    More than two-thirds of adults support the shutdown of social networks during periods of social
    unrest such as the riots (暴乱) in England this summer, new research has shown.
    A survey of 973 adults carried out for the online security firm Unisys found 70% of adults supported
    the shutdown of Twitter, Facebook and BlackBerry Messenger (BBM), while only 27% disagreed.
    Three-quarters agreed that governments should have open access to data on social network users in
    order to prevent relevant (相应的) crime. Support for action against social networks was strongest
    among over-65s and weakest among 18 to 24-year-olds, who are the heaviest users of the online
    services.
    Several people were accused of attempting to start disturbances (骚动) using Facebook during the
    outbreak of rioting across England in August. The court recently refused a request o lower the sentences
    of two people sent to prison for four years for attempting to arrange riots on the social media site, despite
    them not leading to any disturbances.
    Analysis bythe Guardianfound little evidence to support claims the network had been used to set
    off unrest. However, the BBM network was believed to have played a role in organizing disturbances.
    It's very worrying that people would believe shutting down social networks would be worth. The vast
    majority of social network use during the unrest was people spreading information and helping each other
    get home safely. These kinds of actions would weaken the UK's position against authoritarian regimes (独裁政权). As we live more of our lives online, people should be conscious of the amount of power they're probably handing over to government.
    Jonathan Polanyi, a lawyer in criminal law and member of the Bar Council's IT Committee, said
    developments across 2011 suggested the UK's legal system was failing to keep pace with technological
    change.
    "We've seen discussions about libel (诽谤) and super-forbidden on Twitter; the use of social
    networking to coordinate civil unrest in UK cities and a series of high profile attacks on well-known
    companies which have led to loss of data," he said. "It is important that the law quickly develops to deal
    with issues related to new technology."
    1. Which of the following person probably most agree with against social networks?
    A. A girl aged 10.
    B. An 18-year-old boy.
    C. A young woman of 24.
    D. An old man of 66.
    2. Two people were sentenced to prison for four years because they             .
    A. were against the social networks
    B. attempted to plan riots on the social media site
    C. led to some disturbance to the social media site
    D. started disturbances using Facebook and Twitter
    3. What is analyzed by the Guardian proved that               .
    A. the network had nothing to do with unrest
    B. the BBM network organized disturbances
    C. shutting down social networks would be desirable
    D. 70% of adults supported the shutdown of the network
    4. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?
    A. The UK's legal system should be changed completely.
    B. The law associated with new technology should be progressed.
    C. Twitter has led to loss of data and should be accused.
    D. Some well-known companies were attacked by Twitter.

等考点的理解。关于这些考点您可以点击下面的选项卡查看详细档案。
  • 政治经济类阅读

政治经济类文章的概念:

要做好这类阅读,平时就要注意了解国内外发生的政治经济大事,掌握一定背景知识,对这类文章的叙述特点及内容安排有一定了解,还要扩展这方面的词汇。阅读这类文章,要抓住文章的核心,即文章整体和各段主要在说什么,也要注意段落之间的逻辑关系。


如何备考政治经济类阅读理解题:

【题型说明】政治经济类阅读文章是高考常选材料之一。该类文章时代气息浓郁,语言鲜活,但熟字新义词、超纲词及专业词语多,长句、难句多。政治类文章大多数是同学们感性趣的内容,读起来倒有似曾相识的感觉,经济类文章读起来就像是雾里看花,文章看完,一头雾水。再加之这类文章的命题侧重于词义猜测、推理判断和文章主旨,同学们对这类题材是望而生畏。
【备考策略】建立心理优势。针对不同体裁的文章,我们要采取相应的阅读方法和技巧。政治类文章多采用记叙文形式,我们可采取“顺读法”,以便抓关键语句,领会文章主旨;而经济类文章则多采用说明文形式,我们则可以采取“逆读法”,先读试题,再从文章中查找有用信息。若遇到的确难读的材料。千万不用着急,因为你觉得难,其他人也一定是同感。在高考前,我们就要有这种心理准备,高考试卷肯定有一、两篇难以阅读的材料。不过,我们平时可以有意识地从报刊杂志上找一些较难的阅读材料来阅读,以培养自己迎难而上的心理素质。
【答题方法】
1、寻找主干:
根据英语中五种基本句型结构,把句子中的主语、谓语、宾语、表语等主要成分找出来,其他成分如定语、状语、补语等则易于理解。找到了句子主干,句子的意思至少明白了一半。
2、剔除从句:
在一个长句中可能会出现若干个从句,在理解时,如果把各个从句剔除出来单独理解,然后把大意拼凑起来,整个长句的意思就会明白六、七分。
3、辨别分句:
一个长句如果是由几个并列、转折、递进、对比关系的分句组成,句中往往有表示这些分句关系的连接词,只要能弄清楚分句和分句之间的逻辑关系,再把各层分句的意思加以连贯,整个长句的句意基本上能跃然脑中。
4、寻找关键词:
如果一个句子看完,一点句意的感觉也没有,下下策就是抓住句中的关键词,通过关键词大体弄懂这个长句的意思。
