题目内容

Professor Barry Wellman of the University of Toronto in Canada has invented a term to describe the way many North Americans interact (互动) these days. The term is "networked individualism". This concept is not easy to understand because the words seem to have opposite meanings. How can we be individuals (个体) and be networked at the same time? You need other people for networks.

Here is what Professor Wellman means. Before the invention of the Internet and e-mail, our social networks included live interactions with relatives, neighbors, and friends. Some of the interaction was by phone, but it was still voice to voice, person to person, in real time.

A recent research study by the Pew Internet and American Life Project showed that for a lot of people, electronic interaction through the computer has replaced this person-to-person interaction. However, a lot of people interviewed for the Pew study say that's a good thing. Why?

In the past, many people were worried that the Internet isolated (孤立) us and caused us to spend too much time in the imaginary world of the computer. But the Pew study discovered that the opposite is true. The Internet connects us with more real people than expected－helpful people who can give advice on careers, medical problems, raising children, and choosing a school or college. About 60 million Americans told Pew that the Internet plays an important role in helping them make major life decisions.

Thanks to the computer. We are able to be alone and together with other people－at the same time!

1.The underlined phrase "networked individualism" probably means that by using computers people ________.

A. have the rights and freedom to do things of their own interest

B. are able to keep to themselves but at the same time reach out to other people

C. do things in their own ways and express opinions different from other people

D. stick to their own ways no matter what other people say

2.It can be inferred from the Pew study that ________.

A. people have been separated from each other by using computers

B. the Internet makes people waste a lot of time and feel very lonely

C. the Internet has become a tool for a new kind of social communication

D. a lot of people regard the person-to-person communication as a good thing.

3.According to the Pew study, what do many people rely on to make major life decision?

A. Parents. B. Friends. C. Phones. D. Network.

4.Which would be the best title for this passage?

A. We're Alone on the Internet B. We're Communicating on the Internet

C. We're Alone Together on the Internet D. We're in the Imaginary World of the Internet

As is indicated in the graph，the box-office income of Chinese films increased constantly from 2012 to 2015，but its growth，for one reason or another，slowed down in 2016．

Most people know that Marie Curie was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize, and the first person to win it twice. However, few people know that she was also the mother of a Nobel Prize winner.

Born in September, 1897, Irene Curie was the first of the Curies’ two daughters. Along with nine other children whose parents were also famous scholars, Irene studied in their own school, and her mother was one of the teachers. She finished her high school education at the College of Sevigne in Paris.

At the age of 17 Irene entered the University of Paris to prepare for a degree in mathematics and physics. When World War I began, Irene went to help her mother, who was using X-ray facilities(设备) to help save the lives of wounded soldiers. Irene continued the work by developing X-ray facilities in military hospitals in France and Belgium. Her services were recognized in the form of a Military’s Medal by the French government.

In 1918, Irene became her mother’s assistant at the Curie Institute. In December 1924, Frederic Joliot joined the Institute, and Irene taught him the techniques required for his work. They soon fell in love and were married in 1926. Their daughter Helene was born in 1927 and their son Pierre five years later.

Like her mother, Irene combined family and career. Like her mother, Irene was awarded a Nobel Prize, along with her husband, in 1935. Unfortunately, also like her mother, she developed leukemia because of her work with radioactivity(辐射能). Irene Joliot-Curie died from leukemia on March 17, 1956.
