The advent of the Internet may be one of the most important technological developments inrecent years Never before have so many people had access to so many different sources ofinformation For all of the Internet’s advantages, however, people are currently becoming aware

be obtained A request for information made in Paris might have to go through computers in
Trang 5New York, Los Angeles and Tokyo in order to obtain the required information Consequently,the service is often slow and unpredictable Service also tends to be worse when the Internet isbusiest - during the business day of the Western Hemisphere - which is also when companiesneed 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 hascome to be known as Internet II Internet II is a smaller, more specialized system intended foracademic use Since it is more specialized, fewer users are allowed access Consequently, thetime 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 companies whose branches need toshare 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 fastand reliable service, industry and the academic community have taken their own steps towardmaking more practical global networks
Question 55: All of the following are advantages of business “Intranets” mentioned in the passage EXCEPT

Question 57: The word “harness” is closest in meaning to .

A Companies who develop their own Intranets are limiting their information data base.
B Fewer academic communities need to create their own Internet systems.
C The technology used by Internet creators is too complex for computer owners to understand.
D An Internet system with fewer users would be quicker.
Question 59: According to the passage, what benefits does Internet II have over the Internet I?
A Internet II has fewer users and therefore is faster to access.
B Small businesses pay higher premiums to access to the Internet.
C Internet II contains more information than the Internet.
D There is no governmental intervention regulating Internet II.
Question 60: The word “analogue” most nearly means .
Question 61: According to the passage, which of the following is not 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.
Question 62: The word “their” refers to .
Trang 6A competitors B company employees
Question 63: The word “obtained” is closest in meaning to .
A understood B acquired C purchased D distributed
Question 64: According to the author, what is one reason why the Internet is sometimes slow?
A Phone lines are often too busy with phone calls and fax transmissions to handle Internet
traffic
B Scientists take up too much time on the Internet , thus slowing it down for everyone else.
C Often a request must travel through many computers before it reaches its final destination.
D Most people do not have computers that are fast enough to take advantage of the Internet.
