Question

I was not content with the time I was wasting—I felt I could do more purposeful things than spend it on the Internet. If there is something I want to research on the Internet.

【3】 I log on (登錄) to watch some videos or laugh at funny pictures, but I go on the Internet with the intention of doing these things. Whenever I’m on the Internet now, I use it in a deliberate way, a way that benefits me and my life, and a way that adds value.

【4】 I could focus on writing without being disturbed. I have more time to read, to write, to think, to exercise and to walk. Because I’ m out of the house and there are people around.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】G

【2】C

【3】B

【4】E

【5】A

【解析】

這是一篇記敘文。作者原來在互聯(lián)網上花費大量時間看視頻和搞笑圖片，現(xiàn)在他只在需要時才有目的地上網，這使他能出去做很多其它事，也叫他更能集中注意力，他認為生活變得更好了。

【1】設空句的前一句為I have lived that way. 我一直用這種方式生活。接著應該是評價他不再在家上網的意義。設空句的下文分幾段詳細講述了這種改變和改變帶來的好處以及改變能夠避免的問題。選項G這最終成為我做過的最有成效、最明智的決定。既是承接上句，也能引啟下文，切題，故選G。

【2】由上文Earlier this year I removed all Internet services from my home可知，作者家里不再有互聯(lián)網了，所以他必須要上網時，他要找到能上網的地方，由下文I’ll go to the office, the library, the coffee shop, or some other place with free public Wi-Fi, and work on what I need to do online.可知，這些辦公室、咖啡店或其它一些能公共免費上網的地方，不是他家里，他要先離開家，再到這些地方，選項C現(xiàn)在我被迫離開家去找到能上網的地方。切題，故選C。

【3】設空句為段首句，引領段落，應該符合段落大意。由I use it in a deliberate way, a way that benefits me and my life, and a way that adds value.可知，這段的大意是作者只把互聯(lián)網當作一種能對自己和自己生活產生有利影響的方式，一種能增加價值的方式。把互聯(lián)網不利的一面給排除了。選項B現(xiàn)在互聯(lián)網是用來提高我生活的一種工具。切題，故選B。

【4】設空句后的I could focus on writing without being disturbed. I have more time to read, to write, to think, to exercise and to walk.是作者不再在家里上網后的有益的各種變化，選項E自從我不在家里上網，我發(fā)現(xiàn)了很多好處。能夠引啟下文，切題，故選E。

【5】設空句后的Plus，說明是對設空句所述內容的增加。意為：我不再像以前那樣渴望上網了。選項A我不再有每月的互聯(lián)網帳單。選項A與它的下一句都是不在家上網，不會發(fā)生的事，上下文語境一致，切題，故選A。

七選五題目中要利用上下文中相關詞匯的線索，幫助確定答案。第5小題的設空句的下一句開頭的plus意為“也，還有”，就給了很好的解題線索，說明設空句與這一句是同一性質的內容，這一句是在設空句的基礎上又多的一種情況，只要搞明白這一句語義，這一句語義是：我不再像以前那樣渴望上網了。七個選項中只有選項A也是具有否定意義的句子，可以照此找到答案A。
