9.After having more than a few acquaintances (熟人)online,itmight come a blow to keen social networkers like Barack Obama,or even Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg himself.
According to a research,the average person has in fact twice as many online friends as physical ones.Users of social-networking sites have on average 121online friends as compared with physical ones.The study also claims that people tend to be more open,confident and honest with their virtual friends than their"real"ones.
"For most people,the Internet is a way of keeping in touch with loved ones and friends,but for people who are isolated due to illness,it plays a more vital role,and can often act as a lifeline."says Helen Oxley,a psychologist at Wythenshawe hospital.
"People with illnesses often rely on the Internet to facilitate(促進) friendships,since they blog and use networking sites as a way of dealing with their illness.It can foster a sense of social connection for those who frequently feel isolated,which is important to psychological well-being."
In wider society,the ways in which friendships are formed are changing,with people recognizing that they can develop deep and meaningful connections with others that they've never met,and may never meet.About one in 10people has either met their best friends online,or believes they can make lifelong friends on the Web.
The findings highlight how social introductions are also changing.Only five percent would ask for someone's phone number,while 23percent are now likely to ask for an email address or a full name with the intention of adding the person to their social network.

分析 文章講述了現(xiàn)在的人們更相信虛擬的朋友,更有甚者將虛擬朋友當(dāng)成終身朋友這種現(xiàn)象及成因,還講述了家長不愿意讓孩子接觸網(wǎng)絡(luò),必受到不良影響;
解答 32.C 詞意猜測.根據(jù)第一段的After having more than a few acquaintances (相識的人) online可知,這里是指虛擬的朋友比真正的朋友還多這件事,故選C項.
33.D 推理判斷題.根據(jù)第二段中的The study also claims that people tend to be more open,confident and honest with their virtual friends than their"real"ones.可知現(xiàn)代人似乎對網(wǎng)上的虛擬朋友更開放,更信任,故選D項.
34.B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章最后一段的At the same time,however,a questionnaire completed by 4,427 suggests that 20 percent of parents believe their children's education is affected by surfing the Net.可知大約百分之二十的人認(rèn)為上網(wǎng)會影響孩子的教育,故選B項.
35.A 推理判斷題.文章的最后一段主要介紹父母們不同意孩子們接觸網(wǎng)絡(luò),和孩子的功課會受網(wǎng)絡(luò)影響,由此推斷文章往下應(yīng)繼續(xù)討論孩子的教育與網(wǎng)絡(luò)的問題,故選A項.
點評 本文是一個社會文化類閱讀,題目涉及多道細(xì)節(jié)理解題,做題時結(jié)合原文和題目有針對性的找出相關(guān)語句進行仔細(xì)分析,結(jié)合選項選出正確答案.推理判斷題也是要在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上合理的分析才能得出正確答案,切忌胡亂猜測,一定要做到有理有據(jù).
