The Turning Point

A handsome, middle aged man walked quietly into the cafe and sat down. Before he  1 , he couldn't help but  2  a group of younger men at the table next to him. It was  3  they were making fun of something about him, and it wasn't until he remembered he was  4  a small pink ribbon on the lapel (翻領(lǐng)) of his suit that he became aware of what the  5 was all about.

The man  6  the reaction as ignorance, but the smirks (嬉笑) began to get to him. He looked one of the  7  men square in the eye, placed his hand beneath the ribbon and asked, "This?"

With that the men all began to laugh out loud. The man he  8  said, as he fought back  9 , "Hey, sorry man, but we were just commenting on how  10  your little ribbon looks against your blue jacket!"

The middle aged man  11  motioned for the joker to come over to his table, and invited him to sit down. As  12  as he was, the guy obliged, not really sure why. In a  13  voice, the middle aged man said, "I wear this ribbon to bring  14  about breast cancer. I wear it in my mother's  15 ."

"Oh, sorry. She died of breast cancer?"

"No, she didn't. She's alive and 16. But her breasts nourished (養(yǎng)育) me as an infant, and were a soft  17  place for my  18 when I was scared or  19  as a little boy. I'm very grateful for my mother's breasts, and her  20 ."

Answer 1

解析:

1. B。根據(jù)前一句“invented a term”可知，該“字眼，詞語”是"networked individualism"。

2. C。根據(jù)下一句“How can we be individuals and be networked  3  ?”可知，該詞語不“容易”理解，理解上有難度。

3. A。根據(jù)文章最后一句可知。我們?cè)趺纯梢允莻�(gè)體，而“同時(shí)”又是聯(lián)網(wǎng)的呢？

4. D。要做到這點(diǎn)，你需要其他人在“網(wǎng)絡(luò)”上。

5. A 。what引導(dǎo)主語從句，并在從句中充當(dāng)means的賓語。how和when為副詞，不能充當(dāng)賓語，which也為代詞，但其表示指定范圍中選擇。

6. C。在因特網(wǎng)和email發(fā)明之前，我們的社會(huì)網(wǎng)絡(luò)主要包括親戚、鄰居、同事等的真實(shí)交往。

7. A。見上句。

8. B。其中有些“交往、互動(dòng)”是通過電話進(jìn)行的。

9. D。這些聲音對(duì)聲音、個(gè)人與個(gè)人的互動(dòng)，是在“真實(shí)的”時(shí)間進(jìn)行的。

10. B。根據(jù)13空一句中的study可知，指的是由the Pew Internet and American Life Project進(jìn)行的最近的一項(xiàng)“研究”。

11. A。該項(xiàng)研究“表明”……

12. C。對(duì)于許多人來說，通過電腦進(jìn)行的電子互動(dòng)“取代”了那種特定的個(gè)人對(duì)個(gè)人的互動(dòng)。

13. A。然而，許多接受the Pew網(wǎng)采訪的人“說”這是好事情。

14. D。為什么呢？在過去，許多人“擔(dān)心”網(wǎng)絡(luò)會(huì)使我們與世隔絕。

15. B。并導(dǎo)致我們“花費(fèi)”太多的時(shí)間在電腦的虛擬世界中。

16. A。但是，the Pew網(wǎng)的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，事實(shí)正相反。根據(jù)but表轉(zhuǎn)折可推知。

17. A。網(wǎng)絡(luò)將我們與更多的真實(shí)的人的“連接”起來。

18. C。根據(jù)下文的who引導(dǎo)的定語從句的內(nèi)容可知，這些人是可以為我們“提供幫助的”人。

19. B。 play an important role in在……中擔(dān)任重要角色，此為固定詞組。

20. D。根據(jù)3空一句可知，網(wǎng)絡(luò)個(gè)體化實(shí)現(xiàn)了個(gè)人獨(dú)立和與人共處的同時(shí)存在。
