The faces the threat of extinction from rising sea levels, but t he government said on Thursday it was looking to the future with plans to build homes and a golf course that float.An increase in sea levels of just 18 to 59 centimeters would m ake the Maldives—a nation of tiny coral islands in the Indian Ocean—virtually uninhabitable by 2100, the UN’s climate change pane l has warned.President Mohamed Nasheed has vowed a fight for survival, and last month he signed a deal with a Dutch company to stu dy proposals for a floating structure that could support a confe rence centre, homes and an 18-hole golf course.“It is still early stages and we are awaiting a report on the prac ticality,” a government official who declined to be named said.The company, Dutch Docklands, is currently building floatingdevelopments in the Netherlands and . There was no immedi ate comment from the firm but its website said it undertook pr ojects that make “la nd from water by providing large-scale floating constructions to create similar conditions as on l and”.The Maldives began to work on an artificial island known as th e Hulhumale near the crowded capital of in 1997 and more t han 30,000 people have been settled there to ease congestio n. The city, which has a population of 100,000, is already prot ected from rising sea levels by a 30-million-dollar sea wall, and the government is considering increasingl y imaginative ways to combat climate change.Nasheed, who staged the world’s first underwater cabinet me eting in October to highlight his people’s serious and difficult s ituation, has even spoken of buying land elsewhere in the wor ld to enable Maldivians to relocate if their homes are complete d covered.He has also promised to turn his nation into amodel for the rest of the world by becoming “carbon neutral” b y 2020. His plan involves ending fossil fuel use and powering all vehicles and buildings from “green” sources such as burning coconut husks.1. Why do you think Mohamed Nasheed chose Dutch Docklands?A. Because it has experience in building floating structure.B. Because it has a good fame throughout the world.C. Because it charged much less than other companies.D. Because it supports building floating structures in the world .2. The Hulhumale was built with the purpose of .A. attracting more visitorsB. making it a new capitalC. making the capital less crowdedD. fighting against climate change3. According to the last two paragraphs, Nasheed is a person who .A.has succeeded in buying land abroad B. is more than well-knownC. has thought more for his nationD. has stopped using fossil fuel4. The underlined word “vowed” in paragraph 3 can be replac ed by .A. endedB. promisedC. failedD. weighed【参考答案】1—4、ACCB【2013界广东深圳市第二次调研考试】We’re so well educated – but we’re useless students who hav e lost the ability to do anything practical. The only thing we’ve mastered is consumption.Large numbers of students have entered higher education in t he past 10 years, but despite being the most educated genera tion in history, it seems that we’ve grown increasingly ignorant when it comes to basic life skills.Looking back on my first couple of weeks of living in student h alls, I consider myself lucky to still be alive. Unfamiliar to fresh er’s, there are many hidden dangers in the dirty corners of stu dents accommodation.I have survived a couple of serious boiling egg incidents and l ots of cases of food – poisoning, probably from dirty kitchen c ounters. Although some of my clothes have fallen victim to iro ning experimentation, I think I have now finally acquired all th e domestic (居家的) skills I missed out in my modem education.In 2006 and 2010, the charming educationist Sir Ken Robinson gave two very amusing talks in which he discussed the imp ortance of creativity in education. Robinson’s main viewpoint i s that our current education system dislocates people from th eir natural talents. I would like to go a step further and propos e that besides our talents, the system takes away what used t o be passed from generation to generation – a working knowl edge of basic life skills.Today’s graduates may have earned themselves honor in hist ory, law or economies, but when it comes to simple things like putting up a shelf to hold all their academic books, or fixing a hole in their on – trend clothes, they have to call for help from a professional handyman or tailor.Since the invention of the internet, it has never been easier fo r people to access information, but our highly specialized edu cation has made us more one – sided than ever.I suggest that we start with the immediate reintroduction of so me of the most vital aspects of “domestic science” education, before the current lack leads to serious accidents in student h alls.36.People call us useless students for the reason that .A.what we’ve learned is beyond consumptionB.we are educated generationC.we’ve entered higher educationD.our living skills are so poor【答案】D【解析】细节理解题。

