In so many ways, cyberspace（网络空间） mirrors the real world．People ask for information, play games, and share hobby tips．Others buy and sell products．Still others look for friendship, or even love．

Some Internet users want more than just someone to chat with．They’re looking for serious love relationships．Is cyberspace a good place to find love? That answer depends on whom you ask．Some of these relationships actually succeed．Others end in tears．

Unlike the real world, however, your knowledge about a person is limited to words on a computer screen．Identity and appearance mean very little in cyberspace．Rather, a person’s thoughts or at least the thoughts they type are what really counts．So even the shyest person can become a chat-room star．

Usually, this “faceless” communication doesn’t create problems．Identity doesn’t really matter when you’re in a chat-room discussing politics or hobbies．In fact, this emphasis on the ideas themselves makes the Internet a great place for exciting conversation．Where else can so many people come together to chat?

Supporters of online relationships claim that the Internet allows couples to know how intelligent they are first．Personal appearance doesn’t get in the way．

But critics（批评者）of online relationships argue that no one can truly know another person in cyberspace．Why? Because the Internet gives users a lot of control over how others view them．Internet users can carefully choose their words to fit whatever image they want to give．And they don’t have to worry about what their “non-verbal ” communication is doing for their image．In a sense, they’re not really themselves．All of this may be fine if the relationship stays in cyberspace．But not knowing a person is a big problem in a love relationship．With so many unknowns, it’s easy to let one’s imagination “fill in the blanks”．This surely leads to disappointment when couples meet in person．How someone imagines an online friend is often quite different from the real person．

So, before looking for love in cyberspace, remember the advice of Internet pioneer Clifford Stoll, “Life in the real world is far richer than anything you’ll find on a computer screen．”

1.Which would the critics of online relationships most probably disagree to?

A．Nobody can truly know another person in cyberspace．

B．Internet users can choose words to create any image they like．

C．The Internet allows couples know how intelligent they are．

D．In a sense, Internet users are not really themselves．

2.Even the shyest person can become a chat-room star because what really counts is a person’s ______．

A．non-verbal communication     B．thoughts typed on the screen

C．knowledge and appearance    D．identity shown in the chat

3.The underlined word “This” （Paragraph 6） refers to ______．

C．imagining online friends with so many unknowns

D．knowing a person in a love relationship

4.What’s the writer’s attitude towards finding love in cyberspace?

In so many ways, cyberspace(网络空间) mirrors the real world. People ask for information, play games, and share hobby tips. Others buy and sell products. Still others look for friendship, or even love.

Unlike the real world, however, your knowledge about a person is limited to words on a computer screen. Identity and appearance mean very little in cyberspace. Rather, a person’s thoughts—or at least the thoughts they type—are what really count. So even the shyest person can become a chat-room star.

Usually, this “faceless” communication doesn’t create problems. Identity doesn’t really matter when you’re in a chat room discussing politics or hobbies. In fact, this emphasis on the ideas themselves makes the Internet a great place for exciting conversation. Where else can so many people come together to chat about their interests?

But some Internet users want more than just someone to chat with. They’re looking for serious love relationships. Is cyberspace a good place to find love? That answer depends on whom you ask. Some of these relationships actually succeed. Others fail miserably.

Supporters of online relationships claim that the Internet allows couples to get to know each other intellectually first. Personal appearance doesn’t get in the way.

But critics of online relationships argue that no one can truly know another person in cyberspace. Why? Because the Internet gives users a lot of control over how others view them. Internet users can carefully craft their words to fit whatever image they want to give. And they don’t have to worry about what their “faceless” communication is doing for their image. In a sense, they’re not really themselves.

All of this may be fine if the relationship stays in cyberspace. But not knowing a person is a big problem in a love relationship. With so many unknowns, it’s easy to let one’s imagination “fill in the blanks.” This inevitably leads to disappointment when couples meet in person. How someone imagines an online friend is often quite different than the real person.

So, before looking for love in cyberspace, remember the advice of Internet pioneer Clifford Stoll: “Life in the real world is far richer than anything you’ll find on a computer screen.”

(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)

1.We learn about a person in cyberspace only through  _________________.

2.Why is the Internet a great place for exciting conversation?

3.What makes online love relationship often fail?

4.From the passage we can learn that the writer __________________________ looking for love on the Internet.

高三英语阅读理解简单题查看答案及解析

In 1947 a group of famous people from the art world headed by an Austrian conductor decided to hold an intemational festival of music,dance and theatre in Edinburgh. The idea was to reunite Europe after the Second World War.

At the same time, the “Fringe” appeared as a challenge to the official festival.Eight theatre groups turned up uninvited in 1947,in the belief that everyone should have the right to perform,and they did so in a public house disused for years.

Soon,groups of studentsfirstly from Edinburgh University, and later from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge,Durham and Birmingham were making the journey to the Scottish capital each summer to perform theatre by little-known writers of plays in small church halls to the people of Edinburgh.

Today the “Fringe”,once less recognized, has far outgrown the festival with around 1,500 performances of theatre,music and dance on every one of the 21 days it lasts. And yet as early as 1959,with only 19 theatre groups performing,some said it was getting too big.

A paid administrator was first employed only in 1971, and today there are eight administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150 during August itself. In 2004 there were 200 places housing 1,695 shows by over 600 different groups from 50 different countries. More than 1,25 million tickets were sold.

1.Point was the purpose of Edinburgh Festival at he beginning?

A．To bring Europe together again.

B．To honor heroes of World War 11.

C．To introduce young theatre groups.

D．To attract great artists from Europe.

2.Why did some uninvited theatre groups come to  Edinburgh in 1947?

A．They owned a public house there.

B．They came to take up a challenge.

C．They thought they were also famous.

D．They wanted to take part in the festival.

3.Who joined the "Fringe" after it appeared?

A．they owned a public house there

B．University students.

C．人rusts from around the world.

D．Performers of music and dance.

4.We may learn from the text that Edinburgh Festival.
