STRONGER TOGETHER: HOW WE HAVE
BEEN CHANGED BY THE INTERNET
团结起来力量大:互联网如何改变了我们
Much has been written1 about the wonders of the World Wide Web. There are countless articles telling us2 how3 the Internet has made our lives more convenient4. We no longer have to wait in line or5 carry cash around when6 we go shopping. We can get the most updated information from large databases. We can download software, documents, and images7 whenever8 we need them. But the Internet has done much more for people than9 simply make life more convenient. People's lives have been changed by online communities and social networks10.
关于万维网奇妙之处的著述浩如烟海。讲述互联网如何使我们的生活变得更加方便的文章数不胜数。购物的时候,我们不再需要排队等候,也不需要随身携带现金。我们可以从大型数据库中获得最新的信息。在任何需要的时候,我们可以下载软件、文档和图片。然而,互联网为人们做的事情还很多,并不仅仅是让生活变得更加方便而已。在线社区和社交网络已改变了人们的生活。
Jan Tchamani, an English teacher in Birmingham11, UK, suddenly developed a serious illness and12 had to quit her job. At age 50, she found herself out of work and stuck at home with13 only her computer to keep her company14. After a while, she discovered that15 surfing the Internet16 could help her feel less lonely and bored. She could listen to music, watch films, play games, and17 explore the world. She also joined an online group where18 she could talk about her problems and get support and19 advice from others. She realised that20 one of the greatest benefits of the Internet was its ability to remove the distance21 that22 usually exists between people.
英国伯明翰的一名英语教师简·夏曼尼突然身患重病,被迫辞去工作。50岁时,她发觉自己失业了,困在家里,只有电脑相伴。过了一阵子,她发现上网可以帮助她减轻孤独和无聊。她可以听音乐,看电影,玩游戏,探索世界。她还加入了一个在线群组;在群里,她可以谈论自己的问题,获得其他人的支持和建议。她意识到互联网的最大好处之一就是能够消除通常存在于人和人之间的距离感。
She was so inspired by the people she met online that23 she decided to start an IT club to teach older people24 how to use computers25 and26 the Internet. She and her friends now organise events and27 collect money to pay for private teachers. Many people have been helped28 by the club. A 59-year-old man learnt how to apply for work online and found a great job. Now that29 he works and can take care of himself, his daughter has time to study at university. A 61-year-old woman who30 was living alone has started a small online company together with two friends. She no longer feels lonely, and31 her company has become quite successful.
她受到网友的启发,决定成立一个IT俱乐部来教年长一些的人们学习使用电脑和互联网。如今,她与朋友们一起组织各种活动,并为(俱乐部)私人教师的工资筹集资金。许多人得到了俱乐部的帮助。一位59岁的男子学会了如何在网上申请工作,而且找到了一份不错的工作。由于他有事情可做,并能够照顾好自己,他的女儿就有时间上大学了。一位61 岁的独居妇女与两位朋友一起创办了一家小型网络公司。她不再感到孤独,而且她的公司也相当成功。
Jan has started taking online classes32 to learn more33 about how to use the Internet34 to make society better. She believes that35 it36 is highly important to bridge the digital divide and37 make sure that38 everyone has access to the Internet and knows how to use new technology.Her next goal is to start a charity website to raise money39 for children in poor countries.
简开始参加网络课程,更多地学习如何利用互联网让社会变得更加美好。她认为,消除数字鸿沟、确保每个人都能使用互联网并且知晓如何运用新技术,是非常重要的。她的下一个目标是创建一个慈善网站,为贫困国家的儿童募捐。
Jan's life has been greatly improved40 by the Internet. “When41 you go through tough times, you meet others who42 are facing similar challenges,” Jan says. “Thinking about other people's situations43 inspired me to offer help.”
简的生活因互联网而得到了极大的改善。“当你身处逆境时,你会遇到面临相似挑战的人。”简说道,“想到别人的处境,我就会受到激励,伸出援助之手。”

My teacher said to a student: “Give me your phone.”
We all looked in surprise. Kyle, a student who I never saw text in class, gave the teacher his phone.
