第二篇文章 10-19题
Q10
答案：C
难度：低
解析：单词题。原句为：The Soviet people didn’t plot how they would build these [social] networks. A选项mark意为标记，B中form意为形成，C中plan意为计划，D中claim意为要求。第一段描述了前苏联的经济形式，即由人际关系形成(“economy driven by human relationships”)，这种形成是自然而然的(“No one was teaching them … Their networks evolved naturally…”)，因此不是计划好的，对应C选项中的plan。A显然没有意义，B和D与原文意思不符。

Q11

难度：低
解析：例子目的题。第三段的主旨是描述科技如何使得人们进行经济活动变得更直接更便利，给出的三个例子来自于世界各地，能够简单地接触到各地的人，强调的是科技连接人们的快捷性和广度，对应B中的broad reach。A中的产品质量(quality of products)，C中的可信性(trustworthy)原文都没有提到。D选项与原文无关。

Q12
答案：A
难度：中
解析：段落目的题。第一段介绍前苏联六七十年代的经济，主要目的是引出社会网络(social networking)这一概念，对应A选项。其中主导作用为人际关系，并没有提到科技在其中的作用，所以B错;也没有将苏联和其他国家进行对比，C错。提到过去的这个情形只是为了引出概念，后面从第二段开始直接就讲文章的主题，即讲今天科技带来的社会网络的变化，所以第一段并不是强调研究历史变化的重要性，D错。
l 对应CCSS标准：

答案：D
难度：中
解析：补充说明题。35～37行描述各种网络应用为了说明科技带来的人与人之间沟通的便捷性;74～76行描述的是将来科技发展到一定程度时出现的一种可能性，强调的是“unpredictability”即不可预知性;79～84行描述的是对传统机构的冲击和给人们带来的新的机遇。只有85～87行描述了一种负面影响，即人们缺乏直接的交流。

RI1: Cite strong and thorough textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text.
