第二部分阅读理解

此部分共有2篇短文，每篇短文后有5个问题，每个问题后有4个选项，请你从A, B, C, D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

My friend Mike was shaking his head in disbelief. "That young woman who just waited on me," he said, pointing to an employee of the fast food restaurant where we were eating, "had to call someone over to help her count change. The cash register (现金出纳机) showed her I needed 99 cents, but she couldn't figure out how to count out the coins." I understood Mike's concern. What we have done in this country, although unintentionally, is to create several generations of individuals most of whom have no idea how to reason; how to do simple math; how to do research; or, finally, how to be creative (有创造力的). The reason for this is our overuse of information technology: video games, television, digital watches, calculators, and computers. Information technology feeds us information without requiring us to think about it and let us perform operations without understanding them.

It is time we took a hard look at an educational system that only teaches our children how to push buttons. Our kids can't tell time if the clock has hands. They can use calculators, but cannot add, subtract, divide, or multiply. Video games have taken the place of active, imaginative play. Although most of them are technically literate, they choose not to read. They are so used to television and movies that they cannot use their imagination to stay interested in a book.

It is not enough to recognize that a problem exists. What we need is a solution. The one I offer is simple to suggest, but may be impossible to carry out. We must unplug our children. If we don't, they will never learn how to solve problems. They will never learn even basic reasoning skills and will certainly not develop creativity. Instead of filling classrooms with electronics, let's concentrate on good old-fashioned literacy ― reading books. Students must be taught not to perform computer operations by rote (死记), but to figure and reason for themselves. They must see how things work and how processes lead to results, they must also stretch their imagination.

6. What is the problem with the employee of the fast food restaurant?

A. She does not know how to operate the cash register.

B. She is unable to solve simple math problems.

C. She lacks coins for customers.

D. She does not know how to count coins.

正确答案：B

题目解析：细节推断题。从第一段中“…she couldn't figure out how to count out the coins…”（她不能解决如何去点硬币的数目的问题）可以推断出她不能解决好简单的数学问题，所以正确答案为B“她不能解决简单的数学问题”。

7. What is Mike's concern?

A. People now rely too much on information technology.

B. Many restaurants now do not provide good service.

C. Modern technology feeds us too much information.

D. We are creating people who can.

正确答案：D

题目解析：推断题。第一段中都在说借助电子工具不去自己思考，在最后一段里也提到了“Students must be taught not to perform computer operations by rote (死记), but to figure and re ason for themselves.”（学生们必须被教导不要通过运用电脑程序去死记，而要去独自思考和得出结论）所以只有D准确,正确答案为D“我们正在创造那些不能独自思考的人”。

8. For children to be interested in reading, they must _____.

A. have an imaginative mind

B. be given the right books

C. turn off their television sets

D. have a large enough vocabulary

正确答案：A

题目解析：细节推断题。从第二段最后一句“They are so used to television and movies that they cannot use their imagination to stay interested in a book.”（孩子们对电视和电影是如此的依赖，以至于他们不能运用他们自己的想象力去对读物感兴趣）可以推断出来正确答案为A“由于孩子们对阅读感兴趣，他们一定具有富有想象力的思维”。

9. What solution does the author suggest to our children's problem?

A. Get them off TV and computer games.

B. Turn off all electronic equipment at school.

C. Teach them how to learn from video games.
