43. B【解析】句意猜测题。根据In the past, it was nearly impossible for people to communicate immediately with people in other countries. They had to spend a long time to reach their destination, and not everyone could do that. But the Internet has made the impossible possible可知，在过去，对于人们来说立即和其他国家的人们交流是不可能的，他们不得不花费很长时间到达他们的目的地，并且不是每一个人都能这么做。但是网络已经让不可能变成可能。所以由于网络，现在许多事都可以完成，故选B。

In recently years, shopping online is very popular以及Besides, we can watch movies, listen to music and even play games to relax ourselves on the Internet可知，网络能够帮助我们知道全世界发生了什么事情，让我们的生活和工作变得更简单。在最近几年，网购非常流行，除此之外，我们可以在网上看电影、听音乐甚至打游戏来让我们自己放松。所以文中提到了知道世界新闻、网购以及看电影，而未提到学习开车，故选D。
