FINDING FRIENDS ONLINE

What are the differences between online and real-life relationships?

In many ways, the Internet world mirrors the real world. Some people ask for information, play games, and share hobby tips. Some buy and sell products. Others look for _________ .

Unlike the real world, however, your knowledge about a person is limited to words___ . There, a person’s thoughts-or at least the thoughts they type-are what really count（算数）. So even the __________ person can become a chat room star.

Usually, this“faceless”communication doesn’t cause trouble. Who you are doesn’t really matter when you are in a chat room, discussing sports or hobbies. In fact, people______________what you think about. This makes the Internet a great place for exciting conversation. Where else can so many people come together to chat about their interests?

But some Internet users want more than just someone to chat with. They are looking for serious love relationships. Is the Internet a good place to find love? Some of these relationships are actually successful. Others fail painfully.

Supporters of online relationships say that the Internet allows couples to get to know each other by exchanging ideas first. Your______________ isn’t so important as that in the real world.

But others of online relationships ______that no one can truly know another person in the Internet world. Why? Because the Internet gives users a lot of control over how others view them. The Internet users can carefully choose their words to fit whatever image they want to give. In fact, they’re not really themselves.

现在互联网已进入了千家万户，有人在网上咨询信息、玩游戏、分享爱好，有的人买卖产品，还有的人在网上找朋友。短文中介绍了在网上找朋友时应注意的问题，并列出了对网上交友的两种不同看法。

【1】句意：其他人寻找友谊。

考查名词辨析及语境。money钱；friendship友谊；fun 娱乐，乐趣；news新闻，消息。根据短文的题目FINDING FRIENDS ONLINE以及下文的介绍可知，短文主要谈论的是网上交友这一话题，因此这里应是此话题。故选B。

【2】句意：然而，与现实世界不同的是，你对一个人的了解仅限于屏幕上的文字。

考查介词短语辨析及语境。on a screen在屏幕上；in a book在书中；in a newspaper在报纸上；on TV在电视上。根据上文 “In many ways, the Internet world mirrors the real world.”可知，文章说的是网上交友，所以了解一个人是通过屏幕上的文字。故选A。

【3】句意：所以即使是最害羞的人也可以成为聊天室的明星。

考查形容词最高级辨析及语境。cleverest最聪明的；funniest最有趣的；strongest最强壮的；shyest最害羞的。根据上句话 “There, a person’s thoughts-or at least the thoughts they type-are what really count”可知，在网上，一个人的想法是最重要的，这个人在现实世界里的性格并不是那么重要，所以最害羞、内向的人在网上也可能成为聊天室里的明星，用shyest体现出现实与虚拟的反差。故选D。

【4】句意：事实上，人们关注的是你所想的。

考查动词短语辨析及语境。laugh at嘲笑；are proud of为……自豪；focus on关注，集中于；are satisfied with对……感到满意。根据上文 “There, a person’s thoughts-or at least the thoughts they type-are what really count”可知，在网上，一个人的想法是最重要的，所以人们关注的是你的想法。故选C。

【5】句意：你的外表并没有像在现实世界中那么重要。

考查名词辨析及语境。appearance外表，外面；education教育；job工作；interest兴趣。根据上句话 “Supporters of online relationships say that the Internet allows couples to get to know each other by exchanging ideas first.”可知，网上的情侣们通过交换想法来了解彼此，不像现实世界中，外貌很重要。故选A。

【6】句意：但也有人认为，在网络世界里，没有人能真正了解另一个人。

考查动词辨析及语境。understand理解；care关心，在意；argue争论，辩论；wonder想知道。根据句意可知，这里介绍的是与上一段不同的一个观点，故用argue。故选C。

这篇短文给我们介绍了网上交友需要注意的事项以及人们对此事的不同看法。文章是议论文，短文主题明确，层次清晰，易于了解大意。题型是完型填空，考查学生们在具体语境中运用语言的能力，综合性较强。做题时，应先通读短文，了解文章大意；然后根据上下文语境做题，注意空前后的搭配，并仔细辨析选项中单词的意思和用法；最后将答案代入原文，再读一遍，检查答案是否正确。例如第2小题，考查介词短语辨析及语境。on a screen在屏幕上；in a book在书中；in a newspaper在报纸上；on TV在电视上。根据上文 “In many ways, the Internet world mirrors the real world.”可知，文章说的是网上交友，所以了解一个人是通过屏幕上的文字。故选A。再如第4小题，考查动词短语辨析及语境。laugh at嘲笑；are proud of为……自豪；focus on关注，集中于；are satisfied with对……感到满意。根据上文 “There, a person’s thoughts-or at least the thoughts they type-are what really count”可知，在网上，一个人的想法是最重要的，所以人们关注的是你的想法。故选C。
