(2016·山西省四校联考)
One of the founding fathers of the Internet has predicted the end of traditional television.Vint Cerf，who helped to build the Internet while working as a researcher in America，said that the television was approaching its “iPod moment”．
In the same way that people now download their favorite music onto their iPod，he said that viewers would soon be downloading most favorite programs onto their computers.“85% of all videos we watch are prerecorded，so you can set your system to download them all the time，” said Mr Cerf，who is now the vice president of Google，the world’s largest search engine.“You’re still going to need live television for certain things—like news，sporting events and emergencies—but increasingly it is going to be almost like the iPod.”
Although television on demand has not yet become a mainstream activity in the UK，the BBC，ITV and Channel 4 have all spent vast sums of money on technology which enables viewers to watch their favorite shows on their computers.
But some critics (批评人士)，including some Internet service providers，have warned that the Internet will collapse with millions of people downloading programs at the same time.Over the next four years，it is thought that the number of videos watched over the Internet will be four times as big as that.Broadband companies claim that the service will cause “traffic jams”，which will cost millions of pounds to get it to normal.
But Mr Cerf dismissed the warnings as “scare thoughts”，saying that critics had predicted 20 years ago that the Net would collapse when people all around the world started to use it all together.“In the past 30 years it’s increased a million times...We’re far from reaching the capacity，” he said，“It’s an understandable worry when they see huge amounts of information being moved around online.”
1．What would happen to television according to Vint Cerf?
A．Television would come to an end.
B．Television would be replaced by the computer.
C．Viewers would prefer watching TV programs downloaded on their computers.
D．Most people would prefer the Internet to television.
2．“iPod moment” refers to the time when________.
A．people can enjoy the live broadcast of television
B．people can download content to look at later
C．all programs are recorded with careful plan
D．the computer and television are closely combined
3．According to the last paragraph，Mr Cerf held the idea that______.
A．the Internet will collapse with many people downloading programs at the same time
B．the Net will collapse when people all around the world start to use it all together
C．the Internet service will break down with many videos watched over the Internet
D．people’s downloading TV programs on their computers won’t cause the collapse of the Internet
