03 Lesson 3 Internet and Friendships Part Ⅱ 拓展阅读训练 1 A [广东广州执信中学2024高一月考] The wallet is heading for extinction. As a day-to-day essential, it will die off with the generation who read printed newspapers. The kind of shopping—where you hand over notes and count out change in return—now happens only in the most minor of our retail encounters, like buying a bar of chocolate or a pint of milk from a corner shop. At the shops where you spend any real money, that money is increasingly abstracted. And this is more and more true, the higher up the scale you go. At the most cutting-edge （最前沿的） retail stores, you don’t go and stand at any kind of cash register when you decide to pay. The staff are equipped with iPads to take your payment while you relax on a sofa. 刷阅读理解 2 Which is nothing more or less than excellent service, if you have the money. But across society, the abstraction of the idea of cash makes me uneasy. Maybe I’m just old-fashion. But earning money isn’t quick or easy for most of us. Isn’t it a bit weird that spending it should happen in half a blink （眨眼睛） of an eye? Doesn’t a wallet—that time-honoured Friday-night feeling of pleasing, promising fatness—represent something that matters? 刷阅读理解 3 But I’ll leave the economics to the experts. What bothers me about the death of the wallet is the change it represents in our physical environment. Everything about the look and feel of a wallet—the way the fastenings and materials wear and tear and loosen with age, the plastic and paper and gold and silver, and handwritten phone numbers and printed cinema tickets—is the very opposite of what our world is becoming. The opposite of a wallet is a smartphone or a tablet. The rounded edges, cool glass, smooth and unknowable as a pebble. Instead of digging through pieces of paper and peering into corners, we move our fingers left and right. No more counting out coins. Show your wallet—if you still have one—some love. It may not be here much longer. 刷阅读理解 【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文。随着电子商务的发展，支付方式发生变化，传统钱包逐渐被取代。在瞬息万变的现代世界里，作者感到不安。 1.What is happening to the wallet?( ) A A.It is disappearing. B.It is being fattened. C.It is becoming costly. D.It is changing in style. 解析 细节理解题。根据第一段第一句The wallet is heading for extinction.可知，钱包正在消失。故选A项。 刷阅读理解 5 【方法总结】利用语义转换解细节理解题 在细节理解题中，选项中往往不会直接出现原文中的信息，而是借助同义转换、概念解析、归纳事实等方法对原文信息进行适当变换。如把一些词汇或表达进行同义替换、词性转换等。解答此类题目时，首先应根据题干的信息确定原文关键内容所在的位置，然后找到关键信息，在选项中寻找与原文关键信息最相近的表达，如同义词、近义词等，最后代入题干，判断所选答案是否正确。如本题A项中的disappearing呼应原文中的heading for extinction，表示“正在消失”。 刷阅读理解 6 2.What makes the author feel uncomfortable nowadays?( ) B A.Saving money is becoming a thing of the past. B.Spending money is so fast and easy. C.Earning money is getting more difficult. D.The pleasing Friday-night feeling is fading. 解析 细节理解题。根据第二段中的the abstraction of the idea of cash makes me uneasy和But earning money isn’t quick or easy for most of us. Isn’t it a bit weird that spending it should happen in half a blink of an eye? 可知，支付方式的变化使现金逐渐消失，取而代之的是快捷的数码支付，作者认为人们挣钱不容易，而花钱却可能只在转瞬之间，对此感到不安。故选B项。 刷阅读理解 7 3.What does the author think of what’s happening to the wallet?( ) A A.It represents a change in the modern world. B.It has something to do with everybody’s life. C.It marks the end of a time-honoured tradition. D.It is the concern of contemporary economists. 解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的What bothers me about the death of the wallet is the change it represents in our physical environment.可知，作者认为钱包的逐渐消失代表了一个时代环境的变化。故选A项。 刷阅读理解 8 4.What can we infer from the passage about the author?( ) D A.He is resistant to social changes. B.He is against technological progress. C.He feels reluctant to part with the traditional wallet. D.He feels insecure in the ever-changing modern world. 解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段第二句What bothers me about the death of the wallet is the change it represents in our physical environment.可知，传统钱包的消失代表着实体环境的变化，后面作者提到塑料、纸张、金银、手写的电话号码和打印的电影票等等，这些实体都逐渐消失了，取而代之的是智能手机或平板电脑，我们也不再翻阅纸张，不再窥探角落，而是左右移动手指，我们也不再数硬币了。而这些变化让作者感到不安和困惑。由此推断作者在瞬息万变的现代世界中有一种不安全感。故选D项。 刷阅读理解 9 长难句分析 句意：这种购物方式——你递上钞票，清点找回的零钱——现在只在我们购买最普通的零售商品时能够看见，比如从街头小店里买一块巧克力或一品脱牛奶。 