    答案:B

    正确答案: 1. instead改为instead of instead意为“代替”“替代”,作副词用,通常位于句尾。如位于句首时常用逗号与后面阁开。instead of是介宾短语,其意与instead相同,不同之处在于它后面常接宾语,起宾语多由名词、代词、介词、短语、动词 + ing 形式充当。
    2.like改为as
    such as“例如”,后面跟所列举事物。
    3.has改为have
    advances in machines作主语,谓语应用复数,故改为have。

    Which of the following is true about the Internet according to the passage?
    A

    Americans were more in contact before the advent of the Internet.

    B

    The Internet is weakening the tie of social networks.

    C

    If you use the internet, you are more likely to get help from network members.

    D

    Internet users are more likely to receive help from non-users.


    正确答案: B
    解析:
    录音中最后一句提到“Internet users are more likely than non-users to receive help from network members.”(网络用户比非网络用户更有可能获得来自网络成员的帮助),由此可知如果你使用网络,你更有可能得到网络成员的帮助,所以选C。
    【录音原文】
      As the size of a person’s social network increases, it becomes more difficult for people to contact a large percentage of network members. The percentage of one’s social network contacted declines as network size grows. This pattern holds true for almost all forms of contact analyzed in the Social Ties survey. The one exception is email.
      As the size of people’s social network increases, the percentage of one’s social network contacted weekly by email does not decline, but remains about the same at about 20% of their ties. Several qualities of email help explain this finding. Email enables people to maintain more relationships easily because it is convenient as a communication tool and it gives the control in managing communication. The nature of email is such that people could carry on conversations at different times and at their leisure. This makes it possible for a quick note to an associate, whether it is about important news or seeking advice on an important decision. Moreover, it is almost as easy to email a message to many people as it is to email to only one...
      Contrary to fears that email would reduce other forms of contact, there is “media multiplexity”: that is, the more contact by email, the more in-person and phone contact. Therefore, Americans are probably more in contact with members of their communities and social networks than before the advent of the Internet. And Internet users are more likely than non-users to receive help from network members.

    正确答案:
    1.在instead和on之间加of instead of是固定结构,表示“而不是”。
    2.like改为as
    such as为固定结构,表示列举或举例。
    3.has改成have 该句主语是复数名词advances。
