【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述随着网络的崛起,人们获取信息的渠道增多,沟通得以即时进行,日常交流更加顺畅。文章引用《新数字时代》中的内容,表明网络在给人们带来益处的同时,也存在一定风险。
1.D 推理判断题。根据第一段“The rise of the Internet has been one of the most influential developments in human history, comparable in effect to the invention of the printing press and the telegraph(电报).”可知,作者将互联网与印刷机和电报进行比较是为了强调互联网的巨大影响。故选D项。
2.C 细节理解题。根据第二段“‘Mass use of the Internet is driving one of the most exciting social, cultural, and political changes in history, and unlike earlier periods of change, this time the effects are fully global,’ Schmidt and Cohen write in their new book The New Digital Age.”可知,互联网的影响是遍及全世界的。故选C项。
3.B 细节理解题。根据第三段“But if the book has one major shortcoming, it’s that authors don’t spend enough time applying a critical eye to the role of Internet businesses in these sweeping changes.”可知,这本书的不足之处是作者没有花足够的时间以一种批判的眼光来看待互联网企业在这些重大变革中所扮演的角色。故选B项。
4.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段“By using this idea as a starting point, the authors aim to move beyond the now familiar optimist vs pessimist dichotomy(二分法)…they are also realistic about the risks and dangers that lie ahead when the next five billion people come online, particularly with respect to personal privacy and state monitoring.”(以这个观点为出发点,作者的目的是超越现在熟悉的乐观主义者和悲观主义者的二分法,这种二分法以最近许多关于互联网的兴起最终对社会是好是坏的争论为特征。在本周早些时候接受《时代》杂志采访时,科恩说,尽管他和他的合著者对互联网的许多方面都持乐观态度,但他们也对未来50亿人上网时的风险和危险持现实态度,特别是在个人隐私和国家监控方面。)可知,《新数字时代》的作者们对待网络持一种中立态度。故选D项。
B
【文章大意】 这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了澳大利亚最近通过的一项法律,该法律旨在防止16岁以下的青少年使用社交媒体。这项法律将在一年后生效,并从1月开始测试实施方法。文章对此介绍了各方的看法。
5.B 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The law doesn’t affect all social media. YouTube is not included because it’s often used in schools.”可知,YouTube不在新法律的影响范围内,因为它通常用于教育目的。故选B。
6.A 推理判断题。第三段中“Last Thursday, Australia’s government passed the Social Media Minimum Age Bill, 34 votes(选票) to 19. A recent survey shows that 77% of people in Australia are in favour of the law.”提到34 votes to 19以及最近的一项调查显示,77%的澳大利亚人支持这项法律。由此可知,作者通过提供具体的数字来展示大多数人对这项法律的支持。故选A。
7.A 推理判断题。第四段“However, some people believe the law will make it harder for young people to connect with others who can support them. Others worry that it will push young people towards less safe parts of the Internet. One of the biggest concerns is how the social media companies will find out how old their users are.”介绍了不同人对新法律的不同看法。一些人认为这将使年轻人更难与他人建立联系,还有一些人担心这会将年轻人推向互联网上不太安全的部分。这些观点表明这项法律引起了一些人的担忧。故选A。
8.C 推理判断题。最后一段“Social media companies argue that the government passed the new law without enough consideration and it should have considered how the law would work before passing it. With the next 12 months set aside for deciding on these details, the companies believe a more detailed planning process was necessary before the law’s being carried out.”提到社交媒体公司认为政府在没有充分考虑如何实施的情况下就通过了新法律,他们认为应该有一个更详细的规划过程,这表明他们认为政府的行为是仓促的。故选C。
Ⅴ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍李子柒回归社交媒体一事。她通过展示传统乡村生活的视频,弘扬中国文化,这些视频不仅具有娱乐性,还彰显出教育意义,助力她持续扩大在全球的影响力。

5.on 考查介词。名词effect通常和介词on搭配,表示“对……的影响”。故填on。
6.were 考查动词时态和主谓一致。句子为there be句型,结合a year ago可知,应用一般过去时;主语countless hours是复数,be动词应用were。故填were。
7.to appreciate 考查非谓语动词。固定短语inspire sb to do sth意为“激励某人做某事”,应用不定式作宾语补足语。故填to appreciate。

The evolution of the Internet
The Internet has transformed our world in just a few decades. Its journey began in the 1960s as a US government project called ARPANET, designed to share information between computers. At that time, only scientists and the military used this early network.
By the 1980s, the invention of TCP/IP—the “communication rules” linking devices—allowed different networks to connect, forming the true Internet. This era saw the birth of e-mail, letting people exchange messages globally.
The 1990s marked a turning point. British scientist Tim Berners-Lee created the World Wide Web, turning the Internet into a user-friendly space. Websites like Yahoo!and Amazon emerged, introducing online shopping and information searches.
In the 21st century, smartphones and social media revolutionized daily life. Platforms like Facebook (2004) and YouTube (2005) made sharing ideas and creativity effortless. By 2020, over 4.9 billion people used the Internet for work, education, and entertainment.
Today, technologies like AI and 5G are pushing boundaries. From virtual classrooms to smart homes, the Internet continues to reshape how we live. Yet challenges remain, such as online safety and digital divides. As we move forward, balancing innovation with responsibility will define the Internet’s next chapter.

