1. Internet use appears to cause a decline in psychological well-being,（因特网的使用使人们的心理健康度下降）according to research at Carnegie Mellon University. Even people who spent just a few hours a week on the Internet experienced more depression and loneliness than those who logged on（进人电脑系统）less frequently, the two-year study showed. And it wasn't that people who were already feeling bad spent more time on the Internet,but that using the Net actually appeared to cause the bad feelings.
2.Researchers are puzzling over the results,which were completely contrary to their expectations.They expected that the Net would prove socially healthier than television,since the Net allows users to choose their information and to communicate with others.
3.The fact that Internet use reduces time available for family and friends may account for the drop in well-being, researchers hypothesized（假设）.Faceless, bodiless virtual（虚拟的）communication may be less psychologically satisfying than actual conversation,and the relationships formed through it may be shallower. Another possibility is that exposure to the wider world via the Net makes users less satisfied with their lives.
4."But it's important to remember this is not about the technology itself;it's about how it is used,"says psychologist Christine Riley of Intel,one of the study's sponsors（发起人）."It really points to the need for considering social factors in terms of how you design applications and services for technology."People who spend a little time on the Internet_________.
A:experience as much of depression as those who never
B:may suffer more depression than those who never
C:after they use the Net
D:makes users less satisfied with their lives
E:before they use the Net
F: the Net would prove socially healthier than television答案：B解析：第一段是全丈的中心段落，主要讲迷了“因特网的使用产生了不好的结果”。
第二段主要讲述了“研究人员的困惑”。上一段中提到的结果与他们预期的完全相反。
第三段主要讲述了”上网是怎样使幸福感下降的“。其中包括与家人和朋友相聚的时间减少了，以及上网者通过时外面世界的了解，对自己的现有生活产生不满等。
最后一段提出了一个观点，导致这个结果的关健并不是因特网本身，而是人们便用它的方法。因此段意总结为“不怪因特网”。
只花少；量时间上网的人可能比从不上网的人感到更抑郡。第一段提到：即使是每周仅上几个小时网的人也会比上网频率更低的人感到更抑郁、更孤独。
事实上人们产生的不好感觉是在上网之后。第一段结尾提到：不是已经感觉不适的人才花更多的时间在因特网上，而是使用网络实际上引发了人们的不适。
通过因特网接触外面更广阔的世界使上网者降低了对现有生活的满意度。第三段末尾提到了这一说法。
研究人员曾经预期网络比起电视更有益于社会。第二段提到了这一说法。 -

B.Disagreement with and argument about conditions tend to slow down social change
C.Social change is more likely to occur in the material aspect of society
D.Social change is less likely to occur in what people learned when they were young答案：B解析：根据第二段“social changes is also likely to occur more frequently and mole readily in thematerial aspects…in what has been learned later in life rather than what was learned early…in the less basic andless emotional aspects of society than in their opposites”可知A、C、D项都正确，而由第一段最后一句可知，不同的观点以及对现状不满可以加速社会变革．因此B项错误。 -

