资源描述
Unit 3 The internet互联网给我们的工作和生活带来便捷,但它在改变我们生活的同时,也正在改变我们大脑的结构和功能。From gathering food to finding a mate and communicating with other members of society, many of the most basic human activities are now being carried out in the virtual realm. Yet with research into the impact of the Internet on brain function still in its infancy, an international team of researchers has compiled a review of everything we have learned so far about how digital life is altering our minds. Appearing in the journal World Psychiatry and authored by scientists from Oxford University, Harvard University, Western Sydney University, Kings College, and Manchester University, the review examines findings from a number of brainimaging studies in order to assess some of the leading hypothesis regarding how the Internet may affect our brains. Though the findings are not intended to be taken as conclusive, evidence suggests that our online lifestyles are altering brain regions associated with attention, memory, and social skills.Whether the Internet is good or bad for our brains is not definitive. Whats clear, however, is that the more time we spend online, the more we alter our cognitive function.【注】realm n. 王国;领域;范围impact n. 冲击(力),撞击,巨大影响vt. 挤入,压紧hypothesis n. 假设,猜测,前提function n. 功能,函数,职务【立德树人】有人说不论何时互联网都是一把双刃剑(doubleedged sword),作为中学生我们要了解互联网的发展,要趋利避害,充分利用(make full use of)网络开阔视野,发展自己,造福社会。Section Listening and Speaking基础知识 预习自检.重点词汇1blog n. 博客vi. 写博客blogger n. 博客作者;博主2engine n. 引擎;发动机;火车头engineer n. 工程师engineering n. 工程;工程学3identity n. 身份;个性identify v. 认出,识别4blog_post 博文;博客帖子5search_engine (互联网上的)搜索引擎 6identity_card 身份证7stream_movies_and_music 流(媒体)式播放电影和音乐8more_than 超过;不仅仅是;非常9chat_with_sb. 和某人聊天10it_depends 看情况; 那得看情况; 这得看情况.教材原句 1I _ (写博客文章) when I am online.答案:write a blog post2I _ (使用搜索引擎) when I am online.答案:use a search engine3A blog is _ (一篇在线日记) where you write about something youre interested in.答案:an online diary4_ (多少时间) do you spend online every day?答案:How much time5I _ (从不分享) the things that should be only mine.答案:never share6When you hear a word you dont know, _ (注意) the next sentence or two to see if there is a definition.答案:pay attention to7These are things only I should know _ (在网站或游戏中)答案:on website or in games8I listen to music, _ (流媒体式播放视频), or look up information.答案:stream videos9I always keep things secret when I _ (上网)答案:go online10And so I use a nonsense name for my _ (网络身份)答案:net identity重点知识 合作探究1blog n. 博客vi. 写博客(教材P26)归纳拓展(1)经常刷微博,你知道这些词用英语怎么说吗? blog post 博文;博客帖子microblog 微博;fans/followers 粉丝;mutual following 互粉;forward 转发;comment, to leave a comment 评论;a Weibo update/post 一条微博;private message 私信;flood the screen 刷屏;submit 发布;refresh/reload 刷新;reply 回复;block this user/add to black list 拉黑;review and repost the Weibo 评论并转发;unfollow 脱粉(2)blogging v. 写博客(blog的ing形式) (3)blogger n. 写博客的人;博主So far, Sina_MicroBlog has been leading the market in China. 到目前为止,中国微博市场仍是新浪微博占领先地位。I was then able to quit my job and be a blogger and author full time. 后来,我得到机会辞去了之前的工作,成为了全职博客写稿人和作家。I blog for MSN for example, a job that came about via Twitter. 例如,我为MSN撰写博客,这工作是通过Twitter得到的。(1)单句语法填空I need it for my _ (blog), my other writing, for keeping in touch with family and friends.While most _ (blog) comment on news reported elsewhere, some do their own reporting.答案:bloggingbloggers(2)单句写作他们异常渴望刷新微博,如果他们错过了最新消息,他们会感到不安。They are so urge to refresh the _, they panic when they miss the latest news.我读了一份你参与撰写的报告或我读了你写的博客。I read a report that you contributed to or I _ that you wrote.答案:microblogread a blog2chat vi. 聊天;闲聊(教材P26)归纳拓展(1)chat with sb. 与某人聊天chat sb. up 说甜言蜜语;与异性搭讪聊天chat about 闲谈关于的话题chat online 网上聊天(2)chat n. 聊天;闲聊have a chat 聊天;闲聊chat room 聊天室James likes chatting_with his classmates during recess.詹姆士喜欢在休息的时候与同学闲谈。My boyfriend always chats_me_up.我的男朋友总是跟我说甜言蜜语。We chatted_about Andys performance in his concert.

