题目内容

5、    I credit my typing skills to so many hours of chatting online. Unfortunately, as my typing speed increased on the Internet, all grammatical rules went out of the window. You see, instant messengers have their own shorthand language and grammar isn’t important, of which even a newbie (菜鸟) is aware. They can leave out articles, subjects, pronouns, etc... They can misspell or “re-spell” almost any word. They often ask “A/S/L” when they first chat. Abbreviations are particularly important. English – speaking instant messengers also refuse to burden themselves with punctuation and capitalization.

After I came back to China. I discovered not one but two instant messaging crazes. The first, which brought back memories of my previous addiction to the computer, was QQ. I can see evidence that the Chinese have the same kind of separate instant – messaging language, even when they chat in English. My first word in this language, for example, was “ft”. This abbreviation for “faint” is used whenever there is a need to express surprise. I also discovered that the Chinese use the same kind of abbreviation for a laugh. And there is an extraordinary number of smileys I face and icons available to express every emotion and reaction, from the traditional “sleepy” and “doubtful” samileys to the “vomit” and “army soldier” smileys. There’s even a SARS smiley.

After QQ, there is another, perhaps more widespread, messaging trend. You guessed-it cellphone text messaging. I now understand how useful text messaging is and why it is so common. I admit that I have been guilty of sending text messages while walking outside or sitting on the subway. Who hasn’t? No matter where I go, I see people on their cellphones, messaging. In fact, it’s rare to see someone actually talking on their phone!

So it looks as if there’s no escape from the instant messaging craze, no matter where in the world I go. And that’s plainly not going to change. In the end, though, I can’t complain: instant messaging is quick, it’s cheap, it’s easy and it’s extreme fun too. And after all, everybody’s doing it.

1.The underlined phrase “went out of the window” in paragraph 1 probably means        .

      A.increased             B.occurred             C.changed              D.disappeared

2.Which of the following is true?

       A.Grammar and correct spelling are very important while chatting online.

       B.The writer is skilled at typing and once was addicted to online games.

       C.There are enough smileys and icons to express yourselves while chatting online.

       D.It is impolite to leave out some unimportant words or letters while chatting online.

3.The writer believes that instant messaging is          .

       A.full of fun but time – consuming           B.widespread but unnecessary

       C.common, useful and cheap                   D.quick but difficult to do

4.Which might be the best title of the passage?

      A.Chatting on QQ natural for people

       B.Why is instant messaging so popular?

       C.Chatting online good for your typing skills

       D.Who can escape QQ and cellpone text messaging?

     I credit my typing skills to so many hours of chatting online. Unfortunately, as my typing speed increased
on the Internet, all grammatical rules went out of the window. You see, instant messengers have their own
shorthand language and grammar isn't important, of which even a newbie (新手) is aware. They can leave
out articles, subjects, pronouns, etc. They can misspell or "re-spell" almost any word. They often ask "A/S/L"
when they first chat. Abbreviations and capitalizations are particularly important. English-speaking instant
messengers also refuse to burden themselves with punctuation and capitalization.
     After I came back China, I discovered not one but two instant messaging crazes. The first, which brought
back memories of my previous addiction to the computer, was QQ. I can see evidence that the Chinese have
the same kind of separate instant messaging language, even when they chat in English. My first word in this
language, for example, was "ft". This abbreviation for"faint" is used whenever there is a need to express
surprise. I also discovered that the Chinese use the same kind of abbreviation for a laugh. And there is an
extraordinary number of smileys and icons available to express every emotion and reaction, from the traditional
"sleepy" and"doubtful" smileys to the "vomit" and "army soldier" smileys. There's even a SARS smiley.
     After QQ, there is another, perhaps more widespread, messaging trend. You guessed it-cell phone text
messaging. I now understand how useful text messaging is and why it is so common. I admit that I have been
guilty of sending text messages while walking outside or sitting on the subway. Who hasn't? No matter where
I go, I see people on their cell phones, messaging. In fact, it's rare to see someone actually talking on their
phone!
     So it looks as if there's no escape from the instant messaging crazes, no matter where in the world I go.
And that's plainly not going to change. In the end, though, I can't complain: instant messaging is quick, it's
cheap, it's easy and it's extreme fun too. And after all, everybody's doing it.
