26、The man who invented the World Wide Web a few decades ago is calling for major changes to make it better for humans. In an open letter published on Tuesday, Berners-Lee said that the web was used by half the world's population.

Berners-Lee said the web had clearly created great opportunities for humans to progress and made life easier for millions of people. Actually, it also has offered opportunities to groups who traditionally cannot hear a new voice in society. However, he added that the web had also provided new ways for cheats to carry out crimes (犯罪).

“Against the backdrop of news stories about how the web is misused, it's understand able that many people feel afraid and unsure if the web is really a force for good,” he wrote.

Berners-Lee created a group called the World Wide Web Foundation. He is looking for help from governments, companies and people to become more involved in shaping the web to do more good for humans. His actual plan is called the “Contract(合同)for the Web”.

Under this contract, governments are called on to take steps to make sure all people can connect to the Internet and that personal privacy is respected. Businesses are asked to keep the Internet prices low so more people can use the web. In addition, companies should respect privacy and develop technologies that aim to put people first.

The plan also calls on people to create materials for the web and work with others to make sure that there is rich, quality information for everyone. Besides, people should seek to “ build strong communities that respect personal speech and human equality.” “The path to make the Internet better is the responsibility of everyone who uses it,” Berners-Lee added, “making big changes will not be easy, but will be very well worth it in the end.”

【1】What does Berners-Lee think of the World Wide Web?

A．It does more harm than good.

B．It stops the progress of humans.

C．It is his greatest regret.

D．It needs improving.

【2】What's wrong with the web according to Berners-Lee?

A．It is misunderstood by all people.

B．It is misused for bad purposes.

C．It blocks out a new voice in society.

D．It is expensive for half the world's population.

【3】What are governments called on to do under the “Contract for the Web”?

A．Put technology first.

B．Create materials for the web.

C．Popularize the Internet.

D．Make the Internet free of charge.

【4】What should people do with the Internet in Berners-Lee's opinion?

A．Be responsible for it.

B．Absolutely reject it.

C．Completely rely on it.

D．Be unconcerned about it.

27、From the outside, Taylor Swift — an 11-time Grammy Award winner with 55.5 million monthly online listeners—seems to be used to success.

But at New York University’s graduation ceremony in May of 2022, the 32-year-old country music singer-songwriter told her schoolmates that her achievements were really a result of something else: moments of rejection (否决). “The times I was told ‘no’ or wasn’t included, wasn’t chosen, didn’t win-looking back, it really feels like those moments were as important as. If not more significant than, the moments I was told ‘yes.’ ” Swift said.

Swift said those depressing moments made her feel “hopelessly lonely” growing up, starting at a very young age. As a kid, she said, she would be angry about not getting invited to sleepovers (在外过夜). She remembered connecting with music managers at age13, and being told that “only 35-year-old housewives listen to country music.”

Her responses to those moments were impressive. Alone in her room, she’d write songs “that would get me a ticket somewhere else.” She posted songs online and connected with other teenage country fans online.

Working on her music and herself—instead of thinking about being told “no”—paid off. She signed a development deal at age 13, had a songwriting contract a year later and a recording contract by age 15, released her first album at age 16, and won four Grammys at age 20 in 2010.

Her advice to the class of 2022: Learn to live with those discouraging experiences. “My experience has been that my mistakes led to the best things in my life,” she said. “And being embarrassed when you mess up? It’s part of the human experience. Getting back up, dusting yourself off and seeing who still wants to hang out with you afterward and laugh about it, that’s a gift.”

【1】What led to her success according to Taylor Swift?

A．Her ambition to win an award.

B．The support from online listeners.

C．The important moments in her life.

D．Her experiences of being refused.

【2】Which is Taylor’s reaction to her depressing moments?

A．Composing songs.

B．Sharing her stories.

C．Making friends online.

D．Reflecting on her failure.

【3】What can we learn from Taylor Swift’s story?

A．Education is the key to success.

B．Our attitude towards failure matters.

C．It’s important to avoid our mistakes.

D．We should work hard since an early age.
