garbage and

librarian.
The government
inspects(

Task
2
Directions:
This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions
or unfinished statements are numbered
41 to 45.
People in some countries
cannot use their native language for Web
addresses. Neither can Chinese
speakers, who have to rely on pinyin.
But last Fri
day, ICANN, the Web’s
governing body, approved
the use of up
to 16 languages for the new system. More will
follow in the coming years.
The Internet is about to
start using the 16 languages of the world. People
will soon be able to use
addresses in
characters (
字符
) other than
those of the Roman alphabet
(
字母表
). The change will
also
allow
the
suffix
(
后缀
)
to
be
expressed
in
16
other
alphabets,
including
traditional
and
simplified Chinese characters.
But there are
still some problems to work out. Experts have
discussed what to do with characters
that have several different meanings.
This is particularly true of Chinese.
Most experts
doubt the change will have a major effect on how
the Internet is used. “There will be
some competition between companies to
ob
tain popular words for addresses.”
41. For Web
addresses, Chinese speakers now have to use
________.
A) pinyin
B) signs
C) numbers
D) characters
42. The approval of the use
of 16 languages by ICANN will allow web users to
________.
A) change their
email address
B) email their messages in characters
C) have the chance to learn
other languages
D
) use addresses in their
own language
43. The new
system will allow the suffix of a Web address to
be expressed by ________.
A) any native language
C) Chinese characters
B)
figures and numbers
D)
symbols and signs
44. Which
of the following is one of the problems in using
the new system?
A) Certain
characters have several different meanings.
B) Chinese is a truly
difficult language to learn.
C) People find it difficult to type
their address in characters.

still some problems to work out
