二、阅读理解
A
Facebook was running my life. But what killed Facebook for me was when I posted a photo, and five minutes later my son asked me how many “likes” it had got. His question was a wake-up call.
“Likes” are signs of acceptance and approval(赞同). I had forgotten that acceptance and approval need to come from within and had unknowingly set him a bad example.
Before absorbed in Facebook, I spent a lot more time reading books and magazines. I checked in with friends through texts, emails and phone calls.
To set a healthier example to my son, I deactivated my Facebook account.
I’d been in the habit of checking Facebook many times a day, so I had to come up with some new habits. I carried a novel and a crossword puzzle book around with me. I rediscovered knitting. I started taking yoga classes.
I started to remember a few things. My body is fine just the way it is. I have friends who will help me out when I’m in trouble, and I will help them out. I do my best to be a good mother, and our son is happy and healthy. We are very lucky to be able to afford two vacations a year.
I stopped looking at the world through my cellphone. I felt completely present in the moment. The break left me feeling better about myself, my family, my home and my life.
After a few weeks, I returned to Facebook. Now I look at the photos of my friends’ kids growing up and treasure how social media allows me to keep in touch with family. I no longer have the desire to post updates often.
It is not an addiction(上瘾) any more.
1.What made the author begin to realize she should do something to control her time on Facebook?
A.Her poor health. B.Her son’s question.
C.Her not receiving “likes”. D.Her mother’s phone call.
2.The underlined word “deactivate” in Paragraph 4 probably means ________.
A.to close B.to update C.to keep D.to check
3.What did the author do to change her life?
A.She traveled around a lot for a year.
B.She developed some healthy habits.
C.She tried to make money for her holidays.
D.She went to the gym as often as she could.
4.What did the author think of her break from Facebook?
A.It was good for her eyes.
B.It stopped her getting news.
C.It distanced her from her friends.
D.It gave her time to find beauty in life.
5.What is the author’s attitude toward social media?
A.She supports them completely.
B.She is strongly against them.
C.She thinks they are useful but shouldn’t be overused.
D.She thinks they are not harmful at all.

With the ever-increasing popularity of online shopping, users’ reviews are becoming more and more important. Given that you can't actually touch, see, smell or hear the product you’re buying online,these reviews will provide you with valuable information on the product itself. But how far can you trust them?
Barnaby Bicken had an unpleasant experience.“I took some friends to a restaurant in Manchester that had excellent reviews on a food website.However,the service was awful and we were ignored most of the time.Later,I wrote a review on the same site only to be told that the review site owner would not accept any bad reviews—only the good ones.”
So,how can you get a useful review? Web expert Hilary Saunders has a few top tips.“If there are only a few reviews of a place,there is a good chance they have been planted by friends or enemies.If there are many reviews,start by dropping the most extreme comments.Also,watch out for similarities in style between reviews from people with different user names,particularly if those reviews were placed about the same time.The best thing is to look for reviewers who show some relevant knowledge of the product they are reviewing.”
Some companies seem to be contributing to the problem.A publishing house offered gift vouchers(购物礼券) to anyone who would give their textbook a five-star review.But not all online companies operate like this.“Amazon works hard to keep the completeness of its customer reviews,” said a spokesperson for the company.“We have very clear guidelines,and when a customer reports a review that he feels is inappropriate,we check,and may take it down.”
So,next time you see that five-star review for something you want to buy,be aware—it could be the work of a false reviewer!
6.What does “them” in Para.1 refer to?
A.Products. B.Users. C.Reviews. D.Buyers.
7.What does Barnaby Bicken’s story imply?
A.The food served was awful.
B.Not all reviews are believable.
C.Many people are easily cheated.
D.He likes to write bad reviews.
8.What reviews of products are useful?
A.Those by competitors.
B.Those by different users.
C.Those with good comments.
D.Those with related information.
9.How does Amazon deal with the customer reviews?
A.It helps to finish the reviews.
B.It pays attention to the bad reviews.
C.It offers gifts for the good reviews.
D.It tries to make the reviews objective.

三、完形填空
1.答案C,解析本空后的promote and aid communication是社交网络的“目的(purpose)”——促进和帮助沟通。
2.答案B,解析根据上句中的promote and aid communication和本句中的doing more harm than good可知, 这两句之间为转折关系,故However符合此处语境。
3.答案A,解析根据常识可知,人们“通常(normally)”在社交网络上发布自己和朋友的照片。
4.答案C,解析根据下文内容,尤其是controversial,showing themselves drinking,smoking,and partying可以看出,青少年使用社交网络的方式不对,可能会“引起危险(dangerous)”。
5.答案C,解析根据下文中的the results they want可知,青少年往往“想(want)”给同龄人留下好的印象。
6.答案B,解析根据本段开头的post pictures可知,青少年通过“发布(post)”有意思的照片吸引关注。