问答题Practice 3 You should spend about 40 minutes on this task. Write about the following topic: Students at schools and universities learn far more from lessons with teachers than from other sources (such as the Internet and television). To what extent do you agree or disagree? You should write at least 250 words.正确答案： 【参考范文】
Rapid development of technology provides convenience and freshness for many aspects of people’s life, including education. Nowadays, students become more reliable on computers for research and are often asked to hand in a perfect paper by schools. Others even have decided to give up the original way of learning and to obtain knowledge through online institutions. These changes in learning and teaching methords have aroused a special concern regarding the fading of teacher s’ giving lectures in classrooms.
Some people observe that compared with that of an original classroom, the role of teachers is beginning to drop because computers can help students study faster. For example, in the classroom, most of students’ intellectual capacities can not be activated, and thus some would be confined to a slow advance in their studies because of others' lower capacity of understanding. However, thanks to the new study mode, pupils could progress in their acquisition of knowledge at their own pace.
The presence of teachers, however, is essential for students because human interaction plays positive and significant roles which can hardly be replaced by the cold machines. Firstly, from teachers, students can gain more than mere knowledge in the textbooks. They can cultivate their interest in certain subjects and establish emotions with students and teachers. They can learn the importance of communication through working in a group and how to respect other students. Furthermore, it is necessary to have teachers in the learning process to learn students' deficiencies and help them solve their problems by repeating explanations, giving extra instructions or even suggesting a tutor. Hence, students can have a bigger chance of passing exams.
To conclude, although computers and the Internet do brings convenience and speed, the role of teachers in the learning process is still very important and it will continue to be in the future because machines cannot replace human interaction.解析： 暂无解析 -
第9题：
问答题Now Internet has almost become the symbol of information age. Some think that it is a very great invention because by it, they can do many things that were impossible before. But some view Internet with much disapproval because it distracts people's attention rather than help people do things better. What is your opinion about the influence of Internet on the modern society? Write an essay of about 400 words on the following topic:Internet and the Modern SocietyIn the first part of your writing you should present your thesis statement, and in the second part you should support the thesis statement, with appropriate details. In the last part you should bring what you have .written to a natural conclusion or a summary. Marks will be awarded for content, organization, grammar and appropriateness. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.正确答案：
The Internet and the Modern Society Recently the influence of Internet has attracted much public attention. People worry about the time wasted on it, the damage caused by virus spread on it, and most of all, some violent crimes committed due to the violent games played on it. All these concerns may be reasonable. But if we take a broader perspective, we may find that Internet has had many positive impacts on the modern society.
First of all, Internet has made the access to information more convenient. In .the past, people could get information they wanted through only limited channels, such as newspaper, radio, and television. This means that only a certain amount of people could get the information at a certain time and in a certain place. But now with the help of internet, people can get information no matter when they want. As a researcher has pointed out, information explosion means that people live in the ocean of information, and Internet has been essential to make that true.
Besides, Internet has also made communication more convenient. Sociologists agree that communication is vital to maintain harmonious human relation, but the communication was rather inconvenient in the past despite the continuous improvement of technology. Letters have been so slow as to be nicknamed snail mail; telegraph and telephone may be quicker, but they have been very costly. But now many new communication tools developed on the basis of the Internet, such as e-mail, msn and QQ, have made talking to a person extremely quick, convenient, and virtually free of charge. This will undoubtedly improve the human relation in the modern world.
The most important impact, however, is that Internet has made social interaction more convenient. Before the Internet era, various social institutes had only limited options to choose from if they wanted to reach the public, and naturally the result was usually unsatisfactory. But now in the Internet era, all these institutes can set up their own websites, which can not only provide the public with information but also collect reaction from the public. For example, the government can collect people's opinion about a certain project through the Internet, producers can promote products through Internet, and universities can clarify admission policies through Internet. The result is that Internet can help to bring about a more open, fair and interactive society.
In a word, more convenient social interaction, personal communication and access to information are the three major changes the Internet has made in the modern society. Although there do exist some problems with the Internet, these positive influences certainly are more important. What we should do is to find measures to solve the problems rather than just talk about them. Just as the proverb goes, we should not stop eating for fear of being choked.解析：
本题的题目首先列举了人们对互联网的两种看法，然后要求考生谈论自己对关于“互联网对现代社会的影响”。本文的引言段采用的是转折式(self-refutation)。作者先列举了互联网的一些问题，然后话锋一转，提出互联网的影响主要是积极的这一观点。在正文段落中，作者分别从三个方面阐述互联网的影响，即获取信息更方便、人际交流更方便和社会互动更方便。这一顺序非常合理，从个人到社会，符合范围从小到大、水平从低到高的规律。前面两段的衔接词分别为first of all和besides，第三段则使用了the most important impact，however，这起到了很好的强调作用。另外，第一段中的专家证言和第二段中的例子都使得文章的内容更加丰富。结论段使用in a word开始，作者在一句话中完成了summary。Final comment中的格言的使用，也为文章添色不少。 -

Bthe public can turn to different sources
Cthe public can get a chance to ask questions
Danything can be posted on the Internet for others to see
正确答案： B解析：
根据Excerpt 5中的““Anyone can say anything they want, whether it’s fight or wrong,” said Case. Readers have to determine for themselves who to trust.”可知，任何人可以想说什么就说什么，不管他的言论是否正确。读者必须自行决定应该相信谁。所以D项为正确答案。 -

单选题According to the passage, which of the following is NOT TRUE?AThe Boston Tea Party took place in l773.
BEuropeans figured out ways to use coffee during the 1670s.
CDuring the l770s, more and more Americans began to drink coffee.
DCoffee is a refreshing drink.
正确答案： C解析：
细节判断题。根据文中第四段第一行提到“It is often said that after the Boston Tea Party of l773”可知，“波士顿倾茶事件”在1773年发生，A选项正确。接着文章又说道“Americans everywhere switched over to drinking coffee.”即，1773年“波士顿倾茶事件”之后，人们开始从喝茶转向喝咖啡，也就是越来越多的人选择喝咖啡，C选项正确。由文章第一行“Coffee is a powerful drink.… it helps keep US awake and active”可知，咖啡能使人保持清醒和活跃，即咖啡是“提神（refreshing）的饮料”，D选项正确。根据文章中第二段内容可得：14世纪时，有人发现了咖啡使用方法，15世纪传遍阿拉伯世界，之后又过了150年，即17世纪60年代，它才席卷了欧洲，其中并没有直接提到是欧洲人发明出了使用咖啡的方法，而且时间也不是在17世纪80年代，因此B项描述不符，故答案选B。 -

Internet shopping is a new way of shopping. Nowadays,you can shop for just about anything from your armchair. All you need is a computer which is linked to the Internet. Shopping on the Internet is becoming increasingly popular.

