单元话题阅读理解练习
(2023春·上海·七年级期中)Can you think of a country without paper? British Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, wants to change Britain into just such a country.“Everyone in the country will be given their own website within four years,” he said.
After people have their own website, they can do things on the Internet. For example, people can “see” doctors on the Internet. They can ask questions and doctors can also answer them through the Internet; parents can learn about their children’s studies on the Internet. Also, teachers don’t need to give them the report cards.
This not only saves time, but also saves money. Many people won’t need to go to their offices, they can work at home. The Prime Minister said that it would save billions of pounds a year. Most importantly, it is especially good for the environment. The country will save a lot of paper if people do so many things through the Internet. Saving paper can save a lot of trees.
If the plan is carried out, Britain will become the first country without paper.“I want Britain to be the world leader in the digital economy(电子经济). The digital economy will create over 250,000 jobs by 2020,”said Gordon Brown.
