阅读下面短文, 然后简要回答下面5个问题。要求答语: 结构正确、书写工整、字迹清楚。 |
When I asked my daughter which item she would keep: the phone, the car, the cooker, the computer,
the TV, or her boyfriend, she said"the phone". Personally I could do without the phone, which makes me
unusual, because the telephone is changing our life more than any other piece of technology.
Point 1 The telephone creates the need to communicate, in the same way that more roads create more
traffic. My daughter comes home from school at 4:00 and then spends an hour on the phone talking to the
very people she has been at school with all day. If the phone didn"t exist, would she have anything to talk
about?
Point 2 The mobile phone means that we are never alone."The mobile saved my life," says Lucy. She
had an accident in her Volvo. Trapped inside, she managed to make the call that brought the ambulance.
Point 3 The mobile removes our secret. It allows Marketing Manager of a large company to ring his sales
staff all around the world at any time of day to ask where they are, where they are going, and how their last
meeting went.
Point 4 The telephone separates us. A person said,"We worked in separate offices but I could see him
through the window. It was easy to get his number. We were so near-but we didn"t meet for the first two
weeks!"
Point 5 The telephone allows us to reach out beyond our own lives. Today we can talk to several complete
strangers at the same time on chat lines. We can talk across the world. We can even talk to astronauts while
they"re space-walking. And with the phone line hooked up to the computer, we can access the Internet, the
biggest library on Earth. |

Every day we go to school and listen to the teacher, and the teacher will ask us some questions. Sometimes,
the classmates will ask your opinions of the work of the class. When you are telling others in the class what
you have found out about these topics, remember that they must be able to hear what you are saying. You are
not taking part in a family conversation or having a chat with friends-you are in a slightly (稍微的) unnatural
situation where a large group of people will remain silent, waiting to hear what you have to say. You must speak
so that they can hear you-loudly enough and clearly enough but without trying to shout or appearing to force
yourself.
Remember, too, that it is the same if you are called to an interview whether it is with a professor of your
school or a govemment official who might meet you. The person you are seeing will try to put you at your ease
but the situation is somewhat different from that of an ordinary conversation. You must take special care that
you can be heard. |

A. noisy

A. that we should talk in different ways in different situations
A. that we must speak loudly to make ourselves heard when stating our opinions in serious situations
B. that we must keep silent at any time
C. that we must talk with the class |

It is natural for young people, at times, to blame their parents for most of the misunderstandings between
them. They have always complained that their parents are out of touch with modern ways; that they do not
trust their children to deal with crises; that they talk too much about certain problems, and that they have no
sense of humor, at least in parent-child relationships. I think it is true that parents often look down upon their
teenage children and also forget how they themselves felt, when young.
For example, young people like doing things without careful consideration: it is one of their ways of
showing that they can accept a challenge. Older people worry more easily: most of them plan things ahead, at
least in the back of their minds, and do not like their plans to be upset by something unexpected.
So my advice to you is this: when you want to borrow the family car or get your mother to mend
something for you, you will have better success if you can possibly ask in advance.
Young people often annoy their parents with their choices in clothes and hairstyles, in entertainers and
music. This is not the main reason. They feel cut off from the adult world. So they create a culture and society
of their own. Then, if it turns out that their music and entertainers, or vocabulary, clothes and hairstyles annoy
their parents, this gives them additional enjoyment. They feel they are better, at least in a small way, and they
are leaders in style and taste.
Sometimes you don"t obey because you do not want your parents to accept what you do. If they did
accept, it looks as if you are tricking your own age group. But in that case, you are supposing that you are the
underdog: you can"t win but at least you can keep your honor. This is a passive way of looking at things. It is
natural enough, after long years of childhood, when you were completely under your parents" control. But it
ignores the fact that you are now beginning to be responsible for yourself.
If you plan to control your life, co-operation can be part of the plan. You can impress others, especially
parents, with your sense of responsibility, so that they will give you the right to do what you want to do. |
| 1. According to the passage, all the following complaints are true EXCEPT that ______. |
A. parents have no sense of humor at all
B. parents are always behind the times
C. parents talk too much about certain problems
D. parents don"t believe their children can deal with crises |
| 2. What does the author suggest to young people to win support from their parents? |
A. Ignoring them.
B. Controlling them.
C. Entertaining them.
D. Cooperating with them. |
| 3. We can learn from the passage that ______. |
A. young people are not allowed to join adult society because they have their own culture
B. it is impossible for young people to get along well with older people
C. older people tend to forget what they felt when they were young
D. older people often lead the way in fashion |
| 4. The underlined word "underdog" in the 5th paragraph refers to a person who _____. |
A. keeps dogs as pets
B. seems less likely to succeed
C. likes to cheat his own age group
D. looks down upon others around him |

