问题 单项选择题

网络在提供便捷信息的同时,也让人们在一步步退化和“堕落”。人们日渐丧失了阅读长文章的能力,不管是在网上,还是在纸上。当然,用惯了Google的人肯定会辩护说,在线阅读会提高人们的阅读效率,但真实情况是怎样的呢伦敦大学花了5年时间研究线上大英图书馆的读者,发现读者总是忙于一篇又一篇地浏览,却极少细看访问过的文章。他们打开一篇文章或一本书,通常读上一两页,便“蹦”到别处去了。报告说:“很明显,网络阅读让人们读得更多,却读得更浅。人们上网正是为了回避传统意义上的阅读。”
这段文字意在说明( )。

A.网络使我们步入了信息社会,但也会造成信息泛滥

B.传统阅读比网络阅读更有韵味和深度,我们不应回避

C.网络容易分散人们的注意力,会影响网络阅读效率

D.网络阅读使人读得更浅,并不能真正提高阅读效率

答案

参考答案:D

解析: 这段文字论述的重点是网络阅读的弊端,A项强调的是“信息”,B项强调的是“传统阅读”,均不是文段重点,故排除A、B。C项只提到了网络阅读的效率,没有提到网络阅读的深度,不如D项完整准确。故本题答案选D。

The fourth of July marks the anniversary of America’s Declaration of Independence from Britain. During the summer of 1776, American colonists were deeply divided. Almost one in three was loyal to Britain. Yet most were increasingly angry about what they considered unfair treatment by the British government. By June, fighting had already taken place between colonial forces and Britain. The idea of independence was spreading.

Delegates (代表) from the thirteen colonies gathered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Continental Congress decided that a document declaring separation from Britain should be declared. Thomas Jefferson led a committee chosen to write it.

On July 4th, 1776, the Continental Congress voted to approve the Declaration of Independence. It says that people have the right to change their government if it denies them their rights. It states that everyone has the right to life, liberty and the pursuit (追求) of happiness.

Today, the Fourth of July holiday is a time for friends and families to gather. They might play sports and eat hot dogs, hamburgers and other foods cooked outdoors. They might watch a parade in their community. At night, many people gather to watch fireworks bursting in the dark sky.

In Washington, D. C. this year (2011), thousands of people attended a concert with performances by musicians. There was also a huge fireworks show with more than two thousand five hundred shells exploding over the National Mall.

Another event that traditionally took place on the National Mall was the Smithsonian Folk life Festival. This year’s event celebrated the cultures of Mexico and Asian Pacific Americans. Visitors heard the music, eat the food and learn about the many traditions of these cultures.

The third subject of the festival was called “Smithsonian Inside Out”. Smithsonian experts had a chance to present their research and knowledge to the public.
