　　第一部分　选修七　Unit 2

　　Ⅰ.阅读理解

　　(2017·北京市海淀区下学期期中)

　　Everywhere I look outside my home I see people busy on their high­tech devices, while driving, walking, shopping, even sitting in toilets. When connected electronically, they are away from physical reality.

　　People have been influenced to become technology addicted. One survey reported that “addicted” was the word most commonly used by people to describe their relationship to iPad and similar devices. One study found that people had a harder time resisting the allure of social media than they did for sleep, cigarettes and alcohol.

　　The main goal of technology companies is to get people to spend more money and time on their products, not to actually improve our quality of life. They have successfully created a cultural disease. Consumers willingly give up their freedom, money and time to catch up on the latest information, to keep pace with their peers or to appear modern.

　　I see people trapped in a pathological(病态的)relationship with time­sucking technology, where they serve technology more than technology serves them. I call this technology servitude. I am referring to a loss of personal freedom and independence because of uncontrolled consumption of many kinds of devices that eat up time and money.

　　What is a healthy use of technology devices? That is the vital question. Who is really in charge of my life? That is what people need to ask themselves if we are to have any chance of breaking up false beliefs about their use of technology. When we can live happily without using so much technology for a day or a week, then we can regain control and personal freedom, become the master of technology and discover what there is to enjoy in life free of technology. Mae West is famous for proclaiming the wisdom that “too much of a good thing is wonderful.”

　　But it's time to discover that it does not work for technology.

　　Richard Fernandez, an executive coach at Google acknowledged that “we can be swept away by our technologies”.

　　To break the grand digital connection people must consider how life long ago could be fantastic without today's overused technology.

　　文章大意：文章作者指出了人们过度使用科技的许多弊端，反对大众对高科技设备的过度依赖。

　　(2017·云南省部分名校1月统考)

　　John Allen, __1__ American scientist once said, “The Internet is the world's largest library, but all the books in it are on the floor！” What he meant is that the Internet is full of information but it can be difficult to find __2__ you really need. The Internet has another __3__ (advantage). Anyone can create a website, so you can find websites about whatever you can imagine. Unfortunately, a lot of what __4__ (write) on them isn't always true!

　　At the same time, the Internet provides many other things. On some websites, you can download music and films. They are usually very cheap __5__ some are even free. On some other websites, you can connect with people __6__ all over the world. And there are some great online shops, too. For example, on eBay, people sell used clothes, CDs and even cars at very low prices.

　　It is true that the Internet __7__ (change) the way we work and communicate. But we shouldn't depend on __8__ too much. Some people are also afraid that __9__ (surf) the Internet has taken the place of other healthier activities, __10__ (especial) for young people. Whether you love it or hate it, though, you'd better get used to it because it's right here to stay.

　　文章大意：网络的优缺点及其对我们的影响。

　　1．an　缺少冠词。American第一个音素是元音，所以用an。

　　2．what　__2__you really need是宾语从句，该部分缺少宾语，所以填what。

　　3．disadvantage　考查词形变化。该部分讲的是网络的缺点，disadvantage，意为“缺点，不利条件”。

　　4．is written　what __4__ on them是主语从句，“被写在网上的很多东西都不是真的”。 由句意可知，应该用被动语态，该部分时态为一般现在时；从句做主语看作单数，所以填is written。

　　5．and　空前后为并列关系，所以填and。

　　6．from　考查介词。在有些网站，你可以联系来自世界各地的人们。from“来自”。

　　7．has changed　考查时态。“网络已经改变了我们工作和交流的方式”，所以用现在完成时。

　　8．it　it指代the Internet。

　　9．surfing　__9__ (surf) the Internet是从句主语，所以用其－ing形式。

　　10．especially　考查词形变化。“尤其是年轻人”。此时用副词。

　　(2017·山西大学附中5月)

　　It is five years now since I graduate from No. 3 High School. Last Saturday, the class that I was on held a get­together, which took us a long time prepare. It was indeed not easy to get in the touch with everybody and set a well time for all of us. We all enjoyed this precious day greatly, remember the time we spent together and the people they were familiar with. It was a pity which some of us were not present as they had gone to abroad for further study, but they called back or sent greeting card from different places.