People can shop for a variety of products on the Internet.Physical products include items such as books,CDs,clothes and foods.These types of products are the most common purchases through the Internet.You can also buy information products such as on-line news or magazine stories,or you can download computer software through the Internet.Services such as booking airline tickets,reser-ving hotels or renting cars are also available on the Internet.You can also go shopping on the Inter-net for entertainment services and take part in on-line games.
Internet shopping offers a number of benefits for the shopper. The most important advantage is convenience.You can shop whenever you like as the on-line shops are open 24 hours a day and you don't have to queue with other shoppers at the check-out counters.Secondly,it is easy to find what you are looking for on the Internet.Even out-of-print books may be ordered on line.Finally,it is often cheaper to buy goods through the Internet,and you can tell the shop exactly what you want.

A:People Enjoy Many Ways of Shopping
B:The Advantages and Disadvantages of Internet Shopping
C:The Bright Future of Internet Shopping
D:A New Way of Shopping一Internet Shopping答案：D解析：本题为细节题。文章第二段阐述了网上购物的种类，不仅可以买到诸如书、CD、衣服等物质产品，还可以买到在线新闻、杂志、软件等信息产品，甚至还有娱乐服务和网络游戏等。其中提到："You can also buy information products such as on-line news or magazine stones,or you can download computer software through the Internet.”即“on-line news and maga-zine stories”属于“information products"，所以选D。 A项文章未提及；目前网上已提供在线新闻和杂志故事，排除B项；这些新闻杂志是需要购买的，并不能免费下载，排除C项。
本题为细节题。第三段第一、二句话："Internet shopping offers a number of benefits for the shopper.The most important advantage is convenience.”即最大的优势是便利。选项A和B虽然也是网上购物的好处，但不是最重要的；选项C不是网上购物的好处之一，而是网上购物的一个弊端，即不能检查商品的质量。
本题为细节题。第四段提到了网上购物的主要缺点，包括：不能看到实物并检查质量，排除A;不能享受购物的乐趣，排除C;使用信用卡的不安全性，排除D。选项B 意为“顾客不能检查所购商品的数量”，而文中提到的是不能检查商品的质量，所以符合题意。
本题为主旨题。文章中作者围绕网络购物，阐述了网上购物的种类及其优缺点，并对其未来进行展望。所以正确答案应该是D。选项B、C都只是文章的一个方面；选项A过于宽泛。
本题为态度题。文章最后一段说：" Internet shopping is sure to become more and more popular in the years ahead.It promises to change the way we buy all kinds of things一from tonight's dinner to a new car.”可以看出，作者对网上购物的未来持乐观态度（optimistic )。 negative（消极的）、concerned（关心的）、critical（批评的）都与文章内容不符。 -

However, I think this majority of modern-day games are based on fantasy and they cannot teach us much about life.
Nowadays, young people seem to favor computer games. The ones they like best either tend to distort reality or to promote fantasy. The fantasy games are full of aliens, lethal robots, walking dead people, or monsters. A good example is the game, “Resident Evil”. It is all about a virus that kills people and turns them into walking zombies. The player scores points by destroying the zombies with certain weapons. Other games, like “DOA 2” and “Counter-strike” distort reality by allowing the player to beat up or kill other people without suffering any consequences. Many games actually glorify violence or make it look like fun. Some racing games allow you to run over people and score points. I doubt that anyone can learn about lire through playing these games. In fact, many juvenile delinquents commit crimes without fully understanding what they have done and without having any idea of severe punishment. It is a pity that they generally regard their acts as means of fun because they mistake the real world for the fantasy world.
Another reason that modern-day games cannot teach us about lire is that they tend to be addicting. That is to say, they actually distract you from going outside and experiencing life. Many middle school and high school boys and university students spend numerous weekend hours glued to their computers, playing the latest fantasy game. They really should be outside, socializing, exploring their surroundings and learning about life. These modern day games actually promote the addiction. For example, most “shooting games” give you only a few “lives” but they incorporate countless play levels and episodes. It forces you to play an infinite number of hours as you attempt over and over again to reach the end of the game. All the while,the world is passing you by.
Can playing games teach us about life? Certain ones can. However,I think the majority of modern—day games actually do the opposite. They either distort reality or they keep you from experiencing it.解析：

事实细节题。根据题干提示定位到第一段。由文章首句Politicians do it. Charities too. And now for-profit entrepreneurs are tapping the Internet to get small amounts of money from lots and lots of supporters.可知，政治家、慈善机构及追求利润的企业家通过互联网crowdfunding是为了从众多的支持者那里获取大量小份的资金，而不是为这些网站捐款；再根据下文意思可排除A、B和C，从而判断正确答案为D。
