[材料选自译林(2020)新教材必修第三册Unit 3] ◎ The Internet：a world without frontiers① The Internet has the power to connect people across the world② to a single shared community.Billions③ of people in different parts of the world have joined it already, and obviously④ many more will follow.Even in the countryside, the Internet enables people to reach beyond their villages and get in touch with⑤ the outside world.We can achieve almost anything online—[1]with access⑥ to the Internet come some truly life­changing advantages. [1]with access to the Internet后接了一个倒装结构，加强强调语气。正常的语序是some truly life­changing advantages come with access to the Internet。 One of the greatest advantages of the Internet lies in⑦ the quick and easy access to a huge amount of information.To a certain extent⑧， the world's knowledge is all at our fingertips⑨. [2]With the click⑩ of a mouse or the touch of a button⑪， it is possible to find out almost anything we care to know, from recipes⑫ to travel packages⑬，from military affairs⑭ to learning resources. In the time it takes to find one book in the library, we can use a search engine⑮ to bring up⑯ millions of results.[3]No wonder the Internet has now become the first place that the majority⑰ of people turn to for information. [2]句中it作形式主语，动词不定式短语to find out almost anything为真正的主语；we care to know为省略了关系代词that的定语从句，修饰先行词anything。 [3]No wonder (that)...意为“难怪……”，是固定句型。句中that引导定语从句，修饰先行词the first place。当先行词被序数词或形容词最高级修饰时，定语从句只能用that (指物)而不能用which来引导。 The Internet has also made our lives unbelievably convenient, [4]with all sorts of goods⑱and services provided by electronic commerce⑲， more commonly known as ecommerce.You can have food delivered⑳ to you using food delivery apps and sites.[5]Gone are the days of searching shop after shop for the perfect pair of boots—you can compare styles and prices quickly and easily in the comfort of your living room.Why wait hopelessly for a taxi in the cold rain? It is now simple and fast to order one with a taxi app.Sit back and relax indoors for a few warm minutes until the driver arrives.When you wish to go on holiday, you can make all your travel arrangements just in front of the computer.Forgot to carry cash？There is no need to worry—you can pay for almost everything on your smartphone. [4]此处为with的复合结构作状语，其结构为“with＋宾语＋宾语补足语(动词ed形式)”。 [5]本句为倒装句。作表语的分词Gone前置，句子需要全部倒装，正常语序应该是The days...are gone。 Above all else， the Internet helps us establish and maintain social ties.With all sorts of communication software, physical distance no longer gets in the way.[6]No matter where we are, we are able to keep in contact with loved ones, find long­lost friends and discover whole new communities who share our hobbies.An instant message, a group chat, a video call, a comment on an update—there are endless ways to share our views or let someone know we care about them. [6]本句为主从复合句。No matter where引导让步状语从句；主句中and连接了三个并列的动词keep、 find和discover; who引导定语从句，修饰先行词communities。 [7]However, while the Internet brings many valuable advantages, being connected has its problems.As with any great invention, we must be aware of these problems and be careful to use the Internet properly and responsibly.[8]Only in this way can the Internet be a place of discovery, wonder and inspiration for everyone.It is truly a world without frontiers. [7]本句为主从复合句。while引导让步状语从句，意为“虽然，尽管”。being connected 为动词ing形式短语作主句的主语。 [8]“Only＋介词短语”置于句首，句子使用部分倒装，其结构为“Only＋副词/介词短语/状语从句＋情态动词/助动词/be＋主语＋其他”。 ◎ ①frontier ['frʌntɪə(r)] n.国界，边界；尖端，边缘 ②across the world世界各地；全世界 ③billion ['bɪljən] num.十亿 billions of数以亿计的；许多的；数十亿的 ④obviously ['ɒbviəsli] adv.显然，明显地 obvious ['ɒbviəs] adj.明显的 It is obvious that...……是显而易见的 ⑤get in touch with 与……取得联系；和……接触 lose touch with与……失去联系 ⑥access ['ækses] n.机会，权利；入径，通道 vt.到达，进入，使用 access to接近；有权使用；通向……的入口 accessible adj.可接近的；可进入的；可使用的 be accessible to可接近；可靠近；可使用 ⑦lie in(＝consist in) 存在于；位于 ⑧extent [ɪk'stent] n.程度，限度；范围 to a certain extent在一定程度上 ⑨at one's fingertips掌握(信息)，熟悉、精通(知识等)，了如指掌 ⑩click [klɪk] n.点击，单击；咔哒声 vi.& vt.使发出咔哒声；点击，单击 ⑪button ['bʌtn] n.按键；纽扣 ⑫recipe ['resəpi] n.食谱；方法，秘诀 ⑬travel packages旅游套餐 ⑭military ['mɪlətri] adj.军事的，军队的 affair [ə'feə(r)] n.公共事务，政治事务；事件，事情 military affairs军事事务 ⑮search engine 搜索引擎 ⑯bring up使显示在计算机屏幕上，调出；提出 bring down降价；使倒下 ⑰majority [mə'dʒɒrəti] n.大部分，大多数；多数票 the majority of……的大多数；大部分；多数 major ['meɪdʒə(r)] adj.主要的；重要的；大的 ⑱goods [ɡʊdz] n.商品，货品；私人财产 consumer goods消费品 ⑲commerce ['kɒmɜːs] n.商务，商业，贸易 electronic commerce(＝ecommerce)电子商务 ⑳deliver [dɪ'lɪvə(r)] vt.递送，传送；发表，宣布；交出 deliver a speech/lecture发表演讲 deliver a baby接生 delivery n.传送；递送；交付；分娩 boot [buːt] n.靴子 a pair of boots一双靴子 arrangement [ə'reɪndʒmənt] n. 安排；布置；约定；排列 make arrangements安排；做出安排；筹备 above all else最重要的是，尤其是 establish [ɪ'stæblɪʃ] vt.建立(关系或联系)；设立；确立；使得到认可；查实，确定 establishment n.建立；确立；机构；大型组织 instant ['ɪnstənt] adj.立即的，立刻的；方便的 n.瞬间，片刻；某一时刻 instantly adv.立即；马上 comment ['kɒment] n.议论，评论；批评，指责 vi.& vt.表达意见 comment on...对……评论 aware [ə'weə(r)] adj.知道，意识到；察觉到，发觉；有……意识的 be aware of意识到；觉察到；知道 awareness n.知道；认识；意识 ◎ 互联网：无疆世界 互联网拥有将全世界的人互联成一个共享群体的能力。世界各地数十亿人已加入其中，而且显而易见，更多人会接踵而至。即便在乡村，互联网也能使人们超越自己的村庄与外界联络。在网上我们几乎什么都能做到。接入互联网带来了一些实实在在改变我们生活的好处。 互联网的最大优势之一在于可以快速、方便地获取海量信息。在某种程度上，我们能随时了解全世界的知识。点一下鼠标，或者按一下按钮，就有可能找到几乎所有我们想了解的一切，从烹饪食谱到旅游套餐，从军事事务到学习资源。在图书馆找本书的工夫，我们就可以用搜索引擎让上百万的结果出现在屏幕上。难怪互联网现在已经成为大多数人查找信息的首选途径。 互联网通过电子商务——也就是通常所说的电商——提供应有尽有的商品和服务，给我们的生活带来了难以置信的便利。通过外卖程序和网站，你可以让人送餐上门。一家店一家店寻找那双最合适的靴子的日子一去不复返了。你们可以舒舒服服地待在客厅里轻松快捷地比较款式和价格。为什么要在寒冷的雨中绝望地等待出租车呢？如今，在出租车程序上预约一辆，既简单又快捷。在温暖的室内惬意地坐上几分钟，只待司机到达。想要度假的话，你只要坐在电脑前，就能搞定所有的行程安排。忘了带现金？不用担心，几乎所有的费用你都可以通过智能手机来支付。 最重要的是，互联网帮助我们建立并维持社交联系。有了各种通信软件，现实距离已不再是阻碍了。不管身在何处，我们都能与所爱之人保持联系，找到久违的朋友，发现兴趣相投的新群体。即时消息、群聊、视频通话、更新的评论——有无数方法来分享我们的观点，或让别人知晓我们对他们的关心。 然而，尽管互联网有诸多宝贵的优势，“互联”却也有其自身的问题。就像任何伟大的发明一样，我们必须意识到这些问题，并恰当地、负责任地谨慎使用互联网。唯有如此，互联网才能成为每个人的发现之地、奇妙之所、灵感之源，才能真正成为无疆世界。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
