Question

  We use the Internet for many things: business, shopping, writing letters, talking to people, finding information and so on. In recent years a new kind of English has grown on the Internet. There’s no real word for it yet, so we’ll call it e-talk. People don’t like typing too much. To save time, they turn phrases into a few letters called acronyms. Acronyms are often used in chat rooms. Some of them are
BTW (by the way)        BRB (be right back)
LOL (laughing out loud)    IMO (in my opinion)
People also use many abbreviations(縮寫). They are shortened forms of words. Some common abbreviations are:
Info(information)       puter (computer)
Pie(picture)           sec (second)
We usually don’t see people when we communicate on the Net, so people have new ways to show feelings. Most people use their keywords to draw “feeling”, such as:
:-)(happy)    :-p(joking)   :-( (sad)    :-0 (surprised)
These days, many forums(論壇) have picture feelings. For example,

(sad)      (happy)
There are even whole new words, like“newbie’s”(someone who is new on a chat board or forum).
It takes time for people to get used to e-talk. Also, different groups on the Net have their own special ways of communicating. Newbie’s have to ask other people what they mean. As the Internet grows, e-talk will continue to grow and change.

解析試題分析：本文主要介紹了近年以來網(wǎng)上出現(xiàn)的一種網(wǎng)絡(luò)語言，為了節(jié)省打字的時間，把幾個英文單詞縮寫成幾個大寫字母的組合或者是用單詞的部分表示整體，或用一個簡單的圖形來表示某種含義。適應(yīng)這些新的網(wǎng)絡(luò)語言需要花費一定的時間，并且隨著網(wǎng)絡(luò)的發(fā)展，這種變化還會繼續(xù)進(jìn)行下去。
【小題1】根據(jù)To save time, they turn phrases into a few letters called acronyms.及下文描述可知選C。
【小題2】根據(jù)People don’t like typing too much.及下文描述可知這樣的縮寫詞打起來比較快，故選B。
【小題3】根據(jù)BTW (by the way) 和puter (computer)可知句意為：順便說一下，我的電腦出問題了。故選C。
【小題4】根據(jù)As the Internet grows, e-talk will continue to grow and change.可知選A。
【小題5】通過閱讀短文，可知本篇短文主要描述了網(wǎng)絡(luò)時代e-talk的發(fā)展歷史。故選A。
考點：關(guān)于e-talk的說明文
點評：本文淺顯易懂，貼近生活，尤其對于經(jīng)常接觸網(wǎng)絡(luò)的初中生來說，理解起來不難。各小題出的較有針對性，基本都能在文中找出答題依據(jù)，細(xì)心閱讀即可。
