阅读下列短文，从题中所给的四个选项(A，B，C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

　　Build the highway and watch the town grow. At first a few shops appear and maybe a restaurant. Then a hotel opens. Eventually new houses are built. A village is born.

　　This is also how the virtual world has developed. Think of the Internet as the road carrying information between two computers. Think of the World Wide Web as the village. At first it is just a place on the virtual road where travellers meet. More travellers come bringing new kinds of information. New villages are started.

　　Every village has a founder. Tim Berners-Lee is the man who wrote the software programme that led to the foundation of the World Wide Web. How did he get the idea? He tells us on his own web site: “One of the things computers were not able to do was store contacts (互通信息) from different sources. The dream behind the Web is of a common space in which we commu nicate by sharing information.”

　　Tim Berners-Lee could have followed the Microsoft route by forming a company to sell the programmes he invented. Or he could have joined an existing company. But in his view the Web is a language, not a product, Charging a fee for using his programmes would have slowed the growth of the Web. And other companies would make similar products to compete. Instead of one World Wide Web there would be several smaller Webs. Each would use incompatible (不相容的) software. The Web is valuable because it uses a common computer language to reach people and share information. Competing webs would lose this value. Imagine if somebody sent you a bill every time you spoke a word of English.

　　In 1994 Tim Berners-Lee formed the newly formed World Wide Web Consortium, or W3C. More than 200 leading companies and laboratories are represented by W3C. Together they make sure that everyone no matter what their equipment or software is can work equally on the Web.

　　“The Web can help people to understand the way that others live and love. It helps us understand the humanity of people,” he says.

1．Which appeared first, the Web or the Internet?

[　　]

A．The Internet.

B．The Web.

C．They appeared at the same time.

D．There is no clue in the passage.

2．What does the underlined part “the virtual world” refer to?

[　　]

A．The computer system.

B．Scientific research.

C．All the information on the Web and the Internet.

D．People working on the Web and the Internet.

3．What can be inferred from the sentence “Imagine if somebody sent you a bill every time you spoke a word of English”?

[　　]

A．The information on the Web should be shared by all.

B．The Web is where all kinds of information are stored.

C．People can get all kinds of information on the Web.

D．People can communicate on the Web.

4．Which is the main idea of the passage?

[　　]

A．How Tim Berners-Lee founded the World Wide Web.

B．The advantages of working on the World Wide Web.

C．Why Tim Berners-Lee wanted to found the World Wide Web.

D．How Tim Berners-Lee got the idea of founding the World Wide Web.

　　Sweden's pop phenomenon, which started with ABBA in the seventies, has exploded into a large industry tanging from CD sales to concert tours. But homegrown bands and CD markers are only a part of the success. World stars are beating a path to Sweden's music producers whose studios and songwriters lie behind many an American and British success.

　　Denis Pop--one of the greatest Swedish pop producers--put Sweden on the map, writing and producing hit after hit for stars such as the Backstreet Boys, Bon Jovi and Britney Spears. French-Canadian Celine Dion, American Boyband 98 Degrees and American singer Jennifel Lopez turn to Sweden for songs composed by music writer and producer Arnthor Birgison.

　　All this has made Sweden the world's third biggest exporter of music. But how did Sweden manage to spread its sound all over the globe?

　　Birgison, 25, believes the traditional Swedish approach to hard work and an unfriendly climate are key to the music sensation（轰动）. Besides, Swedes are also very good at speaking English, which is very important, because very little music sung in other languages succeeds anywhere outside its home country. Another piece in the puzzle is that Swedish children at an early stage get to try out musical instruments and learn music theory in school, at little cost to their parents.

(1)We can learn from the above passage that ______.

[　　]

A．Sweden exports the largest amount of music to the outside world

B．Swedish musical training theory is puzzling to kids of early ages

C．Swedish musicians have made great contributions to the world music

D．most of the western singers' success bases on the work of the Swedish artists

(2)What does “ABBA” in the opening paragraph most probably refer to?

[　　]

A．A music group.

B．A successful industrialist.

C．A CD maker.

D．A music producer.

(3)Which of the following leads to the success of Swedish music and musicians?

[　　]

A．Famous song writers.

B．Good weather conditions.

C．The musical training system.

D．The large amount of money parents spend on their children's musical education.

(4)If the Swedish musical artists couldn't speak English well, ______.

[　　]

A．they wouldn't be able to learn the up-to-date music theories

B．the Swedish music wouldn't have been so internationally successful

C．they would have difficulty in commu-nicating with foreign singers

D．they wouldn't have children start to learn music at an early age

Endless sea, sand and sunshine on a tiny island--everyone' s idea of heaven. Who wouldn' t want to live in such a place.?
One person who certainly does is Ben Southall, from the UK. The 34-year-old was one of more　than 34,000 people who applied for the post of "caretaker" on Hamilton Island, Australia, which　the local government called "the best job in the world". The position starts in July and runs for six months. The salary is 150,000 Australian dollars(780,639 yuan).
Why Southall? Well, first let's take a look at the criteria(标准) for the job: "We're looking for applicants who like to have adventures, have a great love of the outdoors and have good commu-nication skills. "
On his application video, Southall expressed a love of adventure and included photographs of himself riding an ostrich(鸵鸟 ), running a marathon, diving, and kissing a giraffe. "From the time he was announced in the Top 50, and then the Top 16, Southall did a great job by showing true ex-citement about Queensland," Tourism Minister Peter Lawlor said in a statement.
"His ideas for how he will make the role his own.., as well as his ability to rise to a challenge impressed the judges and helped him to win his place in the top job," Lawlor said.
Southall was born in Coventry, UK and used his parents' home as a base for his adventures. He had an old Land Rover that he used for a charity-fund-raising trek(跋涉) across Africa which in-volved joining in five marathons( a 42.16 km race) and climbing five mountains.
"It was sometimes hard work to make him get his head down and do his work because he always wanted to be outside," his mother said about his early years.
"He wanted to go surfing in South Africa, so he got a job house-sitting to pay for it. We regu-larly ask him when he is going to get a proper job, but he is confident and has a strong set of friends and is a great social animal. Now he has got the perfect job for his skills," said his father.
So, you see? No matter what type of person you are, there's always the possibility of getting a dream job. How' s that? Just read the job descriptions carefully and think about how your skills and qualities fit with the ones needed for the job. That' s what Southall did to get his job.
