Today it has become almost as important to every family as food and water! This year, the World Wide Web has turned 25 years old. What many people dont know is that the web was at first created to improve communication between thousands of scientists in Switzerland.In 1989, Tim Berners-Lee was a 34-year-old British physicist working as a software engineer at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research in Switzerland. Since CERN was a huge organization with thousands of scientists, communication between them was becoming increasingly difficult.Berners-Lee wanted to develop a system to solve the problem.His paper suggested an information system, where a page on one computer could have a link to another page on another computer (connected through the Internet), allowing scientists to read lots of information quickly. However, Berners-Lees boss said that it sounded exciting but impossible.Even though there were many difficulties and few supporters, Berners-Lee went on to develop the World Wide Web. He came up with ideas such as Hyper-text Transfer Protocol (超文本传输协议) to allow computers to talk to each other, Hyper-text Markup Language (HTML) to create the pages, a server to serve the pages, and a browser (浏览器) to see them.In December 1990, the World Wide Web was demonstrated (展示) and in 1991, the WWW project was made public, so that other programmers could develop their own browsers. Berners-Lee believed that it could be used for more than scientific purposes. He wanted the Internet to be easy for anyone to use a free open software. His wishes soon came true. Although the World Wide Web has today turned into a completely different thing from what it meant at first, it has become necessary and important to our lives, powering our mobile technologies and the way we get information.24. The World Wide Web was created to _.A. help people get information easily and quicklyB. support the development of mobile technologiesC improve communication between scientists at CERN.D. make it easier for British scientists to communicate25. As for Berners-Lees paper, his boss _. A. felt puzzled about it B. showed no interest in it C. was certain about it D. had no confidence in it26. According to the text, Berners-Lee _.A. doesnt give up easily when in trouble B. is a 55-year-old Swiss physicist C. has worked at CERN for 25 years D. knows little about the Internet27. What would be the best title for the text?A. The popularity of the web. B. Interview with Tim Berners-Lee.C. Tips on improving the website. D. World Wide Web turns 25! CColor is considered one of the most useful and powerful design tools you have. People respond to different colors in different ways. Colors tell someone if you are friendly. In the same way they affect whether someone will continue clicking through your website. Colors determine if someone will start reading your article in a magazine or post on your website. Colors also help to keep people involved on your website and determine how long they stay. Of course thats not just about the content. Colors also influence how people will respond and behave. The next time you go into a fast-food restaurant, look closely at the colors. Do they decorate with vivid reds and oranges because they encourage diners to eat and leave quickly like many of the fast-food establishments (企业)？That is exactly the response they want. Different cultures have different attitudes and preferences; thus, they will have another color reaction. In China, white stands for death and in Brazil, it is the color purple while in America it is black. People from warm countries respond favorably to warm colors；people from colder climates prefer cooler colors. In America, green is associated with jealousy or money. Blue (most popular ) is associated with trust, responsibility, belonging and coolness.This also means that color affects shopping habits. Different colors attract different kinds of customers. Red, orange, black and royal blue attract impulse（冲动的）buyers. Pink, light blue and navy attract smart budget shoppers. There is really a lot into it. To experience this, why not click on the following large companies websites that have spent the funds on this type of research now? 28. This passage mainly tells us _A. what colors mean to people in different countries.B. colors affect people in many different countries. C. which king of color does good to peoples health.D. a good website should have as many kinds of colors as possible. 29. According to this passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. Reds and oranges in a restaurant will make you stay there longer.B. In Brazil, the color purple is associated with death.C. People from warm countries will like cooler colors better.D. Peoples shopping habits will not be affected by colors.30. If you want to attract impulse（冲动的）buyers, you should decorate your shop with _ A. pink, light blue and navy. B. red, light blue and green. C. red, orange, black and royal blue. D. green, black and royal blue.31. What would the author probably talk about in the next paragraph?A. To offer some large companies websites.B. To introduce what colors mean in different countries. C. To tell us how to use colors in our daily life.D. To give more examples about successful restaurants.DHave you ever heard the phrase “we just cant communicate”? Most people associate communication with the ability to read or write well. This might not be the case as you will soon find out.How many times have you been to the doctors office and listen to an educated professional explain something to you that is just meaningless. These people keep asking you, “Do you understand?” and sometimes out of embarrassment because you dont want to look like stupid, you tell them, “Yes, I do understand. ” This isnt a good way to communicate either.How do we communicate in a positive way to get our points across（使被理解）? Ask the person you are communicating with if they understand what you just said, if someone is talking to you, then use the statement, “Just to make Sure That I Understand What You Just Said” and then repeat back your understanding of their conversation. Sometimes just asking a few simple questions and clarifying your understanding can bring great benefits to any communication.In some countries like Japan for instance, you might find them reading your body language more than the words you are communicating with. Sometimes just by the way someone stands or reacts to something you said, you can get a valuable insight to what the other person means in this conversation. Dont forget however this could lead to a misunderstanding also. Again if you think someone is communicating with their body language, try not to assume（假设）that you know for a fact what message they are trying to get across. Always ask them if they understand what you are talking about.A person is responsible for what he says and to make sure that the other person completely understands the point he is trying to get across. Why not start using some of the simple skills used in this article to help with your communication skill, you will start to see the benefits within a short period of time.32. According to the author, you cant catch a doctor because_A. he keeps asking you questions. B. you are a complete idiot.C. he cant make himself understood. D. you dont pay enough attention to him.33. As a listener, you should _to ensure a good communication. A. listen carefully and quietly. B. take some notes while listening C. retell the conversation in your own words. D. ask the speaker to speak slowly and clearly34. The underlined part in Paragraph 4 probably means_. A. an ability to observe B. a clear understanding. C. an act of seeing D. an efficient way of communication.35. From the passage we can learn that _ A .communication skills in the passage need a long time to practice B. youd better not ask any questions in communicating with others C. one cannot completely understand a conversation by body language D. communication has nothing to do with the ability of reading and writing 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。You usually have a tight schedule and extremely busy with classes, homework, youth groups, hobbies, family and friends.
