尝试翻译:令人真正担心的是,我认识的每个人,包括我自己,都不能够戒掉互联网。
Ⅱ.翻转课堂(课文语法填空)
Fill in the following blanks after reading the passage.
A recent survey shows that it is difficult 1.to make (make) friends “in real life” 2.compared (compare) with online and that one no longer sees the very people he wants to see 3.because he has been “talking” to them all day.
Mark,4.who has 500 friends online,spends lots of time 5.on the Internet.However,he’s never felt 6.lonelier (lonely).As soon as he opens his eyes in the morning,he 7.checks (check) his emails,texts and posts on social networking apps or websites,which have him 8.glued (glue) to the phone 9.constantly (constant).Mark often chatters away on social networking sites,10.delaying (delay) his tasks and homework.That’s the problem with social networking.What do you think teenagers like Mark should do
[原文呈现] SO CLOSE,YET SO FAR
Mark never stops socialising with his friends online.But he’s also never felt more alone[1].
[1]此处为“否定词+比较级”结构,表示最高级意义。
Where am I What am I doing If you’re one of my 500 friends online,you’ll always be the first to know.My phone and laptop are never out of touching distance①,so I’m constantly posting updates on social media② [2]—whether I’m having a coffee,on my way to③ school,watching TV...even when I’m in the shower④.As soon as I open my eyes in the morning[3],I check through⑤ all my social networking apps,read my emails and answer text messages.I do the same thing all over again while I’m having breakfast.
[2]be constantly doing...可理解成be always doing...,带有感彩,意为“一直做某事,总是做某事”。
[3]此处是as soon as引导的时间状语从句,意为“一……就……”。
I live in a university dorm⑥ with a couple of great roommates.I have a never-ending flow of⑦ messages and updates from all the people I associate with⑧ online.Yet the truth of the matter is:I feel lonely.
I’m barely⑨ the only person who feels this way.According to research,over two-thirds⑩ of young people find it easier to make friends online than it is “in real life”[4].I’m way beyond a shy or reserved person[5],but I’m wired up every day,like most of my friends.On the surface ,I have an active social life.I attend parties and play sports but I’m always distracted .They say that phones bring people closer together but in reality,my mind is always a million miles away.I obsess over exactly how many followers I have on my account,but I can’t remember the birthdays of some of my oldest mates.
[4]“find+it+adj.+to do”是find的复合结构,其中it是形式宾语,adj.是宾补,to do是真正的宾语,意为“觉得做某事很……”。
[5]句中的way用作副词,修饰介词beyond,可以理解成far beyond “远非”。
Social networking dominates my life in so many ways.Sometimes I set deadlines for myself:I will start doing my homework at 8 pm,and aim to finish in two hours.At 7.50 pm,I’m still scrolling through my friends’ silly posts and photos.Before I know it,it’s 9.30 pm and I still haven’t moved an inch from the sofa[6].I download song after song,video after video,but I’m not really paying attention.The stimulation is in chasing after the next song rather than truly enjoying it.My friends try to drag me away from my phone,but as soon as I’m alone again,I’m desperate to get back to the online world and the intense activity that it provides.
[6]haven’t moved an inch from the sofa意为“在沙发上一动不动”。
I constantly feel depressed,dissatisfied and alone.Since I spend so much time socialising online[7],I keep delaying things that are important in my real life:homework,tasks,connecting with my friends and family members in a meaningful way.It’s funny that my friends and I chatter away online so much,but we end up having nothing to say when we meet.
[7]此处是since引导的原因状语从句,since意为“由于,因为”。
A few days ago,I went out for a dinner get-together with some friends.My best friend left the table for 30 minutes because he had to take a call.Some spent the dinner bending over their phones,texting friends online but ignoring the ones who sat right in front of them[8].And the extraordinary thing is nobody thought this was rude;it’s just how life is nowadays.On a family holiday last summer,my sister spent all her time complaining that she needed to charge her phone.When it was charged,she just spent hours reading about her favourite popstar;not once did she lift her head to enjoy the view outside her window[9].
[8]句中的bending...,texting...but ignoring...为并列结构,用在spend...(in) doing...中。
[9]此处是not once引起的部分倒装句。“否定词not+状语”置于句首时,句子用部分倒装。
What is really worrying[10] is that no one I know,including myself,could go cold turkey.I can’t even imagine going without social networking for a week—think of all the important appointments,invitations and news updates you would miss! Alcoholics who want to quit drinking can avoid booze,but how do we give up our phones After all,I need it for my studies because my teachers and classmates need to contact me at any time.
[10]此处是what引导的主语从句。
So,that’s the problem with social networking.We’re hard-wired in,but we’re more disconnected than ever.

