UNIT 3 课时检测(五) “Extended reading”的课文习读环节

 

Ⅰ.阅读理解

A

Sometimes a book comes along that isn't just “interesting” or “well done” — it's a book where it seems like the author looked into your brain and wrote a book specifically for you.A book like that for me was released last week.It's called 100 Things We've Lost to the Internet, written by editor Pamela Paul.

Paul lists 100 things we used to do that the Internet has either changed or taken over completely: writing letters, printing newspapers, the joys of being bored, and not having all the knowledge in the world in your pocket.

As I often accumulate random knowledge, certain entries on the list — Being the Only One, Figuring Out Who That Actor Is — hit_me_where_I_live;_remembering detailed facts is no longer nearly as impressive when everyone has the capability to find the answer in seconds.

On and on the list goes, with every minor shift adding to the pile.What this book does so well is illustrate the growth of that pile; while any individual item might be no big deal, the collected set is significant.It's a list of ways in which the world now is different from the world then.

Obviously, Paul isn't saying that everything back then was better.Time marches on, after all, and it's tough to argue against the many benefits that the Internet has brought into our lives.But that isn't really the point.It's not about whether it used to be better.It's that it used to be different.

100 Things We've Lost to the Internet is a fun read for those of us who share some of Paul's memories and experience.We remember what it was like and we like to remember.The landscape has shifted, and no doubt it will shift again as technology's advancement continues apace (高速地)．This book serves as a reminder of the simple truth that when gains are made, sometimes something is lost.

语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一本名叫《被网络夺走的100种事物》的好书。

1．What is the purpose of the text?

A．To review and recommend a good read.

B．To comment on the effect of the Internet.

C．To argue for the viewpoint of a new book.

D．To urge the readers to value what they have.

解析：选A　写作意图题。根据全文内容尤其是第一段的描述可知，作者是在评论一本

好书。后续的段落作者介绍了此书，故本文的写作目的是对一本好读物的评论和推荐。

 

2．Which might be entries on Paul's list?

A．Maps and Eye Contact.

B．E－pay and Compact Disks.

C．Postcards and Homeschooling.

D．Photos and Washing Machines.

解析：选A　推理判断题。根据第二段第一句中的“Paul lists 100 ...taken over completely”可知，Paul所列的100种事物是我们过去常做的，但被现在的网络改变或完全夺走了，故A项《地图和目光交流》可能会进入Paul的书单中。

3．What does the underlined part “hit me where I live” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A．Prove what I'm good at.

B．Introduce how I grew up.

C．Describe the place I live in.

D．Speak out what is on my mind.

解析：选D　词义猜测题。根据第一段中的“it's a book ...for you”和第三段中的“As I often accumulate ...hit me where I live”可知，作者认为一本好书的作者似乎就在洞察你的内心，由于作者经常积累各种随机的知识，故入选该书的某些事物吸引了作者；由此可推知，Being the Only One, Figuring Out Who That Actor Is应该是说出了作者的心声。故D项与画线部分意思相近。

4．What conclusion has the author drawn after reading Paul's book?

A．Things in the past are better.

B．There're no gains without pains.

C．The Internet is a double－edged sword.

D．Technology is constantly changing the world.

解析：选B　推理判断题。 根据最后一段中的“This book serves as a reminder of the simple truth that when gains are made, sometimes something is lost.”可知，这本书提醒了我们一个简单真相：当我们取得一些收获时，有时也会失去一些东西。
