Question

【題目】 When you set a foot outside of your door to drop trash, go to a social event or go for a walk, thoughts like “I hope I don't see anyone I know” or “please don’ t talk to me” may run through your mind. I’ ve also said such things to myself. Sometimes the last thing you want to do is talk with someone, especially someone new.

Why do we go out of our ways to avoid people? Do we think meeting new people is a waste of time? Or are we just lazy, thinking that meeting someone new really is a trouble?

Communication is the key to life. We have been told that many times. Take the past generations, like our parents, for example. They seem to take full advantage of that whole “communication” idea because they grew up talking face to face while Generation-Y grew up staring at screens. We spend hours of our days sitting on Facebook. We send messages to our friends and think about all of the things we want to say to certain people that we don't have the courage to actually do in reality.

Nowadays, we are so caught up in our little circle of friends — our comfort zone. We love it that they laugh at our jokes, understand our feelings and can read our minds. Most importantly, they know when we want to be alone. They just get us.

Holding a conversation with someone new means agreeing with things that you don’t actually believe and being someone you think they want you to be — it is, as I said before, a trouble. It takes up so much energy, and at some point or another, it is too tiring.

But meeting new people is important. Life is too short, so meet all the people you can meet, make the effort to go out and laugh. Remember, Every “hello” leads to a smile — and a smile is worth a lot.

【1】D

【2】A

【3】A

【4】C

【解析】

這是一篇議論文。文章主要講了如今，年輕一代人總是依靠互聯(lián)網(wǎng)進(jìn)行社交活動(dòng)，但卻不愿意在真實(shí)的世界中與人交往，但是在真實(shí)的世界中結(jié)識(shí)新人是很重要的。作者鼓勵(lì)人們結(jié)識(shí)新人。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段I’ ve also said such things to myself. Sometimes the last thing you want to do is talk with someone, especially someone new.（我也對(duì)自己說(shuō)過(guò)這樣的話(huà)。有時(shí)候你最不想做的事情就是和別人交談，尤其是和陌生人。）可知作者有時(shí)害怕和別人說(shuō)話(huà)。故選D。

【2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段We spend hours of our days sitting on Facebook. We send messages to our friends and think about all of the things we want to say to certain people that we don't have the courage to actually do in reality.（我們每天花幾個(gè)小時(shí)坐在“臉書(shū)”上。我們給我們的朋友發(fā)信息，思考我們想對(duì)某些人說(shuō)的那些我們?cè)诂F(xiàn)實(shí)中沒(méi)有勇氣去說(shuō)的事情。）由此推斷出，在作者看來(lái)，年輕一代的問(wèn)題是他們依靠互聯(lián)網(wǎng)進(jìn)行社交活動(dòng)。故選A。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段Holding a conversation with someone new means agreeing with things that you don’t actually believe and being someone you think they want you to be — it is, as I said before, a trouble. It takes up so much energy, and at some point or another, it is too tiring.（和新認(rèn)識(shí)的人交談意味著同意你不相信的事情，成為他們希望你成為的人——就像我之前說(shuō)的，這是一個(gè)麻煩。它需要如此多的精力，在某些時(shí)候，它太累人了。）可知許多年輕人不愿結(jié)識(shí)新朋友是因?yàn)樗麄冋J(rèn)為這很麻煩。故選A。

【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段But meeting new people is important. Life is too short, so meet all the people you can meet, make the effort to go out and laugh. Remember, Every “hello” leads to a smile — and a smile is worth a lot.（但是認(rèn)識(shí)新人是很重要的。生命太短暫，所以遇到所有你能遇到的人，努力走出去笑一笑。記住，每個(gè)“你好”都能帶來(lái)一個(gè)微笑——而一個(gè)微笑是很有價(jià)值的。）由此推斷出，作者寫(xiě)這篇文章是為了鼓勵(lì)人們結(jié)識(shí)新人。故選C。

細(xì)節(jié)理解題大多是根據(jù)文章中的具體信息如事實(shí)、例證、原因、過(guò)程、論述等進(jìn)行提問(wèn)的。抓住文段中的事實(shí)和細(xì)節(jié)是做好該題型的關(guān)鍵，也是做好其它類(lèi)型問(wèn)題的基礎(chǔ)。該題型幾乎都可以在文章中直接找到與答案有關(guān)的信息，或是其變體。在一篇短文里大部分篇幅都屬于這類(lèi)圍繞主體展開(kāi)的細(xì)節(jié)。做這類(lèi)題一般采用尋讀法，即先讀題，然后帶著問(wèn)題快速閱讀短文，找出與問(wèn)題和選項(xiàng)有關(guān)的詞語(yǔ)或句子，再對(duì)相關(guān)部分進(jìn)行分析對(duì)比，找出答案。正確選項(xiàng)雖然一般不是原文照搬，但是一般是原文的改寫(xiě)，意思不變。如換一個(gè)同義詞，把否定改為肯定，把肯定改為否定等。如第3小題，根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段Holding a conversation with someone new means agreeing with things that you don’t actually believe and being someone you think they want you to be — it is, as I said before, a trouble. It takes up so much energy, and at some point or another, it is too tiring.（和新認(rèn)識(shí)的人交談意味著同意你不相信的事情，成為他們希望你成為的人——就像我之前說(shuō)的，這是一個(gè)麻煩。它需要如此多的精力，在某些時(shí)候，它太累人了。）可知許多年輕人不愿結(jié)識(shí)新人是因?yàn)樗麄冋J(rèn)為這很麻煩。故選A。