[参考译文] 这么近,但又那么远
马克从未间断与朋友们的网上交往,但是他也从来没有感到这么孤独过。
我在哪里 我在做什么 如果你是我的500个网友之一,你总会第一个知道。我的手机和笔记本电脑一直在触手可及的地方,所以我可以不断地在社交媒体上发表最新信息——无论是在喝咖啡、上学的路上、看电视……甚至在洗澡的时候。早上一睁开眼,我就会立刻去查看所有社交网络应用程序,阅读电子邮件并回复短信。我在吃早餐的时候会再做一遍这些事情。
我住在大学宿舍里,室友们都很好。我总是不停地收到交往的网友发来的信息和最新消息。 然而事实却是:我感到孤独。
我不是唯一一个有这种感觉的人。研究显示,超过三分之二的年轻人发现在网上交友比在“现实生活中”交友更容易。我远非一个害羞或含蓄的人,但是我每天都在网上,我的朋友们大多也是如此。从表面上看,我的社交生活很丰富。我也参加派对和体育运动,但总是不能专心。 他们说手机让人们联系更加紧密,但实际上,我的思绪总是飞到十万八千里之外。我总是惦记自己的账户有多少人关注,但却记不住一些老朋友的生日。
社交网络在很多方面都控制着我的生活。有时我会为自己设定截止时间:我要在晚上8点开始做作业,并且要在两小时内完成。晚上7:50,我还在浏览朋友们发的无聊帖子和照片。等我意识到的时候已经是晚上9:30了,我还在沙发上坐着一动不动。我下载一首又一首歌曲,一个又一个视频,但其实并不在意。我的兴奋点是追寻下一首歌曲,不是真正欣赏音乐。朋友们试图让我远离手机。但是一旦我再次独自一人,我就迫不及待地想回到网络世界和它所提供的紧张活动中去。
我经常感到沮丧、不满和孤独。因为我在社交网络上花了太多时间,所以我总是拖延现实生活中重要的事情:家庭作业、任务、以及用有意义
的方式和家人朋友联系。有趣的是,我和朋友们经常在网上聊得热火朝天,但见面时却无话可说。
几天前,我和一些朋友出去吃晚饭。我最好的朋友因为不得不接听电话而离席30分钟。有些人整个晚餐都埋头在看手机,给网上的朋友发短信,却忽略了坐在他们面前的人。不可思议的是没有人认为这不礼貌;这就是现在的生活方式。在去年夏天家庭度假的时候,我的姐姐把她所有的时间都花在抱怨她需要给手机充电这件事情上了。手机充上电后,又花了数小时浏览她最喜欢的流行歌星的消息,她一次也没有抬起头来欣赏窗外的风景。
令人真正担心的是,我认识的每个人,包括我自己,都不能够戒掉互联网。我甚至无法想象一周没有社交网络的情形——想想所有你可能错过的重要约会、邀请和新闻更新吧!想要戒酒的酗酒者可以避免饮酒,但我们如何杜绝手机呢 毕竟,我需要用它来学习,因为我的老师和同学需要随时与我联系。
所以,这就是社交网络的问题。我们被网络连接,但却比以往更加疏远。(共38张PPT)

Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分,共20分)
A
Adults living by themselves may have a higher risk of dying from cancer compared with those who live with others,a new study suggests.
The research,published Thursday in the journal Cancer,found that among 114,772 working age adults who lived alone,2.5% of them died of cancer during the study period.Meanwhile,among 358,876 adults who lived with others,1.6%,a much smaller share,died of cancer in the study.Adults aged 18 to 64 were enrolled in the study and researchers found the strongest association was in those aged 45 to 64.
The researchers from the American Cancer Society analyzed data on more than 470,000 adults from the National Health Interview Survey,taking a close look at how many of the adults lived alone versus with others and how many died of cancer.
“Our findings may suggest that stronger social support existing in communities from racial minority groups and people of lower socioeconomic status might have alleviated (缓解) the association between living alone and cancer death in this group,but we need more research on reasons for these differences,” Islami said.
Compared with adults living with others,adults living alone were more likely to have poor self reported health status,activity limitation,serious psychological distress,severe obesity,smoke cigarettes,or consume alcohol,according to the study.
“More research is needed to identify the exact underlying mechanisms to explain the association between living alone and cancer death”,Kathrin Milbury,associate professor of behavioral science at the University of Texas,who was not involved in the new study,said in an email.
“The biological mechanisms of social isolation are not fully understood;however,humans are social beings,and being isolated creates a state of biological stress that is harmful to our health,” Milbury said.“The other mechanism I believe is related to being in a relationship with others,beyond benefiting just from their presence,but also receiving their care and support.”
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新的研究表明,相比于与他人同住的人,独居的成年人死于癌症的风险更高。
1.How does the author justify the finding in paragraph 2
A.By analyzing reasons.

答案 B [写作手法题。第二段是通过列举具体研究数据来证明“独居的成年人死于癌症的风险更高”这一结论的,故选B项。]
2.Which of the following will Islami probably agree with
A.Stronger social support will not cause cancer death.
B.People in their 50s are more likely to survive cancer.
C.Influences of social support need to be further explored.
D.People from minority groups have stronger social support.
答案 C [推理判断题。根据第四段中Islami所说的话可知,Islami认为需要进行更多的研究来解释这些差异的原因。由此可知,Islami会赞同引起这种差异的社会支持的影响需要进一步探索的想法,故选C项。]
3.Which problem is not mentioned about living alone
A.Abusing alcohol.
B.Walking inconvenience.
C.Gaining weight.
D.Communicative disability.
答案 D [细节理解题。根据第五段“Compared with adults living with...alcohol,according to the study.”可知,独居的问题包括酗酒、活动不便和肥胖,D项“交际障碍”文章未提及,故选D项。]

A.Scientists have revealed the underlying mechanisms.
B.Receiving others’ support helps relieve social isolation.
C.Lonely people can receive more social care and support.
D.More scientists have been attracted to the great research.
答案 B [推理判断题。根据最后一段中Milbury所说的话和“The other mechanism I believe...receiving their care and support.”可推知,得到他人的支持有助于缓解社会孤立,故选B项。]