In business, there's a speed difference:It's the difference between how important a firm's leaders say speed is to their competitive (竞争的) strategy(策略)and how fast the company actually moves.The difference i s important regardless of industry and company size. Compan ies fearful of losing their competitive advantage spend much ti me and money looking for ways to pick up the speed.In our study of 343 businesses, the companies that chose to g o, go, go to try to gain_an_edge ended up with lower sales an d operating incomes than those that paused at key moments t o make sure they were on the right track. What's more, the fir ms that “slowed down to speed up ”improved their top and bot tom lines, averaging 40% higher sales and 52% higher operat ing incomes over a threeyear period.How did they disobey the_laws_of_business_physics,_taking more time than competitors yet performing better? They thoug ht differently about what “slower” and “faster” mean. Firms sometimes fail to under stand the difference between operational speed (moving quic kly )and strategic speed (reducing the time it takes to deliver v alue ). Simply increasing the speed of production, for example , may be one way to try to reduce the speed difference. But th at often leads to reduced value over time, in the form of lower quality products and services.In our study, higherperforming companies with strategic spee d always made changes when necessary. They became more open to ideas and discussion. They encouraged new ways of thinking. And they allowed time to look back and le arn. By contrast (相比而言), performance suffered at firms thatmoved fast all the time, paid too much attention to improving efficiency, Stuck to tested methods, didn't develop team spirit among their employees, and had little time thinking about cha nges.Strategic speed serves as a kind of leadership. Teams that re gularly take time to get things right, rather than plough ahead full bore, are more successful in meeting their business goals. That kind of strategy must come from the top.提速,似乎是历来公司老总们所追求的,增加效益更是他们的最终目标。

For many of us, aspirin, one of the most common nonprescription drugs, is a constant companion. It is the most effective drug that we have, and if we eliminated all but three drugs, aspirin would definitely be one of the three drugs we should keep. Even with all the new drugs available, it still has a place in many of our medicine cabinets, as a “miracle drug〞 in its ability to fight pain and inflammation (炎症) and even more amazing in its ability to reduce heart attack and stroke risk.Aspirin is the first member of a class of substances called non-steroidalanti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs非甾体抗炎药). These drugs reduce pain, fever and inflammation, and are used to treat a variety of conditions. Many believe that aspirin has many benefits not yet fully understood. Media reports on the use of aspirin to prevent or treat diseases such as heart attacks and cancer leave many people struggling to keep all the facts straight. Others who cannot tolerate aspirin might feel a bit left out as new uses and benefits of aspirin continue to appear in the news.In all cases, more researches are needed to determine what benefits aspirin may provide and whether these benefits would outweigh the potential side effects. Aspirin, for example, is known to cause gastrointestinal (胃肠的) bleeding with heavy use, and there is research that indicates an increased risk of bleeding-related stroke in people who use it regularly. In some cases, these reactions can be killers. Another potentially deadly problem is aspirin poisoning and most people don’t know about it.Before you start taking any of these over-the-counter (不需处方也可出售的) drugs ona long-term basis, it’s a good idea to discuss it with your health care provider.1. From the second paragraph we know.A. Humans have fully understood the benefits of aspirin.B. Aspirin is the only member of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.C. Not every one of us can take aspirin.D. Aspirin can be used to stop bleeding.2. What’s the thi rd paragraph mainly about?A. Many researches about aspirin.B. Aspirin’s side effects.C. New uses of aspirin.D. The unknown aspects about aspirin.3. The underlined word in the first paragraph means.A. keptB. savedC. investigatedD. removed4. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. Aspirin can cure us of most diseases.B. Aspirin is important in reducing pain and heart attack.C. The side effects of aspirin outweigh its benefits.D. We can buy some aspirin and take it imme diately if we don’t feel well. 【参考答案】1—4、CBDB社会生活类-----阅读理解。

