24、ly longer than that. In the times before the invention of the computer and the World Wide Web (WWW), social networking was done in person. People who had similar likes and interests would gather together to share experiences, make new friends, and improve their businesses.On the Internet, social net
25、working websites made their first appearances during the late 1990s. The first major social networking website in the United States was MySpace. MySpace allowed its users to exchange messages, share pictures, and make new friends in a way that was never thought ofinthe past.With MySpace, people who
26、did not go out much could reach out to others from their own homes.In 2004, Facebook was created. It was first a website created for use by Harvard Universitys students and teachers, but it soon expanded to include just about everyone. It is now larger than some ofthelargest companies in the world.
27、It is a website that is changing all the time. Facebook has completely changed the way people stay connected with each other and the rest of the world. The way it works is simple. Users can set up a newaccount(账户) easily. All a new user needs is an email address to start. Once a person has created a

31、between MySpace and Facebook.DIn an age when technology moves faster than most can keep up with, a small group of people still remain in the time of old-fashioned letter. Frankly speaking, I was once certain that traditional letters could never be replaced by other means of communication.But a story
32、 about online communication changed my mind.An old man, who suffered a lot from Parkinsons disease, was not able to talk clearly and could hardly write his name. Living totally alone, he managed to keep in touch with nearly all the members of his family. How did he achieve（实现） this? He clicked out w
33、ords on his computer keyboard.I, therefore, managed to get an E-mail box as soon as the chance came. My life changed. E-mail, and all online communication, is something truly different. It has abilities that few other products can match.E-mail is convenient. It takes less time with its fast speed an
34、d 24-hour connection. The slow postal service is no match(匹配之物). If you wouldnt want to have a face-to-face talk with your manager, you might talk with him through E-mail even if you are in the same office.Naming all the good things about online communication is not easy. But wait. E-mail can be inc
35、onvenient. It can waste time and energy. Just think what may happen when you take a short vacation and return to find your e-mail box filled with 200 unread messages. You could easily spend half a day clearing junk ads.Then, online communication will keep us staying at our computer while it connects
36、 us to distant strangers. Once we throw ourselves into the machine, we may forget the human touches we once held so dear. Im sure there is and always will be a place for the old-fashioned letter, phone call, and face-to-face meeting even in the world of modern communication.As I listen to the sound
37、of the modem(调制解调器), I was excited at stepping out to the outside world but, at the same time, I sensed a loss of control over something valuable in my personal life.32.

38、sick old mans experience. D. The changing of his life.33. What does the writer think of online communication?A. It should replace old-fashioned letters completely.B. It is perfect and always does good to you.C. It is extremely useful and convenient, but it may be inconvenient or even harmful.D. It d
39、oes more harm than good.34. According to the writer, traditional means of communication will never disappear because _.A. they help to keep the friendly relationship between people B. they are convenient and popular though they are slowC. most people cannot keep up with the development of technology
40、D. modern means of communication does too much harm35. How did the sick old man keep in touch with his family members?A. By visiting them regularly. B. By writing letters with his pen. C. By making telephone calls. D. With the help of his computer. 第二节：（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）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。

77、mas songs.Text 10What do Napoleon and Clinton have in common? They are both left-handed.Today, about 15% of people are left-handed. But why are people left-handed? The answer has to do with the way the brain works. The brain has two halves the right half controls the left side of the body, and the l
78、eft controls the right side of the body. So, right-handed people have a strong left-brain, and left-handed people have a strong right-brain.The two halves of the brain are about the same size. But each side controls different things. The left side controls language, math, and logic. When you remembe
79、r new words, or when you put things in order, you use your left side. The right side of the brain controls your love of art, colors, and music. It is also good at recognizing faces.This doesnt mean that all artists are left-handed and all lawyers are right-handed. Some right-handers have a strong right-brain, and some left-handers have a strong left-brain.
