Ⅳ阅读理解（20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
A
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（出故障）, 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 became cheaper and easier to use. Scientists had also developed software that made “surfing” the Internet more convenient.
Today it is easy to get on-line and it is said that millions of people use the Internet every day. Sending e-mail is more and more popular among students.
The Internet has now become one of the most important parts of people’s life.

As early as 1894, the newly-formed International Olympic Committee (IOC) considered ice skating as a possibility for the first modern Olympic Games which would be held in 1896.
In 1911, a member of the IOC suggested that winter sports should be staged as part of the 1912 Olympics in Helsinki. Some were against the idea. At last, the IOC decided to hold Winter Olympic Games in 1916. However, World War I broke out in 1914. After 1920, the national governing bodies for winter sports in several countries began talking about the possibility of a separate Winter Olympics.
The town of Chamonix, in the French Alps, planned to hold a winter sports festival in 1924, at the same time Paris was to host the Olympics. The Marquis de Polignac, a member of the IOC, suggested that the festival be formally recognized as the Winter Olympic Games. The IOC didn’t go that far, but did agree that Chamonix could call its festival an “Olympic winter carnival”.
The festival drew 258 athletes from 16 countries to compete in bobsledding(雪橇车比赛), figure skating, hockey, Nordic skiing and speed skating. Charles Jewtraw from the United States won the first gold medal, in the 500-meter speed skating, but the festival’s hero was Claus Thunberg from Finland. He won five medals, three of which were gold, in speed skating.
Weather has often been a major story at the Winter Olympics, and so it was at Chamonix. The festival opened with rain and unseasonably warm temperature that turned snow and ice to mud. Then temperature dropped as far as 25 below zero and the mud became ice.
Despite（尽管） the weather, more than 10,000 people showed up. At its yearly meeting in 1925, the IOC recognized the Chamonix festival as the first Winter Olympics and decided that the Winter Games would be held every four years, just like the Summer Olympics.
61. Why was the first Winter Olympic Games not held in 1916?
A. Because the IOC didn’t agree to it.
B. Because it was still under discussion.
C. Because some people were against the idea.
D. Because World War I broke out in 1914.
62. We can know from the passage that .
A. the weather destroyed the first Winter Olympics
B. people from 16 countries watched the first Winter Olympics
C. Charles Jewtraw won the most medals in the first Winter Olympics
D. Finland got at least 3 gold medals in speed skating in the first Winter Olympics
63. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. The development of the Olympics
B. The importance of weather in the Olympics
C. The story of the first Winter Olympic Games
D. How did the Winter Olympics come into being?
C

During my first two months in China, I was like a girl in love. Everything I saw and did amazed me. I have journal entries that are pages long describing, in great detail, everything I ate. From the sauce to the kind of chopsticks(筷子) I used, nothing went unnoticed or unrecorded. Chinese people gape at me when they see me using chopsticks, just because I can.
Western eating is so different, not only in the use of cutlery(餐厅), but also in the
