9.Anna Schiferl hadn't even got out of bed when she reached for her cell phone and typed a text to her mum,one recent Saturday.Mom was right downstairs in the kitchen.The text?Anna wanted an egg for breakfast.Soon after,Joanna Schiferl called,"If you want to talk to me,Anna,come downstairs and see me?"Anna laughs about it now."I was kind of being lazy,"she admits.
    These days,many people with cell phones prefer texting to a phone call.And that's creating a communication divide-the talker vs.the texters.Some would argue that it's no big deal.But many experts say the most successful communicators will,of course,have the competence to do both.And they fear that more of us are unable to have-or at least are avoiding-the traditional face-to-face conversations.
    Many professors say it is not common to see students outside of class."I sit in my office hours lonely now because if my students have a question,they email me,often late at night,"says Rence Hosuton,a professor at the University of Puget Sound in Washington state."And they never call."
    As Anna sees it:"There are people you'll text,but won't call.It's just a way to stay in touch with each other."Some believe that scores of texts each day keep people more connected."The problem is that conversation is not very deep,"says Joseph Grenny,co-author of the book Cultural Conversations:Tools for Talking When Stakes Are High.
"The problem has been there since we've had telephones-probably since the time of a telegraph,"Grenny says.Texting is just the latest way to do that.Though they may not always be so good at deep conversations themselves,Grenny suggests that parents model the behavior for their children and put down their own cell phones.He says that they also should set limits,as Anna's mom did when she made the"no texting to people in the same house"rule.

A.was very strict with her daughter            
B.did not know how to use a cell phone
C.was angry that her daughter got up late

D.Many email her if she feels lonely.
30.In Joseph Grenny's opinion,D.
A.cell phone makes people lonelier
B.telephone help people communicate clearly
C.texting helps people have deeper conversations
D.talking should be encouraged instead of texting
31.What is the main idea of the text?C
A.It tells us a wonderful experience of Anna Schiferl.
B.It introduces a new tool used for communication.
C.It discusses the problem caused by sending texts.
D.It talks about the important role of phones in our life.

分析 文章通過一個(gè)例子引發(fā)手機(jī)短信給我們的生活帶來了便捷,但同時(shí)也帶來了一些問題,呼吁我們還是要面對(duì)面的溝通和交流.

解答 A C D C
28.A 細(xì)節(jié)題.根據(jù)第一段的描述If you want to talk to me,Anna,come downstairs and see me?"可知,Joanna對(duì)女兒要求是很嚴(yán)格的.
29.C 細(xì)節(jié)題.在文章的第三段 Many professors say it is not common to see students outside of class.可知,她的學(xué)生們都通過短信的方式進(jìn)行問問題,很少面對(duì)面的交流.
30.D推理題.通過最后一段Though they may not always be so good at deep conversations themselves這句話得出Joseph Grenny認(rèn)為還是要鼓勵(lì)面對(duì)面的交流而不是通過手機(jī)短信.
31.C主旨大意.通過全文的介紹以及最后 一段專家的建議可知,Texting is just the latest way to do that.Though they may not always be so good at deep conversations themselves手機(jī)短信可能是最快的方式但不是最好的溝通方式.所以文章探討手機(jī)短信所帶來的一些問題.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 做閱讀理解時(shí)要快速的瀏覽全文,把握文章主旨大意,帶著問題回到原文,尋找細(xì)節(jié)或概括相應(yīng)的答案,最后要理清作者寫作思路.

