Today, most communication takes place online. A typical teen sends 2,000 texts a month and spends more than 44 hours per week in front of a screen. Much of this time is spent on social media platforms(平台).
In fact, in many ways, online communication can make friendships stronger, “There's definitely a positive influence. Kids can stay in constant contact, which means they can share more of their feelings with each other,” says Katie David, co-author of The Ape Generation.
Other experts, however, warn that too much online communication can get in the way of forming deep friendships. “If we are constantly checking in with our virtual worlds, we will have little time for our real-world friendships,” says Lar

However, in tough times, you don't need some one to like your picture or share your blogs. You need someone who will keep your secrets and hold your hand. You would like to talk face to face.

答案： 28.B 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Thirteen - year - old Kaylee has a lot of friends—532...And she spends a lot of time with them.”及下文内容可知,文章通过介绍Kaylee拥有很多线上朋友并花大量时间与他们交流的事例,引出了下文的讨论。由此可推知,第一段的目的是提出一场讨论。
29.A 词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“During your parents’ childhoods, connecting with friends usually meant spending time with them in the flesh. Kids played Scrabble around a table, not Words With Friends on their phones.”可知,在父母(那一代)的童年时代,与朋友交往通常意味着围着桌子一起玩而不是在手机上联络。因此,画线部分指的是“亲自”。
30.B 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“‘There’s definitely a positive influence...which means they can share more of their feelings with each other,’ says Katie David, co - author of The Ape Generation.”可知,凯蒂认为网络交流有积极影响。由此可推知,凯蒂对网上交流的态度是积极的。
31.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“‘If we are constantly checking in with our virtual words, we will have little time for our real - world friendships,’ says Larry Rosen, a professor at California State University.”及“You need someone...talk face to face.”可推知,罗森认为过度沉浸在虚拟世界中会影响现实世界的友谊。