As the railroads and the highways shaped the American West in the past centuries, a new electrical generating (发电) and transmission (输送) system for the 21st century will leave a lasting mark on the West, for better or worse. Much of the real significance of railroads and highways is not in their direct physical effect on the scenery, but in the ways that they affect the surrounding community. The same is true of big solar plants and the power lines that will be laid down to move electricity around.The 19th century saw land grants (政府拨地) offered to railroad companies to build the transcontinental railroads, leaving public land in between privately owned land. In much of the west, some of the railroad sections were developed while others remained undeveloped, and in both cases the landownership has presented unique challenges to land management. With the completion of the interstate highway system, many of the small towns which sprang up as railway stops and developed well, have lost their lifeblood and died.Big solar plants and their power lines will also have effects far beyond their direct footprint in the West. This is not an argument against building them. We need alternative energy badly, and to really take advantage of it we need to be able to move electricity around far more readily than we can now.So trade­offs will have to be made. Some scenic sports will be sacrificed. Some species (物种) will be forced to move, or will be carefully moved to special accommodations. Deals will be struck to reduce the immediate effects.The lasting effects of these trade­offs are another matter. The 21st century development of the American West as an ideal place for alternative energy is going to throw off a lot of power and money in the region. There are chances for that power and money to do a lot of good. But it is just as likely that they will be spent wastefully and will leave new problems behind, just like the railroads and the highways.The money set aside i n negotiated trade­offs and the institution that contro l it will shape the West far beyond the immediate footprint of power plants and transmission lines. So let's remember the effects of the railroads and the highways as we construct these new power plants in the West.本文是一篇说明文。

Dear Rudyard Kipling,Father has consistently tried to instill(灌输) a sense of being a man in me ever since I was very young . When I reached the age of twelve he began taking me to his auto body shop. He told me this tough job would build me into a man of character. But this all changed a year ago when my mother passed away and stumbled upon your poem, If.My mother was the person who could understand me. If I ever got tired during my work hours at the shop I could call her to come and pick me up. It was my mother who instilled the love of literature and languages in me. My mother spoke six langu ages fluently and had thousands of books, which still sit in the attic of our house. It was in this “library” of hers that I picked up a book of poetry from a cold metal shelf and found your po em, If.Because of the death of my mother I felt alone, as if I belonged to no family. The image of a man was completely shatt ered when I saw him break down and cry, which looked so pa thetic(凄惨的)and “unmanly” compared to his usual stoic (禁欲主义者)and emotionless countenance. Yet I remained silent remembe ring the golden words: “If you can keep your head when all ab out you/ Are losing theirs and blaming it on you…you’ll be a Man, my son!”If reminded me to remain calm and “keep my head” because I wanted to be a man and wanted to be the one supporting my family. I sacrificed my ability to compete in a winter sport so th at I could stay home and cook for my family and clean the hou se. My father saw this and our relationship has grown much st ronger. He finally respected me for who I was and told me he was proud to have a man for his son. Through this poem, I re alize that to be a man is not about putting weights on a barbell (杠铃)but rather putting the weight of others on your back. Your poem was so much more than just a simple list of guid elines or morals that some see it as; it really changed my life and my relationship with my dad.41. According to the passage, what kind of person does the a uthor’s father expect him to be?A. A person who will shoulder responsibilities.B. A person who knows how to earn a lot of money.C. A person who knows how to do housework.D. A person who respects his parents.【答案】A【解析】细节理解题。

