依据文章结构判断作者观点
在高考阅读中，利用文章或段落的结构来解题至关重要。文章的基本结构或段落的语篇结构通常是“主题句(总)＋支持性细节句 (分)(分述主题的具体内容/说明原因/举例证明等)”。主题句是指陈述文章或段落的大意或主要观点的句子。支持性细节句提供关于该主题的更多信息。如第6题，通过扫读两篇文章的首段可确定是主题句，下面各段均是支持性细节句。依据文章结构可判断作者的观点。
(二)阅读表达
1．Look at the sentence from Paragraph 2 in the first blog post，“It is these skills that enable us to develop lifelong friendships.” What do “these skills” refer to
2．In the second blog post，what does Eileen Kennedy Moore mean when she says that online friends “fill holes real life friends can't”？ Give your reasons.
3．Does the Internet help or harm friendships Voice your opinion.
|阅|读|技|能|提|升| 运用“五看法”查找中心论点
本课的两篇文章是博客文章，属于观点类议论文。此类文体的一种常见结构是“总论－分论－总论”式，即先提出论点，而后从几个方面阐述，最后总结归纳。阅读此类文章的重点在于查找中心论点，一般采用五看法：一看标题，二看开头、结尾，三看中间，四看论据(看论据用来证明什么观点)，五看分论点(将几个分论点合并、提炼、分析并归纳)。如本文从两个分标题可初步判定论点与网络和友谊有关。然后再结合第二、三、四段阐述的分论点可知，文章讨论了网络是对友谊有益还是对友谊有害两种不同的观点。
(一)赏用词之妙
1．While the Internet can bring people closer together, it can also harm friendships.
赏析：本句中使用while一词，突出说明了虽然互联网可以让人们的关系更加亲近，但它对友谊也有危害。
2．Because of this, going online can be particularly dangerous for people who are easily influenced or too trusting.
赏析：本句中连续使用三个副词particularly、easily和too，形象地说明了上网的危害性及其危害的对象。
[提能训练] (完成句子)
①____________________________ (虽然我承认他的优点), I can see his shortcomings.
②If the rice isn't __________________， it will taste ________________.
如果米饭没煮好，味道就会很糟。
(二)赏句式之高
1．...communicating through a screen makes it more difficult for children to concentrate or show kindness to others.
赏析：本句中communicating ...是v. ing短语作主语；在make it＋adj.＋for sb.＋to do sth.结构中，it是形式宾语，真正的宾语是不定式to concentrate or show kindness to others。在本句中作者明确地表达了网上聊天不能代替面对面交流的原因。
2. For example, instead of having proper conversations with their friends, some people are only concerned with their online popularity — How many “likes” did I get How many followers do I have？— though we know that the number of “likes” or followers cannot compare to having long term and rewarding friendships.
赏析：这是一个主从复合句。本句主干是 some people are only concerned with their online popularity，破折号之间的两个疑问句是对前面内容的解释和说明。though引导让步状语从句，其中含有一个that引导的宾语从句。此处作者用举例子的写作手法进一步说明了互联网对友谊的弊端，它使人们以自我为中心，不去想除自己之外的任何人或任何事。
3．Friendships are built on the basis of trust, and with online communication you can never be 100 percent sure that the people you are chatting to are being honest about who they are.
赏析：本句中and连接并列句；第二个分句中that引导宾语从句；you are chatting to是定语从句，修饰先行词the people；who they are是宾语从句，作介词about的宾语。作者运用以上高级句式清晰地表达了自己的观点：网络存在不真实性，对交朋友的人有一定风险。
[提能训练] (同义句转换/完成句子)
①He's going to buy the farm even though they raise the price. (although)
→______________________________， he's going to buy the farm.
②________________ has made a big difference to my health.
运动对我的健康产生了很大的影响。
③Moreover, the Internet ________________ for friends and family ____________________ even if they are on opposite sides of the world.此外，互联网使朋友和家人很容易保持联系，即使他们在世界的两端。
(三)赏衔接之顺
①Firstly ... Secondly ... Thirdly ... In my opinion, friends should focus more on face to face communication, and less on online communication.This is the best way to maintain healthy relationships.
②Firstly ... Secondly ... Thirdly ... Finally, I believe the Internet brings people closer together and makes communication with friends more convenient and interesting.
