Ⅲ.任务型阅读
Talking to friends on WeChat, Wang Chenchen's mood changes according to her friends'
replies. Long sentences are always heartwarming and happy emoticons indicate the other
person's good spirits. But one word replies like “OK”， “Oh” or “hehe” quickly kill the mood.
Overreliance on online communication is causing division between people and social anxiety
in this digital era. With social media bringing people closer together than ever before, a new set of
online language norms also appears.
Connected or separated
Wang Chenchen, 20, an English major at the University of International Business and
Economics says, “I tend to judge my friends by the quality and speed with which they comment
on my updates on Weibo or WeChat.”
But to Chen Jie, 21, a biological engineering major at Huazhong University of Science and
Technology, Wang's evaluation system is problematic. “Everyone has their lifestyle and a certain
way of using social media，” says Chen, who is always busy working in the laboratory and hardly
has time for social media.
Ge Yan, a professor of communication at Shanghai Jiaotong University, says social media is
causing fragmentation (碎片化) of communication. “People tend to judge their surroundings
by the information available ，” says Ge. “ They also evaluate their friendships and others'
lifestyles based on fragmented pieces of information with which they construct a socalled reality.”
Need for emotion
According to Ge, such superficial communication helps encourage more interaction between
people, but in terms of building solid interpersonal relationships it causes more harm than good.
An online survey on Sina Weibo last month shows, “hehe” was the top conversation killer in 2013.
“The words people hate all have one thing in common — a lack of emotion，” says Ge.
Zhang Wei, a professor of linguistics at Renmin University of China, thinks that such short
expressions carry so little emotion that they separate people. Chatting online cannot convey the
same emotions as communication in real life. This makes it difficult to understand the other
person's true intentions. “That's why I always suggest talking face to face to resolve problems，”
says Zhang. “Unfortunately the reality is that most people spend less time talking to each other in
this way.”
Anxiety and insecurity
Zhang further explains that the reason why people's mood is strongly affected by such
unemotional words when communicating online is rooted in social anxiety. People feel insecure
because of all kinds of pressures. It's like a vicious circle — “ Less time for facetoface
communication leads to more online communication, but online expressions of emotion are too
changeable to provide the comfort needed，” says Zhang. “As a result, people become more
anxious.”

Ⅰ.1.解析：选 B 一般疑问句由直接引语变间接引语时，用 if 或 whether 引导，从句用
陈述句语序。
2．解析：选 C 当直接引语为特殊疑问句，变为间接引语时，间接引语前仍然用特殊疑
问词引导，注意从句必须用陈述语序。
3．解析：选 C 直接引语是祈使句，间接引语应改成用不定式作宾语补足语的句型。动
词用 tell, ask, order 等。本题直接引语中用了 please，故动词用 ask。正确答案为 C 项。
4．解析：选 D 祈使句的直接引语变间接引语时，要把它变成不定式，而否定的祈使句
则在不定式的前面加否定词 not，所以本题选 D 项。

7．解析：选 C 直接引语如果是客观事实或真理，变为间接引语时，不管主句用什么时
