The World Wide Web is a part of the computer Internet system. A recent study shows that more than thirty-million computer users link(连接)to the communications system called the Internet. The study shows that most of these people are using the World Wide Web.
Computers are linked with the Internet. The Internet is a communications system that permits many millions of computers to send and receive information. The World Wide Web is an important part of the Internet system. People use the Web to search for news, products and educational information. They may play games, buy books, records or other products or plan a holiday trip. These World Wide Web areas are called Websites.
Before the World Wide Web existed, information on the Internet was mostly written. Now, the Web provides the same written information but also includes sound, color pictures, television pictures and movies.
In 1993, a computer user could only link with 130 Websites, and it was difficult to link a computer with a Website. In 1994, computer scientists made it much easier to do. Today there are millions of Websites. Many more are being added each day.
The World Wide Web Consortium(国际性协议)is an international group. It is headed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States, the National Institute for Research in Computer Science and Control in France and Keio University in Japan. The Consortium includes more than 275 smaller computer organizations. These groups work together to improve how information is offered on the Web.

Lead（铅） deposits, which accumulated（增加） in soil and snow during the 1960's and 70's, were primarily the result of leaded gasoline emissions originating in the United States. In the twenty years that the Clean Air Act has mandated（托管） unleaded gas use in the United States, the lead accumulation world-wide has decreased greatly.
A study published recently in the journal Nature shows that air-borne leaded gas emissions from the United States were the leading contributor to the high concentration of lead in the snow in Greenland. The new study is a result of the continued research led by Dr. Charles Boutron, an expert on the impact of heavy metals on the environment at the National Center for Scientific Research in France. A study by Dr. Boutron published in 1991 showed that lead levels in arctic (北极的) snow were declining（减少）.
In his new study, Dr. Boutron found the ratios of the different forms of lead in the leaded gasoline used in the United States were different from the ratios of European, Asian and Canadian gasoline and thus enabled scientists to differentiate (分区) the lead sources. The dominant lead ratio found in Greenland snow matched that found in gasoline from the United States.
In a study published in the journal Ambio, scientists found that lead levels in soil in the North-eastern United States had decreased markedly since the introduction of unleaded gasoline. Many scientists had believed that the lead would stay in soil and snow for a longer period.
The authors of the Ambio study examined samples of the upper layers of soil taken from the same sites of 30 forest floors in New England, New York and Pennsylvania in 1980 and in 1990. The forest environment processed and redistributed (再分配)the lead faster than the scientists had expected. Scientists say both studies show that certain parts of the ecosystem (生态系统 ) respond rapidly to reductions in atmospheric pollution, but that these findings should not be used as a license to pollute.
1. The study published in the journal Nature indicates that ________.
A. the Clean Air Act has not produced the desired results
B. lead deposits in arctic snow are on the increase
C. lead will stay in soil and snow longer than expected
D. the US is the major source of lead pollution in arctic snow
2. Lead accumulation worldwide decreased significantly after the use of unleaded gas in the US ________.
A. was discouraged B. was carried out by law
C. was forbidden by law D. was introduced
3. How did scientists discover the source of lead pollution in Greenland?
A. By analyzing the data published in journals like Nature and Ambio.
B. By observing the lead accumulations in different parts of the arctic area.
C. By studying the chemical elements of soil and snow in Northeastern America.
D. By comparing the chemical compositions of leaded gasoline used in various countries.
4. The authors of the Ambio study have found that ________.
A forests get rid of lead pollution faster than expected
B. lead accumulations in forests are more difficult to deal with
C. lead deposits are widely distributed in the forests of the US
D. the upper layers of soil in forests are easily polluted by lead emissions
5. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that scientists ________.
A. are puzzled by the mystery of forest pollution
B. feel ease by the use of unleaded gasoline
C. still consider lead pollution a problem
D. lack enough means to combat lead pollution

After 32 (program) by an operator 33 used cards with holes, it could produce an answer quicker than any person. Later, Alan Turning wrote a book about how a computer could be made 34 work as a “universal machine”. From then on, the computer grew rapidly both in size and in brainpower. By the 1940s, it had grown as large as a room and this reality worried the designers. 35 , with its memory 36 (improve), the computer was made smaller. First, the memory was stored in tubes, then on transistors and later on very small chips. As a result, the shape of the computer 37 (total) changed from a large machine to a PC and then a laptop. Connected by 38 network, the computer was able to share its knowledge 39 others through the World Wide Web. Since the 1970s many new applications of the computer 40 (find) in communication, finance, trade and many other areas. The computer has become a devoted friend and helper of the human race.
