主题语境:人与社会——人际沟通
【原文呈现】
How Closely Connected Are We
[1]Research shows the average person only has regular communication with between seven and fifteen people,and that most of our communication is in fact with five to ten people who are closest to us. However,perhaps we are closer to the rest of the world than we think.“Six Degrees of Separation”refers to the theory[2]that any person on Earth can be connected to① any other person through a chain② of no more than five other people.
【词汇积累】
①be connected to...和……连接/有联系
②chain/t e n/n.一连串,一系列;链子,链条
a chain of一系列,一连串(人或事)

[1]本句中shows后跟两个宾语从句,第二个宾语从句的引导词that不可省略;who引导定语从句,修饰先行词people。
[2]此处为that引导的同位语从句,进一步解释说明前面的名词theory,that本身并无实际含义。
The concept was first talked about as long ago as the 1920s.The Hungarian author Frigyes Karinthy published a book called Everything Is Different in 1929,in which he introduced the idea of friendship networks③ and his ideas influenced many of our early impressions④ of social networks.
③network/'netw k/n.人际关系网,联络网;网络,网状系统
a communication network通信网
④impression/ m pre n/n.印象,感想

impressive adj.给人深刻印象的
In the 1950s,an attempt⑤ was made by two scientists to prove the theory mathematically;but after twenty years,they still had not had any success.[3]In 1967,an American sociologist⑥ called Stanley Milgram tried using a new method to test the theory,which he called the“small-world problem”. He chose a random⑦ sample of people in the middle of America and asked them to send packages to a stranger in the state of Massachusetts.The people sending the packages only knew the name,job and general location of the stranger.[4]Milgram told them to send the package to a person they knew personally who they thought might know the target⑧ stranger.Once the parcel⑨ had been
received by this person,he/she would send the parcel onto a contact of theirs until the parcel could be personally delivered⑩ to the correct person.Amazingly,it only took between five and seven people to get the parcels delivered,and once released ,the results were published in the bimonthly magazine Psychology Today.[5]It was this research that inspired the phrase“Six Degrees of Separation”.
⑤attempt n.&vt.企图;试图;尝试

[3]本句中called Stanley Milgram为过去分词短语作后置定语,修饰sociologist;which引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词method。
[4]本句中a person后跟两个定语从句,第一个从句“they knew personally”省略了引导词,第二个从句由who引导。
[5]本句为强调句型,强调主语this research,意为“正是这项研究”。
In the last few decades,the theory and the phrase have appeared again.Its name was used as the title of a play and then a film.Then,more films and TV programmes based on the concept were made and broadcast .For example,the Oscar-winning film Babel is based on the concept of“Six Degrees of Separation”.The lives of all the characters were closely connected,although they did not know each other and lived thousands of miles apart.The television series Lost also explored the idea of “Six Degrees of Separation”,
as almost all the characters had randomly met each other,or had met someone the other characters knew,before they were all in the same plane crash.In the mid-1990s,two college students in the United States invented a game.The idea of the game was to link any actor to Kevin Bacon,a famous American actor and musician,through no more than six links.Soon the game was being played in universities across the United States.

