2.An Extension of the Human Brain
   Other people can help us compensate for our mental and emotional deficiencies (欠缺),much as a wooden leg can compensate for a physical deficiency.To be exact,other people can extend our intelligence and help us understand and adjust our emotions.When another person helps us in such ways,he or she is participating in what I've called a"social prosthetic (義肢的)system."Such systems do not need to operate face-to-face,and it's clear to me that the Internet is expanding the range of my own social prosthetic systems.It's already a big bank of many minds.Even in its current state,the Internet has extended my memory and judgment.
Regarding memory:Once I look up something on the Internet,I don't need to keep all the details for future use-I know where to find that information again and can quickly and easily do so.More generally,the Internet functions as if it were my memory.This function of the Internet is particularly striking when I'm writing; I'm no longer comfortable writing if I'm not connected to the Internet.It's become natural to check facts as I write,taking a minute or two to dip into PubMed,Wikipedia,or other websites.
Regarding judgment:The Internet has made me smarter in matters small and large.For example,when I'm writing a textbook,it has become second nature to check a dozen definitions of a key term,which helps me dig into the core and understand its meaning.But more than that,I now regularly compare my views with those of many others.If I have a"new idea,"I now quickly look to see whether somebody else has already thought of it,or something similar-and I then compare what I think with what others have thought.This certainly makes my own views clearer.Moreover,I can find out whether my reactions to an event are reasonable enough by reading about those of others on the Internet.
These effects of the Internet have become even more striking since I've begun using a smartphone.I now regularly pull out my phone to check a fact,watch a video,read weibo.Such activities fill the spaces that used to be dead time (such as waiting for somebody to arrive for a lunch meeting).
But that's the upside (好處).The downside is that in those dead periods I often would let my thoughts flow and sometimes would have an unexpected insight or idea.Those opportunities are now fewer and farther between.

分析 文章講述的是因特網(wǎng)對人們生活的巨大影響:利用網(wǎng)絡(luò),我們可以彌補(bǔ)精神或情感上的不足,可以延伸我們的智慧.網(wǎng)絡(luò)就像充滿各種思想的大倉庫,擴(kuò)展了我們的記憶和判斷.比如:我們在網(wǎng)絡(luò)上查東西,不需要記得細(xì)節(jié)也可以快速找到;網(wǎng)絡(luò)還可以幫我們找到不同的觀點(diǎn),從而對某種事物作出更好的判斷.因?yàn)榫W(wǎng)絡(luò),智能手機(jī)就可以做很多事:查信息,看視頻,刷微博等等.如果說網(wǎng)絡(luò)有什么缺點(diǎn),也許是我們在玩手機(jī)的時(shí)候,沒有了以前那些深度的思考!

解答 71.答案:Internet 原詞再現(xiàn).根據(jù)第一段第四句Such systems do not need to operate face-to-face,and it's clear to me that the Internet is expanding the range of my own social prosthetic systems.可知因特網(wǎng)可以拓寬社會義肢系統(tǒng)的范圍,也就是說網(wǎng)絡(luò)可以彌補(bǔ)我們精神和情感上的缺陷.
72.答案:participates/joins 同義句轉(zhuǎn)換.根據(jù)第一段最后兩句It's already a big bank of many minds.Even in its current state,the Internet has extended my memory and judgment.可知動詞短語"participate/join in"符合句意.
73.答案:keeping 詞形轉(zhuǎn)換.根據(jù)第二段第一句"Once I look up something on the Internet,I don't need to keep all the details…"可知動詞短語"keep…in mind記住",在表格中放在介詞without的后面,要使用動名詞keeping的形式.
74.答案:all/different/various 句意轉(zhuǎn)換.第三段第一句說The Internet has made me smarter in matters small and large.可知在大大小小的事情上,網(wǎng)絡(luò)都能讓我們變得更聰明.
75.答案:heart/core 原詞再現(xiàn).第三段第二句話說it has become second nature to check a dozen definitions of a key term,which helps me dig into the core and understand its meaning.可知網(wǎng)絡(luò)可以讓我們在網(wǎng)絡(luò)上找到最核心的內(nèi)容,從而我們可以知道事物的根本.
76.答案:check 同義詞轉(zhuǎn)換.根據(jù)第三段第四句"If I have a"new idea,"I now quickly look to see whether somebody else has already thought of it,or something similar-and I then compare what I think with what others have thought."當(dāng)我們有了新的觀點(diǎn)以后,我們會上網(wǎng)檢查核對別人是否已經(jīng)有了同樣的觀點(diǎn),并對自己的行動做出判斷.表格中check與原文語義一致.
77.答案:judge 歸納總結(jié).根據(jù)第三段最后一句"Moreover,I can find out whether my reactions to an event are reasonable enough by reading about those of others on the Internet."而且在網(wǎng)絡(luò)上閱讀其他人的信息,讓我判斷我的行為是否合理,所以表格里使用動詞judge.
78.答案:mixed/two 歸納總結(jié).在文章最后兩段中既提到了智能手機(jī)的優(yōu)點(diǎn)也提到了其缺點(diǎn).所以這是智能手機(jī)的正反兩方面內(nèi)容,所以使用形容詞"mixed/two".
79.答案:convenient 同義句轉(zhuǎn)換.根據(jù)第四段后兩句I now regularly pull out my phone to check a fact,watch a video,read weibo.Such activities fill the spaces that used to be dead time (such as waiting for somebody to arrive for a lunch meeting).可知我們可以使用智能手機(jī)隨時(shí)查信息,看視頻,讀微博,使用起來非常方便.所以使用形容詞"convenient".
80.答案:reduce 句意轉(zhuǎn)換.根據(jù)文章最后兩句"The downside is that in those dead periods I often would let my thoughts flow and sometimes would have an unexpected insight or idea.Those opportunities are now fewer and farther between."在過去那些"dead periods"時(shí),我總會有一些靈光一現(xiàn)的神來之念,但是現(xiàn)在這些時(shí)間都被智能手機(jī)占用了.無疑就減少了這些神來之念的可能性.所以表格中使用"reduce the possibility".

點(diǎn)評 任務(wù)型閱讀是考查我們對語篇的理解能力.考查點(diǎn)在于解題時(shí),不僅僅要讀懂文章,還要對文章的內(nèi)容能夠加以復(fù)述和表達(dá),這就要求能夠應(yīng)用語言.平時(shí)練習(xí)時(shí),要多注意同意轉(zhuǎn)述訓(xùn)練,同時(shí)還要練習(xí)對題干重點(diǎn)信息詞的把握.
