Question

    Imagine you receive an e-mail that looks something like this: ARE YOU GOING TO CLASS TODAY? How does reading this message make you feel? Was he or she angry or did that person just forget to turn off the ‘Caps Lock’ on the computer? The fact is that this e-mail “sounds” like the writer is shouting because using all capital letters in an e-mail is usually the way that people shout online. Knowing when to and when not to use capital letters is just one example of online etiquette(规矩)often called netiquette.1. Following are some of her suggestions.

First always remember that you are sending messages to a real person not just to a computer. Don’t type anything that you wouldn’t say to someone’s face. 2. So make sure your meaning is clear.

Don’t do anything online that you wouldn’t do in real life. Don’t take anything without paying for it unless it's free. Don’t read other people’s e-mail—you wouldn’t you’re your next-door neighbor’s mailbox and open their mail right? And do share your knowledge of the Internet with others.3.

4. Good writing skills as well as correct grammar and spelling do matter. Send polite well-written e-mail messages to others. If you’re uncertain about how to spell a word or which phrase to use, look it up. There are lots of helpful books and websites.

It’s okay to express your opinions online in forums like chat rooms or message boards for example “MSN” or “QQ” but don’t start arguments with people. 5. But they are often unfair to other members of the group. Express your ideas but remember that fighting on or offline is just not right.

A. Remember you’re not the only one online.

B. “Flame wars” in online discussion can be interesting to read.

C. Try to respect others, such as their space, privacy, and feelings.

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。我们在网上和别人交流时该做什么，不该做什么以及我们说话的方式很重要，就像在真实生活中一样要尊重别人。文章中给我们提供了一些很好的建议。

1.根据下文“Following are some of her suggestions.”（以下是她的一些建议。）可知本句为说明某位女性提出了一些与他人在线正确沟通的一些基本注意事项。故G选项“Virginia Shea在她的书《网络礼仪》中列出了与他人在线正确沟通的一些基本注意事项。”符合上下文语境。故选G。

2.根据下文“So make sure your meaning is clear.”（所以确保你的意思是清楚的）可推知和他人在网上沟通时，一定要注意语言清楚，因为对方看不到你的脸，也听不到你的声音。故F选项“还要记住，他听不到你的声音，也看不见你脸上的表情。”符合上下文语境。故选F。

3.根据上文“And do share your knowledge of the Internet with others.”（并与他人分享你的互联网知识。）可推知本句承接上文继续说明互联网是一个有很多信息的大地方，有很多新事物等着你去发现。其中D选项中it指代上文中的the Internet。故D选项“这是一个有很多信息的大地方，有很多新事物等着你去发现。”符合上下文语境。故选D。

4.根据下文“Good writing skills as well as correct grammar and spelling do matter.”（良好的写作技巧以及正确的语法和拼写都很重要。）中good writing skills可对应到E选项中write well，且E选项表示“记住，人们通过你的言行来评价你，所以一定要写好。”符合上下文语境。故选E。

5.根据下文“But they are often unfair to other members of the group. Express your ideas but remember that fighting on or offline is just not right.”（但是他们经常对群体中的其他成员不公平。表达你的想法，但要记住，无论是线上还是线下的斗争都是不正确的。）but表示转折，可推知虽然网上讨论读起来很有趣，但是要记住无论是线上还是线下的斗争都是不正确的。故B选项“网上讨论中的“激烈争论”读起来很有趣。”符合上下文语境。故选B。
