Unit--Alienation-and-the-In ternet习题答案综合教程四————————————————————————————————作者：————————————————————————————————日期：Unit 3 Alienation and the InternetKey to the ExercisesText comprehensionI. Decide which of the following best states the author's purpose of writing.BII. Judge, according to the text, whether the following statements are true or false.1. T (Refer to Paragraph 1.)2. F (Refer to Paragraph 2. When the author says "this might sound like an apparent contradiction," he implies that this is in fact not a contradiction at all. Throughout the whole essay, the author explains the seemingly contradictory idea: on the one hand the Internet is responsible for global unification, and on the other it alienates the participants.)3. F (Refer to Paragraph 3, where the author, by saying "I have not known this fellow to be given to exaggeration?" actually means that to the best of his knowledge, this friend of his has never exaggerated anything.)4. T (Refer to Paragraph 4. At the end of this paragraph, the author argues that when people spend much time developing on-line relationships with faraway folks, they will have no time to participate in communal activities, which undermines the sense of community.)5. T (Refer to Paragraph6. In this paragraph, the author argues that when surfing the Web a person might be cognitively overloaded and that the cognitive overload might result in a distorted sense of reality.)III. A nswer the following questions.1. Refer to Paragraph 1. As the author sees it, the Internet is most likely to make our global village a better place to live in. It provides a miraculous forum for the globalization of ideas, which contributes to the realization of human potential. Furthermore, it is a powerful tool for the acquisition and application of knowledge. The benefits of the Internet, however, may be darkened by its negative consequences. It may deprive the user of his time for necessary interaction with other society members so that the whole world may be further fragmented. In addition, there is a reasonable likelihood that the Internet presents too much information, which gives the user a skewed sense of reality by making him cognitively overloaded.2. Refer to Paragraph3. His friend was addicted to the Internet. He would spend even over twenty-four hours non-stop on the Internet so that he had to force himself to go off line. As he spent so much time in cyberspace, his sense of reality might have beencrooked. Moreover, without any face-to-face verbal communication with other people, he felt lonely and depressed.3. Refer to Paragraph4. The alienation of society members had begun long before the Internet started to be used worldwide. After World War II, when the soldiers returned from the battlefields, they devoted themselves to "progress." Large quantities of cars were manufactured, which fed the creation of suburbs, and consequently people lived far apart from each. The Internet, however, has added to the problem and Internet addicts are far from rare. As illustrated by the example of the author's nephew, it seems to be an irreversible trend that more and more people, old and young, are becoming addicted to the Internet. They will spend many hours non-stop in cyberspace rather than with their families or friends. For lack of communication, they are becoming strangers to other people. Therefore, there is a good reason to believe that society is being further alienated by the Internet.4. The "cruel irony" means that the Internet provides the user with a convenient means of communicating and making friends with people far apart on the one hand, but on the other, it estranges the user from the people around him by canceling his availability for face-to-face communication even with his families and close friends and for involvement in community activities.5. Refer to Paragraphs 6 and 7. The potential of the Internet as a powerful tool for globalizing ideas and for acquiring and applying knowledge can only be realized when the user strikes a balance between reality and the Internet. Although the Internet makes it possible for the user to debate, shop, travel and have romance in cyberspace without leaving home, the overuse of this tool probably results in a distorted sense of reality. The only way to avoid being penalized by the Internet is make moderate use of this tool without losing one's sense of place in the world.IV. Explain in your own words the following sentences.1. As the Internet can be reached and used with relatively few restrictions, it plays a role in connecting people globally, which is comparable to travelling through international waterways.2. A lot of people talk about the "new information age," but not so many people are acquainted with the idea that the Internet separates people from each other and fragments society further as a result.3. I think that in our society top priority is given to the satisfaction of one's immediate needs. The Internet is the best means to achieve this purpose, for on the Internet one can do whatever he likes to.Structural analysis of the textThe three parts of the text:Part 1 (Paragraphs 1?);Part 2 (Paragraphs 3?); andPart 3 (Paragraph 7).Thesis statement: ... the Internet may be responsible for furthering the fragmentation of society by alienating its individual users.Concluding statement: All of this being said, I believe that the key to realizing the potential of the Internet is in achieving balance in our lives.Rhetorical features of the textMore antonyms: real杗ot real, reality杤irtual existence, outside playing with his friends 杙lay his games against his friends in cyberspace. The use of all these pairs of antonymous words and expressions helps to reinforce the seeming self-contradiction that the Internet can lead to globalization on the one hand and cause the alienation of the users from the people around them on the other.Vocabulary exercisesI.

