Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions below.
The advent of the Internet may be one of the most important technological developments in recent years.
Never before have so many people had access to so many different sources of information. For all of the
Internet’s advantages, however, people are currently becoming aware of some of its drawbacks and are looking
for creative solutions. Among the current problems, which include a general lack of reliability and numerous
security concerns, the most crucial is speed.
First of all, the Internet has grown very quickly. In 1990, only a few academics had ever heard of the
Internet. In 1996, over 50 million people used it. Every year, the number of people with access to the Internet
doubles. The rapid growth has been a problem. The computer systems which run the Internet have not been able
to keep up with the demand. Also, sometimes a request for information most pass through many routing
computers before the information can be obtained. A request for information made in Paris ‘might have to go
through computers in New York, Los Angeles and Tokyo in order to obtain the required information.
Consequently, service is often slow and unpredictable. Service also tends to be worse when the Internet is
busiest – during the business day of the Western Hemisphere – which is also when companies need its service
the most.
Some people are trying to harness the power of networked computers in such a way as to avoid this
problem. In 1995, a group of American universities banded together to form what has come to be known as
Internet II. Internet II is a smaller, more specialized system intended for academic use. Since it is more
specialized, fewer users are allowed access. Consequently, the time required to receive information has
decreased.
Businesses are beginning to explore a possible analogue to the Internet II. Many businesses are creating
their own “Intranets”. These are systems that can only be used by the members of the same company. In theory,
fewer users should translate into a faster system. Intranets are very useful for large national and international
Trang 3/5- Mã Đ 111ề
companies whose branches need to share information. Another benefit of an Intranet is an increased amount of
security. Since only company employees have access to the information on the Intranet, their information is
protected from competitors. While there is little doubt that the Internet will eventually be a fast and reliable
service, industry and the academic community have taken their own steps toward making more practical global
networks.
Câu 34: According the passage, which of the following is true of the Internet?
A. It has become increasingly less popular. B. It tends to be unreliable.
C. It is too expensive to access. D. It has created a sense of financial security.
Câu 35: According to the passage, which of the following statements was true in 1990?
A. The Internet was a secure means to gain information.
B. Few people were using the Internet.
C. Internet data proved to be impractical.
D. The Internet experienced enormous growth rates.
Câu 36: The word “obtained” is closest in meaning to ________.
A. distributed B. acquired C. purchased D. understood
Câu 37: According to the author, what is a reason why the Internet is sometimes slow?
A. Scientists take up too much time on the Internet, thus slowing it down for everyone else.
B. Often a request must travel through many computers before it reaches its final destination.
C. Most people do not have computers that are fast enough to take advantage of the Internet.
D. Phone lines are often too busy with phone calls and fax transmissions to handle Internet traffic.
Câu 38: According to the passage, what benefits does Internet II have over the Internet?
A. There is no governmental intervention regulating Internet II.
B. Internet II contains more information than the Internet.
C. Internet II has fewer users and therefore is faster to access.
D. Small businesses pay higher premiums to access the Internet.
Câu 39: With which of the following conclusions would the author probably agree?
A. Fewer academic communities need to create their own internet systems.
B. Companies who develop their own intranets are limiting their information data base.
C. An Internet system with fewer users would be quicker.
D. The technology used by internet creators’ is too complex for computer owners to understand.
