浙江省绍兴市诸暨市浣纱初级中学2020-2021学年九年级下学期英语3月考试卷
The Internet is an amazing invention. Because of its getting into almost everyone's life, the world will probably never be the same.
People can log onto the Internet 24/7 in search of whatever they need. An elderly woman who is unable to drive can use the Internet to shop, and even chat with her grandchildren without leaving the house. Collectors no longer have to go to markets or yard sales on weekends to find useful things to add to their collections. All they have to do is log onto E-bay and post a bid(出价).
As a teacher, I have found the Internet is very useful in preparing the teaching plans. The Web has many sites created for teachers to share ideas and exchange information. Perhaps young people get the most from using the Internet. Besides, they can also use the Net for school projects and homework. Being able to express themselves and show creativity on sites like My-Space and Twitter is another big advantage of using Internet.
As a saying goes, "Every sword has two edges." I think that students sometimes depend too much on the Internet. They don't seem to understand that just being on Google doesn't make it a trusted source(信息来源). I cannot count the number of times a student has turned in a paper that contains incorrect facts from sites.
What's worse, chat rooms have become the new playground for bad guys. The Internet gives them the anonymity (匿名) they need to draw the attention of children and lead them to improper conversations and in some cases meeting up with them. Children may also find sites that are improper for them. Even adults can fall prey to (深受……之害) stolen passwords (密码) if they aren't careful about the things they are downloading onto their computer.
RED BANK, New Jersey (January 31,2020). These days, women go to space. They sail around the world. They have all kinds of adventures. This wasn't true hundreds of years ago. Back then, women were expected to stay home. But that didn't stop these three women from taking off and doing big things. | |
Jeanne Baret (1740—1807): Baret was a French scientist. She studied plants. And she was the first woman to sail around the world. In 1766, Baret wanted to set sail with a group of scientists. But they were all men. Women weren't allowed to travel on French navy ships. So Bare t dressed up like a man. And she sailed away. | |
Lady Hester Stanhope (1776—1839): Stanhope was from England. She wanted to travel. She traveled throughout the Middle East by herself. And she led an archaeological(考古学的) dig there. She was the first woman to do this. | |
Nellie Bly (1864—1922): Bly was a reporter. In 1887, she wrote a story about hidden problems at a hospital. She dressed up like a patient at the hospital. Then she wrote a six-part report. The story made Bly well-known. It also led the way for other women reporters. Two years later, Bly set a world record. She traveled around the world in 72 days! |