9.答案D,解析上文中的impress their peers提示了本题答案。
10.答案B,解析根据下文中的bullying可知,在网上“攻击(attack)”他人更容易。另外,下文中的the attack也提示了本题答案。
11.答案A,解析根据常识及本空后的even severer可知,当面欺凌就已经“很难(difficult)”应付了,应对网络欺凌更难。
12.答案D,解析根据本段中的bullying及attack可知,这里指攻击他人、“让人痛苦的(cruel)”评论。
13.答案A,解析根据下句中的harder...to find the attacker可知,由于在网上没人“目睹(witness)”这些攻击,所以更难找到攻击者。
14.答案B,解析根据上句中的the attack可知,这里指网络欺凌的“受害者(victim)”。
15.答案A,解析随着社交网络技术的频繁使用,越来越少的人“当面(in person)”沟通。
16.答案A,解析根据本空后的due to the lack of personal communication可知,由于缺乏人际交流,很多人变得“更加孤独(lonelier)”。
17.答案B,解析根据本空前后的without person-to-person communication,have trouble speaking in public可知,没有了面对面的交流,我们会“失去(lose)”我们的语言技能,连当众讲话都会有困难。
18.答案D,解析根据本空前的more difficult可知,由于我们不“能(able)”读懂对方的身势语,所以正常的辩论都会变得更加困难。
19.答案B,解析根据本空前的aids long-distance communication greatly和本空后的a stopping point可知,这两个分句之间为转折关系,故选but。
20.答案A,解析根据全文内容,尤其是上句中的a stopping point可知,作者认为我们不能把社交网络作为沟通的主要“方式(form)”。

五、短文改错
这是一篇议论文。文章介绍了互联网在我们的生活中扮演着越来越重要的角色。
【详解】
第一处:考查固定用法。句意:众所周知,互联网在我们的生活中扮演着越来越重要的角色。As is known to all的意思是众所周知,这是一个固定用法,所以by改成to。
第二处:考查固定用法。句意:众所周知,互联网在我们的生活中扮演着越来越重要的角色。play a part in参与;起作用;扮演角色,这是一个固定用法,所以on改成in。
第三处:考查连词。句意:在网上,我们不仅可以看到国内外新闻,而且可以获得尽可能多的信息。“国内新闻”和“国外新闻”这两者是并列关系,所以or改成and。
第四处:考查固定用法。句意:在网上,我们不仅可以看到国内外新闻,而且可以获得尽可能多的信息。as much as possible尽可能多,这是一个固定用法,所以在第一个as后面加much。
第五处:考查固定用法。句意:例如,我们经常给我们的家人和朋友发送电子邮件和打电话。for example例如,这是一个固定用法,所以去掉an。
第六处:考查固定用法。句意:例如,我们经常给我们的家人和朋友发送电子邮件和打电话。make telephone calls的意思是打电话,这是一个固定用法,所以call改成calls。
第七处:考查代词。句意:另外,我们经常在学校上网,读不同种类的书,甚至自学英语。题干中是“我们……”,所以they改成we。
第八处:考查主谓一致。这个句子的主语是“we”,不是第三人称单数,所以teaches改成teach。
第九处:考查句子结构。这个句子是由and连接的几个并列的动词,与前面的情态动词can连用,用动词原形,所以watching改成watch。
第十处:考查常用结构。句意:我们甚至可以不离开我们的房子,就能购物。without是一个介词,介词后面应该接v+ing形式,所以left改成leaving。

2.考查名词。句意:使用ICQ,你可以聊天,发送信息和文件。message是可数名词,故填 messages。
3.考查副词。句意:只需点一下鼠标,你和你的朋友就可以立即联系起来。修饰are connected作状语,应使用副词。故填immediately 。
4.考查时间状语从句。分析句子结构,此处应填入连词引导从句,根据语境,表示“当你安装ICQ时,程序会要求你注册。”故填When 。
5.考查固定短语。句意:程序会要求你注册。ask sb to do,要求某人做某事,故填to register 。
6.考查现在分词。句意:你也可以输入关于你自己的信息,这会允许其他ICQ用户在你登录时认出你。空格前后构成了逻辑上的主动关系,故填allowing。
7.考查固定短语中的冠词。句意:注册后,你可以制作ICQ好友列表。make a list of…意为“制作…的清单”。故填a。
8.考查谓语动词。句意:然后ICQ会使用这个好友列表来识别你的朋友。文章是在介绍ICO的功能,因此可以使用一般现在时。use这个动作相对于make a list of而言,是之后发生的,因此可以使用一般将来时。故填uses或will use。
9.考查固定短语。句意:不论你是在亚洲还是欧洲。whether…or…意为“不管...还是…” 。故填or 。
10.考查固定短语。此处应填入形容词作表语,构成短语be accessible to,意为“可用的,可接近的”。 例句:They are easily accessible to the general public. 公众接近他们很容易。在本句中结合语境翻译为 “联系上” ,整个句子表示,你都可以通过ICQ随时地与任何地方的朋友取得联系。故填accessible。
