Ⅰ.阅读理解

A

When we were very small, we realized that having friends was important.Some of us even had imaginary (想象中的) friends.The need for friends continued as we grew into our teens.Friends played a big part in forming our personalities (性格)．As adults, it is still important for us to have friends.

True friends are people who like us though we make mistakes and who listen to us and tell us the truth.Friends support our decisions and tell us when we're foolish.They laugh with us and share our sadness.They are our partners and share interests with us.They stimulate us when we are feeling down.They are people we aren't afraid of telling our secret wishes to or what is really on our minds.

Friends are our supporters.When you can depend on friends, you feel safe and warm.Friends offer acceptance and emotional (情感的) support.At times, they also help with our everyday lives, cooking a meal, doing chores, or giving us a lift when we need one.Friends also are there to offer advice, an ear to listen, or a shoulder to cry on.

Friends also help us reduce stress.Not only do they listen to us when we feel stressed, but they also discuss what is stressing us.Sharing interests and doing activities with friends help us forget about problems at work or at home.For a short time, we can lose ourselves in a pleasant activity and perhaps laugh and breathe more easily.

Thirteen­year­old Kaylee has a lot of friends—532, actually, if you count up her online friends.And she spends a lot of time with them.

But is it possible that Kaylee's online friendships could be making her lonely？That's what some experts believe.Connecting online is a great way to stay in touch, they say.However, some experts worry that many kids are so busy connecting online that they might be missing out on true friendships.

Could this be true? During your parents' childhoods, connecting with friends usually meant spending time with them in the flesh.Kids played Scrabble around a table, not Words With Friends on their phones.When friends missed each other, they picked up the telephone.Friends might even write letters to each other.

Today, most communication takes place online.A typical teen sends 2, 000 texts a month and spends more than 44 hours per week in front of a screen.Much of this time is spent on social media platforms(平台)．

In fact，in many ways, online communication can make friendships stronger，“There's definitely a positive influence.Kids can stay in constant contact, which means they can share more of their feelings with each other，” says Katie Davis，co­author of The App Generation.

Other experts, however, warn that too much online communication can get in the way of forming deep friendships.“If we are constantly checking in with our virtual words, we will have little time for our real­world friendships，” says Larry Rosen, a professor at California State University.Rosen also worries that today's kids might mistake the “friends” on the social media for true friends in life.However, in tough times, you don't need someone to like your picture or share your blogs.You need someone who will keep your secrets and hold your hand.You would like to talk face to face.

[语篇解读]　本文是一篇议论文。现在的青少年把更多的时间用于网上交友， 这样的现象让专家很担忧。专家认为青少年如果不断地关注虚拟世界， 他们将几乎没有时间在现实世界建立真正的友谊。

5．What is the purpose of the first paragraph?

A．To summarize the text.

B．To tell about true friends.

C．To bring up a discussion.

D．To encourage online friendship.

解析　推理判断题。根据第一段和第二段可知， 第一段阐述了13岁的Kaylee在网络上有很多朋友的现象， 而第二段就此现象提出了一个疑问。由此推知， 第一段目的是提出一个讨论的话题， 从而引出下文对于这个话题的讨论。

A．In any case.　　　　　 B．In person.

C．In full measure.  D．In advance.

答案　B

7．What is Katie's attitude towards online communication?