When the teacher left, two students who I often saw text in class started boasting (自夸) about how they sent text messages and never got caught. “Kyle, you don't text in class that way!” one of them said. “I put my phone under my desk so it looks like I'm looking at my textbooks.”
“Isn't it funny that we always text and never get caught, but the first time Kyle does it, he gets caught?” the other one laughed.
They must have thought they were smart, because they never got caught and Kyle did. But which situation is worse: getting caught, or getting away with it? Rules are there for a reason. These two students might not have got caught, but neither of them had good grades. They keep texting in class, not paying any attention. I think they will keep breaking the rules in the future.
People don't just break the law and get thrown into jail (监狱) right away. They take it one step at a time, starting with smaller rules. Kyle might have got caught, but at least he learned a good lesson. He will not break the rules in the future, so he will learn more in class and stay out of trouble. It's smarter not to break the rules.

“But everyone has one,” begs my son as I tell him that he won't get a smartphone. Despite my determination, it's hard not to feel sorry for him. As the end of Year 6 draws closer, the weeks are filled with stories of new classmates whose parents have, as one friend texted recently, “cracked”. Apps are springing up so that friends going to different secondary schools can easily keep in touch. But it pains me to see the anxiety and effect that smartphones cause. So I stick to my decision.
There is research conducted by the Office of Communications (Ofcom) showing that school bullying is more likely to happen on a device rather than face to face. School bullies aren't new, but their ability to reach the sanctuary (庇护) of the home is a recent development. Headteacher Jon Boyes of Herne Bay High School told parents that they'd have to sort out arguments between pupils that had occurred online.
According to the research, children who were given a phone later went on to experience better mental well-being in relation to their self-confidence and their ability to relate to others. However, those who received a phone at a younger age were more likely to experience sad thoughts, feelings of aggression towards others and the sense that they were separated from reality.
Parents should be willing to consider the idea that it's possible to refuse to follow the herd at least until their children are old enough to judge what they find on the Internet. There is power in questioning the idea that a smartphone is the only way to keep a child safe and ensure they have access to important friendships.
My son is only 10. He's nowhere near ready to deal with the confusing and harmful garbage that he will no doubt find on the Internet. He hasn't developed the emotional maturity to skillfully avoid the litter along his route. As his parent, why would I believe he could deal with what many adults struggle to get a handle on? Instead, I believe that he can survive with his old-fashioned phone. It turned out that he agreed.

In the field of education technology, some apps might be getting too smart. There are more and more apps providing help for students.
PhotoMath
The new, seemingly magic app allows users to take pictures of a math problem, and then receive a stepbystep solution. It is now the number one free app on the App Store. A PhotoMath spokeswoman says educators have welcomed the app with positive reviews, but the software causes a lot of angry public discussion and disagreement. Why? This is because students can use it to cheat when doing their math homework.
iHomework
Whether you're a high school student or a college student, there's one thing you've got for sure: a lot of homework. iHomework can help you keep track of all your homework. It can help you arrange it in a particular order according to types, or based on deadlines.
Homework Helper
Chinese Internet search company Baidu has launched an app called Homework Helper with which students can get answers to homework. Users post a picture or type their homework questions onto an online forum (论坛), and those who answer the questions can win ecoins that can be used to buy devices like laptops. The app has logged 5 million downloads, much to the concern of many parents who argue that the students spend less time thinking about challenging problems.
WolframAlpha
WolframAlpha is similar to PhotoMath, but it focuses on older students studying high levels of math and doesn't support photos. The service also produces stepbystep solutions to advanced topics, making it a popular tool for college students.
篇章导读:本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四款为学生提供帮助的教育应用程序。
1.What is the public's worry about the app PhotoMath?
A.It can't recognize pictures.
B.It doesn't provide a stepbystep solution.
C.It makes cheating at homework more likely to happen.
D.It encourages students to use smart phones more frequently.
答案:C
解析:细节理解题。根据PhotoMath部分中的“This is because students can use it to cheat when doing their math homework.(这是因为学生在做数学作业时可以用它来作弊。)”可知,公众对PhotoMath应用程序的担忧在于它使得在家庭作业中作弊的情况更容易发生。故选C。
2.What can we learn about Homework Helper?
