The idea behind Facebook is to make us feel connected all the time．But in my research, I’ve found that the
truth is quite different．
Technology, it turns out, has made being alone seem like a problem that needs solving．When young people
are alone, even for a minute or two, they feel the need to connect, to get on Facebook or some other social networks
and chat．But in connecting, they often end up feeling more isolated．Why？Because by being in constant(不断
的)connection, they lose the ability to feel satisfied with their own company(独处)．
Facebook can help us keep in touch with our friends, but we too often use it instead of spending facetoface time
with them．And since we feel the need to keep up with them online, we don’t have moments of loneliness where
we can collect our thoughts and learn how to be comfortable being alone．
—Sherry Turkle, Professor
Facebook connects more of us to more of our friends and family in more places than we have ever been
connected before．Yes, Facebook is a huge time sink—maybe the biggest ever．Many people post useless stuff．

Jane, a former student of mine, who is back in New York after living abroad for ten years, told me that
Facebook helps her a lot．The first time she moved back to New York from abroad, she felt disconnected from her
family and friends．Now，because of lots of photos and information updates(更新), she knows what is happening
with her friends all the time．
In fact, if you are lonely in real life, you will be lonely online as well．
—Sree Sreenivasan, Chief Digital Officer

From the beginning of the Internet, online dating (约会) has become one of the most popular things to all the
consumers (顾客). Although this may be fun, it is important to remember to think of your safety when trying to
meet that certain somebody. When talking about safety I am referring to taking care of your computer and yourself.
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂Before getting into the world of online dating you should make sure you take care of protecting your computer. A
good fire wall and an antivirus program are a must. These are needed to protect your emails and anywhere you surf
on the Internet. There are many great programs offered at your local computer store or available to buy online.
With great programs often come some pretty good costs. There is something that is better for the people who just
can't afford the cost of a good antivirus — you can find quite a few decent ones on the Internet for free.
Protecting yourself could surely be much more important than protecting your computer. You want to be careful in
choosing your dating sites. Do some good research. If you know anyone who has tried an online dating service ask
them what they thought. There are so many online dating sites that you should do extensive (广泛的) researches.
Make sure you keep the web addresses. Keep a list of fees, regulations and anything else that looks interesting to
you. If a place looks shady or makes you feel uncomfortable then you should steer clear away. At the end of the day
make sure you take care of yourself.
语篇解读：本文主要介绍了登录约会网站时要注意保护计算机和自己。

6．The second paragraph is mainly to tell us that ________.
A．it is necessary for you to protect your emails
B．good programs are usually very expensive

A．you should try to learn more about them B．you'd better have a talk with your friends
C．you can look through the web addresses D．you will collect as many sites as you can

There have been arguments for years over who should officially go down in history as “the inventor of the
ATM”， and in 2004 a man called John ShepherdBarron received an OBE (大英帝国官佐勋章) in the New Year
Honours list for services to banking as the “inventor of the automatic cash dispenser”．But the UK government is
now unequivocally saying it is James Goodfellow who invented the ATM — so his place in history is now
confirmed.
In the mid1960s, Goodfellow worked at a bank.His managers asked him to think of a way to allow customers to
withdraw cash from banks on Saturdays.“Most people worked during the week and couldn't go to the bank.They
wanted a solution (解决方法)．The solution was a machine which would give money to a customer，” he
says.“I wanted to develop a cash machine and, to make this happen, I invented the PIN (personal identification
number) and a plastic card.”
Goodfellow's first machines were put into use in 1967.The first one was opened at a bank in north London on 27
June, 1967.The machines became very popular, but Goodfellow only received ￡10 for his idea and has not made
any money from it since.
The cash machine is now used all over the world and, every year, there are more and more: there are now three
million ATMs worldwide and there will be four million by 2020.The good news for Goodfellow is that people are
beginning to know him for his invention.The website ATMinventor.com says, “Who invented the ATM as we
know it? It was James Goodfellow's idea.” Even better for Goodfellow, his invention is in a 180page guidebook
called Life in the United Kingdom.In the section about “great British inventions of the twentieth century”， it
says, “In the 1960s, James Goodfellow (1937－) invented the automatic teller machine (ATM) or ‘cashpoint’．”
语篇解读：本文属于说明文。主要介绍了自动取款机ATM的发明者及其背后的故事。
9．What does the underlined word “unequivocally” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A．Clearly. B．Cautiously. C．Unwillingly. D．Unbelievably.
【解析】：选A 词义猜测题。本段第一句谈到对于谁应该作为自动取款机的发明者而被正式载入史册多年
来一直有争议，结合画线词前有表示转折的连词 But 以及画线词后的“so his place in history is now
confirmed”可知，Goodfellow作为自动取款机的发明人在历史上的地位得到了确认，由此推知，英国政府
应该是“明确地”向人们宣布自动取款机的发明人是James Goodfellow。
10．What was the driving force for Goodfellow to invent the ATM?
A．His desire for money. B．His great interest.
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂C．The bank manager's help. D．The customers' need.
【解析】：选 D 细节理解题。第二段中的“Most people worked during the week and couldn't go to the
bank.They wanted a solution (解决方法)”说明，Goodfellow发明自动取款机的动力来自消费者的需求，因为
人们平时要上班，不能到银行取钱，所以需要在周末去银行取钱，于是自动取款机应运而生。
11．What can we know about Goodfellow from the last paragraph?
A．He has been in the textbook. B．He is one of the wealthiest inventors.
C．People have come to recognize him. D．He faced hardships before succeeding.
【解析】：选C 推理判断题。最后一段谈到“The good news for Goodfellow is that people are beginning to
know him for his invention”，这说明人们开始知道是他发明了自动取款机。即人们已开始认可他。
12．What is the best title for the text?
A．How was the ATM invented? B．Who invented the ATM?
C．Goodfellow got paid D．The ATM becomes popular
【解析】选B 标题归纳题。作者第一段谈到对于谁应该作为自动取款机的发明者而被正式载入史册一直有
争论，但英国政府宣布了是Goodfellow发明了自动取款机。第二段谈到了Goodfellow为何发明自动取款机，
然后谈到他虽然发明了自动取款机，但除了10英镑外并没有获得任何收益。最后一段谈到，随着自动取款
机的广泛使用，人们才慢慢知道是谁发明了它。因此，B项作为本文标题是最恰当的。