Into these vehicles climbed the sick and elderly, before they headed off to safety across the river. Residents with cars were ordered to leave by midmorning.Later in the day, as the wind changed direction and it became clear that the fire would leave Sawston untouched, complaints were heard from some residents. "At no time did the fires pose a real threat," said one local man. "I didn't want to leave my home, and nor did most of my neighbours."

The largest group, the Han, makes up over 91% of China’s population. As the majority of the population is of the Han ethnic group, the other 55 ethnic groups are customarily referred to as the national minorities. The Han people can be found throughout the country, though mainly on the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, the Yangtze River and the Pearl River valleys, and the Northeast Plain. The national minorities, though fewer in number, are also widely dispersed throughout China, often inhabiting important border regions from northeast China to north, northwest and southwest China. Equality, unity and common prosperity are the fundamental principles of China’s government in handling the relations between different ethnic groups. Meanwhile, China exercises a policy of regional autonomy for various ethnic groups, allowing ethnic groups living in compact communities to establish self-government and direct their ownaffairs.•Unit TestsUnit Test - I1-5: BDADB6-10: CBACA11-15: CBDAD16-20: CDDBCUnit Test - II1-5: BCCBC（6）C. insecure （7）G. compare（8）H. influence （9）J. impact（10）L. post（11）M. surveyed （12）I. negative （13）O. participants（14）D. preoccupation（15）A. establish16-20: DCBDA21-25: CCADAU2•Textbook StudyListening1）habit of living2）profound changes3）human activities4）extinction events5）human agricultural technology 6）domesticating7）cultivate plants8）intimate knowledge9）familiar with10）human companionsText B1）spreading the word about “the crisis facing these social, sensitive, passionately intense, playful, complex, exceedingly intelligent and endangered creatures”.2）their sizes and species.3）they are quite consciously together, each pacing herself to the other’s gait and waiting for the other to catch up.4）stood vigil outside the building, knowing that her friend was inside.5）saw past the things they didn’t have in common and found in each other common ground enough•CET-Oriented StudyListening1、B2、A3、C4、D5、C6、A7、D8、AReading Comprehension（1）G（2）A（3）F（4）J（5）B（6）K（7）C（8）H（9）I（10）BParagraph Translation（翻译参考）Chinese martial arts may be traced back to prehistoric times when Chinese ancestors used stones and wooden clubs in hunting for subsistence and self-defense. It is recorded in the history that there were people specializing in martial arts during the periods of Spring and Autumn and the Warring States, and considered it as a theory to maintain good health and applied it in wars when necessary. The martial arts are either bare-handed or weapon-in-hand practice or performance according to certain sets. Generally speaking, modern martial arts consist of such five categories as boxing, weapon exercises, sparring exercises, actual combat and teamwork. The five categories can be further divided into different schools or styles.

They never think about what is meant by “work” and why they should work at all. In fact, “work” involves such qualities as wisdom, enthusiasm, imagination and creativity.To do his work well, a worker must have a spirit of dedication, and be capable of bearing hardships and standing hard work. In addition, he should have initiative and creativity. Having initiative means the worker should be ready to grasp every opportunity to display his outstanding ability.In addition, a worker should make clear the nature and significance of the work he does, be responsible for whatever he is doing and plunge himself into the work with vigorous enthusiasm. If he can do so, he will find a job no longer a burden but an indispensable part of his life. Whatever he does, he can always find values and pleasure in the work and achieve extraordinary results in otherwise ordinary work.THEME-RELATED WRITINGWrite a composition of no less than 150 words on the topic “My Career Choice”.

Personally I prefer to be a teacher.I have three reasons for my decision. The first reason is that the profession of teaching is in agreement with my personality. Being an outgoing, patient and understanding person, I think I am able to communicate with my students and understand their feelings easily, which constitutes an important factor in ensuring success in teaching. The second reason is that I am interested in the job. It would always give me great joy and satisfaction to see the happy faces of my students, to share my knowledge and life experience with them and to participate in their process of growing up. The third reason is related to my occupational attitude. I always believe that school teachers all over the world are respected for their profound knowledge and higher social status. I have always held my teachers in respect and I hope I would be respected as a teacher, too, in the future.I think teaching is an ideal career for me. Being a university student now, I will work hard to realize my dream.(198 words)。

It was in this process that the author achieved significant insight into life and herself.Rhetorical features of the text“I knew everyone would stare. Forget it. I settled into my chair and tried to assume the scientific pose of a biology major, bending slightly forward, tensing my arms in preparation for furious note-taking, and cursing under my breath”(Paragraph 5). “Keeping myself upright and getting out of the mess was not going to be easy, and this flailing of my feet was doing no good. Just as I decided to try another maneuver, my food tray tipped and I lost my balance” (Paragraph 6).
