Some people are so rude!Who sends an e­mail or a text message that just says “Thank you”?Who leaves a voice mail message rather than texts you?Who asks for a fact easily found on Google?Don't these people realize that they're wasting your time?Maybe I'm the rude one for not appreciating life's little politeness.But many social agreed standards just don't make sense to people drowning in digital communication.In texts,you don't have to declare who you are or even say hello.E­mail,too,is slower than a text.Voice mail is a now impolite way of trying to connect.My father learned this lesson after leaving me a dozen voice mail messages,none of which I listened to.Exasperated,he called my sister to express his dissatisfaction that I never returned his phone calls.“Why are you leaving him voice mail?”my sister asked.“Just text him.”In the age of the smartphone,there is no reason to ask once­acceptable questions about:the weather forecast,a business's phone number,or directions to a house,a restaurant,which can be easily found on Google Maps.But people still ask these things.And when you answer,they respond with a thank­you e­mail.How to handle these differing standards?Easy.Consider youraudience.Some people,especially older ones,appreciate a thank­you message.Others,like me,want no reply.The anthropologist(人类学家)Margaret Mead once said that in traditional societies,the young learn from the old.But in modern societies,the old can also learn from the young.Here's hoping that politeness never goes out of fashion but that time­wasting forms of communication do.1.What does the underlined word “Exasperated”mean in the fifth paragraph?A.Worried. B.Surprised.C.Annoyed. D.Tired.2.Why didn't the writer reply to his father?A.He liked text messages better.B.He enjoyed checking his voice mail.C.He didn't receive any voice mail messages.D.He didn't want to talk with his father.3.Which of the following does the writer agree to?A.People needn't learn from one another in traditional societies.B.Dealing with voice mail should vary with each individual.C.People needn't turn to Google for help when in trouble.D.Declaring who you are or saying hello in texts is necessary.4.What's the best title of this passage?A.Nowadays:what should we do with text messages?B.Nowadays:do you like leaving others a voice message?C.Nowadays:what means should we use in communication?D.Nowadays:do you need a thank­you message?【解题导语】本文是一篇议论文,主要讨论了如今在智能手机时代,人们应该选择何种方式进行沟通。

【难句分析】Here's hoping that politeness never goes out of fashion but that time­wasting forms of communication do.分析:本句是一个复合句。

两个that引导宾语从句,在从句中不作句子成分。

译文:希望礼貌永远不会过时,但是浪费时间的沟通方式会过时。

1.C考查词义猜测。

根据第五段第二句的“he called my sister to express his dissatisfaction that I never returned his phone calls”可知,作者的父亲对作者不给自己回电话很不满,由此可推知exasperated意思是“恼怒的,生气的”,故选C。

2.A考查推理判断。

根据第五段中的“‘Why are you leaving him voice mail?’my sister asked.‘Just text him.’”可推知,作者不喜欢用语音信箱,更偏爱发短信,故选A。

3.B考查推理判断。

根据第七段的内容可推知,标准是变化的,处理方式应该因人而异,而不是一刀切,语音信箱的使用亦是如此,故选B。

A项错在传统社会中的人们不需要向他人学习,这与最后一段第一句“The anthropologist(人类学家)Margaret Mead once said that in traditional societies,the young learn from the old”相悖;C项错在人们有麻烦不需要借助Google,这与第六段的内容不符;D项错在在短信里表明你是谁或问好是有必要的,这与第四段第一句“In texts, you don't have to declare who you are or even say hello”相悖,故排除。

4.C考查标题判断。

根据对文章内容的整体理解可知,第三段引入本文话题,最后两段点题总结,本文主要讨论的是如今(在智能手机时代)我们应该用何种方式沟通,故选C项。

A项错在只提及了现在我们应该如何应对短信,这忽略了文章中有关语音信息的内容,有以偏概全之嫌;B项错在只提及了你是否喜欢留语音信息给他人,这也只是文章的一部分,而非全部;D项错在现在是否需要留感谢信息,这只是文章中提到的一小部分内容,而非文章主旨,故排除。

二、阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
