Life Connected with Computer
After too long on the Net,even a phone call can be a shock.My boyfriend's Liverpudlian accent sud-
denly becomes indecipherable after the clarity of his words on screen,a secretary's tone seems more rejecting
than I'd imagined it would be.Time itself becomes fluid一hours become minutes,and alternately seconds
stretch into days.Weekends,once a highlight of my week,are now just two ordinary days.
For the last three years,since I stopped working as a producer for Charlie Rose,I have done much of my
work as a telecommuter. I submit articles and edit them via E-mail and communicate with colleagues on In-
ternet mailing lists.My boyfriend lives in England,so much of our relationship is computer-mediated.
If I desired,I could stay inside for weeks without wanting anything.I can order food,and manage my
money,love and work.In fact,at times I have spent as long as three weeks alone at home,going out only to
get mail and buy newspapers and groceries.I watched most of the blizzard of 96 on TV.
But after a while,life itself begins to feel unreal.I start to feel as though I've merged with my ma-
chines,taking data in,spitting them back out,just another node on the Net.Others on line report the same
symptoms.We start to strongly dislike the outside forms of socializing. It's like attending an A.A.meeting in
a bar with everyone holding a half-sipped drink.We have become the Net Opponents' worst nightmare.
What first seemed like a luxury,crawling from bed to computer,not worrying about hair,and clothes and
face,has become an avoidance,a lack of discipline.And once you start replacing real human contact with cy-
ber-interaction,coming back out of the cave can be quite difficult.
At times,I turn on the television and just leave it to chatter in the background,something that I'd never
done previously.The voices of the programs soothe me,but then I'm jarred by the commercials.I find myself
sucked in by soap operas,or compulsively needing to keep up with the latest news and the weather."Date-
line,""Frontline,""Nightline,"CNN,NewYork 1,every possible angle of every story over and over,even
when they are of no possible use to me.
Work moves from foreground to background.
选项
The phrase"coming back out of the cave"in the fifth paragraph means_________.
A:coming back home
B:going back home
C:living a luxurious life
D:restoring direct human contact
答案
D
解析
本题为词义理解题。在文章第一段第二句话“My boyfriend' s Liverpudlian accent sud- denly becomes indecipherable after the clarity of his words on screen;a secretary's tone seems more rejecting than I' d imagined it would be.”根据句子的意思可知,indecipherable和clarity意思是 相对的,意思为“不可辨认的”,选项A与之匹配。
本题为推理判断题。根据文章第二段最后一句话“My boyfriend lives in England, so much of our relationship is computer-mediated.”可知,作者男朋友在英国;第六段最后一句“… CNN,New York 1,every possible angle of every story over and over,even when they are of no possi- ble use to me.Work moves from foreground to background.”可知,作者看的都是在美国播放的节 目,说明作者在美国,故二人不在同一国家。
文章中最后一段提到作者有时会打开电视,因为电视节目的声音使她感到安慰(Thevoices of the programs soothe me)。
本题为事实推理判断题。根据文章第一段提到的“Time itself becomes fluid一hours be-come minutes , and alternately seconds stretch into days.";第五段提到的“And once you start repla-cing real human contact with cyber-interaction(网上交流),coming back out of the cave can be quite difficult.";最后一段提到的“At timnes, I turn on the television and just leave it to chatter inthe background,something that I'd never done previously.The voices of the programs soothe(安慰) me , but then I' m jarred(使感不快)by the commnercials.”可以推断出作者对计算机由喜欢到讨厌转变的过程。故C为正确答案。
该短语出现的整个句子是:"And once you start replacing real human contact with cyber-interaction , coming back out of the cave can he quite difficult.”并且一旦你着手用电脑交际取代 人与人之间的真正接触,再从洞穴里钻出来会是十分困难的。有了电脑不出门也可以做许多 事,于是你的家也就成了与世隔绝的洞穴。因此从洞穴里钻出来(coming back out of the cave)是指“恢复人与人之间的直接接触”(restoring direct human contact),所以D是正确答案。
