阅读下列两篇短文，然后根据短文的内容，从 A 、 B 、 C 、 D 四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。 

【A】

We are already familiar with computers—computers work for us at home, in offices and in factories. But it is also true that many children today are using computers at schools before they can write. What does this mean for the future? Are these children lucky or not?

Many people who do not know about computers think of them as machines that children play with. They worry that children do not learn from experience but just from pressing a button and that this is not good for them. They think that children are growing not knowing about the real world.

But people who understand more about computers say that computers can be very good for children. A computer can help them to learn about the real world more quickly, to learn what they want to learn and think for themselves. And for the future, don't we need people who can think clearly, who know how to get information quickly and use it well? What do you think?

1.“To be familiar with” means to ______.

A. know nothing B. know about C. dislike D. like

2. Does everyone think computers are good for children?

A. Yes, they do. B. No, not everyone thinks so.

C. They don't know. D. They are not sure.

3. What can computers help children to do?

4. Does the writer think computer is a good thing?

A. It isn't mentioned. B. No, he doesn't think so. C. He doesn't know. D. Yes, he does.

【B】

Light travels at a speed which is about a million times faster than the speed of sound. You can get some idea of this difference by watching the start of a race. If you stand some distance away from the starter, you can see smoke from his gun before the sound reaches your ears.

This great speed of light produces some strange facts. Sunlight takes about 8 minutes to reach us. If you look at the light of the moon tonight, remember that the light rays left the moon 1.3 seconds before they reached you. The nearest star is so far away that the light that you can see from it tonight started to travel towards you four years ago at a speed of nearly 2 million km. per minute. In some cases, the light from one of tonight's stars had started on its journey to you before you were born.

Thus, if we want to be honest, we can't say, “The stars are shining tonight.” We have to say instead, “The stars look pretty. They were shining four years ago, but their light has only just reached the earth.”

1. Light speed is ______ sound speed

A. as fast as B. a million times slower than

C. about millions of times faster than D. about a million times faster than

2. If you stand 200 metres away from a man who is firing a gun to start a race, you will find out that ______.

A. you can hear the sound before you see the smoke B. the sound does not travel as fast as light

C. the sound will reach you before the man fires D. sound travels about a million times faster than light

3. Sunlight obviously ( 明显地 ) ______ than the light of the moon

A. has to travel a greater distance B. moves less quickly

C. travels much more quickly D. is less powerful( 有力的 )

4. The scientific way of saying "The stars are shining tonight" should be ______.

A. the stars have been shining all the time B. the stars seen tonight will shine four years later

C. the stars were shining long ago but seen tonight D. the starlight seen today could be seen four years ago

3. C 事实细节题。由最后一段，特别是倒数第２个问句可知。

4. D 推理判断题。从最后一段可推断出作者的观点是 “ 计算机是件好东西 ” 。

1. D 事实细节题。由第 1 段第 1 句可知。