In 2001,Columbia University tried to recreate Milgram's experiment on the Internet.This became known as the“Columbia Small-world Project”.The experiment involved 24,163 email chains [6]with 18 target people in 13 different countries.The results confirmed that the average number of links in the chain was six.
become known as作为……而知名
[6]此处为with复合结构,在句中作后置定语,修饰chains。
Most recently,an experiment in 2011 at the University of Milan analysed the relationship between 721 million social media users and found that 92 percent were connected by only four stages,or five degrees of separation.
So,think about it for a minute:How might you be connected to the driver of the bus you regularly take or the person who delivers your parcels?
analyse vt.分析
【参考译文】
我们之间的联系有多紧密?
研究表明,普通人只与7到15个人经常保持联系,而且我们的大多数交流实际上只发生在5到10个与我们最亲近的人身上。不过,也许我们与世界上其他人的联系比我们想象中的更紧密。“六度分隔”理论说的是地球上任何人都可以通过不超过另外五个人的联结与一个陌生人联系起来。
这个概念早在20世纪20年代就被首次提出。匈牙利作家弗里吉斯·考林蒂在1929年出版了一本名为《一切皆不同》的书,在这本书中他介绍了朋友关系网的概念,我们早期许多关于社交网络的构想都受到他思想的影响。
20世纪50年代,两位科学家试图用数学方法证明该理论;但20年过去了,他们仍未成功。在1967年,一位名叫斯坦利·米尔格兰姆的美国社会学家尝试用一种新的方法来验证这一理论,该方法被他称为“小世界问题”。他在美国中部随机选取了一部分人作为样本,让他们给马萨诸塞州的一个陌生人寄包裹。这些寄送包裹的人只知道这个陌生人的姓名、工作和大致的位置。米尔格兰姆让他们把包裹寄给他们认为有可能认识目标收件人的熟人。一旦此人收到包裹,他或她就会将包裹再发给认识的人,直到该包裹被送到目标收件人手中。令人惊讶的是,这些包裹只需通过5到7个人就能送到正确的人手中。结果一经公布,便被发表在双月刊《今日心理学》上。正是这项研究启发了“六度分隔”这一说法。
在过去的几十年里,这一理论和说法又再次出现。它的名称被用作戏剧和电影标题。随后,更多基于这一概念的电影和电视节目相继拍摄、播出。例如,奥斯卡获奖影片《通天塔》就以“六度分隔”这一概念为基础。尽管影片中他们彼此陌生、相隔千里,但所有人的生活却是紧密联系的。电视连续剧《迷失》也探讨了“六度分隔”理论,剧中失事飞机上的几乎所有人此前都曾偶遇过,或曾遇见其他人认识的人。20世纪90年代中期,美国的两名大学生发明了一款游戏。这款游戏的玩法是用不超过六个联结将任意一个演员与美国著名的演员、音乐家凯文·贝肯联系起来。这款游戏很快在美国的大学里流行起来。
2001年,哥伦比亚大学试图在互联网上重现米尔格兰姆的实验。这项实验被称为“哥伦比亚小世界项目”。它包括来自13个不同国家的18个目标人物的24 163个电子邮件链接。实验结果证实,联络串上的联结平均数量是6。
最近,米兰大学2011年的一项实验分析了7.21亿社交媒体用户之间的关系,发现92%的用户只需通过四个阶段或者说五度分隔就可建立联系。
所以,思考一下这个问题:你与经常乘坐的公交车的司机或给你送包裹的人可能存在怎样的联系呢?

过去时中的被动语态
[归纳填空]
上述各句中的加黑的谓语动词均为过去时态的被动语态。其中句①②④为__________的被动语态;句③为__________的被动语态;句⑤为__________的被动语态。
一般过去时
过去完成时
过去进行时
一、一般过去时的被动语态
一般过去时的被动语态表示过去某一时间的被动动作或过去经常性、习惯性的被动动作,其基本结构为was/were+过去分词。
The school debate competition was hosted by the Student Union last Friday,attracting over 200 participants.
上周五校辩论赛由学生会主办,吸引了200多名参赛者。
Many trees and flowers were planted in our school last year.
去年我们学校种了许多树和花。
二、过去进行时的被动语态
过去进行时的被动语态表示过去某个时刻正在进行或者发生的被动动作,其基本结构为was/were being+过去分词。
When I arrived at the charity event,the old books were still being sorted by volunteers into different categories.
当我到达慈善活动现场时,志愿者们仍在将旧书分类整理。
Was a new library being built in their school just then
他们学校当时正在建一座新的图书馆吗?
三、过去完成时的被动语态
过去完成时的被动语态表示过去某个时间以前已经完成的被动动作,常与by,before等引导的时间状语连用,其基本结构为had been+过去分词。
The classroom hadn't been cleaned before the teacher came.
老师来之前教室尚未被打扫。
By the time they reached the campsite,all the tents had been set up by the advance team,which saved them hours of work.
当他们到达营地时,所有帐篷已被先遣队搭建完毕,这为他们节省了数小时工作。
[即时演练1] 单句语法填空
①The stone under her feet rolled,and as she ______________ (pull) into the river,she called out for help.
②The manager found that his office ______________ (break) into the day before.
③When I got to his house,I found that the walls ________________ (paint) by some workers.
④The old letter ____________ (discover) finally in a dusty drawer,revealing the long-hidden truth about her family.
was being pulled
had been broken
were being painted
was discovered
四、使用过去时中的被动语态时应注意的问题
1.“be+过去分词”并非都是被动语态,系动词 be,feel,seem,look等词后面的过去分词已转化为形容词,在句中作表语,构成系表结构,表示某种状态。
He seemed unsatisfied with his work so he sought help from the boss.
他似乎对自己的工作不满意,因此他向老板求助。
2.“was/were+in/on/under等+名词”结构与过去进行时的被动语态表示相同的含义。
His drawings were on exhibition at the gallery this time last year.
去年这个时候,他的画作正在画廊展出。
The bridge was under construction when the storm hit.
暴风雨来临时,这座桥正在修建中。
3.主动句中使用带复合宾语的动词作谓语时,变为被动语态应将宾语变为被动句的主语,而将宾语补足语保留不动(这时的宾语补足语变为主语补足语)。在主动语态中,make,hear,see等词后接动词不定式要省略to,但转换为被动语态时,要还原to。
His words made me throw up.
→I was made to throw up by his words.
他的话令我作呕。
4.某些情况用主动语态来表示被动意义。read,write,act,iron,burn,cut,draw,drive,sell,wash,clean,wear,open,cook,lock,shut,dry,eat,drink等动词用来说明主语的性质特征而不强调被执行者的动作时,应用主动语态表示被动意义,且常与well,easily,badly,nicely等副词连用。
Bikes of that kind sold well last year.
去年那种自行车卖得好。

