Have you got a Facebook account? Are you thinking of getting one? Jamie Simmonds has just signed up. Let’s see how she’s getting along.

My Diary

MONDAY: I’m officially a Facebooker. I find a few people I used to know and I’ve soon got seven friends. I’ve never felt so popular! I wonder if my old university flatmate Steve is on here…What do you know! He is! Maybe Facebook has its uses.

TUESDAY: I’ve received lots of nice welcoming messages on my wall. Later, I meet up with Steve for a drink after not seeing him for five years. We get on really well! Then, he uses his Facebook app for iPhone to suggest me as a friend to some other former classmates. Some of them even come to the pub and it’s just like old times – possibly a bit too much like old times. During the night, photos are uploaded to Facebook.

WEDNESDAY: Disaster! My mum’s on Facebook! Has she seen the photos of me dancing on the table from last night? Has she shown them to dad? Oh. And I have a friend request – mum again!

THURSDAY: There’s a message from my boyfriend, “so, it’s over then, ;is it?” Evidently I haven’t changed my settings to show I’m “in a relationship”, and I haven’t even added him as a friend. Ah, well, I wonder what my ex-boyfriend is doing… Whoops! I accidentally type his name into my status box instead of the search ‘ and now every one can see it on their news feed.’

FRIDAY: Time to update my status:“Work is boring. Can’t wait for the weekend!” Yeah, that about sums it up. Oh, look, I’ve received a comment! Someone must feel the same way. Lots of my friends now“like” this status.

SATURDAY: Good news! I’ve got 100 friends But wait! Someone’s “un-friended” me! I look through my “friend list” to try to work out who it was. Why did they do that? Am I really such a terrible person? I never knew Facebook could be this cruel.

SUNDAY: Wake up. Check my Facebook page. Make coffee. Check my Facebook page again. Get ready to leave. Change my mind and check my Facebook page … again. I am becoming addicted to it! I think it’s time to end it all before it takes over my life. I delete my account. Back to good, old, simple e-mails. Oh, look, I’ve got a message: A friend invited you to join Twitter. . .

In July 2010, Facebook had more than 500 million active users. The average Facebook user has 130 friends. Facebook is translated into more than 70 different languages. The world spends 700 billion minutes a month on Facebook. Facebook creator Mark Zuckerberg’s Facebook page says he’s a Harvard graduate, even though he actually dropped out to focus on Facebook.

试题分析:

1.B 细节题。根据THURSDAY Evidently I haven’t changed my settings to show I’m “in a relationship”, and I haven’t even added him as a friend.说明B正确。

2.A 推理题。根据文章最后一段The average Facebook user has 130 friends. Facebook is translated into more than 70 different languages. The world spends 700 billion minutes a month on Facebook说明人们在facebook中花费了很多的时间内和精力,故A正确。

3.C 推理题。根据本句Good news! I’ve got 100 friends But wait! Someone’s “un-friended” me!说明我有了100个好友,但是有人把我从他的好友中删除了,本题的关键词是but。故C正确。

4.D 推理题。根据TUESDAY:部分的I’ve received lots of nice welcoming messages on my wall. Later, I meet up with Steve for a drink after not seeing him for five years. We get on really well!说明她在刚刚使用的时候很兴奋很有激情,故D正确。

5.C 推理题。作者举Jamie Simmonds为例说明使用facebook的问题,在SUNDAY部分. I am becoming addicted to it! I think it’s time to end it all before it takes over my life. I delete my account. Back to good, old, simple e-mails.说明很多人都上瘾了,影响了正常的生活,故他对facebook持否定的态度。故C正确。

考点:考查社会现象类短文阅读

点评:文章介绍了facebook对人的影响,会让人在它身上花费了太多的时间和精力而影响了正常的生活。同样也是对推理题的考查较多, 解推断题最主要的方法是根据词义关系推断具体细节。

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

“You do not need to be a rocket scientist.” Americans hear these words often.

People say them in schools, offices and factories. Broadcasters on radio and television use them.

How did the expression begin? No one seems to know it. 66 “It grew,” he says, “because rocket scientists probably are the most intelligent people around.”

Not everyone would agree. Some people might be considered more intelligent than rocket scientists. For example, a person who speaks and reads fifteen languages, or a medical doctor who operates on the brain. Still, many people would agree that there is something special about scientists who build rockets. 67

Moving pictures from before World War II showed a man named Buck Rogers landing on the planet Mars. He was a hero who could withdraw any enemy from outer space. The rocket scientist is a different kind of hero. 68

Rocket scientists, however, can have problems just like everyone else. A Washington rocket scientist tells about a launch that was postponed many, many times. Finally, everything seemed right. Mechanical failures had been repaired. The weather was good. The scientists had planned that part of the rocket would fall into the ocean after the launch. All ships and boats within many kilometers of the danger area had been warned. But in the last few seconds a small boat entered the area. 69

70 One scientist said, "As a child I loved to build rockets. Now I am grown. I still love to build rockets. And now I get paid for it."

A.he or she makes space travel possible.

B.It’s dangerous for rocket scientists to build rockets.

C.Maybe it has something to do with the mystery of space travel.

D.When the work goes well, most rocket scientists enjoy their jobs.

E. Have you ever heard of the space travel?

F. But an official of the American space agency, NASA, says the expression just grew.

G. Once again, the launch was put off.