From computers to smartphones, a web of information is open to them. According to a new report, about three out of four kids aged 12 to 15 connect the Internet using a mobile device from time to time. Many younger kids are online too.Julian Zeitlinger, 9, from New Jersey, uses his computer to watch videos and play games. To keep him safe online, his parents monitorhis web use and discuss Internet safety with him. “I ask my parents whether something is nice or bad,” Julian says.Mobile devices offer more ways than ever to share personal information. The information can be dangerous in the wrong hands.A study found that 62% of children aged 8 to 17 have had an unpleasant online experience.Have you ever had to enter a parents email address when signing up for a website? That safety measure is there because of the Childrens Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). The law says sites for kids under 13 cannot collect personal information, such as a phone number or full name, without a parents permission.This July, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) will update COPPA for the first time since the law was created in 1998 when there were no smart phones. The nature of the way kids get online has changed, FTC lawyer Phyllis Marcus said.When the changes take effect, COPPA will apply tomobile devices and newer forms of advertising. It will expand what falls under “personal information” to include videos, photographs, and services that give users location.COPPA doesnt cover everything that can go wrong online. That is why kids and parents need to know what to look out for and to stop and think before sharing information online.“There is a misunderstanding that if a site is following COPPA, it is totally safe,” says privacy expert Shai Samet. He runs kidSAFE, which checks whether a site meets kidSAFE standards and is safe. “Its important that kids know how useful the Internet is but that it also can be dangerous if you are not careful.” he adds.篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了儿童上网的安全问题及COPPA(儿童网络隐私保护法案)的成因、发展等特征。1Julians parents check his web use to make sure _.Ahe doesnt watch too many videosBhe doesnt play computer gamesChe controls his online timeDhe stays safe on the Internet答案:D细节理解题。根据第二段中的“To keep him safe online, his parents monitor his web use”可知,Julian的父母是出于安全考虑才管控他上网的。故D项正确。2Whats one of the changes with COPPA?AIt broadens the concept of personal information. BIt prevents users from making their location public.CIt covers everything that goes wrong online.DIt says no to any kind of advertising.答案:A细节理解题。根据文章第六段第二句“It will expand what falls under personal information to include videos, photographs, and services that give users location.”可知,COPPA把个人信息的范围拓展到多个方面。故A项正确。3People often hold the wrong idea that _.Aformal websites are always safeBthe Internet is becoming safer and saferCCOPPA can ensure their complete safety Ddaily checks prevent future online problems答案:C推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“There is a misunderstanding that if a site is following COPPA, it is totally safe”可知,人们总会误解遵守COPPA的网站是绝对安全的。由此可推知,人们误以为COPPA能确保他们绝对的安全。故C项正确。4Why does the author write the passage?ATo ask parents to look out for their kids.BTo talk about online safety for children.CTo introduce a new law.DTo sell an online product.答案:B推理判断题。通读全文可知,文章主要介绍了儿童上网的安全问题,以及COPPA为保护儿童安全上网所做的努力。故B项符合题意。1monitor vt. 监视;监控 2.permission n. 允许,许可1sign up for 注册;报名参加 2.apply to 适用于;应用于3look out for 留心;注意语法填空Becoming a famous person is the dream of many people, and Tian is getting closer to that dream.
