Question

高考阅读理解求助英语高手！！！！

The internet will open up new vistas (前景), create the global village -- you can make new friends all around the world. That, at least, is what it promised us. The difficulty is that it did not take the human mind into account. The reality is that we cannot keep relationships with more than a limited number of people. No matter how hard the internet tries to put you in communication, its best efforts will be defeated by your mind.
The problem is twofold (双重的). First, there is a limit on the number of people we can hold in mind and have a meaningful relationship with. That number is about 150 and is set by the size of our brain. Second, the quality of your relationships depends on the amount of time you invest (投入) in them. We invest a lot in a small number of people and then distribute what's left among as many others as we can. The problem is that if we invest little time in a person, our engagement with that person will decline (减弱) until eventually it dies into "someone I once knew".
This is not, of course, to say that the internet doesn't serve a socially valuable function. Of course it does. But the question is not that it allows you to increase the size of your social circle to include the rest of the world, but that you can keep your relationships with your existing friends going even though you have to more to the other side of the world.
In one sense, that's a good thing. But it also has a disadvantage. If you continue to invest in your old friends even though you can no longer see then, then certainly you aren't using your time to make new friends where you now live. And I suspect that probably isn't the best use of your time. Meaningful relationships are about being able to communicate with each other, face to face. The internet will slow down the rate with which relationships end, but it won't stop that happening eventually.

74题为什么选A不选C？倒数第二段第三句But the question is not that it allows you to increase the size of your social circle to include the rest of the world 不是应该选C吗？
75题为什么选D不选B？第一段的That,at least, is what it promised us. 不就证明他是hopeful吗？

Answer 1

74题：开篇提出That, at least, is what it promised us. The difficulty is that it did not take the human mind into account……这至少是我们曾经预期的结果，但是它没有考虑到人的大脑局限等，所以并不像曾经预期的那样好，C项中，原句But the question is not that it allows you to increase the size of your social circle to include the rest of the world……but that……强调第二个that后面的内容并不能代表整篇文章作者的观点。
75题：这里的at least 表示让步，缓和语气，且用了过去式，表示这只是它过去给我们的希望，前景，它存在困难The difficulty is that …且无论怎么努力，其作用都会因人的大脑而局限（No matter how hard the internet tries to put you in communication, its best efforts will be defeated by your mind）
个人见解，希望能帮到你~

追问

那75题为什么不能选A呢？

追答

同上，也想这么说，差别真不大，但doubt直接表示怀疑，质疑（算否定的），而uncertain是不确定，可以是好的，也可以是坏的一面（算中性的），大概如此，表示我尽力了……

Answer 2

个人认为74题不选C是因为在But the question is not that it allows you to increase the size of your social circle to include the rest of the world 这句话之后，后文阐述了网络的缺点，如果你继续投资于你的老朋友，那么你一定没有用你的时间去结交新朋友，那么你的社交圈子就会缩小。所以74题应该选A。
75题是同样道理，文章写网络既有利也有弊，所以不能一味肯定或者否定，一般应该是中立的态度，所以75题应该选D。

希望对你有帮助！

追问

先要谢谢你的回答！^^ 那如果是中立态度，75题为什么不能选A呀？

追答

其实我认为A和D的意思很相近，这个真的不好说。就像这道题一样的阅读题我认为出的不是很好，真的有点模棱两可，你就看老师的意思吧，很抱歉这个真的帮不了你。

追问

我好喜欢你！！好欣赏你的坦诚啊啊啊啊！！非常非常非常谢谢你！！！^。^

Answer 3

互联网将开辟新的前景（前景），创建全球村——你可以结交新的朋友，世界各地的。这，至少，是它给我们。困难的是，它不以人类意识到。现实情况是，我们不能超过一定数量的人保持关系。不管如何努力，试图把你的通信网络，其努力将你打败。

问题是双重的（双重的）。第一，是有限制的人的数目可以记住和有意义的关系。这个数字大约是150，是由大脑的大小。第二，你人际关系的质量取决于你的时间投资在他们（投入）。我们投入了很多的少数人，然后把剩下的在很多其他的可以。问题是，如果我们投资于一个人的时间很少，我们与人交往将下降（减弱）直到它死为“一个我曾经认识的”。

这不，当然，说互联网并不服务于社会的价值功能。当然了。但问题不在于它允许你增加你的社交圈子的大小将其余的世界，但是，你可以与你现有的朋友去你即使有更多的对世界的另一边，让你的人际关系。

在某种意义上，这是一件好事。但它也有一个缺点。如果你继续投资于你的老朋友，即使你不再能看到的话，那么你一定没有用你的时间去结交新朋友你现在住的地方。我怀疑可能不充分利用自己的时间。有意义的关系是能够互相沟通，面对面。互联网会慢下来，率关系的结束，但它不会阻止这种情况的发生最终。

74。根据旅客，作者认为that____。

A.互联网未能发挥它承诺在通信一个如此有价值的作用

B.网络决定了社会关系的质量

C.互联网大大增加社交圈的大小

D.互联网通信是不有效比

面对面的交谈

75。作者对互联网的使用来加强人际关系的态度是什么？

他是不知道它。他希望它。

他赞同它。他很怀疑。

Answer 4

74题问的是文章的主要观点，C并非主要观点，通篇就是想说明网络并不是像人们想象的那样能有利于沟通。
75当然应该D，你看最后一段的“And I suspect that probably isn't the best use of your time”