赏析：这两篇博客都运用了上述衔接词，介绍了互联网对友谊的利与弊，层次分明，条理清晰，符合议论文的特点。
[提能训练] (用适当的衔接词完成语段)
① 首先 ， you should build up your self confidence. Only when you are confident will you overcome the fear of your look. ② 其次 ， you should keep it in mind that one's beauty lies in his spirit other than appearance outside. What really matters is having a positive value. ③ 最后值得一提的是 ， you'd better make the most of your gifts so as to improve and make up for your weaknesses， which as a result will promote your self confidence.
(四)赏修辞之功
As Eileen Kennedy Moore, an authority on the subject, points out, online friends “fill holes real life friends can't”．
赏析：本句使用了引用的修辞手法，证明了作者的观点：在线交流实际上可以让人们更亲近。这种修辞手法的运用增强了论证的说服力和权威性。
[提能训练] (完成句子并体会修辞手法的运用)
，“Anyone who has never failed has never tried anything new.”
正如阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦曾经说过的，“任何从未失败过的人都从未尝试过任何新事物。”
课文缩写七选五根据课文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Friends are very important to us. Sometimes we just want to develop some new friendships. Here are some of the best apps for you to make new friends.
Atleto
Research shows that exercising with a friend promotes more motivation and healthier lifestyle habits. Atleto is an app that builds on this “exercise contagion (传染)” phenomenon by bringing together athletic people to take exercise and organize group activities. You can choose from over 40 sports and find your community of people who like to be in a sweat.
Friender
Studies show that we're eager to find people similar to us. Suppose you're sick of boring surface-level conversations. Then，Friender solves that problem quickly with an algorithm (算法) that only matches you based on your favorite activities and interests. This friend-finding app makes it easy to get into conversations that you care about. If you don't have many hobbies to type into an app, one of the easiest ways to start is to try out new hobbies.
PawDate
Dogs are great companions, but sometimes it's nice to talk to humans, too. This app connects pet owners to meet up at dog parks or walk with their pups. You get to set up doggie play dates and find new friends at the same time! It's a win-win.
Skout
Skout started back in 2007 to help people make new friends. The rematches are based on directly by checking into a location and seeing who else on the app is there.
语篇解读：本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了一些交朋友的应用程序。
1．Who is Atleto intended for
A．Those who like to walk their dogs.
B．Those who want to play sports together.
C．Those who want to develop new hobbies.
D．Those who like to do community service.
√
解析：细节理解题。根据Atleto部分中的“Atleto is an app that builds on this ‘exercise contagion’ phenomenon by bringing together athletic people to take exercise and organize group activities.”可知，Atleto是针对那些想要一起运动的人。
2．What can people do by using Friender
A．Solve conversation problems.
B．Share their favorite activities.
C．Make new friends while traveling.
D．Have conversations with like-minded people.
√
解析：细节理解题。根据Friender部分中的“This friend-finding app makes it easy to get into conversations that you care about.”可知，使用Friender可以和志同道合的人交谈。
3．Which app can help the user find new friends quickly at a new place
A．Atleto. B．Friender.
C．PawDate. D．Skout.
解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“The rematches are based on directly by checking into a location and seeing who else on the app is there.”可知，Skout这个应用程序可以帮助用户在新地方快速找到新朋友。

B
“There are more people actively learning a language through DuoLingo than in the entire US public school system，” says Luis von Ahn, founder of the free language learning app. Since its launch (投放市场) in 2012, more than 30 million people have downloaded the app, which gamified education and attracted many language learners.
The growth of technology for educational use has changed the way in which people learn and receive education. This is particularly true for languages, an area in which the explosion of mobile apps and interactive software has provided choices for a range of people who were previously unable to receive foreign language education.
Von Ahn says that when he founded DuoLingo he decided to find a way for people to learn a language for free. Free use of languages was something he had a personal interest in addressing: he grew up in Guatemala, where he was surrounded by people all trying to learn English, half of whom were failing to do so and a lot of whom could not afford it.
One of the big changes caused by tech is the change in language learners. Languages have long been connected with the rich people, but now people from less rich backgrounds are finding affordable ways to learn.