You know eating fruit and vegetables does good. But do you know it can also make you look good? People who increased their intake over just six weeks developed a healthy glow and appeared more attractive, researchers found. Scientists at St Andrews University found eating them slightly increased yellow and red pigments in the volunteers' skin. They monitored the food intake of 35 people and took pictures of their faces, arms and hands using a sensitive camera at the start, and after three and six weeks. Increasing their intake of greens by 2.9 portions a day was found to make the person look more healthy and an extra 3.3 portions could enhance their attractiveness, when their photographs were rated by others.Fruit and vegetables are rich in carotenoids(类胡萝卜素),which are known to protect against cell damage from pollution and UV rays, and can also prevent age-related diseases including heart disease and cancer. But while it was known eating extreme amounts of certain vegetables such as carrots could turn skin orange,it was not known a small increase was perceptible(被觉察)to others—and was seen as appealing.A camera measured changes to the skin's redness, yellowness and lightness, and found it significantly changed in people who naturally increased their intake. These changes were not evident in three weeks. Using light sensors, the researchers showed these red and yellow hues were linked with the levels of carotenoids in their skin. There are hundreds of carotenoids but those thought to have the most dramatic effect are lycopene(番茄红素)—which gives tomatoes and red peppers their red colour—and beta-carotene found in carrots as well as broccoli, squash, and spinach. Skin colour is also affected by chemicals called polyphenols(多元酚),found in apples, blueberries and cherries, which cause blood rush to the skin surface.1. What do we know from the research?A. If you take in a little more fruit and vegetables, you will obviously look more attractive in three weeks.B. The researchers took the pictures of the 35 people in the research at different stages.C. Increasing your intake of greens by 2.9 portions a day can greatly improve your health.D. People who increased their intake of greens by 3.3 portions a day were found the most attractive after six weeks.2. Which of the following is NOT the function of carotenoids?A. They can protect against cell damage from pollution and UV rays.B. They can prevent heart disease and cancer.C. They can prevent age-related diseases.D. They can keep you in good health.3. Which of the statements is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A. We've already known eating extreme amounts of carrots can turn skin orange.B. We knew in the past that eating a few more carrots could make us look appealing.C. The research showed the improvement in skin is linked with the levels of carotenoids in it.D. Among hundreds of carotenoids, lycopene is thought to have the most dramatic4. We can infer from the passage that _____.A. skin's redness, yellowness and lightness make a person look more healthy andattractiveB. carotenoids have the same effect as lycopeneC. it is carotenoids that give tomatoes and red peppers their red colourD. both beta-carotene and polyphenols affect skin colour by causing blood rush to the skin surface5. Which can be the best title of the passage?A. Eating fruit and vegetables does good.B. Fruit and vegetables are rich in carotenoids.C. How to become attractive?D. Eating fruit and vegetables makes you look good.【参考答案】1—5、BDBAD阅读理解。

Most people know that Marie Curie was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize, and the first person to win it twice. However, few people know that she was also the mother of a Nobel Prize winner.Born in September, 1897, Irene Curie was the first of the Curies' two daughters. Along with nine other children whose parents were also famous scholars, Irene studied in their own school, and her mother was one of the teachers. She finished her high school education at the College of Sévigné in Paris.Irene entered the University of Paris in 1914 to prepare for a degree in mathematics and physics. When World War I began, Irene went to help her mother, who was using X­ray facilities(设备) to help save the lives of wounded soldiers.Irene continued the work by developing X­ray facilities in military hospitals in France and Belgium. Her services were recognised in the form of a Military' Medal by the French government. In 1918, Irene became her mother's assistant at the Curie Institute. In December 1924, Frederic Joliot joined the Institute, and Irene taught him the techniques required for his work. They soon fell in love and were married in 1926. Their daughter Helene was born in 1927 and their son Pierre five years later.Like her mother, Irene combined family and career. Like her mother, Irene was awarded a Nobel Prize, along with her husband, in 1935. Unfortunately, also like her mother, she developed leukemia because of her work with radioactivity(辐射能). IreneJoliot­Curie died from leukemia on March 17, 1956.本文是一篇人物介绍。

