三、阅读理解

A

In the past decade,the use of social media has grown in a way that no one could have guessed.It has turned some teenagers into celebrities and turned the famous into the infamous,overnight.

A key feature of social media,however,is its volatility.Trends come and go,disappearing almost as quickly as they appeared.So,what were the key social media trends of 2018?

Short video apps such as Tik Tok and its Chinese equivalent(等同物) Douyin,took the world by storm.TheTelegraph reported that Tik Tok was ranked 8th on Apple’s App store in April.And Douyin had more than 300 million domestic monthly active users in June at home,CNBC said.

Why are these short videos—which are rarely longer than a few minutes—so popular?Jiang Yige,Singapore-based analyst at FengHe Fund Management,has a theory.“Short videos are just right to fill in the little gaps in our busy schedules,”he told CNBC.

These videos—apart from being very convenient—are important to teenagers because they allow them to express themselves,according to TeenVogue.

Liza Koshy,a user of the US app Musical.ly who has over 2 million followers,said,“The sense of community that users of short video apps get is another appealing feature.”

Live Streaming(直播) is a feature of our social media life that now seems as natural as sunrise.It’s a pretty neat idea:You can watch anyone,anywhere,live.However,China has taken live streaming to a whole new level.In China,more than 100 million viewers monthly watch a live streaming video.Forbes thought that a number of factors had led to the popularity of live streams.Among them is viewers’ ability to interact with unknown names.

However,the quick development of social media may be having side effects too.Fake news is one serious problem it causes.Materials shared on these platforms are often not checked for accuracy.The most basic content can be false and can mislead users one way or another.We use social media all the time;that doesn’t mean that we understand the influence it is having on us.We should be mindful of both the time we spend on it and its impact on our minds.

1.The underlined word “volatility” in paragraph 2 possibly means “being 　　　”. 

A.changeable　 B.steady

C.promising D.violent

答案:A

解析:词义猜测题。根据第二段第二句可知,潮流更迭很快,由此可推知,社交媒体的一个主要特点就是它的多变性,故A项正确。

2.According to Liza Koshy,short videos are very popular because 　　　. 

A.they are very convenient

B.they help people kill time

C.they provide a sense of community

3.What do we know about social media?

A.The information from social media is totally reliable.

B.When it comes to social media,people only know short videos.

C.People can’t communicate with each other without social media.

D.There is still much room for social media to make improvement.

答案:D

解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句可知,社交媒体的迅速发展带来了一些负面影响,由此可推知,社交媒体还有需要改进的地方。故选D项。

4.What is the author’s attitude to the quick development of social media?

A.Objective. B.Subjective.

C.Favorable. D.Disapproving.

答案:A

B

The Internet brings us many advantages.

With the Internet,people can send and receive emails.On the Internet,people can skim over news.Using the Telnet,the user anywhere on the Internet can log into any other machine on which he has an account.It is possible to use the FTP programme to copy files from one machine on the Internet to another.

But the Internet also brings us troubles.

Internet use seems to cause a fall in psychological(心理的) health,according to research at Carnegie Mellon University.Even people who spent just a few hours a week on the Internet experienced more depression and loneliness than those who logged on less often,the two-year study showed.And it wasn’t that people who were already feeling bad spent more time on the Internet,but that using the Net actually seemed to cause the bad feelings.

Researchers are puzzled over the results,which were completely opposite to what they had expected.They expected that the Net would prove socially healthier than television,since the Net allows users to choose their information and to communicate with others.

The fact that Internet use reduces time used for family and friends may be the reason for the drop in health,researchers said.Faceless,bodiless “virtual(虚拟的)” communication may be less psychologically satisfying than actual conversations,and the relationships formed through it may not be so deep.Another possibility is that exposure to the wider world through the Net makes users less satisfied with their lives.

“But it’s important to remember this is not about the technology,it’s about how it is used,”said one of the researchers.“It really points to the need for considering social factors(因素) when you design new inventions.” 

5.The writer mainly wants to tell us that 　　　. 

A.the Internet can bring people many advantages

B.the Internet use may cause psychological problems

C.the Internet users are not satisfied with their lives

D.we shouldn’t use the Internet

答案:B

解析:主旨大意题。文章虽然谈论了网络的优点,但从其篇幅和重点来看,文章侧重于谈论由于使用网络而产生的一些问题,主题句在第四段。作者其实是想提醒我们使用网络可能有损心理健康。故选B项。

6.Why are the researchers puzzling over the results?

A.Because the results were completely different from what they had thought.

B.Because the Net proved socially healthier than television.

C.Because the Internet users were all healthier.

D.Because the Internet users experienced less depression and loneliness.

答案:A

解析:细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Researchersarepuzzledovertheresults,whichwerecompletelyoppositetowhattheyhadexpected.”可知,研究人员对结果很苦恼是因为结果和他们所想的完全不同。故选A项。

7.According to the passage,which of the following is TRUE?

A.Users anywhere on the Internet can log into any other machine.

B.The two-year study showed that using the Net seemed to cause the bad feelings.

C.People who are already feeling bad spend much more time on the Internet.

D.Relationships formed through the Internet are usually deep.

答案:B

解析:细节理解题。由第二段中的“UsingtheTelnet...whichhehasanaccount.”知道答案:A的成立必须是有前提的;由第四段中的“Anditwasn’tthatpeoplewhowerealreadyfeelingbad...feelings.”可知C项错误;由第六段中的“...andtherelationshipsformedthroughitmaynotbesodeep.”可知D项错误。故选B项。

8.What does the underlined part in the last paragraph mean?

A.What matters is not the technology but how it is used.

B.This passage is not about the technology but about how it is used.

C.We should remember to learn about the technology.

D.We should remember to learn how to use computers.

答案:A

解析:句意猜测题。作者通过画线部分想表明这一切与技术本身无关,而是看我们怎么利用。故选A项。
