阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

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

conversation.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 up isn't wise, 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 cell­phoning 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 Technology

B.The Consequences of Modern Technology

C.The Story of the Communications Revolution

D.The Automation of Modern Communications

2．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 call

B．you can hardly get in touch with the people sitting beside you

C．modern technology makes it hard for people to have a face­to­face talk

D．people can now go to work without going to the office

3．The writer feels that the use of modern communications is _________.

A．satisfying B．encouraging

C．disappointing D．embarrassing

4．The passage implies that ________.

A．modern technology is bridging people

B．modern technology is separating people

C．modern technology is developing too fast

D．modern technology is interrupting our communication

5．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。

Tropical fish hobbyists will tell you their tanks are a source of

relaxation，but recent research suggests the fish might disagree.

Many American households contain a fish tank，whose average size is less than

10 gallons.Yet a study comparing the behavior of common freshwater

fish found that those kept in such small tanks were more aggressive

than those in larger ones and were more likely to fight.

“If people kept dogs in these conditions，they'd be put in prison，” said the author，Ronald

Oldfield.“In larger tanks，the fish were not in continuous eyesight of each other.They were

swimming around，checking everything out rather than beating each other，” he added.“It's

something we should think about.”

The study consisted of two experiments.In one，Dr.Oldfield tested the effects of overcrowding

by keeping tank size constant (不变) while increasing the number of fish.In the other，he tested

environment by placing three fish in tanks of different sizes.He then recorded their behavior

at least two hours after feeding，to eliminate (排除)competitive behaviors related to food.While

aggression seemed to remain constant regardless of the number of fish in a tank，it dropped off

When was the last time you did something really fun with one of your parents—just

the two of you?

Parents who take their young children to music，swimming and art classes often stop

arranging such activities once their kids are older and in school all day.But it

doesn’t have to be that way.Doing something enjoyable with your kids just might make

you look at each other in a whole new way，especially if you do it through a class

or an event.When parent and child become students together，it puts them on the same

level，at least for a while.

“I really like parents to come to class with their kids—they start sharing things

and talking about what they’re doing and what they like，” said art teacher Pyper

Dixon.

However，finding something new in common is a big choice for them，especially when

The “Give It Up for Earth Day” encourages people to commit to giving up actions that

are harmful to the environment, such as using poisonous cleaners.

Throughout the month of April, Canadians are being asked to “Give It Up for Earth

Day！” Earth Day has been celebrated every year on April 22 since 1970. Earth Day Canada

president Jed Goldberg says that as people become more environmentally aware, they

want to find ways to reduce their environmental influence, not just celebrate one

special event.

“Earth Day is a great launching_pad for thinking about environmental action

every day，” said Goldberg. “Choosing healthier options, even for the short term,

can lead to thinking about the influence of our decisions for a lifetime.”
