Section ⅡReading and Thinking基础知识预习自检一起更强：我们是如何被互联网改变的关于互联网的神奇已经写了很多了。

有数不清的文章告诉我们互联网是如何使我们的生活更加便利的。

购物的时候，不需要排长队或者携带现金。

我们可以从大数据库中获取最新信息。

不论何时我们需要软件、文件和图片都可以下载。

但是，互联网远不止做了这些让人们的生活更便捷的事。

人们的生活已经被在线社区和社交网络所改变。

Jan Tchamani，来自英国伯明翰的一位英语教师，突然患上了一种严重的疾病并且不得不辞掉了工作。

在她50岁的时候，她发现自己失业了，只能待在家里，只有电脑作伴。

过了一段时间，她发现上网可以帮助她减少孤独感和无聊感。

她可以听音乐、看电影、玩游戏并且探索世界。

她也加入了一个在线聊天小组，在那里她可以倾诉问题并从其他人那里得到支持和建议。

她认识到网络最大的好处之一就是能够消除人与人之间通常存在的距离。

她被从网上认识的人鼓励，由此决定开设一个IT俱乐部去教年纪大的人们如何使用电脑和上网。

现在，她和朋友们组织活动和筹集资金去支付私人教师的费用。

许多人被这个俱乐部帮助。

一个59岁的男人学会了在网上找工作并找到了一份很好的工作。

既然他有工作，并且可以照顾好自己，他的女儿也有时间在大学学习。

一位61岁的独居老妇人和两个朋友在网络上开办了一家小规模的公司。

她不再感到孤独，而且她的公司非常成功。

Jan已经开始参加在线课程，学习如何利用互联网使社会变得更好。

她认为，消除数字鸿沟，确保每个人都能上网，知道如何使用新技术，这一点非常重要。

她的下一个目标是成立一个慈善网站，为贫困国家的儿童筹集资金。

Jan的生活因为互联网得到了巨大的改变。

“当你经历艰难的时刻时，你会遇到同样面临挑战的人，” Jan说道。

“一想到其他人的处境就激励着我提供帮助”。

One of the workers explained that many of these students don't get enough to eat at home, so a school lunch or an afterschool meal might be the most food they would get all day.Kapasi, who attends private school, was very surprised. What's more, she made up her mind to help. “I want other kids to understand that if you see a problem,you don't have to wait to grow up to fix it，” says Kapasi. She and a group of friends are now putting their programming skills to work to create an app called Food for Thought, which will allow par ents, students, and even kindhearted strangers to donate to a lunch account for a student in need at a nearby school.About 20 million American kids receive free lunches. Two million more can have lowprice meals, and those students' families have to pay for part of their food. When they don't have the money on any given day, the students might have to settle_for an “alternative (可替代的) meal” such as a cheese sandwich.The app — which is getting financial (财政的) support from a GoFundMe page — provides anonymity (匿名) to those who receive lunch and donors. To receive help, a family will need only a recommendation (推荐) from a school teacher, and no one else has to know.“I want to make an app that all users feel no shame in using，” says Kapasi. She hopes to test the app in a school district this fall.【语篇解读】本文是记叙文。

ABig data of the human face can make a difference. Technology is rapidly catching up with the human ability to read faces. Apple's iPhone X has already used face recognition to unlock the home screen. Face recognition is becoming increasingly common in China, where it has been equipped at ATM and KFC restaurants. It is also used by shop owners to catch shoplifters.Some universities are using face recognition technology as a means to keep track of the students' attendance in the classrooms. Students stand in front of a screen when they walk into lecture halls. Photos taken at the screen are matched with those logged in the university's database. It's believed that the system is highly accurate(精确的) because it can identify students even if they change their hair or wear makeup. Students have joked that face recognition is so strict that they don't dare to skip classes anymore. The traditional way of taking attendance is through a roll call. The new system helps to improve efficiency(效率).Face recognition technology has already been used in different fields in China. Police have set up face recognition scanners at busy crossroads to catch jaywalkers, whose photos will be shown on the digital screen as a warning. In the hotels of Wuzhen attractions, face scanner-equipped gates identify tourists staying in its hotels. The data collected will then serve as Entry Pass through the town's various attractions. Tourists do not have to pay extra entrance fee. Face recognition has also been in business use in China Alipay, for example, is using its face recognition technology to help customers at a Hangzhou KFC branch order food: The camera in the KFC will check customers' face against the ID card photos linked to their Alipay accounts.Face recognition is expected to be used in all sorts of fields. It is going to become part of your life if it isn't already.1.New iPhone uses face recognition to _______.A.catch shopliftersB.unlock the screenC.keep track of customersD.take workers，attendance2.What is the advantage of the new system to track attendance according to the text?A.It can take more pictures.B.It never makes any mistakes.C.It saves time and reduces workload.D.It can identify students by their hair and makeup.3.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.How to Prevent CrimeB.Technology Saves TimeC.Technology Changes LifeD.Amazing Face RecognitionBWhat Is Social Media?Not many people ask the question "What is social media?" anymore. Social media has been around for years now, and most of us would probably describe it as any Internet medium that can be used to share information with others, including blogs, forums, applications, games, websites and other stuff.But let me ask you this: what exactly is so "social" about sitting before a computer setting up a blog and blogging for days without anybody reading it, or scrolling through your Facebook feed of information from 500 friends you barely know? If you ask me, it can be way more antisocial than anything.Social media is not a "thing". It's not just Facebook, WeChat and Weibo. It's more of a frame of mind and a state of being. It's about how you use it to improve your relationships with other people in real life. However, we tend to rely on technology and social media so much that it can actually tear apart those relationships.Social media isn't about numbers. When someone says "social media", web giants like Facebook, Twitter, WeChat and Weibo instantly pop into our minds, often because they have more updates, more friends, more followers, more links, more photos and more everything. We tend to get distracted by the number game, thinking "volume, volume, volume". It leads to a lot of meaningless noise and information overload. As the old saying goes, quality overquantity is usually the way to go. So, social media is not just about lots of people aimlessly spreading lots of information.Social media needs to have an "IRL" factor—an Internet slang standing for "In Real Life". It should affect how a person thinks or acts offline. After all, social media shouldn't be an end in itself. It was built to enhance your actual social life, in real life. Take for example an event that a person attends because he is invited by the host on Facebook through a Facebook event page. Something like that definitely has the IRL factor. Likewise, a WeChat photo that touches someone so much that they feel the need to bring it up and describe it to someone else during a dinner date also has the IRL factor.So, is it really considered to be social to spend an hour scrolling through photos on Weibo, with no thoughtful or emotional effect and no interaction with others? In fact, there is no wall between real life and Internet life where true social media exists.

