Question

With the rapid progress of technology, the English language is changing fast. All the people have to face a choice: either ignore the development of the language and spend the rest of our lives wishing Shakespeare were alive, or keep pace with the Internet age, welcoming the new English which someone has once called Weblish. “you can’t avoid it for the simple reason that wherever a new language comes along, it surely impacts (影響) the language as a whole,” says Dr David Crystal, a famous language professor at the University of Wales.
However, there is great trouble with keeping up with the new English because there are so many new words and the old ones no longer mean what we thought they did. In the past if someone said they didn’t have “Windows”, you would have to suppose they lived in a cave without windows. But now, it is probably because they use a Mac, which is a computer. Spam, which once meant a not-so-good-kind of canned meat, now stands for unwanted “junk (垃圾)” email.
Spelling is changing too. Weblish loves to see nouns happily become verbs ( for example, “Please bookmark this site”), and verbs become nouns (“Send me the download”).Verbs and prepositions are regularly thrown together to become new nouns or adjectives(for example, dial-up, logon, print-out, pull-down, upload), while others are created from a simple pairing of nouns: cyberspace, ethernet, Internet, hyperlink, metatag and netspeak.

【小題1】C
【小題2】D
【小題3】B

解析試題分析：本文敘述了隨著科學(xué)技術(shù)的發(fā)展，人們使用網(wǎng)絡(luò)的機(jī)會越多，為了一些使用的方面產(chǎn)生了一些新的網(wǎng)絡(luò)語言，文中給出了網(wǎng)絡(luò)語言產(chǎn)生的方法。為了適應(yīng)現(xiàn)在的社會我們要跟上時代的步伐，就要了解網(wǎng)絡(luò)語言。
【小題1】推理判斷題。根據(jù)either ignore the development of the language and spend the rest of our lives wishing Shakespeare were alive, or keep pace with the Internet age, welcoming the new English which someone has once called Weblish. 可以推出有些人對于網(wǎng)絡(luò)語言有些不同的意見，故選C。
【小題2】段落大意題。根據(jù)there is great trouble with keeping up with the new English because there are so many new words and the old ones no longer mean what we thought they did. 這是中心句，可知應(yīng)選D。
【小題3】標(biāo)題歸納題。綜觀全文可知本文主要的話題是網(wǎng)絡(luò)語言，故選B。
考點：社會現(xiàn)象類短文閱讀。
點評：標(biāo)題歸納題時還要遵循三個原則，即注意題的醒目性、概括性和針對性。醒目性——我們所判斷的標(biāo)題如果放在文章的最前面，應(yīng)該能使讀者一看到標(biāo)題就對其內(nèi)容發(fā)生興趣，即，吸引讀者的眼球；概括性——指標(biāo)題應(yīng)最大限度地覆蓋全文，囊括文章的主要內(nèi)容，體現(xiàn)文章的主題；針對性——我們所選的標(biāo)題不能偏題，必須指向具體文意，因此也應(yīng)具備強(qiáng)烈的針對性。