How is it that siblings (兄弟姐妹) can turn out so differently? One answer is that in fact each sibling grows upin a different family. The firstborn is, for a while, an only child, and therefore has a completely different experience of the parents than those born later. The next child is, for a while, the youngest, until the situation is changed by a new arrival. The mother and father themselves are changing and growing up too. One sibling might live in a stable and close family in the first few years; another might be raised in a family crisis, with a disappointed mother or an angry father.Sibling competition was identified as an important shaping force as early as in 1918. But more recently, researchers have found many ways in which brothers and sisters are a lasting force in each others’lives. Dr. Annette Henderson says firstborn children pick up vocabulary more quickly than their siblings. The reason for this might be that the later childre n aren’t getting the same one- on- one time with parents. But that doesn’t mean that the younger children have problems with language development. Later- borns don’t enjoy that much talking time with parents, but instead they harvest lessons from bigger brothers and sisters, learning entire phrases and getting an understanding of social concepts such as the difference between “I” and “me”.A Cambridge University study of 140 children found that siblings created a rich world of play that helped them grow socially. Love- hate relationships were common among the children. Even those siblings who fought the most had just as much positive communication as the other sibling pairs.One way children seek more attention from parents is by making themselves different from their siblings, particularly if they are close in age. Researchers have foundthat the first two children in a family are typically more different from each other than the second and third. Girls with brothers show their differences to a maximum degree by being morefeminine than girls with sisters. A 2003 research paper studied adolescents from 185 families over two years, finding that those who changed to make themselves different from their siblings were successful in increasing the amount of warmth they gained from their parents.1. The underlined part “in a different family” (in Para. 1) means" ______".A. in a different family environmentB. in a different family traditionC. in different family crisesD. in different families2. In terms of language development, later- borns_______ .A. get their parents’individual guidanceB. learn a lot from their elder siblingsC. experience a lot of difficultiesD. pick up words more quickly3. What was found about fights among siblings?A. Siblings hated fighting and loved playing.B. Siblings in some families fought frequently.C. Sibling fights led to bad sibling relationships.D. Siblings learned to get on together from fights.4. The word“feminine” (in Para. 4) means "______".A. having qualities of parentsB. having qualities of womenC. having defensive qualitiesD. having extraordinary qualities【参考答案】1—4、ABDB阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

Think about the different ways that people use the wind. You can use it to fly a kite or to sail a boat. Wind is one of our cleanest and richest power sources (来源), as well as one of the oldest. Evidence shows that windmills (风车) began to be used in ancient Iran back in the seventh century BC. They were fi rst introduced to Europe during the 1100s, when armies returned from the Middle East with knowledge of using wind power.For many centuries, people used windmills to grind (磨碎) wheat into flour or pump water from deep underground when electricity was discovered in the late 1800s, people living in remote areas began to use them to produce electricity. This allowed them to have electric lights and radio. However, by the 1940s when electricity was available to people in almost all areas of the United States, windmills were rarely used.During the 1970s, people started becoming concerned about the pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned to produce electricity. People also realized that the supply of coal and gas would not last forever. Then, wind was rediscovered, though it means higher costs. Today, there is a global movement to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind.风能早在公元前七世纪就开始被人们用风车所利用,当人们发明了电以后,风能被用来发电,但随着电的广泛使用,风车逐渐不被人们使用了。

There are plenty of good reasons to buy organic products, but nutrition may not be one of them, suggests a new study, which found no difference in antioxidant (抗氧化剂) levels between organically and conventionally (常规地) grown onions, carrots, and potatoes.The study only looked at three types of vegetables and just a few select nutrients. But the experiment was part of a bigger project that was so systematic and strictly controlled that the findings likely apply to other crops, too.“Giving preference to organic products because they contain more bioactive components is doubtful and not supported by scientific evidence,” Knuthsen said. “Still, there are many good reasons for the consumer to select organic food products, including absence of pesticide residues (农药残留) in foods, animal welfare, and environmental protections.”Argument over whether organic produce is more nutritious than conventional varieties has been around for at least a decade, said Jeffrey Blumberg, director of the Antioxidants Research Laborat ory at Tufts University in Boston. “Some studies have suggested that organically grown plants contain higher levels of healthful antioxidants, possibly because some antioxidants act as natural fungicides (杀真菌剂), pesticides and insecticides,” he said. “The idea is that, without help from industrial chemicals, plants on organic farms need to work harder to protect themselves. They end up becoming more nutritious as a result.” But plenty of other studies have shown no such relationship.“I understand that org anic farmers would love to be able to say that theirs are super-fruits and super-vegetables because there are higher amounts of these compounds in them,” Blumberg said. “If you want to buy them because you think they’re saferfor the planet to grow things that way, or because you think pesticides are bad for you or your family, or you like that they come from a shorter distance away, that’s great.”“But if you want to buy them because they’re more nutritious, you’re confused, and we don’t know if that’s true or not.”1. The new study proves that .A. there are plenty of good reasons to buy organic produceB. nutrition is one of the good reasons to buy organic produceC. some organically and conventionally grown foods have the same antioxidant levelsD. organic produce is harmful to our health2. Why do people prefer organic products?A. Because they think organic products have no bioactive components.B. Because scientific evidence supports organic products can make them stronger.C. Because it’s proved that organic produce is more nutritiou s than conventional varieties.D. Because they think organic food products have no harmful things.3. The fourth paragraph mainly tells us .A. it’s unclear whether organic produce is more nutritious than conventional varietiesB. organically grown plants contain higher levels of healthful antioxidantsC. plants on organic farms need to work harder to protect themselvesD. plenty of other studies have shown no such relationship4. Which is NOT the reason for you to buy organic products according to Blumberg?A. There are higher amounts of these compounds in them.B. They’re safer for the planet to grow things that way.C. Pesticides are bad for you or your family.D. They are more nutritious.【参考答案】1—4、CDAD阅读理解。

