9.As I enter my 40s,I've noticed many of my parents'generation think social networking is something they are simply incapable of understanding.They fear that,should they try,they will somehow get it wrong; they will say the wrong thing,do the wrong thing or behave in a way that causes embarrassment.But here's the first secret of social media:Everyone feels this way.I recently met a young actor who was complaining that her work demands that she join Microblog,but she always feels like she doesn't have anything smart to say.It's the same resistance I hear from the older generation,who,however,have somehow convinced themselves that age is the barrier,rather than the differences of individual taste.
Here's the second secret of social media:everybody uses it for more or less the same reasons.Older generations often sign up to stay in touch with children and relatives.We talk about this kind of contact like it's some old-fashioned activity,but it is exactly why younger people use social media.The truth is most people use social media to gently keep an eye on one another,to see how those they care about are doing without needing to ring them up on the phone every night.
And this is the last secret of social media:everyone gets to use it their own way.Newcomers-younger and older-who worry about"getting it right"are assuming that there's a right way to get it.But actually there isn't.Personally,I talk a lot on Microblog.And some people post nothing and they use social media everyday as readers.Social media companies would rather see people pumping their networks full of pictures and posts,but there's no rule against being a fly on the wall.It's also a fine way to engage.
We're quick to forget that the web wasn't invented by 13-year-olds; it was created by today's seniors.I'd never try forcing those with no interest on social networks to use Microblog.But don't let the talk of age divides put you off.There's nothing to stop the older generation from re-taking the network their own generation created.

分析 本文中作者发现老一辈人都不爱玩社交网络,这里涌现出了很多原因,也是每位人使用社交网络所遇到的.作者认为,社交网络不应该以年龄区分,没有什么可以阻止旧一代重新认识他们自己的下一代创造的网络科技.
解答 47.D.推理预测题.文章开篇提到"I've noticed many of my parents'generation think social networking is something they are simply incapable of understanding"作者发现到许多老一辈认为社交网络是他们根本无法理解的东西,文章最后一段又提到"But don't let the talk of age divides put you off"不要让你的年龄把你关闭,可推测,作者写这篇文章目的是为了缓解老一代害怕使用社交媒体这一现象.故选D.
48.B.推理判断题.根据第四段的some people post nothing but just read others'posts.Social media companies would rather see people filling their networks up with pictures and posts,but there's no rule against being a fly on the wall可知,有些人只在社交网络浏览别人的帖子,但是自己从来不发帖.虽然社交网络的运营者们也希望人们多发帖,但是也不反对不发帖的行为.故可以推断a fly on the wall指代的就是本句中提到的只读贴而不发帖的人.故选B.
49.A.细节理解题.根据文章第一段"They fear that,should they try,they will somehow get it wrong; they will say the wrong thing,do the wrong thing or behave in a way that causes embarrassment"可知,他们担心,他们会以某种方式犯错;他们会说错话,做错事或行为的一种方式,这里都是尴尬的原因.故选A.
50.B.篇章结构题.通读全文可知,开篇提出现象,后三段对这种现象进行了更加详细的阐述,结尾作者表达自己的观点进行总结.可见是分-总结构.故选B.
