We are all busy talking about and using the Internet, but how many of us know the history of the Internet?

Many people are surprised when they find that the Internet was set up in the 1960s. At that time, computers were large and expensive. Computer networks didn’t work well. If one computer in the network broke down, then the whole network stopped. So a new network system had to be set up. It should be good enough to be used by many different computers. If part of the network was not working, information could be sent through another part. In this way, computer network system would keep on working all the time.

At first the Internet was only used by the government, but in the early 1970s, universities, hospitals and banks were allowed to use it, too. However, computers were still very expensive and the Internet was difficult to use. By the start of the 1990s, computers had become cheaper and easier to use. Scientists had also developed software that made “surfing” the Internet more convenient.

Today it is easy to get online and it is said that millions of people use the Internet every day. Sending email is more and more popular among students.

The Internet has now become one of the most important parts of people’s life．

(    )29. The Internet has a history of around ________ years until the year of 2020.

A. ten B. twenty C. sixty D. seventy

(    )30. A new network system was set up to ________ .

A. break down the whole network B. make itself keep on working all the time

C. make computers cheaper D. make computers large and expensive

(    )31. At first the Internet was only used by ________.

A. Scientists B. the government

C. schools D. hospitals and banks

(    )32. ________ made “surfing” the Internet more convenient.

(C)

Defeating her Russian competitor with the last shot. Yang Qian, 21, won the first gold medal of the Tokyo Olympics on Saturday in the women’s 10-meter air rifle.

The junior student from Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, who is studying at the School of Economics and Management of Tsinghua University, became an immediate hit at home thanks to the calmness and confidence she has displayed.

It was Yang that drew the nation’s attention to the Games, which have been delayed from last year due to the COVID-19. Although wearing a mask, her smiling eyes and the gesture she made on the podium, forming the shape of a heart with her arms, have touched audiences around the world.

For too long, the world has longed for such a moment when countries can come together. The openness, courage and self-control Yang showed during and after the event have proved to be a common language.

With her baby face and fashionable appearance, and her enthusiasm for her sport, Yang has shown young people that the Olympic Games is not only an opportunity to win honor for the nation, but also a personal stage for the athletes to enjoy themselves, show their skills, display their personal charm, and actively interact with audiences.

Compared with the predecessors, the young Chinese athletes are more likely to enjoy the moment with smiles instead of tears. And while most Chinese Olympic gold winners of the last generation regarded winning as a reward for their countless hours of practice, the young athletes tend to view winning as a new beginning rather than the end of their sporting journey.

Competing for the country and enjoying it for oneself in the Games will attract more young people to enjoy sports, and doing so can also bring more honor to the motherland.

(    )33. Why could Yang Qian win the hearts of so many people in the world?

A. She appeared stylish and always wore a smile.

B. She beat all the other competitors and won the gold medal.

C. She enjoyed herself and paid no attention to the winning.

D. She showed many positive qualities during and after the Games.

(    )34. What does the underlined word “predecessors” in paragraph 6 mean?

A. Last generations. B. Competitors.

C. Modern youths. D. Teammates.

(    )35. What can we learn about the young Chinese athletes from the text?

A. They are more confident and self-centred.

B. They attach little importance to winning medals.

C. They compete for the country while enjoying the sport.

D. They view the Olympics as a chance to make new friends.

(    )36. What is the best title for the text?

A. Young Chinese athletes compete for the nation

B. Baby-faced shooter wins hearts as well as gold

C. Chinese athletes start a new journey after winning gold

D. A change in Chinese people’s attitude towards the Olympics

(D)

Children born in 2020 will experience extreme climate events at a rate that is two to seven times higher than people born in 1960, according to a new study in the journal Science.

With the current rate of global warming and national policies that fail to make necessary cuts in pollution, climate events such as heat waves will continue to rise, scientists say. That leaves children of younger generations facing “a severe threat” to their safety, according to the study’s authors.

The study researched extreme climate events such as heat waves, droughts, crop failures, floods, and wildfires. Researchers used recent data from a 2021 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report that included information on global life expectancy(寿命), population trends and possible changes of global temperatures.

The forecasts for how these events could completely affect younger generations were rather surprising. The scientists compared a person born in 1960 with a child who was 6 years old in 2020. The 6-year-old will experience twice as many typhoons and wildfires, three times as many river floods, four times as many crop failures and five times as many droughts. Heat waves, though, will be the most extreme climate event, with 36 times as many occurring for the 6-year-old.

The study also shows that extreme weather events could affect younger generations in various places of the world differently. People who were younger than 25 years old by 2020 in the Middle East and North Africa will likely experience more exposure(暴露) to extreme climate events compared with other places. The researchers say overall, younger generations in lower-income countries will experience the worsening climate at a higher rate than those in wealthier countries.

The data from the study shows how limiting the increase in global warming and adapting the Paris climate accord(协议) are beneficial, the researchers argue. But even then, younger generations are still left with “extreme event exposure that never happen before,” they write.

(    )37. What does “a severe threat” in Para 2 probably mean?

A. An unexpected event.            B. A tough struggle.

C. An urgent action.                D. A serious danger.

(    )38. How did the scientists study the influence of extreme climate events on younger generations?

A. By making a comparison.          B. By interviewing people of all ages.

C. By giving examples.              D. By sharing their own experiences.

(    )39. What can we infer from Para 5?

A. Younger generations in lower-income nations will be most affected.

B. Young people under 25 are less likely to experience extreme climate events.

C. Climate in lower-income countries will be worse than that in wealthier countries.

D. Extreme climate will definitely destroy the life of people in lower-income countries.

(    )40. Which of the following is likely to have a positive effect on the climate problem?

A. Fighting global warming at any cost.

B. Making use of energy resources without limitation.

C. Adapting international policies concerning climate.

D. Letting go of the development of lower-income countries.

For more than a thousand years, Cairo has been the capital city of Egypt（埃及）. This is finally coming to an end. The country is moving its capital.

Last month, some officials began to work in 'the new capital as part of a six-month trial. Not officially（官方地）named yet, the city is located in the desert to the cast of Cairo and is known as the New Administrative（行政）Capital (NAC). It began to be built in 2015.

Why does the government decide to build a new capital? That's mainly because there are more and more people in Cairo.

It is planned to house 6.5 million people. Government offices, embassies（大使馆）and other organizations will move there.

Egypt's leader says that building the new capital will help create jobs for many people. He also says all kinds of projects are planned, such as building airports, hotels and stadiums. Moreover, there is a public park twice the size of New York's Central Park. This is the second reason for building a new capital.

Another reason is that Egypt needs a smart and green capital. It will use a smart traffic system and people will use e-payment. Engineers have set up solar panels（太阳能板）on rooftops. Everyone in the capital will have 15 square meters of green land.

"We are trying to solve all the problems we had in the past in the new capital” spokesman for the new capital told Reuters.
