But as more of our lives move online, are Internet-based interactions sufficient for a fulfilling life?There have been considerable warnings about the drawbacks of online interactions. Some scholars have realized that our devo

11、tion to the screens is detracting from face-to-face conversations. For instance, a study showed that children who had been spending time with television and computers for a long period of time were significantly worse at recognizing nonverbal（非语言的）psychological suggestions in a conversation than tho

12、se who had just five days without screens.But there is another side to the argument: A 2015 Pew Foundation report found that teenagers use online interactions to strengthen their friendships. Plus, 57% of teenagers reported that theyd made friends online. Amori Milkami, a psychology professor at the

13、 University of British Columbia, has conducted several studies on online interactions and tells that the nature of online communication is changing as young people treat social networks in an entirely different ways.Too much research tends to mix all online interactions together, she says, instead o

14、f distinguishing between positive, meaning conversations and more superficial, negative exchanges. According to her, online communities can be especially useful for people who have an unusual concern and live in isolated areas, and so are unlikely to meet people with similar concerns in person.“The

15、major good aspect of online interactions compared to in-person ones is that social network allow users to interact with so many people at once. Whether or not thats positive or negative depends on the type of friends you have. Its possible to get the same level of achievement from online interaction

16、s as it is from in=person friends,” says Mikami. “This might be hard for older adults to believe and it might not be possible for them, because they might not feel comfortable having those kinds of deep online interactions. To them, the online world will always be more superficial. But young people

17、really see it differently.”As the nature of online interactions continually evolve, its difficult to definitely establish whether or not social media friendships alone are sufficient. But for those who dont have strong in-person support groups, the value of online communities shouldnt be dismissed.1

Scientists can speed up the growth by modifying, or changing, the structure of plants genes. The modifications make them

25、react quickly to changes in light. This all has to do with photosynthesis（光合作用）, the process in which plants turn sunlight, carbon dioxide and water into food.Plants grow fastest in the sun. That is when they make the most food for themselves. But their rate of growth can slow when things like cloud

26、s or trees block sunlight. But when the sun returns, it can take many minutes for growth to speed up again. This can be a problem because it means some of our most important crop plants are not as productive as they could be.Steve Long, a plant biologist with the University of Illinois, wanted to fi

27、nd a way to help plants get back up to speed quickly after a period of darkness. So he and his team added genes that shortened the recovery time. It also increased the speed at which the plants grew. His modified plants grew up to 20 percent more than untreated ones.This finding, where weve just mad

28、e one modification that has boosted crop yield, is really a boost to the whole area, because everyone else working on photosynthesis can now see that if we can improve photosynthetic efficiency in crops, we will get more yield.” Long wrote in a magazine article.In Longs study, his group used a form

29、of genetic engineering called transgenics. It means taking genes from one plant, then putting them into another. There is a scientific debate about whether transgenics is a good idea or not.Matthew Reynolds from the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center spoke to VOA on Skype. “The increas

30、ed rates of production noted by Longs team are impressive.” He has some hope about the process. But he also has questions. What is the downside? Why have the plants not done that before? And we always ask those questions when we see something that looks a bit too good to be trueLongs group worked wi

40、e direct effect we have on our friends and family. But we rarely consider that everything we think, feel, do, or say can spread far beyond the people we know. Conversely(相反地), our friends and family serve as conduits(渠道) for us to be influenced by hundreds or even thousands of other people. In a kin

41、d of social chain reaction, we can be deeply affected by events we do not witness that happen to people we do not know. As part of a social network, we go beyond ourselves, for good or ill, and become a part of something much larger.Our connectedness carries with it fundamental implications(影响) for

42、the way we understand the human condition. Social networks have value precisely because they can help us to achieve what we could not achieve on our own. Yet, social network effects are not always positive. Depression, obesity, financial panic, and violence also spread. Social networks, it turns out

43、, tend to magnify(放大) whatever they are seeded with.Partly for this reason, social networks are creative. And what these networks create does not belong to any one individualit is shared by all those in the network. In this way, a social network is like a commonly owned forest: we all stand to benef

44、it from it, but we also must work together to ensure it remains healthy and productive. While social networks are fundamentally and distinctively human, and can be seen everywhere, they should not be taken for granted.If you are happier or richer or healthier than others, it may have a lot to do wit

45、h where you happen to be in the network, even if you cannot recognize your own location. And it may have a lot to do with the overall structure of the network, even if you cannot control that structure at all. And in some cases, the process feeds back to the network itself. A person with many friend

46、s may become rich and then attract even more friends. This richget-richer dynamic means social networks can dramatically reinforce two different kinds of inequality in our society: situational inequality and positional inequality.Lawmakers have not yet considered the consequences of positional inequ

47、ality. Still, understanding the way we are connected is an essential step in creating a more just society and in carrying out public policies affecting everything from public health to the economy. We might be better off vaccinating(接种疫苗) centrally located individuals rather than weak individuals. W

