Question

9．[1]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．But I became in visible，absent from the conversation．
[2]The telephone used to connect you to the absent．Now it makes people sitting next to you feel absent．Recently I was in a car with three friends．The driver told us to be quiet because he could not hear the person on the other end of his cell phone．There we were，four friends going down the highway，unable to talk to one another because of a tool designed to make communication easier．
[3]Why is it that the more connected we get，____________？Every advance in communications technology is a hurt to the closeness of human interaction （互動(dòng)）．With e-mail 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．
[4]More and more．l find myself hiding behind e-mail 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．
[5]So I've put myself on technology restriction：no instant messaging with people who live near me，no cell-phoning in the presence of friends，no letting the voice mail pick up when I'm home．

76．What does the author say about communications technology according to the first two paragraphs？（within 15words）
The cell phone gets in the way of face?to?face communication
77．Which sentences in the text is the closest in meaning to the following one？
However，I felt left out as if we were not conducting the conversation．
But I became invisible，absent from the conversation．
78．Fill in the blanks in Paragraph 3with proper words．（within 10words）
the more disconnected I feel/the lonelier we feel/the farther away we seem to be/the more left out we feel
79．Does the author restrict his own activity to improving the situation？（within 15words）
Yes．For example，he doesn't contact people living near him with instant messaging．/
80．Translate the underlined sentences in Paragraph 4into Chinese．
我發(fā)現(xiàn)自己越來越頻繁地借用電子郵件回避面對(duì)面交談．

Answer 1

分析 本文主要論述現(xiàn)代技術(shù)的消極影響--現(xiàn)代技術(shù)的使用在疏遠(yuǎn)人與人之間的距離．

解答 76．The cell phone gets in the way of face?to?face communication．/Communications technology is interfering with human contact．/It does harm to the closeness of human interaction．/It is a hurt to the closeness of human interaction．細(xì)節(jié)題．通過這兩段的描述可知，現(xiàn)代化的通信工具讓我們彼此越來越疏遠(yuǎn)．
77．But I became invisible，absent from the conversation．所給句子的意思是：我感覺好像我被丟棄一樣，我們似乎不是在對(duì)話一樣．
78．the more disconnected I feel/the lonelier we feel/the farther away we seem to be/the more left out we feel細(xì)節(jié)題．根據(jù)后句Every advance in communications technology is a hurt to the closeness of human interaction 可知，現(xiàn)代化通信工具使我們?cè)骄o密聯(lián)系，越感覺孤獨(dú)．
79．Yes．For example，he doesn't contact people living near him with instant messaging．/Yes．For example，he doesn't use his cell?phone in the presence of friends．/Yes．He doesn't let the voice mail pick up when he is at home．細(xì)節(jié)題．最后一段no instant messaging with people who live near me，no cell-phoning in the presence of friends，no letting the voice mail pick up when I'm home．告訴我們作者做了一些嘗試來改變自己．
80．我發(fā)現(xiàn)自己越來越頻繁地借用電子郵件回避面對(duì)面交談．/越來越多地，我發(fā)現(xiàn)本應(yīng)該用對(duì)話交流來解決的事情，自己卻用不用露面的電子郵件來做．/本該通過對(duì)話交流來解決的事情，我卻發(fā)現(xiàn)自己越來越多地通過不用當(dāng)面交談的電子郵件來做．在翻譯時(shí)注意短語more and more意思是越來越多，find oneself doing 發(fā)現(xiàn)某人正在做某事．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 閱讀表達(dá)需要考試細(xì)心耐心的將找到的信息源進(jìn)行二次加工處理，通過整合，比較，替換等方式形成需要的答案．