The message is drummed into us from childhood:forgive people who’ve wronged you,because it’s the right thing to do.Forgiveness is a virtue,we’re told,the only way for us to truly move on and heal.But forgiving someone is not always what’s best for us.In fact,if someone has hurt you deeply and the relationship isn’t healthy,trying to “fix” things can do more harm than good.
Most of us would probably agree that forgiving a wrongdoer means letting go of negative feelings like anger towards them.Actually it pressures us to minimize our feelings and revise our boundaries—to say “it’s OK” when for us,it isn’t.And when someone doesn’t make us feel seen or safe,forgiving them can actually weaken our self respect.A 2010 research paper published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology called this “the doormat effect”.It found that people who forgave partners that didn’t make them feel valued had less respect for themselves,along with a weakened sense of self.
If you keep on forgiving someone who’s done wrong,it can encourage that person to keep hurting you.That’s what 2011 research by psychology professor James K.McNulty argues.He looked at how 72 newlywed couples expressed forgiveness towards acts of aggression (攻击性),and whether this caused any changes in the wrongdoer’s behaviour.He found that when a partner was more likely to forgive those acts,the aggressor was more likely to keep committing them.This is because facing the consequences of their actions is what motivates people to change their ways,and being offered a clean sheet can allow them to avoid making changes.Forgiving frequent and major offenses (冒犯),like verbal or physical abuse,can do more harm than good.
What if,instead of looking to forgiveness like a magic medicine,we put our energies towards accepting a situation for what it is This way,we can focus on recognizing what happened and coming to terms with it,however that looks for us and without any sense of obligation towards our offender.It’ll still be a process,sure,but it’s one centred around you and your needs.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了作者对原谅的必要性的看法。
5.What will happen if we forgive a wrongdoer according to “the doormat effect”
A.We’ll be free from negative thoughts.
B.The relationship will be strengthened.
C.The wrongdoer will change his behavior.
D.We’ll have less self respect and self awareness.
答案 D [细节理解题。根据第二段“It found that people who...a weakened sense of self.”可知,如果我们原谅一个错事者,我们的自尊和自我意识也会减少,故选D项。]
6.How does the writer mainly illustrate his argument
A.By making comparisons.
B.By listing examples.
C.By citing research results.
D.By giving definitions.
答案 C [写作手法题。根据第二段中“A 2010 research paper published...called this ‘the doormat effect’.”以及第三段中“That’s what 2011 research by psychology professor James K.McNulty argues.”可知,作者主要是通过引用研究成果阐述他的论点的,故选C项。]
7.What can be concluded from James K.McNulty’s research
A.Forgiving a wrongdoer’s behavior stops him from hurting others.
B.Facing the consequences of aggression does more harm than good.
C.Ignoring major offenses encourages a wrongdoer’s acts of aggression.
D.Forgiving frequent aggression prevents a wrongdoer from making changes.
答案 D [细节理解题。根据第三段可知,从James K.McNulty的研究中得出的结论是,原谅频繁的攻击行为会阻止一个做错事的人做出改变,他们更可能继续犯下这些行为。故选D项。]
8.What does the writer suggest readers do
A.Forgive and forget.
B.Learn to take the situation as it is.
C.Center on yourself.
D.Keep on good terms with offenders.
答案 B [推理判断题。根据最后一段“What if,instead of looking...coming to terms with it”可知,作者建议读者学会认清现状,故选B项。]

A
Adults living by themselves may have a higher risk of dying from cancer compared with those who live with others,a new study suggests.
The research,published Thursday in the journal Cancer,found that among 114,772 working-age adults who lived alone,2.5% of them died of cancer during the study period.Meanwhile,among 358,876 adults who lived with others,1.6%,a much smaller share,died of cancer in the study.Adults aged 18 to 64 were enrolled in the study and researchers found the strongest association was in those aged 45 to 64.
The researchers from the American Cancer Society analyzed data on more than 470,000 adults from the National Health Interview Survey,taking a close look at how many of the adults lived alone versus with others and how many died of cancer.
“Our findings may suggest that stronger social support existing in communities from racial minority groups and people of lower socioeconomic status might have alleviated (缓解) the association between living alone and cancer death in this group,but we need more research on reasons for these differences,” Islami said.
Compared with adults living with others,adults living alone were more likely to have poor self-reported health status,activity limitation, serious psychological distress,severe obesity,smoke cigarettes,or consume alcohol,according to the study.
“More research is needed to identify the exact underlying mechanisms to explain the association between living alone and cancer death”,Kathrin Milbury,associate professor of behavioral science at the University of Texas,who was not involved in the new study,said in an email.
“The biological mechanisms of social isolation are not fully understood;however,humans are social beings,and being isolated creates a state of biological stress that is harmful to our health,” Milbury said.“The other mechanism I believe is related to being in a relationship with others,beyond benefiting just from their presence,but also receiving their care and support.”
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新的研究表明,相比于与他人同住的人,独居的成年人死于癌症的风险更高。
1.How does the author justify the finding in paragraph 2
A.By analyzing reasons.

B.People in their 50s are more likely to survive cancer.