Von Ahn says an unexpected result of DuoLingo being an app is that it's attracting an unlikely type of user. DuoLingo was designed (设计) to be like a game, and what the company has found is that many users aren't even necessarily diehard (守旧的) language fans, they're just looking for an educational way to kill some time.
“They're still procrastinating from something else, but at least it's somewhat useful，”says Von Ahn. “The truth of the matter is that learning a language takes months or years. We have to find a way to keep them interested and that's where the gamification came in.”
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了DuoLingo软件带给语言市场的变化。
4．What can we say about DuoLingo after its launch
A．It is used by entire US schools.
B．It costs 30 dollars to download.
C．It changes the use of languages.
D．It makes education more enjoyable.
√
解析：推理判断题。根据第一段“There are more people actively learning a language through DuoLingo ... which gamified education and attracted many language learners.”可知，自从DuoLingo这款软件推出以来，它通过将教育游戏化，吸引了许多语言学习者。
5．Why does the author mention Von Ahn in Paragraph 3
A．To show his poverty in childhood.
B．To explain why he founded the app.
C．To prove he was interested in the app.
D．To find out how he designed the app.
√
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中“Von Ahn says that when he founded DuoLingo he decided to find a way for people to learn a language for free”可推知，作者在第三段提到了Von Ahn是为了解释他开发这个软件的原因。
6．What change does DuoLingo bring to language learners
A．They can master a language faster.
B．They become language fans totally.
C．They can learn in a low-cost way.
D．They can now use it to kill some time.
√
解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中“Languages have long been connected with the rich people, but now people from less rich backgrounds are finding affordable ways to learn.”可知，DuoLingo可以使学习者以低成本的方式学习。
7．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．Reasons for Learning a Language
B．How to Learn a Language Online
C．The Development of a Language App
D．Mastering a Language with DuoLingo
√
解析：标题归纳题。根据文章第一句及全文可知，本文主要讲述了路易斯·冯·安创造了DuoLingo 来帮助人们学习英语。故D项“用DuoLingo 掌握一门语言”适合作本文的标题。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Were We Happier Without Social Media
Social media is now fully implanted in our daily lives. We spend an average of two hours a day sharing, liking, and updating information on social media. Indeed, the wonderful digital platforms enrich our lives with information and entertainment. 8
Social media and stress
9 In fact, it might turn out an endless stream of stress. In 2015，researchers tried to discover if social media causes more stress than it relieves. In the survey, women were reported being more stressed than men. Social media was found to be “a contributor to stress”， because it increased people's awareness of pressure.
Social media and relationship
Finding people sharing your ideals online might be delightful. 10 It could happen, but, in reality, it's your family, friends and teachers that bring you the true delight. But the time you spend on people on social media is more than those you see in real life. On the platforms, the liquid relationships without real details don't really translate into true connections in your real life.
Social media and entertainment
Social media may provide us with excitement, during which dopamine (多巴胺) would be released to keep us entertained. Entertainment has never been so easy with dopamine released so quickly, getting us addicted. For that excitement, we mortgage (抵押) a more meaningful and enjoyable life. 11
Therefore, the answer to the question should be clear now. The feeling of being loved and being able to count on different people makes us happier. Social media sometimes just cheats us. 12 For the real happiness, we should maintain contact, talk face-to-face, listen to each other.
A．Thanks to it, we become happier.
B．People use social media to let off pressure.
C．In return, it traps and takes away our attention.
D．However, were we happier without social media
E．Moreover, we should say goodbye to social media.
F．Don't take it for granted that it gives us constant joy.
G．Can they really end up accompanying you in your real life
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章通过三个方面举例说明社交媒体对生活造成的不良影响，从而建议人们远离虚拟的社交媒体，回归现实生活。
8．解析：选D 根据上文可知，社交媒体已经完全渗透到我们的日常生活中。本题出现在首段段末，需要根据上文内容引出话题。由此可知，D项(然而，没有社交媒体我们会更快乐吗？)承上启下，符合语境。
9．解析：选B 根据小标题“Social media and stress”以及下文可知，本段讨论社交媒体与压力的关系。由此可知，B项(人们使用社交媒体来释放压力)衔接下文，符合语境，其中“pressure”与前后文中的“stress”形成对应关系。
10．解析：选G 根据上下文可知，网友的陪伴和分享或许会给你带来快乐，但是真正长久的快乐是现实生活中家人、朋友和老师才能带给你的。由此可知，G项(他们真的能在现实生活中陪伴你吗？)承上启下，符合语境，其中“they”指代上文中提到的陪伴你的网友。
11．解析：选C 根据上文可知，社交媒体刺激体内释放多巴胺让大脑获得快乐，我们把自己的时间与生活抵押给多巴胺。由此可知，C项(相反，它困住我们，并夺走了我们的注意力)承接上文，符合语境。
12．解析：选F 根据上下文可知，我们感知快乐的方式有多种，但是社交媒体有时候具有欺骗性，现实联系才是能够给我们带来真正快乐的方式。由此可知，F项(不要想当然地认为它能给我们源源不断的快乐)承上启下，符合语境。UNIT 4 课时检测(六) “Internet and Friendships”的课文习读环节

You can choose from over 40 sports and find your community of people who like to be in a sweat.