刷阅读理解 10 B [北京交大附中2024高一期中] The biggest criticism （批评） of social networking is that our young people are losing their offline friends to online friends. In fact there is a lot of research that shows these criticisms are generally unfounded. Research by the Pew Internet and American Life Project found that people are not replacing offline friends with online companions but are using them to support their offline relationships. However, there is one part of social networking that is deeply worrying. We find ourselves in a hyper-connected world where people access social media day and night, excited to make announcements about the tiniest details of their lives. Research is starting to show that this culture is negatively affecting not our friendships but our character. Professor Larry Rosen, in his book iDisorder, says that young people who overuse social networking sites can become vain, aggressive. But perhaps an even more disturbing effect is that one of our most basic emotions seems to be disappearing—empathy. This is the emotion that bonds us together; it allows us to see the world from our friends’ points of view. Without it, we are far less able to connect and form meaningful adult relationships. 刷阅读理解 11 Sherry Turkle, a professor of Social Studies of Science and Technology at MIT, suggests that people are no longer comfortable being alone. This is something confirmed by a study where 200 university students were asked to go without social media for 24 hours. Many admitted an addiction to their online social network; most complained that they felt cut off from their family and friends. But being alone is a time, Turkle argues, when we self-reflect and get in touch with who we really are. It is only when we do this that we can make meaningful friendships with others. She believes, as is the title of her book, that we are simply “Alone Together”. These potential changes in our characters are rather disturbing. If nothing is done, our young people could well be in trouble. Therefore, suggestions about ways to encourage our young people to avoid the problems of social networking should be made, so they can develop the kinds of friendships that are required to grow into well-adjusted and happy adults. 刷阅读理解 【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文。社交网络有助于让我们与更加多元的人交流，提升我们的幸福感，但研究开始表明，沉迷于社交网络会对青少年的性格产生负面影响。 1.What does the underlined word “unfounded” in paragraph 1 probably mean?( ) B A.Undoubted. B.False. C.Acceptable. D.Illegal. 解析 词义猜测题。根据画线词上文的The biggest criticism of social networking is that our young people are losing their offline friends to online friends.可知，目前人们对社交网络最大的批评是社交网络会让人们失去线下的朋友。结合下文的Research by… found that people are not replacing offline friends with online companions but are using them to support their offline relationships.可知，人们没有用网络伴侣取代线下的朋友，而是用他们来支持自己的线下关系，这是对画线词上文观点的一种否定。由此推测出，unfounded意为“无事实依据的；站不住脚的”，与false最接近。故选B项。 刷阅读理解 13 2.What can we learn from the passage?( ) D A.The advantages of social media outweigh the disadvantages. B.Young people tend to develop offline friendships. C.Young people can’t go without social media. D.We are becoming unable to understand others well. 解析 推理判断题。根据第三段中的But perhaps an even more disturbing effect is that one of our most basic emotions seems to be disappearing—empathy… Without it, we are far less able to connect and form meaningful adult relationships.可知，我们的同情心能够让我们与朋友建立联系，从朋友的角度认识世界，如果没有同情心，我们就很难建立起有意义的人际关系。由此可推测出，同情心的消失让我们变得无法很好地理解他人。故选D项。 刷阅读理解 14 3.According to Sherry Turkle, how can we make meaningful friendships with others?( ) C A.By getting in touch with online friends. B.By avoiding the problems of social networking. C.By reflecting and getting in touch with ourselves. D.By having discussions with a much more diverse set of people. 解析 细节理解题。根据第四段中的But being alone is a time, Turkle argues, when we self-reflect and get in touch with who we really are. It is only when we do this that we can make meaningful friendships with others.可知，谢里·特克认为与他人建立有意义的友谊的方式是自我反思并了解自我。故选C项。 刷阅读理解 15 4.What does the passage mainly talk about?( ) D A.Internet culture causes various problems. B.We are losing some most important emotions. C.Online friendships do good to offline friendships. D.Social networking affects young people’s personalities. 解析 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段最后一句Research is starting to show that this culture is negatively affecting not our friendships but our character.可知，文章主要论述了新的研究开始表明，社交网络会对青少年的性格产生负面影响。故选D项。 刷阅读理解 16 长难句分析 句意：因此，应该就如何鼓励青少年避免社交网络带来的问题提出建议，以便他们可以建立起成长为适应良好、快乐的成年人所需的各种友谊。 刷阅读理解 17 [全国新高考Ⅰ2024年1月·浙江] In the past few years, online learning has become a significant part of the university and college experience. 1. . But are all online courses created equal? How can you be sure that digital learning is right for you? 2. . We interviewed students and professors to get their advice about online courses.
