The idea for the Internet began in the early 1960s in the United States. The Department of Defense wanted to connect their computers together in order to share private information. In 1969, the ARPA net (an early form of the Internet) first connected computers at four American universities. One computer successfully sent information to another. In 1972, scientists shared ARPA net with the world. They created a way to send persontoperson messages using ARPA net.

Now I'd like to tell you something about my parttime job this summer vacation, of which I worked like a guide in a travel agency. The work was interesting but tired. I think it was helpful to work this holiday. It was the first time that I have earned money on my own. I've come to understand how hard my parents work to support for the family. I used to keep on ask them for money, but now I'll never waste money and learn to share worry with my
parent.
I've learnt how to get along well with others. What's worse, I've gained some working and social experience and I have learnt something can't be learnt from textbooks. All these will be good for my future. In a word, I had the wonderful and valuable summer vacation.

Somehow Rey had managed to struggle free from the rope around his neck, after being left to die a slow death as punishment for being a bad Spanish greyhound.
It is believed that 50,000 greyhounds are killed by their
owners in Spain each year after they grow too old, or turn out to be too slow to hunt with. Dogs have also been found thrown into wells, burnt alive and even injected with poison. But Rey's intended fate was, even within the levels of cruelty usually shown to Spanish hunting dogs, especially cruel. The rope around his neck had been set at a height so that his front paws could not touch the ground, meaning that he was intended to stand on his back legs until he was too tired to support himself. When his legs finally became too tired, the rope should have done its work.
“They call it the typewriting death, because the dog's back legs struggled against the ground and make the clicking sound of a typewriter,” said Albert Sorde, of the SOS Galgos greyhound rescue group. “It is a punishment for greyhounds that are thought to have made their owners lose face. ”
“Rey's throat was severely damaged but we managed to find a vet to operate and, though it was expensive, he survived,” he said.
Greyhounds in Spain are used for hunting hares.“The dogs are meant to imitate the swerves (转向)of the hares,” said Sorde. “Those who don't, and make their owners look bad, are called dirty greyhounds' and are most likely to be killed by the typewriter method. ”
16. Rey was intended to be killed by________.
A. kicking
B. burying
C. hanging
D. drowning 答案与解析:C hang在这里是“绞刑”的意思,文中第三段提到“勒住Rey脖子的绳子”。因此选择C项。 17. The underlined word“ vet” ( in Paragraph 5 )probably means“________”.
A. animal doctor
B. ambulance
C. animal medicine
D. equipment 答案与解析:A 给动物处理伤口的职业,只有“兽医”最合适。 18. What can you infer from the passage?
A. Dogs are not kept as pets in Spain.
B. Rey was punished because he had not been loyal to his
owner.
C. The typewriting death is named because a typewriter is used in the punishment.
D. Rey didn't behave very well in the hunting. 答案与解析:D
最后提到,这种惩罚用于狩猎中“追兔不力,惹恼主人”的猎狗。 19. The passage mainly tells the readers about ________.
A. the cruel killing of dogs in Spain
B. how Rey was saved by rescuers
C. how Spanish dogs hunt hares
D. the fate of the dogs in Spain
答案与解析:A 文中提到了,西班牙猎狗的各种悲惨结局,并以Rey的遭遇具体阐述。因此选择最合题意的A项。
Ⅲ.七选五 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