A.It is thought highly of by teachers.
B.It is unpopular among Chinese students.
C.Many parents think it harmful to children's study.
D.Answering questions on the app wastes students' time.
答案:C
解析:推理判断题。根据Homework Helper部分中的“The app has ... about challenging problems.(这款应用程序的下载量已达到500万次,许多家长对此表示担忧,他们认为学生们花在思考具有挑战性的问题上的时间更少了。)”可推知,许多家长认为Homework Helper对孩子们的学习有害。故选C。
3.Which app is the best choice if you want to deal with advanced math problems?
A.PhotoMath. B.iHomework.
C.Homework Helper. D.WolframAlpha.
答案:D
解析:细节理解题。根据WolframAlpha部分中的“WolframAlpha is similar to ... doesn't support photos.(WolframAlpha类似于PhotoMath,但它专注于学习高水平数学的高年级学生,并且不支持照片。)”可知,如果你想解决高等数学问题,WolframAlpha应用程序是最好的选择。故选D。

Recent research demonstrates the harmful mental health effects caused by social media use, including increased rates of depression, anxiety, suicidal tendency and selfharm. Adolescents (青少年) who spend more than three hours per day on social media face twice the risk of poor mental health outcomes.
Addictive feeds—designed to make use of personal data to intensify (增强) users' content that will keep them on the platform for as long as possible—have dramatically heightened the risk to young users' wellbeing and made our children addicted to these social media outlets.
In the first seven years after addictive feeds were introduced, suicide rates for 10 to 14yearold girls doubled and hospitalizations for suicidal tendencies and attempts increased nearly twice for all adolescents.
Instead of responding to the problem, social media empires have made great efforts to keep and capture user engagement, and the consequences have been catastrophic.
Beyond the direct harm of social media addiction, the collection of children's data by these giant companies puts our kids at huge risk, leaving them vulnerable (易受伤的) to having their location and other personal data tracked, shared and sold online. As a consequence, that data is at greater risk of falling into the wrong hands—including human traffickers, identity thieves and others who might prey (欺凌) on young people.
We will not stand by and watch an arms race among social media megacorporations (大型企业) over who can best profit from our children's pain and addiction. That is why we should use and are using every tool at our disposal to fight back against these damaging practices: from the courthouse to the statehouse.
篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了网络社交媒体通过让人上瘾的内容危害青少年健康的现象,并呼吁大家保护青少年免受社交媒体的伤害。
4.What can we learn about addictive feeds?
A.They are food that can easily satisfy people.
B.They are Internet content that can get people addicted.
C.They are kept on the platform just for a short period of time.
D.They are personal data stored on the Internet for convenience.
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段“Addictive feeds ... social media outlets.”可知,上瘾式推送是指能让人上瘾的网络内容。故选B。
5.Which word can best replace the underlined word in Paragraph 4?
A.destructive B.striking
C.unique D.effective
答案:A
解析:词义猜测题。第三段介绍了上瘾式推送对青少年的严重危害,画线词上文“Instead of responding to ... capture user engagement”表明社交媒体并未对这一问题做出回应,却努力保持、吸引客户,由此可推知,这个后果是灾难性的,画线词与destructive(破坏性的,毁灭性的)意思相近。故选A。
6.Why has the author written the article?
A.To introduce a research finding.
B.To explain the harms caused by addictive feeds.
C.To blame irresponsible social media megacorporations.
D.To call on people to protect children against social media harms.
答案:D
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“We will not stand by ... these damaging practices (我们不会眼睁睁地看着社交媒体大型企业之间进行军备竞赛,谁能最大限度地从我们的孩子的痛苦和成瘾中获利。这就是为什么我们应该并正在使用我们所掌握的一切工具来反击这些破坏性做法)”可推知,作者写作本文的目的是呼吁人们保护孩子们免受社交媒体的伤害。故选D。
7.Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Mental Health Is Safe for Children
B.Teens Should Be Kept Away from Internet
C.Addictive Feeds Heighten Great Risks to Teens
D.Social Media Empires Are to Blame for Children's Safety
答案:C
解析:标题判断题。通读全文可知,文章介绍了社交媒体通过让人上瘾的内容对青少年产生危害。C项(成瘾式信息推送会显著增加青少年面临的风险)最适合作为文章标题。故选C。
Ⅱ 读后续写
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Surprise!” was the first thing I heard when I opened the door. My family and friends were all smiling at me. There were colorful balloons all over the house, a big poster saying “HAPPY BIRTHDAY”, and of course a cake with 12 candles. It was a wonderful feeling. I knew that I had finally turned twelve and I might possibly get the thing I wanted most.
