| 第6、7、8、9、10、11、12、13题：The Supercomputer Network 1. Recently ten laboratories run by governments in different parts of the world have become linked. Their computers have been connected so they can "talk" to each other. This may not seem very dramatic news, but it is the beginning of a development that will increase the power of the Internet tremendously. 2. The Internet is an interconnected ( 互联 ) system of networks that connects computers round the world and facilitates the transmission and exchange of information. The way that you use the lnternet is by accessing this network. This depends on the power that your system allows you to use. The power of your computer is responsible for how fast you can download ( 下载 ) files, how much data you can store, etc. If your computer is old and slow, accessing the information can be very difficult. 3. The new development in information technology has been called "the grid" (网络技术), and it will be a network of computers that are linked together. The "grid" will work in a different way from the Internet, enabling you to get the power of the biggest computers in the world on your computer. Accessing the information will no longer depend on the power of your computer. The idea is that while you access information, you will also have access to the power of the bigger computer stations. 4. One advantage of this revolutionary idea is that geographical location will become irrelevant. The "grid" will decide which are the best parts of a worldwide network to do the job you want. This means that you may be accessing a computer in Japan to solve a problem in Alaska. 5. The "grid" can be compared to having an efficient personal assistant. You can give your assistant a task and "he" will do it for you. The assistant will do the preliminary research, collect the data, compare them and decide on the best course of action by accessing any of the computer centres in the "grid" that happen to have the relevant information. All you have to do is assign the task, sit back and wait. 6. At present, possible applications of the "grid" in scientific research are being explored. While it has taken about fifteen years for Internet use to become widespread, experts believe that the "grid" could be up and running for private individuals far more quickly. Scientists working on "grid" projects are convinced that it will be as widely used as the web in the next ten years. Paragraph 2__________ A．How does the "grid" work? B．Power shared C．Just make a request D．Limitations of present Internet use E．Distance is not a problem F．A new era for the Internet 24、Paragraph 3__________ A．How does the "grid" work? B．Power shared C．Just make a request D．Limitations of present Internet use E．Distance is not a problem F．A new era for the Internet 25、Paragraph 4__________ A．How does the "grid" work? B．Power shared C．Just make a request D．Limitations of present Internet use E．Distance is not a problem F．A new era for the Internet 26、 Paragraph 5__________ A．How does the "grid" work? B．Power shared C．Just make a request D．Limitations of present Internet use E．Distance is not a problem F．A new era for the Internet 27、Traditionally the power of your computer determines how fast you can access__________ A．the bigger computer stations B．the advantage C．ten years D．information E．your personal assistant F．fifteen years 28、The "grid" will enable you to get on your computer the power of __________in the world. A．the bigger computer stations B．the advantage C．ten years D．information E．your personal assistant F．fifteen years 29、The "grid" would be like __________ , who can perform your tasks efficiently. A．the bigger computer stations B．the advantage C．ten years D．information E．your personal assistant F．fifteen years 30、 It is believed that the widespread use of the "grid" will become possible in the next__________ A．the bigger computer stations B．the advantage C．ten years D．information E．your personal assistant F．fifteen years |

| 第16、17、18、19、20题： Pop Music in Africa Young musicians in African countries are creating a new kind of pop music.The tunes and the rhythms of their music combine African traditions with various forms of music popular today,such as hip-hop,rap,rock,jazz,or reggae.The result is music that may sound familiar to listeners anywhere in the world,but at the same time is distinctly African.It is different also in another way:Many of the songs are very serious and they deal with important social or political issues in Africa today.Eric Wainaina is one of these African musicians.He grew up in Nairobi,Kenya,in a family of musicians.As a teenager,he listened to pop music from the United States,and later he moved to Boston to study at the Berklee College of Music.Now he has produced a CD in Kenya.Eric's most popular song,"Land of ‘A Little Something’“ is about Kenya's problem of bribery,or paying others for illegal favors.He wants people to listen to his songs and think about how to make Kenya a better place to live. Another musician who writes serious songs is Witness Mwaijaga from Tanzania.Her own experiences have helped her understand the suffering of many African women.At the age of fifteen she lost her home,but she was luckier than other homeless young people.She could make a living by writing songs and singing on the street.By the time she was eighteen years old,she had become a star.Her songs are written in rap or hip-hop style about the problems that she sees in Tanzania,especially AIDS and the lack of rights for women1. Baaba Maal,from Senegal,also feels that pop music must go beyond entertainment.He says that in Senegal,storytellers have always been important people.In the past,they were the ones who kept the history of their people alive.Baaba believes that songwriters now have a similar responsibility.They must write about the world around them and help people understand how it could be better.The words of his songs are important,in fact.They speak of peace and cooperation among Africans,as well as the rights of women,love for one' s family,and saving the environment2. One of South Africa's most popular musicians is Brenda Fassie.She is sometimes compared to Madonna,the American pop star,because she likes to shock people in her shows.But she also likes to make people think.She became famous in the 1980s for her simple pop songs against apartheid.Now that apartheid has ended,her songs are about other issues in South African culture and life.To sing about these,she uses local African languages and a new pop style called kwaito. In recent years,people outside of Africa have also begun to listen to these young musicians.Through music,the younger generation of Africans are connecting with the rest of the world and,at the same time,influencing the rest of the world. 词汇： reggae /'regei/ n.瑞格舞（西印度群岛的舞曲） bribery n.行贿，贿赂 apartheid n.种族隔离 注释： 1.Her songs are written in rap or hip-hop style about the problems that she sees in Tanzania,especially AIDS and the lack of rights for women.她用嘻哈和说唱的风格写歌，歌曲的内容是 坦桑尼亚的各种问题，特别是艾滋和女性权利的缺失。 2.They speak of peace and cooperation among Africans,as well as the rights of women,love for one's family,and saving the environment.他倡导在非洲要和平与协作，同时也包括妇女权利、热爱家庭和保护环境。 练习： 1.This passage is about how African pop music is_______. A） usually about love and romance B） more serious than most pop music C） popular with young people in Africa D） mostly written just for entertainment 2.For people outside of Africa,African pop music is _______.
