共用题干Electronic Mail
During the past few years,scientists all over the world have suddenly found themselves pro-ductively engaged in task they once spent their lives avoiding—writing,any kind of writing,but particularly letter writing. Encouraged by electronic mail's surprisingly high speed,convenience and economy,people who never before touched the stuff are regularly,skillfully,even cheerfully tapping out a great deal of correspondence.
Electronic networks,woven into the fabric of scientific communication these days,are the route to colleagues in distant countries,shared data,bulletin boards and electronic journals.Any-one with a personal computer,a modern and the software to link computers over telephone lines can sign on.An estimated five million scientists have done so with more joining every day,most of them communicating through a bundle of interconnected domestic and foreign routes known col-lectively as the Internet,or net.
E-mail is starting to edge out the fax,the telephone,overnight mail,and of course,land mail.It shrinks time and distance between scientific collaborators,in part because it is conven-iently asynchronous(异步的)( Writer can type while their colleagues across time zones sleep; their message will be waiting.).If it is not yet speeding discoveries,it is certainly accelerating communication.
Jeremy Bernstein,the physicist and science writer,once called E-mail the physicist's umbili-cal cord(脐带).Later other people,too,have been discovering its connective virtues. Physi-cists are using it;college students are using it;everybody is using it;and as a sign that it has come of age,the New Yorker has celebrated its liberating presence with a cartoon—an apprecia-tive dog seated at a keyboard,saying happily,“on the Internet,nobody knows you're a dog.”What will happen to fax,land mail,overnight mail,etc.according to the writer?A: Their functions cannot be replaced by E-mail.B: They will co-exist with E-mail for a long time.C: Less and less people will use them.D: They will play a supplementary function to E-mail.
选项
What will happen to fax,land mail,overnight mail,etc.according to the writer?
A: Their functions cannot be replaced by E-mail.
B: They will co-exist with E-mail for a long time.
C: Less and less people will use them.
D: They will play a supplementary function to E-mail.
答案
C
解析
本文第一段能找到high speed , convenience and economy等词了,就是B、C、D表达的内容。而选项A的内容文中没有谈到。
选项D与第二段最后一句对Internet所作的描述,即“…communicating through a bundle of interconnected domestic and foreign routes known collectively as the Internet”是一致的。
原句的意思是“如果说电子邮件现在还不能使发现加快速度的话,它肯定能使交际加快速度”。选项C与之最接近。
本文最后一段说到“作为它已经发展成熟的标志,《纽约客》杂志用一幅卡通画来庆贺具有解放作用的电子邮件的出现”。这幅漫画的含义是,电子邮件已经非常普遍,连阿猫阿狗都会上网了。因此选项B为正确答案。
第三段第一句说“E-mail is starting to edge out the fax, the telephone, overnight mail, and of course, land mail”,可知,越来越少的人会用到它们。因此,只有选项C是对的。