Lately, their mother helped them express their wish online to meet Queen Elizabeth II, which caught not only millions of social media users9 attention but also the attention of the British ambassador(大使) to China.Five-year-old twins Mi Ai and Mi Ni, who live in Beijing, appeared in a video on social media platform Weibo last week, where they spoke of their love of British cartoon Peppa Pig and their keen interest to visit Buckingham Palace. Mi Ni said she and her sister wanted to visit the gardens at Buckingham Palace, just like Peppa Pig and her friends did in the cartoon. The British ambassador answered their call with her own video, inviting the twins to her house in Beijing. "Hello Mi Ni and Mi Ai," she said. "I'm the British ambassador. I'd like you to come and visit me in my house in Beijing and we can have tea and cookies in a British style." The twins accepted the ambassador's invitation and joined her for afternoon tea on Monday, when they ate cakes and drew pictures of their favorite characters from Peppa Pig. The ambassador has made arrangements for the girls and their parents to tour the UK. They are going to tour the studios where Peppa Pig was made, take a trip to Peppa Pig World theme park in Hampshire and visit Buckingham Palace. The queen has not yet said if she will have time to welcome the girls.The Peppa Pig series, introduced in the mid-2000s in China, has become extremely popular among Chinese children and adults. As this year is the Year of the Pig according to the Chinese tradition, the country has set to mark the Chinese New Year with a film starring Peppa Pig, where the audience can see a number of Chinese cultural elements.1.How did the sisters tell their dream to the queen?A.By taking a personal trip to the UK.B.By writing a letter to the queen.C.By expressing their wish online.D.By giving a call to the ambassador.2.How did the ambassador respond(回应) to the sisters' wish?A.She paid no attention to it.B.She arranged a trip for them.C.She sent her agreement by a call.D.She would show them around the UK.3.What are the two sisters going to do in the UK?A.Enjoy afternoon tea.B.Draw pictures in the Peppa Pig World theme park.C.Visit the studios producing Peppa PigD.Meet the queen in Buckingham Palace.4.Which is the best title of the passage?A.Afternoon Tea with the AmbassadorB.The Film Starring Peppa Pig Put on SoonC.The Popularity of Peppa Pig Series in ChinaD.Twin Fans of Peppa Pig to Take a Trip to the UKDAs for old people, some of the applications are hard to use because they didn't grow up with them. They don't have simple models of how they should work, what to do when something doesn't work or where to go for help. We make it as easy as possible to be used for people who are not familiar with the technology.I think there is huge potential and we are designing it. The ability to connect to friends, who remember the same movies, news and music, is really important, especially as people get old. They end up in retirement at home and they aren't always close to their friends. Allowing the network to help them connect with friends and family is a really powerful thing. My mother is an enthusiastic user of the Internet, although it took me years to get her to use e-mail. She was born with normal hearing, but lost it when she was 3. She was totally deaf for many years, until age 53, when she got ear aids. They work really well. That is a big change for her. But before then, her friends couldn't call her on the phone, so they suggested she use e-mail to communicate with them.Young people don't even think of the Internet as technology. It's just there, and they use it. There's been a very interesting change in communication styles between old people and young people. There are some kids who are now in their teens and aren't willing to make phone calls. And they think e-mail is old-fashioned and slow.The reason why teens don't make phone calls seems to be that they don't know what to say. When they call, they often stop for a while and there's a silence. On the other hand, texting is considered proper, and it's okay if you don't answer. You might have been distracted. It's not rude. But it is strange if you're in this kind of conversation and simply stop talking.1.What is the trouble that old people meet when surfing the Internet?A.They don't know how to use some applications.B.They have to buy electronic productions at a high price.C.There is no professional teacher to teach them how to use the Internet.D.They have no friends to communicate with online.2.What do the young people think of the Internet according to the passage?A.Interesting.B.Amazing.C.Boring.mon.3.We can infer from the passage that the author is a _______.pany managerB.program designerC.college professorD.mobile phone seller4.What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably mean?A.You have replied the message.B.You have walked away from the conversation.C.You have been cut off.D.You have asked for a pardon.第二节根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