Friender
Studies show that we're eager to find people similar to us. Suppose you're sick of boring surface level conversations. Then，Friender solves that problem quickly with an algorithm (算法) that only matches you based on your favorite activities and interests. This friend finding app makes it easy to get into conversations that you care about. If you don't have many hobbies to type into an app, one of the easiest ways to start is to try out new hobbies.
PawDate
Dogs are great companions, but sometimes it's nice to talk to humans, too. This app connects pet owners to meet up at dog parks or walk with their pups. You get to set up doggie play dates and find new friends at the same time! It's a win win.
Skout
Skout started back in 2007 to help people make new friends. The rematches are based on directly by checking into a location and seeing who else on the app is there.

“There are more people actively learning a language through DuoLingo than in the entire US public school system，” says Luis von Ahn, founder of the free language learning app. Since its launch (投放市场) in 2012, more than 30 million people have downloaded the app, which gamified education and attracted many language learners.
The growth of technology for educational use has changed the way in which people learn and receive education. This is particularly true for languages, an area in which the explosion of mobile apps and interactive software has provided choices for a range of people who were previously unable to receive foreign language education.
Von Ahn says that when he founded DuoLingo he decided to find a way for people to learn a language for free. Free use of languages was something he had a personal interest in addressing: he grew up in Guatemala, where he was surrounded by people all trying to learn English, half of whom were failing to do so and a lot of whom could not afford it.
One of the big changes caused by tech is the change in language learners. Languages have long been connected with the rich people, but now people from less rich backgrounds are finding affordable ways to learn.
Von Ahn says an unexpected result of DuoLingo being an app is that it's attracting an unlikely type of user. DuoLingo was designed (设计) to be like a game, and what the company has found is that many users aren't even necessarily diehard (守旧的) language fans, they're just looking for an educational way to kill some time.
“They're still procrastinating from something else, but at least it's somewhat useful，”says Von Ahn. “The truth of the matter is that learning a language takes months or years. We have to find a way to keep them interested and that's where the gamification came in.”
4．What can we say about DuoLingo after its launch
A．It is used by entire US schools.
B．It costs 30 dollars to download.
C．It changes the use of languages.
D．It makes education more enjoyable.
5．Why does the author mention Von Ahn in Paragraph 3
A．To show his poverty in childhood.
B．To explain why he founded the app.
C．To prove he was interested in the app.
D．To find out how he designed the app.
6．What change does DuoLingo bring to language learners
A．They can master a language faster.
B．They become language fans totally.
C．They can learn in a low cost way.
D．They can now use it to kill some time.
7．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．Reasons for Learning a Language
B．How to Learn a Language Online
C．The Development of a Language App
D．Mastering a Language with DuoLingo

Were We Happier Without Social Media
Social media is now fully implanted in our daily lives. We spend an average of two hours a day sharing, liking, and updating information on social media. Indeed, the wonderful digital platforms enrich our lives with information and entertainment. __8__
Social media and stress
__9__In fact, it might turn out an endless stream of stress. In 2015，researchers tried to discover if social media causes more stress than it relieves. In the survey, women were reported being more stressed than men. Social media was found to be “a contributor to stress”， because it increased people's awareness of pressure.
Social media and relationship
Finding people sharing your ideals online might be delightful. __10__ It could happen, but, in reality, it's your family, friends and teachers that bring you the true delight.

On the platforms, the liquid relationships without real details don't really translate into true connections in your real life.
