17．If you've been joining in chat room conversations，or trading e-mail with net pals，you have become one of the millions who write in a special，short form of English．
Throughout the world，every night children and their elders are"talking"online-many of them are talking at the same time．
It's fast：trying talking to six people once．It's convenient：three or four words per exchange．It takes cleverness，concentration and quick fingers．
And it requires very simple language．There's neither time nor space for explanations． Why waste valuable time telling six friends you have to leave for a moment to take care of your little brother when BRB （=be right back） will do？
Want to enter a conversation？Just type PMFJI （=pardon me for jumping in）．
Interested in whom you're talking to？Type A/S/L，the common request to know your pal's age，sex and location．You may get 15/M/NY as a reply from your pal．
If something makes you laugh，say you're OTF （=on the floor），or LOL （=laughing out loud），or join the two into ROTFL （=rolling on the floor laughing）．
And when it's time to get back to work or go to bed，you type GTG （=got to go） or TTYL （=talk to you later）．
People want to write as fast as possible，and they want to get their ideas across as quickly as they can．Capital letters are left in the dust，except when expressing feeling，as it takes more time to hold down the"shift"key and use capitals．Punctuation （標點） is going too．

分析 本文是一篇廣告類閱讀，主要講述了在網上聊天的時候，同時和很多人聊天，需要簡單的表達方式，作者列舉說明如何運用所寫的方式表達一定的含義．
解答 24-27DCBA
24．D．細節(jié)理解題．從第一段you have become one of the millions who write in a special，short form of English．人們通過運用縮寫在網上聊天．故選D．
25．C．句子理解題．從第四段第一句And it requires very simple language可以看出人們在沒空間和時間解釋的情況下，只能讓自己的表達簡單．故選C．
26．B．細節(jié)理解題．從第六段Type A/S/L，the common request to know your pal's age，sex and location．可知"A/S/L"是"age，sex and location"的縮寫．可知這是住在紐約的一個17歲的女孩．故選B．
27．A．細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)最后一段"People want to write as fast as possible，and they want to get their ideas across as quickly as they can．Capital letters are left in the dust，except when expressing feeling，as it takes more time to hold down the"shift"key and use capitals．Punctuation （標點） is going too．"意思是"丟在腦后"．按下"Shift"鍵鍵入大寫字母太費 時間，因此聊友常常不使用大寫字母，標點符號也省掉了．故選A．
點評 本文是一篇關于網上聊天類閱讀．此類題型主要考查學生的細節(jié)理解．細節(jié)理解題首先是通讀全文，再針對文中某個細節(jié)、某句話或某部分具體內容設置問題，所以在做細節(jié)理解題時要結合原文和提干有針對性的找出相關語句進行仔細分析，再結合選項選出正確答案．