I saw my mom and dad coming towards me with a small box which seemed to be a birthday present. When I opened the box, I couldn't believe my eyes. I had really gotten a mobile phone! Throwing myself into their arms, I let out a cry of joy, “Thank you! I love you guys!”
“You're welcome. We knew this was going to make you happy but we didn't only get you this because you turned twelve, but also because you are doing well in school. We expect you to keep getting good grades.”
“Of course I will.” I said confidently.
As soon as I got to school the next morning, I was showing off my phone and asking everyone for their number. It was cool how I got so many contacts on the first day.
It felt like I didn't even exist in that class anymore. I wouldn't pay much attention to the teachers because I was too busy on my phone. However, I didn't get caught using it.
I am pretty sure that the teacher did notice that I stopped paying attention to her because a week later we took a test and I failed. What was worse, my mom had to sign the test.
It was hard to show my mom the test. She was used to seeing A's and B's on my tests. Finally, I showed it to her, and she couldn't believe it. She was angry but most of all, she was disappointed.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Realizing the reason for my failure, my parents started to dislike the fact that I had a phone.
Then I started to wonder if I was wrong.
写前导读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者12岁生日时,因为在学校表现非常出色,父母送给他一部手机作为生日礼物。后来,作者因沉迷于手机考试成绩一塌糊涂,作者拿着成绩单让妈妈签字,妈妈既生气又失望。意识到由于沉迷于手机使作者考试失败,作者的父母作何感想?作者接下来又是如何做的呢?
[精彩范文]
Realizing the reason for my failure, my parents started to dislike the fact that I had a phone. They said they had noticed that I never paid attention to them. It was like I had my own little world. So they thought we didn't communicate as much with my phone. They regretted having given me a phone, which made me ignore the family and study.
Then I started to wonder if I was wrong. A week later I tried going a whole day without a phone and it didn't go that badly. I had so much fun because I was actually spending time with my family and paying attention to them. From that day on, I had a different opinion towards phones. Phones really take me away from the rest of the world. I'm not saying that phones are bad and we should not use them, but we do have to spare some time to spend with our family and not get stuck with our phones all day.

Bangladesh has a large population. The nation depends on rice as its main food. Growing rice requires a lot of water and energy, especially during the dry season from January to June when farmers mostly rely on groundwater. This results in serious reduction of groundwater as well as greenhouse gas emissions (排放).
Researchers from the University of Washington and Bangladesh's Ministry of Agriculture have developed a system called Integrated Rice Advisory System (IRAS), which uses satellite data from NASA and its partners to give farmers important information.
IRAS works by combining satellite data on water use, rainfall, and weather forecasts with crop water demand characteristics to produce location-specific suggestions for farmers. The suggestions tell farmers how much water they have, how much they are using, and how much they need for their crops. They also warn farmers if they have over or under-watered their fields.
The IRAS team states that the system will help reduce agricultural water waste by about 30 percent, cut fuel use by 45 percent, save $115 million yearly, and lower carbon emissions by 300,000 tons per year.
IRAS is an example of how global cooperation and the sharing of important data among nations can help improve food security, water management, and environmental protection around the world. “In addition to being affordable and convenient for farmers, the method can help the world become more water-efficient and energy-efficient in growing food,” said Faisal Hossain, leader of IRAS.
The IRAS team completed its first nationwide effort in June, after working with staff from Bangladesh's Department of Agricultural Extension and AgroMeteorological Information Service to set up the system. Faisal Hossain and his colleagues hope to broaden the reach of IRAS in the future, and apply it to other crops that demand large amounts of water, like sugar cane. “We believe that this affordable tool will be applied to any area where we know what crop is being grown and what their crop water demand characteristics are,” he said.