48、e might be better off helping interconnected groups of people to avoid criminal behavior rather than preventing or punishing crimes one at a time.If we want to understand how society works, we need to fill in the missing links between individuals. We need to understand how interconnections and inter

49、actions between people give rise to wholly new aspects of human experience that are not present in the individuals themselves. If we do not understand social networks, we cannot hope to fully understand either ourselves or the world we inhabit.8. What can be inferred from the first paragraph?A. We c

50、ant be easily affected by strangers.B. We are connected and form a social network.C. We have negative effects on other social members.D. We will not make a difference in a specific group.9. What does the underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to ?A. something largerB. our connectednessC

51、. the human conditionD. a social network10. A social network can be compared to a commonly owned forest because _.A. it remains healthy and productive.B. it tends to magnify negative things.C. it is creative and shared by people in the whole society.D. what it creates can be enjoyed by everyone in t

52、he network.11. Whats the authors purpose in writing the passage?A. To introduce the characteristics of social networks.B. To urge people to understand how our society works.C. To show the significance of understanding social networks.D. To explain the possible consequences of ignoring social network

53、s.【答案】8. B 9. B 10. D 11. C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文。文章讨论了社会关系和社会关系网的重要性。【8题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段的内容，尤其是最后一句As part of a social network, we go beyond ourselves, for good or ill, and become a part of something much larger.可知我们作为社会网络的一员，会超越我们自己，成为更大网络的一部分。由此可知选项B. We are connected and form a social network.（我们与他人联系在一

54、起，并形成了一个社会网络）正确。故B项正确。【9题详解】词义猜测题。根据第二段第一句Our connectedness carries with it fundamental implications(影响) for the way we understand the human condition.可知伴随着我们与社会的关联而来的，是对我们了解人的状况的方式的根本影响，此处carry是及物动词，后跟宾语fundamental implications， with it是插入其中的状语成分，意为“随之”，并且结合句意可知it代指our connectedness我们与社会的关联。故B项正确。【

55、10题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段中的And what these networks create does not belong to any one individualit is shared by all those in the network. In this way, a social network is like a commonly owned forest这种网络创造出来的产品并不属于任何个人，而是整个网络里面的人所共享的。在这方面，一个社会网络就像一片共有的森林一样。由此可知选项D. what it creates can be enjoyed by everyone

56、in the network.（它所创造的可以被网络里的每一个成员共享。）正确。故D项正确。【11题详解】目的意图题。根据最后一段最后一句“If we do not understand social networks，we cannot hope to fully understand either ourselves or the world we inhabit.”可知，文章旨在表明社会关系网的重要性。故C项正确。【点睛】根据文体特点推理作者意图(1)记叙文：一般会在首段或尾段出现高度概括的总结性的语言，且往往有一定的哲理性，所有的叙述都是围绕该哲理展开。(2)广告类应用文：文章中有对某

57、种物品或服务的详尽介绍，使用具有明显支持倾向的语言。(3)说明文：写作目的有赖于对文章主旨的把握，阅读时需要找准主题句。(4)议论文：提出论点进行论证得出结论，作者的意图往往隐含于最后一部分中。2看写作手法找答案(1)在文章开头提出问题或介绍与主题有关的其他事物时答案中往往会含有to bring in/to introduce the topic等字眼。(2)举例或引用某人的话时答案中往往会含有to support/to show例如本题中的第4题，文章为议论文，文章先提出论点，再进行论证，最后得出结论，因此通过最后一段所给信息可知文章旨在表明社会关系的重要性。DI cant stop loo

58、king at my phone, but Im not alone.Over 2.5 billion people have smartphones now, and a lot of them are having a hard time putting them down. The problem is, out devices are designed to be addicting. But if you understand the tricks that grab your attention, you can learn to have a healthier relation

59、ship with your phone.It starts with turning off all notifications（推送通知）, except when a real human is trying to reach you. But a lot of todays apps simulate the feeling of that kind of social interaction, to get you to spend more time on their platform. If Facebook sends you a push notification that

60、a friend is interested in an event near you, theyre essentially acting like a puppet master, taking advantage of your desire for social connections so that you use the app more.Today you can get notifications from any app on your phone. So, every time you check it, you get this grab bag of notificat

61、ions that can make you feel a broad variety of emotions. If it wasnt for random, if it was predictably bad or predictably good, then you would not get addicted. Thats the same logic behind slot machines（老虎机）. Some apps even copy the process of pulling a slot machine lever with the “pull to refresh”

62、feature. Those apps are usually capable of continuously updating content, but the pull action provides an addicting illusion of control over that process.Then, you have to make your screen grayer. The easiest way to attract your eyes attention on a screen is through color. In eye-tracking tests, hum

63、an eyes gravitate（被吸引）particularly to bright red. Thats why so many apps have redesigned their icons to be brighter, bolder, and warmer over the years. Its also why notification bubbles are red. So just noticing that if I take out the color, it changes some of the addictiveness.Finally, restrict you