“So what is Quintura?” you may ask. “I like the search engine I currently use, My Favorite Search Engine. Why do I need anything else? My Favorite Search Engine knows everything about every subject I am interested in and I can access all of the information available on the Web with My Favorite Search Engine.”“Oh, yes!” we answer. “Indeed! We have no doubt that you have chosen the best search engine for your own search purposes! We don’t want you to part with your favorite ─Yahoo, MSN or Google.”However, what if you think about searching in a different way. Have you ever raked through the paper card index of a big library? You have to find the necessary letter (or their combination), take the correct drawer, and start sorting through the cards. Ring any bells? After much time and effort, finally you find the long-awaited card!Of course web search engines take away the laborious task of sifting (筛选) through paper index cards. And if you know the book’s exact author and t itle, either search is easy ─ on the web or in a library. But what if you know only your general search scope? Neither the author’s name nor the book title. In a library, the only way out is to ask a librarian. But on the web, what do you do? You are on your own.Until now, Quintura is the very know-all librarian!Imagine a conversation between you and the search engine you use most often, My Favorite Search Engine (MFSE).You: I need some books on physics.MFSE: No problem. We have a lot of good literature.You: Oh. . . so many of them!MFSE: You asked for books on physics, here, I’ve found some more.You: No, I need only one branch of physics.MFSE: But I have all the branches! Thousands of books. Choose whatever you want.You: But I need the branch on solid movement: acceleration, friction and so on.MFSE: Here they are. Books on physics. . .Now imagine beginning the same conversation with Quintura (Qu).You: I need some books on physics.Qu: OK! We have a lot of good lit erature; what branch of physics do you need?You: Branch? I’m not sure of its name.Qu: What is your branch about?You: Solid movement: acceleration, friction and so on.Qu: Let’s see. Here is mechanics! Please note this list of books, our visitors mostly ask for these books on mechanics.You: Thank you.1. Quintura is the name of .A. a web search engineB. a well-known websiteC. a big libraryD. a librarian2. What is the purpose of the writer’s talking about the paper card index of a big library?A. To tell us how to find your book in a big library.B. To remind you of your school life.C. To advise you to think about searching in a different way.D. To prove the paper card index is worse than web search engines.3. In the writer’s opinion, if you know only your general search scope you’d better use .A. QuinturaB. YahooC. MSND. MFSE4. From the two conversations we can learn .A. MFSE can provide you with more books than QuinturaB. MFSE always offers you some useless informationC.