Some vacation is just around the corner. One of the best things you can possibly do is to start you own
club. It"s great fun especially if you are the sort of person who feels there"s never anything to do during the
school holidays.
The first thing you need to come up with is an idea for your club. 1 Pets, clothes, pop music or dancing
groups, sports, making things? The list is endless.
Next you need some friends to be in your club with you. 2 All you need is three or four other people
who are interested in the same thing as you.
3 You should all sit down somewhere together with lots of pieces of paper and write down every name
you can think up. That"ll keep you busy for ages.
At your first meeting you should make up a rule book. And the first rule should be no grown-ups or
little/big brothers or sisters! The best clubs are always secret!
Now you have just about everything you need, except membership cards. These are very important and
again you can spend a lot of time making them. 4 Why not leave some space for a photo of yourself? That
will make the membership card really look like it.
So there you are, get clubbing! Once you get started you"ll think of loads of more interesting things to do! |
A. That"s easy.
B. Enjoy your own club!
C. Invite a designer to join you.
D. What are you interest in?
E. Then you need to pick a name for your club.
F. Use a bright thick pen to make a special design. |

General Airport Tips
Plan to get to the airport at least an hour early, or two during holidays and other busy times; this will
reduce the stress of the flight. If all goes well, you will have time to relax, shop for last-minute items, or
have a meal before the flight.
Flight Delays
Find out why your flight is delayed. Call the free call numbers. Find out if other airlines are experiencing
similar delays. If you believe the delay is due to something other than weather or air traffic problems, then
mention your suspicion (怀疑) and ask the airline agent to book you on the next available flight, either on the
same air-line or a competing one. This is called "Rule 240", and all airlines are required to do it. Use the lingo
(行话); ask,"Can you 240 me?" when speaking with an agent. They will know what you mean.
Flight Cancellations (取消)
If your flight is canceled, then make a reservation on the next flight to your destination. Usually, air-line
personnel will try to book everyone on their next flight out. Often they will put you on a competitor"s next
flight only if you request it. If on-time arrival is important to you, when you check flights through our
reservation system you can rate your choices based on their on-time arrival records. Be sure to also check the
weather conditions, as they often affect flight schedules. |
| 1. A person goes to the airport ahead of time mainly to _______. |
A. buy what he wants in the airport

A. change for the ticket to the next flight

It"s enough to give anyone an earache. Women spend an average of about five years on the phone during
their working lives, research has shown.
You won"t be surprised to learn that women spend 18 months longer than men on the phone-who only
chat for an average of three years.
Both sexes make and receive almost the same number of calls - 277,000 for men and 288,000 for women.
But women spend 13,500 more hours in total on their conversations.
More than half of those chats are work-related but people spend on average twice as long on a personal
call (10 minutes ) as on a business one.
Despite the explosion in mobile phone ownership, most people still prefer to use landlines, the poll (民意调查) found.
However, when people are tired of talking, the top excuse for getting a caller off the line is to say
"Someone"s at the door." Other favourites include "I"m cooking" and "I need to go to the toilet".
Eight out of ten phone users admitted not answering their phones on purpose if they did not want to speak
to the caller.
One in three people thought calls after 10 pm were unacceptable but a quarter of those polled said they did
not mind calls up to midnight.
Two-thirds admitted they had people in their address books who they should ring but never got round to
doing so.
Joseph Blass, managing director of telecom company Toucan, said, "As a nation, we love to chat on the
phone but it is quite astonishing when we look at the total number of calls we make in a lifetime." |

B. Women make and receive the same number of calls as men do.
C. On average, work-related calls are only half as long as personal calls.
D. Usually a call made by a man is longer than one by a woman. |
2. According to the poll, when someone on the phone says "Sorry, someone"s at the door", he or
she probably means ________. |
A. he/she is going to the toilet
B. he/she wants to stop chatting
C. he/she is too tired to talk any longer
D. he/she must go to open the door for someone |
| 3. From the text, we know that _________. |
A. calls around midnight are acceptable to some people
B. 80% of people always refuse to answer a phone call
C. people never ring the people in their address books
D. Joseph Blass was one of the people who were polled |

A. it"s no wonder that we all love to chat on the phone
B. people in many countries love to chat on the phone
C. people insist on often phoning their family and friends
