Some people prefer to do almost everything over the internet. To them, dealing with an actual human is like an evolutionary step backward. It feels very slow because humans don, t work at 4G speeds. When you have dinner with friends, you will often notice someone paying more attention to his mobile phone. We have programmed ourselves to think that every new message brings life-changing news, so taking calls and checking our texts are more important than talking to the people we are with. What is worse, some people even tend to send anonymous(匿名的) rude messages by email.
However, rudeness is never acceptable, Don, t assume it is OK to be rude if the person you, re in touch with won, t recognize you. If you have something awful to say, have the courage to face the person and say it, write a letter or email and sign it, or forget it. Upsetting people with unsigned messages is cruel and disgusting.
We shouldn′t blame technology for our shortcomings. Technology is here to help us, but we should not allow it to take over our lives. An important step is acknowledging our shortcomings. People spend a lot of time pointing out bad manners but it would be even more help if we′d publicly acknowledge good manners when we see them.
小题1:What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in Paragraph I?
A.People can tell good from bad behavior. |
B.Radar is able to observe human behavior. |
C.People care little about their behavior. |
D.Radar can be used to predict human behavior. |
A.they are becoming less patient |
B.they are growing too independent |
C.they have to handle many important messages |
D.they have to follow an evolutionary step backward. |
A.Ridiculous | B.disgusting | C.acceptable | D.reasonable |
A.We should applaud good behabior. |
B.Technology can neber be blamed |
C.We should keep pointing out mistakes. |
D.Technology will take over lives one day. |
答案
小题1:C
小题2:A
小题3:B
小题4:A
解析
主旨大意:这篇短文主要讲述了随着生活节奏的加快,人们变得越来越无礼,很多人不再关心礼貌问题。现在有越来越多人喜欢借助于电子产品来做一切事情,比如用手机匿名的恶意的短信。但是如论如何,这种粗鲁的行为是不可接受的,出现这个问题,我们需要谴责的不是这些电子产品,而是要不断检查我们自己的行为,认识到什么才是正确的行为习惯。
小题1:推理题。联系前文People are ruder today,当今人们比以前更粗鲁了,及下文描述,可知选C,人们不太关心他们的行为了。
小题2:根据第二段To them, dealing with an actual human is like an evolutionary step backward. 描述,可知他们对于真实的人打交道变得更没耐心了。故选A。
小题3:细节题。根据倒数第二段Upsetting people with unsigned messages is cruel and disgusting. 描述,可知用匿名的短信***扰别人是残忍的和令人讨厌的,故选B。
小题4:主旨题。这段主要试讲我们应该了解我们的缺点,但是如果公开的认可好的行为习惯,将会更有帮助,故选A,我们应该鼓励好的行为。

举一反三
More than the help that one nation can give to another during a disaster; it would be more effective to give other forms of help during normal times. A common proverb says, “Give me a fish and I eat for day, teach me to fish and I eat for a lifetime.” If we follow this wise saying, it would be right to teach people from less developed nations to take care of themselves. For example, a country could share its technology with another. This could be in simple areas like agriculture or in more complex areas like medical and health care or even in building satellites. Even small country is able to help less developed nations. Sometimes what is take for granted, like the setting up of a water purification plant or the administration of a school, could be useful for countries which are looking about to solve common problems. It does not cost much to share such simple things. Exchange students could be attached for a number of months or years and learn the required craft while on the site. They can then take their knowledge back to their homelands and if necessary come back form time to time to clear doubts or to update themselves. Such aid will be truly helpful and there is no chance of it being temporary or of it falling into the wrong hands.
Many countries run extensive courses in all sorts of skills. It will not cost much to include deserving foreigners in these courses. Besides giving effective help to the countries concerned, there is also the build-up of friendships to consider. Giving direct help by giving materials may be effective in the short run and must continue to be given in the event of emergencies. However, in the long run what is really effective would be the sharing of knowledge.
小题1:According to the author, how could international aid reach the victims in time?
A. By solving the cost problems |
B. By solving the transportation problems |
C. By setting up a body of devoted people in every country. |
D. By relying on the direct distribution of the UNO. |
A.Providing food is vital | B.Learning to fish is helpful |
C.Teaching skills is essential | D.Looking after others is important. |
A.by example | B.by process | C.by comparison | D.by contrast |
A.A medical team. | B.An exchange program. |
C.A water plant. | D.Financial support. |
A.It is facing difficulties |
B.It is unnecessary during normal times |
C.It should be given in the form of materials |
D.It has gained support developed countries |
Listening well also requires total concentration upon someone else. An essential part of listening well is the rule known as ‘bracketing’. Bracketing includes the temporary giving up or setting aside of your own prejudices and desires, to experience as far as possible someone else’s world from the inside, stepping into his or her shoes. Moreover, since listening well involves bracketing, it also involves a temporary acceptance of the other person. Sensing this acceptance, the speaker will seem quite willing to open up the inner part of his or her mind to the listener. True communication is under way and the energy required for listening well is so great that it can be accomplished only by the will to extend oneself for mutual growth.
