Ⅳ.阅读理解
Technology has entirely transformed our ability to communicate with each other. Linking to each other both literally and figuratively (形象地), many of us connect through cellphones, emails, instant messages, blogs，and networking websites, yet ironically we may be less connected to each other than we think.
According to a study to be published today in the American Sociological Review, Americans are becoming increasingly socially isolated. The study shows, for example，that one quarter of Americans say that they have no one to discuss important personal issues with, and that the number of close friends that Americans have has dropped from three to two. Meanwhile, the Boston Globe reports that this spreading isolation is experienced more seriously among those with less education，people of color, and older Americans. Unsurprisingly, those who are young, white, and well educated tend to have stronger social networks.
From my own experience I have to say that I've never felt more connected，thanks to a web of friends, family, and colleagues. One of
my closest friends is someone I met through an online discussion group who lives hundreds of miles away from me. We have m et face­to­face only twice, but our regular electronic correspondence (通信) and cellphone calls sustain our close friendship. And, speaking of blogging, my blog has introduced me to people I would never have met otherwise and has led to enduring (持久的) and important friendships.
On the other hand，I recently saw a scenario that demonstrated to me how deeply disconnected we as Americans have become. I had just wrapped up a presentation on mediation at a family therapy (治疗) center. As I was leaving，I noticed a mother and her teenage son who had just completed their session with their family therapist. After making their next appointment, they both took out their cellphones, made calls, and began loud conversations with whoever was on the other end. I walked out behind them to the parking lot to my car. They both jumped into their cars, and, as I saw them drive off，they were still talking on their cellphones. But，alas，not to each other.
1. What does the passage lead you to believe?
A. Americans are more socially connected today.
B. Americans are more socially isolated today.
C. Technology plays a bigger role in American society.
D. Americans don't make good use of technology.
答案：B 主旨大意题。

文章作者引述了一项研究表明人变得越来越孤立，人与人之间的交流愈来愈少。

2. Which of the following has nothing to do with the isolation among Americans?
A. Age.
B. Education.
C. Skin color.
D. Sex.
答案：D 细节理解题。

由文章第二段最后两句可知，受教育程度、肤色以及年龄的差异对一个人是否变得孤立都有影响，而没有提到性别。

3．What is TRUE about the mother and the son in the passage?
A．They came for therapy in the same car.
B．They were quite close to each other.
C．There was not much communication between them.
D．They preferred talking to each other on cellphones.
答案：C 细节理解题。

由文章最后一段中介绍的这对母子的情况来看，他们一直都在与他人通电话，而他们彼此之间却根本没有对话。

4．The author probably feels ________ with the mother and the son.
A. puzzled
B. disappointed
C. amused
D. surprised
答案：D 推理判断题。

由文章最后一段作者的叙述语气“...alas, not to each other”可体会到，作者对这对母子的行为感到吃惊。

参考范文：
China launched Chang'e­3 lunar probe successfully from Xichang Satellite Launch Center in the early morning on December 2nd, 2013. And on December 14th, Chang'e­3, consisting of a lander and a moon rover called “Yutu(Jade Rabbit)” soft landed on t he surface of the moon. So far, only the United States and the former Soviet Union have soft landed on the moon. In the next period, Chang'e will carry out a series of scientific experiments on the moon. Millions of Chinese including me watched the living broadcast on TV or on the Internet with pride. I think this is a very important step for china's exploration of space and it will not stop at the moon. There will be more achievements waiting for us to make. China will be more powerful in the near future. I hope I will make my own contribution.。
