【解析】试题分析:本文主要讲述了因特网对于人们生活的积极的和消极的影响。文章最后强调尽管网络给我带来好处,但是我们也不能做网络的奴隶。
【1】考查定语从句。“___1___ two students had a debate about the strengths and weaknesses of the Internet”修饰conference,分析句子成分可知,关系词在从句中作抽象地点状语,用关系副词where引导非限制性定语从句。故填where。
【2】考查名词。句意:第一个演讲者讨论了因特网在生活中的积极影响。介词后接名词作宾语,根据第三段提到的the negative effects可推断,此处用复数表示多方面的影响。故填effects。
【3】考查动词。句意:第一个影响就是它对于正在寻找信息的人们的价值。根据语境可知,从句使用现在进行时;“who ___3___ (look) for information.”是定语从句,关系代词作主语,从句的谓语动词look与先行词people保持人称和数的一致。故填are looking。
【4】考查连词。句意:例如,只要触摸按钮或者点击鼠标,学生们就能发现按照他指令显示的充足的信息。此处表示两种方式的选择。故填or。
【5】考查非谓语动词。句意:第二个积极的影响就是通过网络联系其他人的能力。the ability to do sth.“做某事的能力”,是常用搭配。故填to relate。
【6】考查定语从句。“___6___ can’t leave their homes”是定语从句修饰disabled people,从句中作主语,指人,引导定语从句用关系代词who或者that。故填who/that。
【7】考查数词。根据第二段提到的The first speaker可知,此处指第二个演讲者,用序数词。故填second。
【8】考查非谓语动词。介词后接动名词作宾语。故填forming。
【9】考查形容词的比较级。根据下文的than可知,此处考查形容词的比较级,much的比较级是more。故填more。
【10】考查形容词。句意:我自己的判断是尽管因特网是有益的,但是我们应当使用我们的才智而不是做网络的奴隶。be是系动词,后接形容词构成系表结构。故填beneficial。
【题目】请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意:每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案写在答题卷上相应题号的横线上。
If You Get In, Make College Count
As tuition costs rise, with post-undergraduate (本科毕业后) jobs difficult to find, is higher education worth the cost?
Here is an unfortunate truth: For far too many incoming freshmen, college-any college-is not worth it. Year after year, students fail to get the full value of their tuition.
Many critics blame this cost/value problem on the universities, though each critic might point to a different reason: teachers always think of difficult research, the high costs of athletics, or the popularity of majors that are supposedly not suited to the new job market, to name some of their favorites.
But these are symptoms and not the illness itself. In our experience, the source of the wasted university experience begins with the student. Too often, students make bad choices or, frankly, just not enough great choices.
Too often we meet students who are so exhausted by the business of getting into college that they don’t work hard once they arrive-one of the most common wastes of time and tuition. A poorly constructed transcript (成绩单) can be destructive to a student’s education. Failure to engage and build professional working relationships with professors in office hours (which may lead to continued study, internships and more) also hurts the student’s experience.
Another mistake is failing to make use of the many support networks on today’s college campuses. It’s almost embarrassing how many good offerings are rolled into each tuition dollar, but most students don’t know they exist.
Another common point of failure is filling the schedule with too many extracurricular activities as students once did in high school, rather than getting intensely involved in one or two at most. The same can be said of overburdened course loads.
The final great failure we frequently see is the approach students (and their parents) take to selecting a major and accurately seeing its impact on a future career. University systems are not vocational schools. While critics nowadays complain about the attraction of useless majors — and some do exist — more frequently we see too many students pursue a course of study that is not their strength, simply because it seems to have obvious connections to a potential job after graduation.
Rather than perform poorly in a “practical” major and be of little interest as a future job candidate, we say it is better to major in a subject where a student would do well and master the tools of communication and analysis. Students who choose a unique major should complement (使更具有吸引力) that with some well-chosen skill courses, internships and other co-curricular activities that help them with career opportunities after college.
So, is college worth it? It can be. Studies show that college graduates have many advantages — material, social and emotional — that can lead to greater success later in life.
To get the full value out of college, students must be as diligent and creative about getting out of college as they were about getting in. After all, the most beautiful, Olympic saltwater pool does you no good if you don’t know how to swim.
