Answer 1

分析 文章介紹了社交網(wǎng)絡(luò)在美國50歲以上的人中變得越來越流行，很多人都是通過社交網(wǎng)絡(luò)來和親人、朋友聯(lián)系，通過它來了解社會的進(jìn)步．同時，盡管社交網(wǎng)站也很流行，老年人也仍然喜歡看報紙和雜志．

解答 25．C．主旨大意題．根據(jù)第一、第二段，在美國最新的數(shù)據(jù)表明，越來越多的社交網(wǎng)絡(luò)成為了50多歲人生活的一部分及后文可知，本文主要內(nèi)容是講社交網(wǎng)絡(luò)在美國老年人中越來越流行，故選C．
26．B．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第三段第一句Nearly a quarter of older Americans are on Facebook and 73 percent said they use it to stay in touch with relatives幾乎四分之一的米國老年人使用Facebook，其中73%的人說他們使用它來和親戚保持聯(lián)系．由第五段第一句，這個調(diào)查結(jié)果是基于1863名成年人做的電話調(diào)查，可知1863名調(diào)查者的四分之一即大約為460名老年人使用Facebook，故選B．文章中并沒有提到85%的超過50歲的人選擇因特網(wǎng)，排除A．C中意思相反，應(yīng)為20%的50多歲的人不用因特網(wǎng)．D中應(yīng)為50%的老人是通過家人介紹知道因特網(wǎng)的，而并非75%．排除D．故選B．
27．A．推理判斷題．根據(jù)More than 25 percent of Americans 50 years and older stay connected using sites such as Facebook，MySpace and Twitter，according to new research．以及文章內(nèi)容可知，許多上了年紀(jì)的美國人對新的發(fā)展持開放態(tài)度．故選A．
28．B．推理判斷題．利用排除法，A首先排除．文章并未介紹科學(xué)技術(shù)，所以技術(shù)指南排除．學(xué)生研究論文亦排除，故選B最好，來源于報紙新聞．故選B．

點(diǎn)評 本文是一篇社會文化類閱讀，題目涉及多道主旨大意題，細(xì)節(jié)理解題，推理判斷題．做題時學(xué)生應(yīng)仔細(xì)閱讀原文，把握文章主要內(nèi)容，聯(lián)系文章上下文內(nèi)容并結(jié)合所給選項含義，從中選出正確答案，一定要做到有理有據(jù)，切忌胡亂猜測．
