五、阅读理解。
The Internet has changed the world. People are able to get and share information in
seconds. Nowadays, people begin to wonder: Is the Internet good or bad? "It's impossible to
answer that question because the Internet is so many things," says psychologist(心理学家)
Patricia Greenfield.
Some are truly wonderful. In many ways it makes life easier and simpler. It helps us get
things done more quickly. It opens up the world to us. And if a friend lives far away, the
Internet makes it easy to stay in touch.
However, the issue(话题) isn't black and white. Some can become real problems if we
don't take care. Spending too much time online is harmful to people's health. It may even cause
them to be less social with family and friends. Apart from(除……之外) that, some people
attack the web or use the Internet to steal others' personal information, even banking
information. Most of the young students think the Internet is simply an icon on the screen.
Kids won't realize that the Internet is a network of millions of computers until about 10
years old.
The Internet can be a useful tool, but don't let it take up all of your time. Use the Internet
properly(适当地) and carefully and it can make your life more colourful.

【分析】
首先通读全文，明确本文核心讨论互联网的利弊，倡导合理使用互联网的主旨。解题时先逐个对应题干定位原文位置：第1题找到Patricia的发言上下文，前文提出“互联网是好是坏”的疑问，后文分别展开互联网的优势和存在的问题，即可推断这句话的含义；第2题先理解划线句“话题并非非黑即白”的表意，再逐一匹配四个选项的谚语含义即可选出同义项；第3题结合文章结尾段的核心观点，排除前文已经论述过的内容、不符合作者态度的选项，就能推断出下文最可能讲述的内容。
【解析】
1. 定位原文第一段，人们提出疑问“互联网是好是坏”，Patricia表示这个问题无法简单回答，紧接着第二段列举了互联网给生活带来的诸多便利优势，第三段转而介绍过度上网、信息泄露等互联网的弊端，说明互联网同时存在优点和缺点，因此选B。选项A文中未提及互联网难以掌握，C、D都只单方面强调优势或劣势，不符合原文表述。
2. 划线部分“the issue isn't black and white”直译为“这个话题不是非黑即白的”，含义是不能简单判定互联网完全好或者完全坏，任何事物都有两面性。逐一辨析选项：A选项“Accidents will happen”意为天有不测风云；B选项“Actions speak louder than words”意为行动胜于言语；C选项“Every coin has two sides”意为凡事都有两面性；D选项“A good beginning makes a good ending”意为善始才有善终，因此选C。
3. 文章第二段已经完整论述了互联网的优势，第三段也介绍了互联网的各类弊端，结尾段点明核心观点：互联网是有用的工具，需要恰当、谨慎地使用才能让生活更美好，因此下文最可能展开介绍如何明智地使用互联网。选项A、B都是前文已经论述过的内容，选项C“停止使用互联网”完全不符合作者的态度，因此选D。
