七、阅读理解。
In the 1980s and 1990s, the Internet began to grow, and later on, it had 70 million users. The 21st century has
been an important time in the short history of the Internet. It has changed us a lot.
Today, we use the Internet for almost everything we do, from ordering a pizza to buying a book. A click (点
击) or two is enough to read any news from anywhere in the world. Through the Internet, we send data from one
end of the world to the other in a matter of seconds, make online presentations, live “game worlds” and share our
real lives. Personal stories go public and local events go global.
The Internet is changing our social relationships too. It has brought us together in topic—based communities
that are not connected by the places we live in. Today, our world is a networked society connected by new
technologies.
Information technology has changed throughout the world. In the new world, the worldwide information
network has changed human relationships. It has changed business, education, government, healthcare, and even
the way in which we communicate with our loved ones—it has become one of the key drivers of social
development.
Although similar tools still have their place in some fields, new technologies are improving our lives every
day and changing the way we communicate—especially among younger people. The Internet has made
communication easier. Online, space and time have disappeared (消失) and a new way of communicating has
come out.
The development of the Internet today is being shaped by mobile communications. The mobile Internet is
leading to an increasingly mobile reality (现实)—everything is in the cloud. People no longer spend hours in front
of a computer screen after work. Instead, they use their mobile devices (设备) to stay online wherever they are.
Anyone failing to keep up with the world change may lose a chance.