The rise of the Internet has been one of the most influential developments in human history, comparable in effect to the invention of the printing press and the telegraph (电报). Over two billion people worldwide now have access to more information than ever before, and can communicate with each other whenever they want, often using Web-connected mobile phones they carry everywhere. But the Internet’s huge influence has only just begun.
“Mass use of the Internet is driving one of the most exciting social, cultural, and political changes in history, and unlike earlier periods of change, this time the effects are fully global,” Schmidt and Cohen write in their new book The New Digital Age.
Perhaps the most far-reaching changes will come when the five billion people worldwide who currently have no access to the Internet get online. The authors do an excellent job of examining the possible results of the Internet invention for individuals, governments, and institutions like the news media. But if the book has one major shortcoming, it’s that authors don’t spend enough time applying a critical eye to the role of Internet businesses in these sweeping changes.
At the centre of the book is the idea that “technology is impartial, but people aren’t”. By using this idea as a starting point, the authors aim to move beyond the now familiar optimist vs pessimist dichotomy (二分法) that has characterized many recent debates about whether the rise of the Internet will finally be good or bad for society. In an interview with Time earlier this week, Cohen said although he and his co-author are optimistic about many aspects of the Internet, they are also realistic about the risks and dangers that lie ahead when the next five billion people come online, particularly with respect to personal privacy and state monitoring.
( )1.Why does the author compare the Internet with the printing press and the telegraph
A.To present the development of technology.
B.To show the creativity of human beings.
C.To prove the efforts made by human beings.
D.To stress the great influence of the Internet.
( )2.What are the effects of the mass use of the Internet according to Paragraph 2
A.They are immeasurable.
B.They are uncontrollable.
C.They are worldwide.
D.They are disastrous.
( )3.What is the major weakness of the book
A.It doesn’t recognize the influence of the Internet businesses.
B.It fails to look at the role of Internet businesses fully and objectively.
C.It lacks all-round monitoring on the sweeping changes.
D.It doesn’t cover the risks and dangers that lie ahead.
( )4.What do we know about the authors of The New Digital Age
A.They leave many questions unanswered.
B.They are optimistic about the future of the Internet.
C.They are not aware of the risks and dangers of the Internet.
D.They don’t take sides in examining the effects of the Internet.

Australia has passed a law to prevent people younger than 16 from using social media. The law will go into effect in a year. Starting in January, Australia will test ways to carry out the law.
Under the new law, social media companies like Meta and TikTok must take steps to prevent anyone under 16 from using the apps. If the companies do not follow the law, they could be fined (罚款) up to US$32 million. The law doesn’t affect all social media. YouTube is not included because it’s often used in schools.
Last Thursday, Australia’s government passed the Social Media Minimum Age Bill,34 votes (选票) to 19. A recent survey shows that 77% of people in Australia are in favour of the law. People are worried that social media can hurt young people’s mental health. So they believe it makes great sense to welcome the changes.
However, some people believe the law will make it harder for young people to connect with others who can support them. Others worry that it will push young people towards less safe parts of the Internet. One of the biggest concerns is how the social media companies will find out how old their users are. The law says the companies must give people a way to prove their age without sending in a government ID, but it’s not clear how this might work. The demand that the companies collect even more information raises worries about the privacy of young people.
Social media companies argue that the government passed the new law without enough consideration and it should have considered how the law would work before passing it. With the next 12 months set aside for deciding on these details, the companies believe a more detailed planning process was necessary before the law’s being carried out.
( )5.Why is YouTube unaffected by the new law
A.It has already carried out strict age limits.
B.It is commonly used for educational purposes.
C.It is owned by a company based outside Australia.
D.It has a strong privacy policy protecting young users.
( )6.How does the author show most people in Australia support the law
A.By providing numbers.
B.By giving examples.
C.By quoting authorities.
D.By describing people’s stories.
( )7.What can we learn from Paragraph 4
A.The law has caused worries among some people.
B.Steps have been taken to remove people’s concerns.
C.Young people’s mental health will be improved greatly.
D.The government has spent too much time passing the law.
( )8.What do social media companies think of the government’s behaviour
A.Worthwhile. B.Thoughtful.
C.Rushed. D.Unnecessary.

B［2025·河北张家口高一期末］
Australia has passed a law to prevent people younger than
16 from using social media. The law will go into effect in a
year. Starting in January, Australia will test ways to carry out the
law.
Under the new law, social media companies like Meta and
TikTok must take steps to prevent anyone under 16 from using
the apps. If the companies do not follow the law, they could be
fined (罚款) up to US$32 million. The law doesn't affect all

social media. YouTube is not included because it's often used in
schools.
Last Thursday, Australia's government passed the Social
Media Minimum Age Bill,34 votes (选票) to 19. A recent survey
shows that 77% of people in Australia are in favour of the law.
People are worried that social media can hurt young people's
mental health. So they believe it makes great sense to welcome
the changes.

However, some people believe the law will make it harder
for young people to connect with others who can support them.
Others worry that it will push young people towards less safe
parts of the Internet. One of the biggest concerns is how the
social media companies will find out how old their users are.
The law says the companies must give people a way to prove
their age without sending in a government ID, but it's not clear
how this might work. The demand that the companies collect
even more information raises worries about the privacy of
young people.

Social media companies argue that the government passed
the new law without enough consideration and it should have
considered how the law would work before passing it. With the
next 12 months set aside for deciding on these details, the
companies believe a more detailed planning process was
necessary before the law's being carried out.
