An Extension of the Human Brain

Other people can help us compensate for our mental and emotional deficiencies (欠缺)，much as a wooden leg can compensate for a physical deficiency. To be exact, other people can extend our intelligence and help us understand and adjust our emotions. When another person helps us in such ways, he or she is participating in what I’ve called a ＂social prosthetic (義肢的）system.＂ Such systems do not need to operate face-to-face, and it’s clear to me that the Internet is expanding the range of my own social prosthetic systems. It’s already a big bank of many minds. Even in its current state, the Internet has extended my memory and judgment.

Regarding memory: Once I look up something on the Internet, I don’t need to keep all the details for future use—I know where to find that information again and can quickly and easily do so. More generally, the Internet functions as if it were my memory. This function of the Internet is particularly striking when I’m writing; I’m no longer comfortable writing if I’m not connected to the Internet. It’s become natural to check facts as I write, taking a minute or two to dip into PubMed, Wikipedia, or other websites.

Regarding judgment: The Internet has made me smarter in matters small and large. For example, when I’m writing a textbook, it has become second nature to check a dozen definitions of a key term, which helps me dig into the core and understand its meaning. But more than that, I now regularly compare my views with those of many others. If I have a ＂new idea,＂ I now quickly look to see whether somebody else has already thought of it, or something similar—and I then compare what I think with what others have thought. This certainly makes my own views clearer. Moreover, I can find out whether my reactions to an event are reasonable enough by reading about those of others on the Internet.

These effects of the Internet have become even more striking since I’ve begun using a smartphone. I now regularly pull out my phone to check a fact, watch a video, read weibo. Such activities fill the spaces that used to be dead time (such as waiting for somebody to arrive for a lunch meeting).

But that’s the upside (好處). The downside is that in those dead periods I often would let my thoughts flow and sometimes would have an unexpected insight or idea. Those opportunities are now fewer and farther between.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】Internet

【2】participates/joins

【3】keeping

【4】all/different/various

【5】heart/core

【6】check

【7】judge

【8】mixed/two

【9】convenient

【10】reduce

【解析】

【1】Internet 原詞再現(xiàn)。根據(jù)第一段第四句Such systems do not need to operate face-to-face, and it’s clear to me that the Internet is expanding the range of my own social prosthetic systems.可知因特網(wǎng)可以拓寬社會義肢系統(tǒng)的范圍，也就是說網(wǎng)絡(luò)可以彌補我們精神和情感上的缺陷。

【2】participates/joins 同義句轉(zhuǎn)換。根據(jù)第一段最后兩句It’s already a big bank of many minds. Even in its current state, the Internet has extended my memory and judgment.可知動詞短語＂participate/join in＂符合句意。

【3】keeping 詞形轉(zhuǎn)換。根據(jù)第二段第一句＂Once I look up something on the Internet, I don’t need to keep all the details.....＂可知動詞短語＂keep...in mind記�。ⅲ�在表格中放在介詞without的后面，要使用動名詞keeping的形式。

【4】all/different/various 同義詞轉(zhuǎn)換。根據(jù)第三段第一句The Internet has made me smarter in matters small and large.可知原文中＂matters small and large＂就是＂all/different/various＂的事情。

【5】heart/core 同義句轉(zhuǎn)換。根據(jù)第三段第二句＂.....which helps me dig into the core and understand its meaning＂可知網(wǎng)絡(luò)能讓我們找到事物的核心并理解其真正含義。故短語＂the core/heart of the matter＂和原文中＂dig into the core＂語義一致。

【6】check 同義詞轉(zhuǎn)換。根據(jù)第三段第四句＂If I have a ＂ new idea,＂ I now quickly look to see whether somebody else has already thought of it, or something similar—and I then compare what I think with what others have thought.＂可知當我們有了新的觀點以后，我們會上網(wǎng)檢查核對別人是否已經(jīng)有了同樣的觀點，并對自己的行動做出判斷。表格中check與原文語義一致。

【7】judge 歸納總結(jié)。根據(jù)第三段最后一句＂Moreover, I can find out whether my reactions to an event are reasonable enough by reading about those of others on the Internet.＂可知在網(wǎng)絡(luò)上閱讀其他人的信息，讓我判斷我的行為是否合理，所以表格里使用動詞judge。

【8】mixed/two 歸納總結(jié)。在文章最后兩段中既提到了智能手機的優(yōu)點也提到了其缺點。所以這是智能手機的正反兩方面內(nèi)容，所以使用形容詞＂mixed/two＂。

【9】convenient 同義句轉(zhuǎn)換。根據(jù)第四段后兩句I now regularly pull out my phone to check a fact, watch a video, read weibo. Such activities fill the spaces that used to be dead time (such as waiting for somebody to arrive for a lunch meeting).可知我們可以使用智能手機隨時查信息，看視頻，讀微博，使用起來非常方便。所以使用形容詞＂convenient＂。

【10】reduce 句意轉(zhuǎn)換。根據(jù)文章最后兩句＂The downside is that in those dead periods I often would let my thoughts flow and sometimes would have an unexpected insight or idea. Those opportunities are now fewer and farther between.＂在過去那些＂dead periods＂時，我總會有一些靈光一現(xiàn)的神來之念，但是現(xiàn)在這些時間都被智能手機占用了。無疑就減少了這些神來之念的可能性。所以表格中使用＂reduce the possibility＂。
