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。
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。
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,为贫穷国家的儿童募捐。
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

you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own
personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is
changing what we remember and how.
In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some
experiments.She and her research team wanted to know the Internet is
changing memory.In the first experiment, they gave people 40
unimportant facts to type into a computer.The first group of people
understood that the computer would save the information.The second
group understood that the computer would not save it.Later, the second
group remembered the information better.People in the first group knew
they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.
In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to
remember, and told them where to find the information on the
Internet.The information was in a specific computer folder (文件
夹).Surprisingly, people later remember the folder location better than
the facts.When people use the Internet, they do not remember the
information.Rather, they remember how to find it.This is called
“transactive memory”.
According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor
memories as a result of the Internet.Instead, computer users are
developing stronger transactive memories; that is, people are learning
how to organise large amounts of information so that they are able to find it
at a later date.This doesn’t mean we are becoming either more or less
intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is
changing.

One girl said, “My biggest challenge is self-esteem.8.( ) .I feel ugly.” If you ever feel this way, you’re not pared to the models we see in movies and magazines, we all feel ugly.
9. ( ) .But if your self-confidence or lack of it comes from how you look, you’ve got serious problems.If you don’t have the “look” or body type our society has stamped “ideal”, so what?
The fact is there are lots of kids with big noses and unfashionable
clothes that are full of self-confidence.10.( ) .Obviously,
there’s so much more to healthy self-worth than beauty and biceps.
Embrace the way you look naturally.Even if you don’t find it
beautiful right now, there’s always someone who will.Seriously!
11. ( ) — and do not care so much about your appearance.Oprah Winfrey said it best:“You have to change your perception (看法).It’s not about weight — it’s caring for yourself on a daily basis.”
Author Susan Tanner, who was once an insecure teen with a bad
case of acne, never forgot the lesson her mother taught her.“You
must do everything you can to make your appearance pleasing, but
the minute you walk out the door, forget yourself and start
concentrating on others.” 12.( ) .
When all is said and done, learning to like yourself is a
choice.It may not seem that way, but it is.It’s a matter of learning
to get your security from within, not from without — or from what
others say about you.
A. Just be your personal best
B. This is good advice for all of us
C. There are too many beautiful people
D. The important thing is feeling good physically
E. It’s wrong to judge a person by his or her looks
F. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to look your best
G. And there’re many well-dressed kids who have no self-
confidence at all

Ⅳ.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章简要介绍了中国“四大名著”之一——《红楼梦》。
28.known 考查非谓语动词。这里表示“《红楼梦》以其他名称被人们所知”,因此用表达被动概念的过去分词。
29.greatest 考查形容词的最高级。本空前面的the以及本空后面的of all Chinese novels暗示这里应用形容词的最高级形式。
30.for 考查介词。have/feel/show sympathy for sb是固定搭配,表示“对某人产生同情”。
31.the 考查冠词。这里的events特指小说中提到的事件,因此用定冠词the来修饰。
32.that/which 考查定语从句。这里由关系代词that/which引导一个定语从句,that/which在从句中作主语。
33.so 考查连词。so ...that ...是固定句型,表示“如此……以至于……”。
34.was published 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。该小说是在过去被出版,因此用一般过去时的被动语态形式。
35.theories 考查名词复数。本空前面的Various一词暗示这里的名词应用复数形式。
36.studying 考查非谓语动词。devote ...to doing sth是固定句式,表示“致力于做某事”。
37.are 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。根据语境可知,这里在描述现存的客观事实,因此应用一般现在时。

团结起来力量大:互联网如何改变了我们
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。
英国伯明翰的一位英语教师简·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。
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。
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,为贫穷国家的儿童募捐。
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。”