64、r home screen to everyday tools. Make sure that your home screen, when you unlock it, doesnt have anything except for the in-the-moment tools that help you like live your life.If youre not sure what counts as a bottomless vortex（漩涡）of stuff, it helps to filter out apps that use infinite scrolling. I

65、nfinite scrolling continuously loads new material so theres no built-in endpoint. Video autoplay works in a similar way. These interfaces create a frictionless experience, but they also create a users sense of control and make it harder to stop.Technology might not always look harmful. There are ide

66、as for alternative interfaces that give you functional choices and are more transparent about how much time youll lose with one action, versus another.But its a really deep philosophical question: what is genuinely worth your attention? Do people even know how to answer that question? Its a really h

67、ard question, its not something we think about. But, for now, its a question that everybody needs to start asking.12. Which is the most accurate word to replace the underlined word “essentially”?A. basicallyB. necessarilyC. temporarilyD. punctually13. What does the author mean by mentioning “slot ma

68、chine”?A. Users can probably predict what the notification is before checking their phones.B Netizens can do gambling on the internet legally.C. Therere a lot of similarities between apps and slot machines.D. Its unpredictability that makes phones addicting.14. From the end of the article we can kno

69、w that _.A. all the interfaces are not extremely addictingB. we users are not enabled to choose but to waste time on technologyC. its philosophers job to reflect on the value of technology in information ageD. the development of technology cannot be changed back to the way they were before15. We can

70、 learn from the passage that the authors attitude to technology is _.A. negativeB. concernedC. positiveD. indifferent【答案】12. A 13. D 14. A 15. B【解析】本文是一篇议论文。作者在文中讨论了如何让自己对手机不那么上瘾，并提出了几条建议。【12题详解】词义猜测题。根据第三段中的If Facebook sends you a push notification that a friend is interested in an event near you,

71、theyre essentially acting like a puppet master, taking advantage of your desire for social connections so that you use the app more.可知如果脸书给你发了一个推送：你的朋友对你附近发生的事感兴趣，那么它们基本上就像木偶大师一样，利用你对社交联系的渴望让你更多地使用这个软件。essentially基本上，与basically意义相同。故A项正确。【13题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段中的if it was predictably bad or predictably g

72、ood, then you would not get addicted. Thats the same logic behind slot machines（老虎机）. Some apps even copy the process of pulling a slot machine lever with the “pull to refresh” feature.可知如果你对推送的内容可预测，那么不会对其上瘾。这就和老虎机的原理（充满变化）一样。（为了增加不可预测性）有些应用软件甚至模仿了老虎机的原理具有了“不断更新”的能力。由此可知，不可预测性会让使用者上瘾。故D项正确。【14题详解】推

73、理判断题。根据Technology might not always look harmful. There are ideas for alternative interfaces that give you functional choices and are more transparent about how much time youll lose with one action, versus another.可知，科技并不总是有害的，有些供选择的使用界面能够给你功能性的选择，并且对于你使用的时间更加透明。由此我们可以推知并不是所有的使用界面会让人极为上瘾。故A项正确。【15题详解

74、】推理判断题。作者在文中讨论了如何让自己对手机不那么上瘾，并提出了几条建议。并结合最后一句Its a really hard question, its not something we think about. But, for now, its a question that everybody needs to start asking.可知作者对于科技（的使用和影响）是很关注的。A. negative否定的；B. concerned关心的；C. positive积极的；D. indifferent不关心的。故B项正确。第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分7.5分)根据短文内容, 从

76、ls out to their parent the great-grandparent.The format of these videos is being described as the “four-generation challenge”. _16_ People from all over the world have left comments and even made their own versions.A Facebook user named Antoine Yupud wrote, “I have to give that to China. _17_.” The

77、“four-generation” videos have not only touched foreign viewers, but also given them a deeper look into Chinese family values.In most East Asian cultures, it is common for many generations of a single family to live together under one roof. _18_. Many Western countries tend to have nuclear families,

78、made up of just children and their parents._19_. Kids usually move out of the family home after turning 18. Many apply for loans and work part-time jobs to pay for college and rent. If they choose to continue living with their parents after becoming an adult, it can be seen as a sign of immaturity o

79、r failure.Although family structures in the United States may differ, the loving bonds between family members are common to both. _20_.A. Family devotion is usually a strong value.B.

83、ilies提到了西方国家倾向于有核心家庭，与之相对应的就是中国的extended family（大家庭）。故选B。【19题详解】考查句意理解和上下文语境理解。结合后句Kids usually move out of the family home after turning 18. Many apply for loans and work part-time jobs to pay for college and rent.可知在美国社会非常注重独立意识的培养：孩子到了十八岁之后就要离开家，搬到外面去住。很多都申请贷款和做兼职来付大学学费和租房费用。所以本段主要是将在美国家庭观念的特点。选项

84、E. In United States culture, independence is highly valued.在美国文化中，符合。故选E。【20题详解】考查句意理解和上下文语境理解。结合前句Although family structures in the United States may differ, the loving bonds between family members are common to both.尽管美国的家庭结构不同，但是家庭成员之间的爱的联系是共同的。可知G.
