We use the Internet for many things: business, shopping, writing letters, talking to people, finding information and so on. In recent years a new kind of English has grown on the Internet. There’s no real word for it yet, so we’ll call it e-talk. People don’t like typing too much. To save time, they turn phrases into a few letters called acronyms. Acronyms are often used in chat rooms. Some of them are
BTW (by the way) BRB (be right back)
LOL (laughing out loud) IMO (in my opinion)
People also use many abbreviations(缩写). They are shortened forms of words. Some common abbreviations are:
Info(information) puter (computer)
Pie(picture) sec (second)
We usually don’t see people when we communicate on the Net, so people have new ways to show feelings. Most people use their keywords to draw “feeling”, such as:
:-)(happy) :-p(joking) :-( (sad) :-0 (surprised)
These days, many forums(论坛) have picture feelings. For example,

(sad) (happy)
There are even whole new words, like“newbie’s”(someone who is new on a chat board or forum).
It takes time for people to get used to e-talk. Also, different groups on the Net have their own special ways of communicating. Newbie’s have to ask other people what they mean. As the Internet grows, e-talk will continue to grow and change.

(答案→)C 解析：本文主要介绍了近年以来网上出现的一种网络语言，为了节省打字的时间，把几个英文单词缩写成几个大写字母的组合或者是用单词的部分表示整体，或用一个简单的图形来表示某种含义。适应这些新的网络语言需要花费一定的时间，并且随着网络的发展，这种变化还会继续进行下去。【小题1】根据To save time, they turn phrases into a few letters called acronyms.及下文描述可知选C。【小题2】根据People don’t like typing too much.及下文描述可知这样的缩写词打起来比较快，故选B。【小题3】根据BTW (by the way) 和puter (computer)可知句意为：顺便说一下，我的电脑出问题了。故选C。【小题4】根据As the Internet grows, e-talk will continue to grow and change.可知选A。【小题5】通过阅读短文，可知本篇短文主要描述了网络时代e-talk的发展历史。故选A。
