三、阅读理解
22. “People are ruder today because they are rushed and more ‘time poor’ than ever before，” says Patsy Rowe, “Manners_have_fallen_off_the_radar(雷达)．” Due to our strong attraction to electronic equipment it is a wonder more people don't wake up each morning and greet the singing birds with a complaint(抱怨)about the noise. Here are some examples of rudeness.
Some people prefer to do almost everything over the Internet. To them, dealing with an actual human needs more patience. It feels very slow because humans don't work at 4G speeds. When you have dinner with friends, you will often notice someone paying more attention to his mobile phone. We have programmed ourselves to think that every new message brings life－
changing news, so taking calls and checking our texts are more important than talking to the people we are with. What is worse, some people even tend to send anonymous(匿名的) rude messages by email.
However, rudeness is never acceptable. Don't assume it is OK to be rude if the person you're in touch with won't recognize you. If you have something awful to say, have the courage to face the person and say it, write a letter or email and sign it, or forget it. Upsetting people with unsigned messages is cruel and disgusting.（令人厌恶的）
We shouldn't blame technology for our shortcomings. Technology is here to help us，but we should not allow it to take over our lives. An important step is acknowledging our shortcomings. People spend a lot of time pointing out bad manners but it would be even more helpful if we'd publicly acknowledge good manners when we see them.
32．What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1?
A．People can tell good from bad behavior.
B．Radar is able to observe human behavior.
C．People care little about their behavior.
D．Radar can be used to predict human behavior.
33．Some people are less willing to deal with humans because ________．A．they are becoming less patient
B．they are growing too independent
C．they have to handle many important messages
D．they have to follow an evolutionary step backward
34．The author thinks sending unsigned awful messages is ________．
A．ridiculous B．disgusting
C．acceptable D．reasonable
35．What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A．We should applaud （为喝彩）good behavior.
B．Technology can never be blamed.
C．We should keep pointing out mistakes.
D．Technology will take over our lives one day.
参考答案：
32．C
33．A
34．B
35．A
试题分析：随着电子产品的出现，人们用在电话、电脑和网络上的时间多了，在现实生活中人与人之间的联系少了，而且人们也逐渐变得没有耐心，失去了本该有的礼貌，甚至通过网络进行侮辱别人的行为。

作者认为改变这一切的方法不是要责怪网络，责怪人类的缺点，而是要弘扬正能量。

32. C推理判断题。

从文章首句“People are ruder today because they are rushed and more ‘time poor’ than ever before,” 和第一段末句Here are some examples of rudeness.可知第一段讲述人们现在不注重礼貌了，由此推断C选项正确，意思是人们对他们的行为举止不在意了。

23. Mapping Your World
Different forms of maps are appearing. They allow independent travelers to get local knowledge of places they are visiting, from the official to the unusual. Meanwhile, hi-tech developments are creating new ways for us to map the world. Here are two of our favorites: Green Maps
Green Maps allows people to share with the world their knowledge of environmentally friendly places and attractions in the local areas. Users add information with a set of icons (图标), making it easy to read any map, whatever the nationalities of those who produce it. At present there are over five hundred map projects being developed in 54 countries. Green Maps’ advertised idea is “think global, map local”. It is a wonderful way of gaining all sorts of
information of a place, ranging from community gardens to good places of birdwatching.
Green Maps is not specifically intended for travelers. Not all of its maps are online, so it may be necessary for some users to communicate with producers through the Green Maps website.
Maps Mashups
Many people use online maps developed by Google, but not many know about the mashups of them. Working in a similar way to Green Maps, Maps Mashups allows people to add icons of their own to existing maps to express a certain topic. The mashups is so called because it combines all the knowledge you could ever need. It ranges from the extremely useful, such as where all the World Heritage Sites are, to the most bizarre, such as where America’s drunkest cities are. With the mashups added to the basic Google Maps, a multi-layered (多层的) map can be created.
61. According to the passage, which of the following is a characteristic of Green Maps?
A. Aiming at environmental protection.
B. Offering advice to independent travelers.
C. Introducing local attractions with icons.
D. Collecting icons worldwide for local maps.
62. Which of the following icons is most probably NOT used in Green Maps?
63. Map Mashups is named with the word “mashups” because _________.
A. it is a branch of Google Maps
B. it shares icons with Green Maps
C. it gathers various kinds of information
D. it is produced by users all over the world
64. What does the underlined word “bizarre” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. common
B. distinct
C. usual
D. strange
65. What do Green Maps and Map Mashups have in common?
A. They are created by local people.
B. Users can edit maps on the Internet.
C. They are environmentally friendly.
D. Users need to communicate with produces.