17.Cold weather has a great effect on how our minds and our bodies work.Maybe that is why there are so many expressions that use the word cold.For centuries,the body's blood has been linked closely with the emotions.People who show no human emotions or feelings,for example,are said to be cold-blooded.Cold-blooded people act in merciless ways.They may do cruel things to others,and not by accident.For example,a newspaper says the police are searching for a cold-blooded killer.The killer murdered someone,not in self-defense.He seemed to kill with no emotion.
Cold can affect other parts of the body,the feet,for example.Heavy socks can warm your feet,if your feet are really cold.But there is an expression-to get cold feet-that has nothing to do with cold or your feet.The expression means being afraid to do something you had decided to do.For example,you agree to be president of an organization.But then you learn that all the other officers have resigned.All the work of the organization will be your responsibility.You are likely to get cold feet about being president when you understand the situation.
Cold can also affect your shoulder.You give someone the cold shoulder when you refuse to speak to them.You treat them in a distant,cold way.The expression probably comes from the physical act of turning your back toward someone,instead of speaking to him face-to-face.You may give a cold shoulder to a friend who has not kept a promise he made to you.Or,to someone who has lied about you to others.
A cold fish is not a fish.It is a person.But it is a person who is unfriendly,unemotional and shows no love or warmth.A cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone.
Out in the cold is an expression often heard.It means not getting something that everybody else got.A person might say that everybody but him got a pay raise.He was left out in the cold.And it is not a pleasant place to be.

21.The text is intended to tell us thatB.
A.cold weather has a great effect on human bodies.
B.many English expressions contain the word cold.
C.cold is a word all used to describe human emotions.
D.the word cold has many different meanings in English.
22.Which of the following can best describe a person who is unwilling to offer anything to others?D
A.Cold-blooded.          B.To get cold feet.
C.A cold shoulder.       D.A cold fish.
23.If a teacher gives all the boys except Tom a pen as a prize,you can say TomC.
A.is given the cold shoulder.
B.is punished by a cold fish.
C.is left out in the cold.
D.has got cold feet.
24.The five expressions mentioned in the text allA.
A.have a negative meaning.
B.come from physical acts.
C.relate to a kind of animal.
D.have a connection with the human body.

4.According to ReelSEO.com,a website about video marketing,there are more than 2 million cat videos on YouTube.People have watched these videos more than 25 billion times,which equates to an average of 12,000 views per cat video.I couldn't help but wonder:Who is so drawn to this type of content?And what effects do cat-related media have on viewers?
These questions encouraged my initial search to gather data on the Internet cat phenomenon.I scoured academic databases to see what the literature could tell me but found no existing data about why people watched so many cat videos online or what effects these videos might have on us.
So I decided to find out myself.My neighborhood Internet celebrity feline(貓)-the adorable Lil Bub,who happens to also live in Bloomington,Indiana-shared the link on her website after I launched an online survey.With Bub's help,the survey quickly got nearly 7,000 respondents.The results from this study suggested that certain people are more likely than others to view large amounts of Internet cat videos.It also showed that cat videos can positively influence the emotions of viewers.
According to my study,if you currently own or have previously owned a cat,of if you've volunteered to assist pets in the past years,you're more likely to watch cat videos.Cat video viewers also spent more time online than other participants,tended to be more agreeable and shy,and felt they had adequate emotional support in their lives.
The data also revealed information about the nature of audience interactions with online cat media.Three-quarters of respondents did not actively seek out cat content.Instead,they happened upon it in the course of their daily Internet use,Still,online cat videos aren't all about passive consumption.Many people also produce their own cat-related media to post online,which often increases comments and likes.
 But I really wanted to learn what effects watching online cat videos might have on viewers.People in my study reported experiencing more positive emotions and having higher energy levels after watching cat videos than before.They also reported lower levels of negative emotions after viewing online cat-related content.In short,most of us get a little psychological pick-me-up when we watch Lil Bub climb the stairs.
32.What does the underlined word"scoured"in Paragraph 2 mean?A
A.Searched.B.Copied.C.Created.D.Recorded.
33.How did the author begin her study on cat videos?C
A.By the questionnaire.
B.By referring to previous studies.
C.By surveying on the Internet.
D.By producing cat videos.
34.According to the author's study,C.
A.it's hard to avoid Internet cats when people look through the Internet     
B.if people don't have a cat now,they are not likely to watch cat videos     
C.when looking through the Internet,most people would make comments on cat content
D.people who watch act videos are less active and have less support
35.What's the author's attitude to watching cat videos?D
A.Unclear.B.Contradictory.C.Doubted.D.Positive.