D.People from minority groups have stronger social support.
解析 推理判断题。根据第四段中Islami所说的话可知,Islami认为需要进行更多的研究来解释这些差异的原因。由此可知,Islami会赞同引起这种差异的社会支持的影响需要进一步探索的想法,故选C项。
√
3.Which problem is not mentioned about living alone
A.Abusing alcohol.
B.Walking inconvenience.
C.Gaining weight.
D.Communicative disability.
解析 细节理解题。根据第五段“Compared with adults living with...alcohol,according to the study.”可知,独居的问题包括酗酒、活动不便和肥胖,D项“交际障碍”文章未提及,故选D项。

4.What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs
A.Scientists have revealed the underlying mechanisms.
B.Receiving others’ support helps relieve social isolation.
C.Lonely people can receive more social care and support.
D.More scientists have been attracted to the great research.
解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段中Milbury所说的话和“The other mechanism I believe...receiving their care and support.”可推知,得到他人的支持有助于缓解社会孤立,故选B项。

The message is drummed into us from childhood:forgive people who’ve wronged you,because it’s the right thing to do.Forgiveness is a virtue,we’re told,the only way for us to truly move on and heal.But forgiving someone is not always what’s best for us.In fact,if someone has hurt you deeply and the relationship isn’t healthy,trying to “fix” things can do more harm than good.
Most of us would probably agree that forgiving a wrongdoer means letting go of negative feelings like anger towards them.Actually it pressures us to minimize our feelings and revise our boundaries—to say “it’s OK” when for us,it isn’t.And when someone doesn’t make us feel seen or safe,forgiving them can actually weaken our self-respect.A 2010 research paper published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology called this “the doormat effect”.It found that people who forgave partners that didn’t make them feel valued had less respect for themselves,along with a weakened sense of self.
If you keep on forgiving someone who’s done wrong,it can encourage that person to keep hurting you.That’s what 2011 research by psychology professor James K.McNulty argues.He looked at how 72 newlywed couples expressed forgiveness towards acts of aggression (攻击性),and whether this caused any changes in the wrongdoer’s behaviour.He found that when a partner was more likely to forgive those acts,the aggressor was more likely to keep committing them.This is because facing the consequences of their actions is what motivates people to change their ways,and being offered a clean sheet can allow them to avoid making changes.Forgiving frequent and major offenses (冒犯),like verbal or physical abuse,can do more harm than good.
What if,instead of looking to forgiveness like a magic medicine,we put our energies towards accepting a situation for what it is This way,we can focus on recognizing what happened and coming to terms with it,however that looks for us and without any sense of obligation towards our offender.It’ll still be a process,sure,but it’s one centred around you and your needs.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了作者对原谅的必要性的看法。
5.What will happen if we forgive a wrongdoer according to “the doormat effect”
A.We’ll be free from negative thoughts.
B.The relationship will be strengthened.
C.The wrongdoer will change his behavior.
D.We’ll have less self-respect and self-awareness.
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段“It found that people who...a weakened sense of self.”可知,如果我们原谅一个错事者,我们的自尊和自我意识也会减少,故选D项。
√
6.How does the writer mainly illustrate his argument
A.By making comparisons. B.By listing examples.
C.By citing research results. D.By giving definitions.

√
7.What can be concluded from James K.McNulty’s research
A.Forgiving a wrongdoer’s behavior stops him from hurting others.
B.Facing the consequences of aggression does more harm than good.
C.Ignoring major offenses encourages a wrongdoer’s acts of aggression.
D.Forgiving frequent aggression prevents a wrongdoer from making changes.
解析 细节理解题。根据第三段可知,从James K.McNulty的研究中得出的结论是,原谅频繁的攻击行为会阻止一个做错事的人做出改变,他们更可能继续犯下这些行为。故选D项。
√
8.What does the writer suggest readers do
A.Forgive and forget.
B.Learn to take the situation as it is.
C.Center on yourself.
D.Keep on good terms with offenders.
解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段“What if,instead of looking... coming to terms with it”可知,作者建议读者学会认清现状,故选B项。
