to sp.意为“被带到某地”，符合语境。
