译文：

团结起来力量大：互联网如何改变了我们

关于万维网奇妙之处的著述浩如烟海。讲述互联网如何使我们的生活变得更加方便的文章数不胜数。

购物的时候，我们不再需要排队等候，也不需要随身携带现金。我们可以从大型数据库中获得最新的信息。

在任何需要的时候，我们可以下载软件、文档和图片。然而，互联网为人们做的事情还很多，并不仅仅是

让生活变得更加方便而已。在线社区和社交网络已改变了人们的生活。

英国伯明翰的一位英语教师简・夏曼尼突然身患重病，被迫辞去工作。50岁时，她发觉自己失业了，困

在家里，只有电脑相伴。过了一阵子，她发现上网可以帮助她减轻孤独和无聊。她可以听音乐，看电影,

玩游戏，探索世界。她还加入了一个在线群组；在群里，她可以谈论自己的问题，获得其他人的支持和建

议。她意识到互联网的最大好处之一就是能够消除通常存在于人和人之间的距离感。

她受到网友的启发，决定成立一个IT俱乐部来教年长一些的人们学习使用电脑和互联网。如今，她与

朋友们一起组织各种活动，并为（俱乐部）私人教师的工资筹集资金。许多人得到了俱乐部的帮助。一位59

岁的男子学会了如何在网上申请工作，而且找到了一份不错的工作。由于他有事情可做，并能够照顾好自

己，他的女儿就有时间上大学了。一位61岁的独居妇女与两位朋友一起创办了一家小型网络公司。她不再

感到孤独，而且她的公司也相当成功。

简开始参加网络课程，更多地学习如何利用互联网让社会变得更加美好。她认为，消除数字鸿沟、确保

每个人都能使用互联网并且知晓如何运用新技术，是非常重要的。她的下一个目标是创建一个慈善网站，

为贫穷国家的儿童募捐。

简的生活因互联网而得到了极大的改善。“当你身处逆境时，你会遇到面临相似挑战的人。”简说道，”想

到别人的处境，我就会受到激励，伸出援助之手。”

写一个博客

今天，我想写篇博客谈谈论一个多次被问到的问题一一如何才能安全上网，避免在互联网上遇到不愉

快呢？我并非专家，但身为博主多年，我已学会了一两招。

首先，互联网的黄金法则是：如果你所见所读让你反感，立即推出该网站。不要发表评论，也不要点

击任何东西。其次，保护你的隐私。不要透露你的地址或电话号码。有人可能会利用这些信息来窃取你的

身份。身份盗窃是一个普遍而严重的问题。最后，要有礼貌。上网不是行为粗鲁的借口，而且你也不想成

为网络挑事者或网络恶霸的目标。网络挑事者就是在网上张贴评论或问题以挑起事端的人。为了长期待在

一个网站上，网络挑事者经常使用多个假名。网络恶霸使用互联网欺负别人。与网络挑事者一样，网络恶

霸也会写一些恶意的东西，但通常是针对特定的人。网络恶霸也可能在网上发一些照片和信息，让这些人

感到尴尬。然而，你越有礼貌，你被攻击的可能性就越小。

你在网上有任何不愉快的经历吗？或是你有什么安全上网的好建议？请在下面发表你的评论！

男孩579：去年，我们聊天室出了点问题。有个我们不认识的人发了一些恶意的评论。我觉得这家伙

是想捣乱。

艾米：我们学校的一个女孩在网上有过一段不愉快经历。她的一张照片被传到网上，被人嘲弄。刚

开始虽然像是在开玩笑，但是这个女生十分不快。

【答案】61.D62.A63.B64.B

【解析】

这是一篇议论文。文章讲述了对信息技术的过分迷恋会对国家，对个人，对慈善事业造成不利的影响。

[61题详解】

therelativelong-termcostsandbenefitsofalternativeusesoftheirmoney.可知，与其给那些贫困地区孩子笔记

本电脑或者建网络中心，还不如给钱打井，铺电网或者生产他们买得起的洗衣机，这些东西更能改善他们

的生活。作者不是说这些东西一定更重要，但是很多捐赠者没有仔细考虑捐赠的东西的长期成本，因此作

者建议捐赠者要考虑接受捐赠的人的实际情况，而不是一味地追求信息化，故选A。

[63题详解】

细节理解题。根据第五段内容可知，对新东西的迷恋让人们认为如今通讯技术和交通的变革让我们生活在

一个无国界的世界，正是认为我们生活在这样一个世界，很多政府取消了关于跨国界的资本、劳动力以及

商品流动的法律法规，故选B。