(2025·安徽合肥质检)Among world languages,English places perhaps the highest value on the expressions of thanks,especially in formal and business settings.So it's logical that English speakers tend to conflate the expression of thankfulness with the feeling of thankfulness.If somebody didn't say “thanks”,we often think,they must not have been very grateful.And yet,in English,“thank you”gets used so frequently that it can easily start to feel habitual.
But do we say it as much as we think in our casual interactions with family and friends A new research paper titled Universals and Cultural Diversity in the Expression of Thankfulness suggests that no,we do not.
The research team behind the paper looked for expressions of thankfulness in daily informal interactions across eight languages:English,Italian,Polish,Russian,Lao,Cha'palaa,Murrinhpatha,and Siwu.The findings suggest the universal way in which thankfulness is expressed is not through giving thanks,but rather through participation in a social agreement in which mutual (相互的) assistance and working together are the norm.In fact,the practice of giving thanks seems to have little impact on the practice of mutual exchange.
The practice of giving thanks also varies culturally.In India,for example,people — especially when they are your elders,relatives,or close friends — tend to feel that by thanking them,you're weakening your closeness with them and creating formality and distance that shouldn't exist! In contrast,in England,expressing thankfulness through words is seen as a positive strengthening of relationships,promoting goodwill and connection.
Nick Enfield,lead researcher of the study,suggests that most of the 6,000 to 7,000 world languages don't have a word for“thank you”.“When we consider the negative effects of thanking close relations alongside the fact that many languages are spoken in very small communities where speakers are likely to know each other,that claim starts to feel quite reasonable.”
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。研究发现不同文化表达感激的方式有差异,很多语言甚至无“谢谢”一词,且普遍表达靠互助合作。
4.What does the underlined word“conflate”in paragraph 1 mean
A.Compare. B.Replace.
C.Figure out. D.Mix up.
解析 D 词义猜测题。根据第一段第二句以及下文“If somebody didn't say ‘thanks’,we often think,they must not have been very grateful.”可知,说英语的人常把说“谢谢”这种表达感激的方式和内心真正的感激之情弄混了。conflate意为“混淆,混为一谈”,与Mix up(混淆)语义相近。故选D。
5.How do people express thankfulness universally according to the study
A.By saying thanks directly.
B.By making social agreements.
C.By using body language.
D.By helping and cooperating.
解析 D 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“The findings suggest the universal way...and working together are the norm.”可知,普遍表达感激的方式是通过相互帮助和合作。故选D。
6.How do Indians view the practice of giving thanks to relatives
A.It weakens their bond.
B.It reduces their social distance.
C.It enhances their connection.
D.It promotes their mutual trust.
解析 A 细节理解题。根据第四段第二句“In India...and distance that shouldn't exist!”可知,印度人认为向长辈、亲戚或亲密朋友表达感谢会削弱他们之间的联系。故选A。
7.What does Nick Enfield imply in the last paragraph
A.Many cultures do not emphasize thankfulness.
B.Thankfulness might not be expressed in words.
C.Small communities prefer to thank close friends.
D.The negative effects of thanking should be avoided.
解析 B 推理判断题。根据最后一段“most of the 6,000 to 7,000 world languages don't have a word for ‘thank you’”可知,Nick Enfield认为,很多语言中没有“谢谢”这个词,结合上文提到不同文化中表达感谢的方式不同,可推断,感激之情可能不是通过语言来表达的。故选B。
