原文呈现

CLICK FOR A FRIEND?

1 How would you feel if moving to a new town meant① losing track of② your friends? What if the only way of getting news from faraway friends was writing letters that took ages to be delivered【1】？This was how things worked not very long ago【2】.Thanks to③ advances④ in technology，how we make friends and communicate with them has changed significantly⑤.

【1】此处为What if...句式，意为“要是……会怎么样？”；其中that引导定语从句，修饰先行词letters。

【2】句中how引导表语从句，并在从句中作方式状语。

2 Nowadays，we can move around the world and still stay in touch with the people that we want to remain⑥ friends with. Social media tools let us see what our friends are up to⑦ and maintain friendships【3】.All you need is a wi-fi connection.

【3】本句中and连接两个并列的非谓语动词see和maintain；其中 what our friends are up to为what引导的宾语从句，what在从句中作宾语。

3 The digital age⑧ also enables⑨ us to find people who share our interests，such as collecting model cars or playing an unusual⑩ instrument⑪.Whatever our hobbies，the Internet can connect us with⑫ others who also enjoy doing them，even if they live on the other side of the world.

4 But when you “friend⑬” people online，does this mean that they really are your friends?

5 It depends⑭.

6 If people always exchange⑮ true personal information online，then yes，these friendships can be real and meaningful⑯.But we need to keep in mind⑰ that what we see on social media is often not the whole truth about a person【4】.

【4】本句中that what we...about a person为宾语从句，作keep的宾语，因宾语太长，故将宾语后置；其中what we see on social media为what引导的主语从句，what在从句中作see的宾语。

7 On social media sites，people tend to⑱ post⑲ only positive updates that make them appear happy and friendly.But smiling photos⑳ can hide real problems.Remember the saying：on the Internet，nobody knows you’re a dog.A young person could be old; a woman could be a man; we could even be sharing our information with criminals.

8 But this doesn’t mean that we should throw the baby out with the bathwater.Although technology has changed the way we acquire friends，the meaning of friendship and our longing for friends remain the same【5】.As Aristotle said，no one would choose to live without friends，even if he had all other goods.

【5】本句中Although引导让步状语从句；其中we acquire friends为省略了关系词that或in which的定语从句，修饰先行词the way。

Step Ⅳ　Post-reading—Please fill in the following blanks after reading the passage.

Nowadays，we can move around the world and still stay in touch with 1.the people that we want to remain friends with.Social media tools let us see what our friends are up 2.to and maintain friendships.All we need is a wi-fi 3.connection (connect).The digital age also 4.enables (able) us to find people who share our 5.interests (interest).But when you “friend” people online，does this mean that they 6.really (real) are your friends?

【语篇解读】　本文是说明文。介绍了什么是真正的朋友。

1.called　[考查过去分词。The people与call在逻辑上是被动关系，所以填过去分词called。]

2.friends　[考查名词的数。由名词前的these可知此处应当用其复数形式。]

3.older　[考查形容词比较级。根据than可知此处应填形容词比较级。故填older。]

4.for　[考查介词。句意：在我看来，最好的朋友是那些因为你是谁而爱你的人，并帮助你成为你应该成为的人。for“因为”。根据句意，故填for。]

5.who　[考查定语从句。分析句子可知，先行词是those，who引导的是定语从句，且在从句中作主语。故填who。]

6.yourself　[考查反身代词。句意：他们总是在那儿等你，当你忘记爱自己时，他们也在关心爱护着你。当主语与宾语指同一个人时，宾语用反身代词。故填yourself。]

7.a　[考查冠词。person为可数名词，且首字母为辅音音素，根据句意，表示泛指，所以填a来表示泛指。故填a。]

8.necessarily　[考查副词。句意：友谊不一定要基于年龄，而是基于理解。副词necessarily修饰动词短语be based on。故填necessarily。]

9.understanding　[考查动名词。句意：友谊不一定要基于年龄，而是基于理解。on为介词，后接名词作宾语。故填understanding。]

10.to see　[考查动词不定式。try one’s best to do sth“努力做某事”。故填to see。]
