When you get in your car, you reach for it.When you’re at work, you take a break to have a moment alone with it.When you get into a lift, you play with it.
Cigarettes? Cup of coffee? No, it’s the third most addictive thing in modern life, the cell phone.And experts say it is becoming more difficult for many people to curbtheir longing to hug it more tightly than most of their personal relationships.
With its shiny surface, its smooth and satisfying touch, its air of complexity, the cell phone connects us to the world even as it disconnects us from people three feet away.In just the past couple of years, the cell phone has challenged individuals, employers, phone makers and counselors(顾问)in ways its inventors in the late 1940s never imagined.
The costs are becoming even more evident, and I don’t mean just the monthly bill.Dr.Chris Knippers, a counselor at the Betty Ford Center in Southern California, reports that the overuse of cell phones has become a social problem not much different from other harmful addictions: a barrier to one-on-one personal contact, and an escape from reality.
Sounds extreme, but we’ve all witnessed the evidence: The person at a restaurant who talks on the phone through an entire meal, ignoring his kids around the table; the woman who talks on the phone in the car, ignoring her husband; the teen who texts messages all the way home from school, avoiding contact with kids all around him.
Is it just rude, or is it a kind of unhealthiness? And pardon me, but how is this improving the quality of life?
Jim Williams, an industrial sociologist based in Massachusetts, notes that cell-phone addiction is part of a set of symptoms in a widening gulf of personal separation.He points to a study by Duke University researchers that found one-quarter of Americans say they have no one to discuss their most important personal business with.Despite the growing use of phones, e-mail and instant messaging, in other words, Williams says studies show that we don’t have as many friends as our parents. “Just as more information has led to less wisdom, more acquaintances via the Internet and cell phones have produced fewer friends,” he says.
If the cell phone has truly had these effects, it’s because it has become very widespread.Consider that in 1987, there were only 1 million cell phones in use.Today, something like 300 million Americans carry them.They far outnumber wired phones in the United States.
小题1:Which of the following best explains the title of the passage?
A.Cell phone users smoke less than they used to. |
B.Cell phones have become as addictive as cigarettes. |
C.More people use cell phones than smoke cigarettes. |
D.Using cell phone is just as cool as smoking cigarettes. |
A.rescue | B.ignore | C.develop | D.control |
A.women use cell phones more often than men |
B.talking on the phone while driving is dangerous |
C.cell phones do not necessarily bring people together |
D.cell phones make one-on-one personal contact easy |
答案
小题1:B
小题2:D
小题3:C
解析
试题分析:
小题1:推断题。文章标题的意思是手机是一种新型的香烟。是一个比喻句,通过第二段Cigarettes? Cup of coffee? No, it’s the third most addictive thing in modern life, the cell phone.可知手机已经成为了和香烟、咖啡一样让人迷恋的东西。故选B。
小题2:推断题。文章第二段最后一句讲到对于一些人来说,他们难以处理好他们对手机的迷恋程度和人际关系交往中情感投入方面的事情。可知他们并不能够控制好这种关系,故选D。rescue 营救 ignore 忽视 develop 发展
小题3:推断题。从文章第四自然段可知,手机的过度使用已经变成了一个社会问题,它阻碍了人与人之间的面对面交流,并没有将人们的关系拉的更近,因为很多人都只是一味的专心打电话而忽视了周围的亲人、朋友。故选C。
点评:本文讲述了手机在日常生活中又成为了一种吸引人的东西。由于手机的过度使用,是人们忽视了与周围人的相处,从而导致了人与人的距离更为疏远。并未将人际关系拉近。解答此类题型时需要把握作者写作的态度,作者是在褒还是在贬,理解了这点后答题就更加容易。

For example, if you force yourself to smile or laugh, even when you don"t feel like smiling or laughing, if you keep at it for a few minutes, you will soon feel like it. Feelings can generate (导致)thoughts, but thoughts can also generate feelings. Control your thoughts and you can control your feelings. Positive thinking is important in all aspects of our lives. There is probably no single factor more important in determining your success in achieving your career objectives than your own attitude.
It"s often been said that in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king. And in the office of militant (好战) negativism, the positive workers shine like gold. You cannot control external events, but you can learn to control your reaction to those events and thereby have a positive attitude and be happy. This vital key to success is totally within your control. Use it.
小题1:We can infer from the passage that .
A.positive thinking can cure you of your diseases |
B.positive thinking can easily be generated by anyone |
C.a decline of hormone may cause you to be depressed |
D.a specific chemical reaction is the cause of negative thinking |
A.Feeling and thoughts can generate each other. |
B.It"s easier to control thoughts than to control feelings. |
C.Your success depends wholly on your attitude. |
D.Keeping smiling will surely make you successful. |
A.control your feeling to what is happening to you |
B.be king in your office |
C.pay no attention to what is going on around you |
D.take positive attitude in the office of militant negativism |
A.The Bad Effect of Negative Thinking | B.Why Should People Think |
C.Thinking: The Vital Way | D.Positive Thinking Benefits People |
While it’s well known that our bones need calcium, some studies suggest that high calcium intake doesn’t necessarily lower a person’s risk for fractures(骨折). A Harvard study found that people who drank two or more glasses of milk had no greater protection from breaking a bone than those who drank a glass or less a week.
There is no doubt that we need calcium. Some anti-dairy supporters claim dairy products can lead to heart disease. Much of this claim is based on high-fat dairy products, like cheese and cream, which may indeed lead to some health problems. Some studies have linked high milk intakes with a risk of prostate cancer; this seems also to be caused by high-fat dairy products, but not by dairy products in general.
Although milk has always been regarded as the most important thing we need for our bones, one of the most important things in strengthening bones and reducing the risk of osteoporosis(骨质疏松)is weight-bearing exercise, such as jogging, walking, and weight lifting.
Perhaps we should think of dairy products as less like a nutrient and more like a food. If you like it, eat it. If not, find something else to eat. Some claims may not be completely true. When I eat cream, I’m not thinking about calcium, protein, or any such thing. I’m thinking it is delicious.
小题1:What is the best title for this passage?
A.Milk: is it really necessary for children? | B.The disadvantages of drinking milk. |

B.spend some time exercising |
C.take in as much calcium as possible |

D.children should drink milk whether they like it or not |
A.Some dairy products may harm our health. |
B.Milk has the highest level of protein of any food. |
C.The writer seldom drank milk when he was young |
D.People who drink milk every day are at a high risk of getting a heart disease. |

I am a college student. Nowadays games on the net are very popular with college students. Some of my roommates are very interested in them. They not only play games in their free time, but also keep talking about them at night when lights are off, and they regard games as part of life. I’ve begged(乞求) them to give it up, but they wouldn’t listen to me. It has become a rather big problem. Should I report it to our teachers or do something else?
Ted,
Dear Ted:
Drop it. Your roommates, as grown-ups, can do whatever they want with their time so long as it doesn’t break school rules or violate(防碍) other people’s interests.
Playing perhaps gives these students relaxation(放松) from hard study. If they play too often, have little time to study, and they will reap what they have sown, but you will not. Reporting to the teachers would only harm your good name in your dormitory(宿舍). However you have rights to ask your roommates to be quiet when you need sleep. If they aren’t angry with you, they will stop talking. But be polite and friendly. Perhaps, in return, join them in a game or two.
Victor.