Most of the time we lack this energy. Even though we may feel in our business dealings or social relationships that we are listening well, what we are usually doing is listening selectively. Often we have a prepared list in mind and wonder, as we listen, how we can achieve certain desired results to get the conversation over as quickly as possible or redirected in ways more satisfactory to us. Many of us are far more interested in talking than in listening, or we simply refuse to listen to what we don’t want to hear.
It wasn’t until toward the end of my doctor career that I have found the knowledge that one is being truly listened to is frequently therapeutic(有疗效的) In about a quarter of the patients I saw, surprising improvement was shown during the first few months of psychotherapy(心理疗法), before any of the roots of problems had been uncovered or explained. There are several reasons for this phenomenon, but chief among them, I believe, was the patient’s sense that he or she was being truly listened to, often for the first time in years, and for some, perhaps for the first time ever.
小题1:The phrase “stepping into his or her shoes” in paragraph 2 probably means _______.
A.preparing a topic list first | B.focusing on one’s own mind |
C.directing the talk to the desired results | D.experiencing the speaker’s inside world |
A.How to listen well. | B.What to listen to. |
C.Benefits of listening. | D.Problems in listening |
A.listen actively | B.listen purposefully |
C.set aside their prejudices | D.open up their inner mind |
A.they were taken good care of. | B.they knew they were truly listened to. |
C.they had partners to talk to. | D.they knew the roots of problems. |
A.Science fiction | B.A news report. | C.A medical report. | D.Popular science |
Dorothy taught in a school In Harlan County, Kentucky, Appalachian Mountain area. To get to her school from the town of Harlan, I followed a road winding around the mountain. In the eight-mile journey, I crossed the same railroad track five times, giving the possibility of getting caught by the same train five times. Rather than feeling excited by this drive through the mountains, I found it depressing. The poverty level was shocking and the small shabby houses gave me the greatest feeling of hopelessness.
From the moment of my arrival at the little school, all gloom (忧郁) disappeared. Upon arriving at Dorothy’s classroom. I was greeted with smiling faces and treated like a queen. The children had been prepared to show me their latest projects. Dorothy told me with a big smile that they were serving poke greens salad and cornbread for “dinner” (lunch). In case you don’t know, poke greens are a weed-type plant that grows wild, especially on poor ground.
Dorothy never ran out of reports of exciting activities of her students. Her enthusiasm never cooled down. When it came time to sit for the testing and interviewing required to receive her Child Development Associate Certification, Dorothy was ready. She came to the assessment and passed in all areas. Afterward, she invited me to the one-and-only steak house in the area to celebrate her victory, as if she had received her Ph. D. degree. After the meal, she placed a little box containing an old pen in my hand. She said it was a family heirloom (传家宝), but to me it is a treasured symbol of appreciation and pride that cannot be matched with things. (360 words)

It’s a library built with love.
A year ago, shortly after Janey Henriksen saw a Brian Williams report about the Little Free Library organization, a Wisconsin-based nonprofit that aims to promote literacy and build a sense of community in a neighborhood by making books freely available, she announced to her family of four, “That’s what we’re going to do for our spring break!”
Son Austin, now a 10th-grader, didn’t see the point of building a library that resembles a mailbox. But Janey insisted, and husband Peter unwillingly got to work. The 51-year-old owner of a ship supply company modified a small wooden house that he’d built years earlier for daughter Abbie’s toy horses, and made a door of glass.
After adding the library’s final touches (装点), the family hung a signboard on the front, instructing users to “take a book, return a book,” and making the Henriksen library, now one of several hundred like it nationwide and among more than 2,500 in the world, the only Little Free Library in Palm Beach County.
They stocked it with 20 or so books they’d already read, a mix of science fiction, reference titles, novels and kids’ favorites. “I told them, keep in mind that you might not see it again,” said Janey, a stay-at-home mom.
Since then, the collection keeps replenishing (补充) itself, thanks to ongoing donations from borrowers. The library now gets an average of five visits a day.
The project’s best payoff, says Peter, are the thank-you notes left behind. “We had no idea in the beginning that it would be so popular.” (317 words)
小题1:In what way is the library “pedestrian-friendly”?
A.It owns a yellow roof. | B.It stands near a sidewalk. |
C.It protects book lovers from the sun. | D.It uses palm-tree stickers as decorations. |
A.a visit to Brian Williams | B.a spring break with her family |
C.a book sent by one of her neighbors | D.a report on a Wisconsin-based organization |
A.by a ship supply company | B.on the basis of toy horses |
C.like a mailbox | D.with glass |
A.It was made by a user of the library. | B.It marked a final touch to the library. |
C.It aimed at making the library last long. | D.It indicated the library was a family property. |
A.donate books to the library |
B.get paid to collect books for the library |
C.receive thank-you notes for using the library |
D.visit the library over 5 times on average daily |
