The first modern computers came out in the 1940s. They were very huge — as big as a whole room. These early machines weighed tons and were made of thousands of large parts. They were so expensive that only governments and big companies could buy them. People mainly used them for difficult math problems and important work. They could not be used in everyday life at all. Later, new and smaller parts took the place of the old large ones. This made computers smaller, cheaper and worked better. But most computers were still as big as a fridge and were not common in ordinary families. The big change came in the 1970s, with the invention of the computer chip. All of a sudden, the computing power that once filled a whole room could be put into a small chip. Personal computers (PCs) started to appear. For the first time, common families could have a computer at home.In the 1980s and 1990s, laptops(笔记本电脑) came into the market, making computers more portable. Today, computers are everywhere. They are inside our phones, cars, TVs and even fridges. A smartphone in our pocket has much more computing power than the huge room-sized machines of the 1940s. We use computers to study, work, shop, talk with friends and have fun. The Internet also connects computers all over the world together. In the future, computers will keep changing. With AI and other new technologies, they will become smarter and more helpful. One thing will never change: computers will always make a difference to the way we live. 1.What is the passage mainly about? A. How to use computers well B. The development of computers C. Why early computers were expensive D. Different uses of modern computers 2.What do we know about the first modern computers? A. They came out in the 1970s. B. They were small and light. C. They were widely used in homes. D. They were huge and cost much money. 3.The underlined word "portable" in Paragraph 3 probably means _ in Chinese. A. 轻便的 B. 昂贵的 C. 流行的 D. 普通的 4.When did personal computers first appear? A. In the 1940s B. In the 1960s C. In the 1970s D. In the 1990s 5.What can we learn from the passage? A. Early computers worked faster than today's phones. B. Computers have greatly changed people's life. C. Computers will stop developing soon. D. Old computers were as small as fridges. B The Railway That Changed My Hometown My hometown is a small mountain town. Ten years ago, people there lived a quiet but difficult life. The town was surrounded by mountains, and the only way out was a narrow mountain road. It took about six hours to drive to the nearest city. Local farmers grew fruit and vegetables, but they could hardly sell them outside the town because of the poor transport. Many young people left the town to find jobs in big cities. Everything changed in 2020, when a new high-speed railway station opened in our town. The railway cuts the travel time to the city from six hours to just one and a half hours. It has brought great changes to people's lives. First, the local products become popular. Farmers can now send their fresh fruit and tea to faraway cities by train quickly and cheaply. Their incomes have increased a lot. Second, tourism has developed fast. The beautiful mountain scenery and fresh air attract thousands of visitors every year. Some families have opened small restaurants and guesthouses. Many young people who worked outside have come back home to start their own businesses.The railway has also improved people's daily life. Students can take the train to take part in competitions in the city easily. Old people can go to the city hospital for better medical care. People are more connected to the outside world than ever before. Our town is still developing. The railway is not just a line of tracks; it is a bridge that leads our hometown to a better future. 1.