Ear ly­airport people suffer another“name〞.They are called exactly what they are—wimps(懦夫).I know I am an early­airport person for years.My luggage will get on the plane first,which makes it the last luggage they take off the plane after landing. Another strange thing:No matter how early I showed up,I was always told that someone had called two or three years ahead of me and asked for the best seat.I figured it was a trick.I figured there was someone in America who called every airline every day and said,“Is th at wimp Simon flying somewhere today?If he is,give me his seat.〞After a lifetime arguing with my wife over whether I really have to pack 24 hours in advance and set the alarm clock four hours ahead,I have learned another fact about early­airport people and late­airport people:They always marry each other.1.We can learn from the passage that________.A.late­airport persons often get ulcers or heart attacksB.early­airport persons are always relaxed during the flightC.early­airport persons get their lugga ge first after landingD.late­airport persons always take things easy解析:细节理解题。

A funny thing happened on the way to the communications revolution: we stopped talking to one another.I was walking in the park with a friend recently, and his cell phone rang, interrupting our conve rsation.There we were, walking and talking on a beautiful sunny day and (I)became invisible, absent from the conversation.The telephone used to connect you to the absent.Now it makes people sitting next to you feel absent.Why is it that the more connected we get, the more disconnected I feel? Every advance in communications technology is a tragedy to the closeness of human interaction.With e­mail and instant messaging over the Internet, we can now communicate without seeing or talking to one another.With voice mail, you can conduct entire conversations without ever reaching anyone.If my mom has a question, I just leave the answer on her machine.As almost every contact we can imagine between human beings gets automated, the alienation(疏远) index goes up. You can't even call a person to get the phone number of another person anymore.Directory assistance is almost always fully automated.I am not against modern technology.I own a cell phone, an ATM card, a voice­mail system, and an e­mail account.Giving them u p isn't wis e, they're a great help to us.It's some of their possible consequences that make me feel uneasy.More and more, I find myself hiding behind e­mail to do a job meant for conversation, or being relieved that voice mail picked up because I didn' t really have time to talk.The industry devoted to helping me keep in touch is making me lonelier, or at least facilitating my antisocial instincts.So I've put myself on technology restriction: no instant messaging with people who live near me, no cell­pho ning in the presence of friends, no letting the voice mail pick up when I'm at home.1.Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?A.The Advance of Communications TechnologyB.The Consequences of Modern TechnologyC.The Story of the Communications RevolutionD.The Automation of Modern Communications2.The sentence “Now it makes people sitting next to you feel absent” means that_________.A.the people sitting beside you have to go away to receive phone callB.you can hardly get in touch with the people sitting beside youC.modern technology makes it hard for people to have a face­to­face talkD.people can now go to work without going to the office3.The writer feels that the use of modern communications is _________.A.satisfying B.encouragingC.disappointing D.embarrassing4.The passage implies that ________.A.modern technology is bridging peopleB.modern technology is separating peopleC.modern technology is developing too fastD.modern technology is interrupting our communication5.What does the underlined word “facilitating” mean?A.加深 B.限制 C.帮助 D.装备【要点综述】本文主要论述现代技术的消极影响——现代技术的使用在疏远人与人之间的距离。

1. B 主旨大意题。

本文主要论述了现代技的影响。

2. C 句意理解题。

第一段作者提出:通讯革命使我们不再面对面地交谈;第二段作者举自己生活的一例来予以说明;第三段作者感慨“Now it makes people sitting next to you feel absent”,即其意应为:现在技术使人们很难有面对面的交谈。

故选C项。

3. D 推理判断题。

根据第五段可知,作者并不反对现代技术,也认为它极有帮助,只是某一些结果让他感到不安,比如第二段中他所举的生活例子。

由此判断他会认为使用现代技术有时令人感到尴尬,故选D项。

4. B 推理判断题。

根据第四段可推断现代技术正在疏远人们之间的关系,故选B项。

5. A 词义猜测题。

画线词所在的这一段主要在讲述现代技术对他的消极影响,因此他才决定限制自己对现代技术的使用。

由此判断画线词应意为“加深”,即:加重他的不爱交际的天性。

故选A项。

.If you have kids, you probably struggle over whether you should focus on working hard to make money and provide them with the best possible life, or if it’s more valuable to spend every moment that you can with them. But no matter which side of the fence you fall on, here’re some good news if you’re a parent: today’s parents are spending far more time with their children than generations past.A new study from economists at University of California, San Diego analyzes available data from the last 35 years to measure how much time parents are spending actively with their children, participating in activities such as taking them to school, helping with homework, bathing them, playing catch with them in the back yard.
