【答案】1.C2.B3.D
【解析】
本文是一篇议论文。
文章就基于因特网的交流是否有益于我们的人生展开了讨论。
尽管对于基于因特网的交流有很多反对声音,但是作者认为基于因特网的交流对于那些被孤立或缺乏人与人之间直面交流的人来说确实很重要。
【1题详解】
句意猜测题。
根据第一段中的Forinstance,astudyshowedthatchildrenwhohadbeenspendingtimewithtelevisionandcomputersforalongperiodoftimeweresignificantlyworseatrecognizingnonverbal(非语言的)psychologicalsuggestionsinaconversation一句可知研究表明长时间与电视和电脑打交道的孩子在交谈中识别心理暗示方面很明显表现更糟糕。
这一句是举例验证划线句子,由此我们可以推知这些电子设备让面对面的交流不那么有效。
故C项正确。
【2题详解】
推理判断题。
根据第五段中的Themajorgoodaspectofonlineinteractionscomparedtoin-persononesisthatsocialnetworkallowuserstointeractwithsomanypeopleatonce.一句可知在线交流好的一面就是社交网络可以让使用者一次与多人交流。
也就是说,社交网络可以提高交流的效率。
B.Communicationefficiencywillbeimproved.交流效率得到了提高,为正确选项。
故B项正确。
【3题详解】
根据最后一段中的Butforthosewhodon’thavestrongin-personsupportgroups,thevalueofonlinecommunitiesshouldn’tbedismissed.一句可知对于缺乏足够与人直面交流的人来说,在线交流的价值是不能被忽视的。
由此可知,作者认为在线交流对有些人来说是有价值的。
故D项正确。
B
