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 suddenly, 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 communication 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 emotional distance index goes up. You can’t even call a person to get the phone number of another person any more. Directory assistance is almost always fully automated.
I am not against modern technology. I own a cell phone, an ATM card, a voice-mail 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 conversations or being relieved with voice-mail picking up because I don"t really have time to talk. The industry devoted to helping me keep in touch is making me lonelier.
小题1:Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?

解析
试题解析：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。
小题1:B 主旨大意题。开篇点题，第一段：一件奇怪的事情发生在信息革命的路上,我们停止了相互交谈（这就是信息革命的结果）。下面通过实例来说明通讯革命带来的结果。A. The Advance of Modern Technology现代技术的进步B. The Consequences of Communication Technology信息革命的结果C. The Story of Communication Revolution信息革命的故事D. The Automation of Modern Communication现代通讯自动化。
所以B正确。

小题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。
小题4:B推理判断题。根据倒数第二段The industry devoted to helping me keep in touch is making me lonelier.致力于帮助人们保持联系的产业使我更加孤独和第三段开头The telephone used to connect you to the absent. Now it makes people sitting next to you feel absent.电话用来连接不在场的人。现在它让坐在你旁边的人感觉不在场似的，可推断现代技术正在疏远人们之间的关系，故选B项

It is always more important to know how to study by oneself than to learn some facts or a formula by heart. It is actually quiet easy to learn a certain fact in history or a formula(公式) in mathematics. But it is very difficult to use a formula in working out a maths problem. Great scientist, such as Einstein, Newton and Galileo, didn’t get everything from school. But they were all so successful and invented so many things for men. They worked hard all their lives, wasting not a single moment. They would ask many questions as they read and they did thousands of experiments.

Today’s consumer faces a wider range of choices than ever before, Add to that the steady stream of sales campaigns, and shopping smart only gets harder. To buy economically and reduce waste, safeguard health and protect the environment, you’ll need to follow some basic principles and have a clear idea of what you want.
1. Do Your Homework
Before making any major purchase, take the time to research it. Plentiful resources are usually available online. Avoid buying in a hurry, and don’t be persuaded by overenthusiastic salespeople. Sleep on it if necessary—you won’t regret giving yourself some extra time to think.
2. Take the Long View
Consider the running costs as well as the initial price of any item you buy. Many environmentally friendly products cost more to buy, but save you money in the long run. Choose items that are made to last. For example, pick a sofa that has a hardwood or steel frame rather than one made of softwood, which may break easily.
3. Skip the Disposable Option
Buy reusable products like washable cloth towels, handkerchiefs, serviettes（餐巾）and cleaning cloths rather than paper, single-use varieties. Avoid other disposable supplies like cups, glasses, and chopsticks, too.
4. Take the Local Route
Buy local products that are in season. It’s usually cheaper and fresher and has less harm to the environment. Markets and roadside stands are good sources. Some supermarkets also buy from local producers. Support it if you have one.
5. Avoid Wasteful Packaging
Better not buy products that have too much packaging. It’s estimated that approximately 10 percent of every shopping bill is actually paying for packaging—which you normally just throw away! Moreover, significant amounts of energy are used in the production of packaging. Purchasing refillable and renewable containers can also help cut this kind of waste.

| A．Protection of the Planet |
| B．Green Shopping Principles |
| C．Environmentally Friendly Products |
| D．Resource Conservation |
| A．think it over | B．forget about it |
| C．set it aside | D．put it into action |
| A．Because they are less expensive to buy. |
| B．Because they save money in the long run. |
| C．Because they will never break. |
| D．Because they are local products. |
| A．Following the stream of sales campaigns. |
| B．Buying disposable chopsticks. |
| C．Focusing on packaging. |
| D．Purchasing from local markets. |

What has destroyed part of the ozone layer? Scientists do not know for sure. They suspect that our popular spray cans (喷漆罐) have played a part in the damage. Many spray cans contain dangerous gases. These gases might have destroyed the ozone layer fifteen miles above the earth’s surface, The chemicals used in refrigerators (冰箱) and air conditioners may contribute to the problem, too.
Many scientists believe that the destruction of the ozone layer is a serious problem for people everywhere. Global warming could change weather patterns around the world. Farmers and ranchers(牧场主) could find it more and more difficult to produce enough food for the earth’s people. If more of the sun’s dangerous rays reached the earth, there also could be an increase in skin cancers. Some skin cancers might cause people to die. Although some scientists do not believe there is a serious danger, obviously no one wants to take any chance on such a possibility.
Can scientists repair the hole in the ozone layer? They really don’t know the answer to that question. Can people do anything to save the ozone layer that the earth still has? Scientists stress the need to limit the use of spray cans and other items that contain the dangerous gases. This will not be an easy task. People all over the world use these items. Solving the problem certainly will require commitment and cooperation from everyone.
小题1:The ozone layer exists to _____.

| D．people all over the world use items containing dangerous gases |
When you speak in your native language, you don"t have to think about the grammar or the words you use. Correct sentences just come to you. In fact, your brain uses sentences you"ve already seen or heard. If you want to speak a foreign language fluently, you have to learn it the way you learned your native language--- by massive(大量的) input.
Reading and listening will help you develop language intuition(直觉). It"s all about putting lots of correct sentences in your head. Then your brain can imitate them, producing similar sentences to express the meaning you want. When you read and listen a lot, paying attention to useful vocabulary, you will soon start to use new words and phrases in your speaking and writing, and you will develop language intuition. You will start to feel what sounds good and what sounds bad --- just as you do in your native language.
It may seem like you need more time to learn a language by reading and listening, as opposed （相反的）to learning based on grammar rules. For example, to get a good feeling for the use of articles in English you need to read lots of sentences, analyzing them closely. Wouldn"t it be easier to read a unit on articles in a grammar book? Well, the problem is that it takes lots of time to build a sentence when you have to think of grammar rules. When you talk to someone, you don"t have time for that. The input-based approach may seem to be more demanding, but it"s the only way to achieve fluency.
小题1:According to the passage, if you want to speak a foreign language like a native speaker, you must_________.
| A．learn grammar very well |
| B．input many sentences in your head |
| C．read many books in the foreign language |
| D．write many compositions |
| A．Ability to understand a foreign language |
| B．Ability to use a foreign language without thinking about it |
| C．Ability to speak a foreign language |
| D．Ability to imitate a native speaker |
| A．Listening and Reading |
| B．Writing and Listening |
| C．Reading and Translating |
| D．Listening and Translating |
| A．You can speak your native language without think about grammar |
| B．Before you can speak your native you must hear millions of sentences |
| C．The input-based approach is the only way to speak a language fluently |
| D．Grammar is no use at all |
