(l)Remember the Stone Age days of research back in elementary school and middle school? We would spend countless hours digesting the information we could find on index cards. Do you recall using those ancient computers that ran with the Gopher program or some generic database whose name connoted a marmot that could take half an hour to find Moby Dick?
(2)Well, all I have to say can be summed up in five words: Thank God For The Internet! Screw going to the library! I have access to dozens of databases, journals, and collections of literature right at my fingertips. I can complete all of my research at home and no longer must run amok in the library, stressing out while trying to find Shakespeare’s The Tempest or some other book, all the while trying to block out the noisy study groups who have forgotten what the "silence policy of libraries" means.
(3)If you recall the flood epidemic that hit Colorado State University just a couple summers ago, that natural disaster wreaked havoc all over campus. A large portion of journals and texts were located in our libraries’ basement which completely filled up with about 10 feet of rain water in a matter of hours.
(4)The Lory Student Center’s basement was also flooded and that was where the university bookstore was located. This forced almost every professor to order new textbooks and that really put a dent in our wallets. Many students here, myself included, still have to face the disappointment of searching for a particular book or journal for a last minute paper, only to find out that the certain item was a casualty of the flood.
(5)Thanks to the Internet, the university implemented the Inter-Library Loan system. Several universities around Colorado have generously aided us in our research endeavors by loaning any resource we need for at least two to three weeks. All we have to do is type in a request and five other university libraries automatically search for that information.
(6)Without this program, I may have failed several papers and projects. I would have had to spend my nights running from public library to public library around the state just to find a certain article or novel. The World Wide Web has also given us the capability to order any textbook at a much lower price than the university bookstores charge. Hey, we’re all college students and we’re usually broke, so anytime we can find a deal or discount that will save us a few bucks, we will gladly take it.
(7)And last but not least, for those of us who are constantly homesick, have a special someone far away or still want to keep in touch with pals, we have e-mail. Like most of you, I moved away from home to go to school and my high school friends spread out across the globe. Instead of wasting money on stationery and envelopes and stamps (which seem to increase in price about every year), I can chat with everyone through the Internet. Plus, scanning has allowed us to send pictures to our sweethearts, friends, and family who have forgotten what we look like. So, I’m asking everyone to get on their hands and knees and to pay homage to the tele-communications god, the Internet. [br] The author is grateful to the World Wide Web program just because of the following EXCEPT ______.
选项
A、it brings much convenience and saves a lot of time
B、it helps to save much money for the students who are usually poor
C、it enables the author to finish the paper in time after the flood
D、it enables the students to keep in touch with their pals and relatives
答案
C
解析
细节题。文章后三段都是介绍互联网技术带来的好处,选项A、B和D在其中都有提到。选项C说到作者在洪水过后按时完成了论文,但那是几年前的事,而本文没有提及当时有互联网技术的出现,因此选项C为本题答案。
