Not very long ago, the computer was a strange machine. Not many people understood it. Not many people said yes to it. Today much of that is changing. The first computer system(系统)was introduced for use in business in the mid-1950s. Since then, the number of computer systems used in business, government offices, and institutions has grown rapidly. In 1975, about 250 000 systems were in use in the United States. This is growing by tens of thousands every year.
The electric computer is an important factor(因素)in our lives. Each year we use computer more and more to help us to collect data(数据)and to provide us with information. At one time people thought computers were only useful to banks, department stores, and governments. But today the rapidly increasing number of computers is used for many other purposes. Have you ever stopped to think how you are affected(影响)by a computer? The clothes you wear were probably made with the help of a computer. The newspaper you read could have been edited(编辑)and typed by a computer. Even radio programmes are often prepared by computers.
Computers today are playing important roles(作用)in education, transportation(交通)and medicine. They are used to predict(预报)the weather, to examine the ocean, and to develop defense systems. They are being used by businesses, governments, and institutions. There is no reason to think that their uses will become a greater part of our lives.
The influence(影响)of the computer is great. The list of its uses could go on and on. Computers now affect millions of people in countless(无数的)ways every day.
1. Before the 1950s the computer was_______.
A. widely used B. no use at all
C. not understood by many people D. liked by people
2. The computer today is_______than it was before.
A. reduced B. increasing fast
C. not changed D. increasing slowly
3. The computer today is_______than it was before.
A. less useful B. the same as in the 1960s
C. more useful D. less important
4. The writer thinks our lives are affected, but we_______.
A. don’t quite notice it B. have known it clearly
C. don’t want to know about it D. don’t like it
5. Although the first computer system was only introduced in the mid-1950s, computers now affect millions of people in countless ways every day. This means the writer_______.
A. doesn’t like computers
B. liked computers
C. thinks computers have developed rapidly
D. thinks we can’t live without computers

科目:高中英语 来源:2010年江苏省南通市高一上学期期中联考英语卷 题型:阅读理解
My school makes students take one religion (宗教) class every year. But religion is really hard, especially with Mr Frank Smith for a teacher.
Mr Smith is 55 years old, with grey hair and a moustache (胡子). He always wears a blue school T-shirt, shorts and tennis shoes with long white socks. My friends say he looks like a cat.
In his class, we did yoga (瑜珈) and meditation (冥想) (actually most of the children in my class lay on the ground sleeping), tasted some strange tea, had classes outside in the garden, and watched videos and movies about Tibetan Buddhism (藏传佛教), God, and so on.
It was fun sometimes. However, the course (课程) was quite hard when it came to tests. The girls often worked until one or two o'clock in the morning on nights before the tests, but they still got bad scores.
When our test scores were bad, he would give us some makeup assignments (补考作业). Once I got a B, which I thought was bad, so I asked Mr Smith for an assignment to bring up my grades.
As a matter of fact, his assignments were often worse than the tests. The tests were just a lot of multiple-choice, fill-in-the-blanks, or short essays (文章). But his assignments usually included a speech in class.
I was not afraid of public speaking, yet it took me three days to collect the information, two days to write the speech, one day to make a PowerPoint and several hours to prepare. I knew my presentation (课堂展示) was good, because I saw Mr Smith's big smile when he listened to me. He gave me an A at last.
After finishing the course, I may not remember how hard it was or the meaning of some vocabulary. But through Mr Smith, I learned a lesson that will be with me my whole life. That is: no matter what we do, we need to put our hearts into it, and then our work will pay off.
1.The religion class is hard because Mr Smith _______.
A. uses strange ways to teach in his class.
B. never gives good scores, however hard you try.
C. gives difficult tests and make-up assignments.
D. likes students to make good presentations.
2. How could students get good scores in Mr. Smith’s class?
A. Work hard by studying late into the night.
B. Remember all of the vocabulary.
C. Pay attention and take notes in class.
D. Do well on the make-up assignment.
3.From the course, the writer learned that ____.
A. people should always be given a second chance
B. people should always put their hearts into their work
C. it is good to do yoga and meditation
D. it is good to choose strict teacher
