6.Being able to multitask-doing several things at the same time-is considered (考慮,認(rèn)為) a welcome skill by most people.But if we consider the situation of the young people aged from eight to eighteen,we should think again.
What we often see nowadays is that young people juggle a larger number of electronic devices (電子產(chǎn)品) as they study.While working,they also surf on the Internet,send out emails,answer the telephone and listen to music on their iPods.In a sense,they are spending a large amount of time in fruitless efforts (努力) as they multitask.
Multitasking is even changing the relationship between family members.As young people give so much attention to their own worlds,they seem to have no time to spend with the other people around them.They can no longer greet family members when they enter the house,nor can they eat at the family table.
Multitasking also has an effect (影響) on young people's performance at university and in the workplace.When asked about their opinions of the effects of modern gadgets (器具) on their performance of tasks,many young people gave a positive (肯定的) response (回應(yīng)).However,the response from the worlds of education and business was not quite as positive.Educators feel that multitasking by children has a serious effect on later development of study skills.They believe that many college students now need help to improve their study skills.Similarly,employers (雇主) feel that young people entering the job market need to be taught all over again,as modern gadgets have made it unnecessary (沒(méi)必要) for them to learn special skills to do their work.

分析 【文章大意】這篇文章主要講述當(dāng)今年輕人喜歡工作的同時(shí)也會(huì)進(jìn)行其他的活動(dòng).例如:聽(tīng)歌、發(fā)郵件、上網(wǎng)等,這一現(xiàn)象叫做多任務(wù)活動(dòng).作者就這一現(xiàn)象從多方面角度進(jìn)行分析,闡述影響和原因.

解答 71.B 詞義猜測(cè)題.根據(jù)文章第二段:While working,they also surf on the Internet,send out emails,answer the telephone and listen to music on their iPods.可知當(dāng)工作時(shí),他們還會(huì)上網(wǎng)、發(fā)郵件、打電話或者用mp3聽(tīng)音樂(lè).所以此處:What we often see nowadays is that young people juggle a larger number of electronic devices (電子產(chǎn)品) as they study.應(yīng)該譯為:我們經(jīng)常會(huì)看到當(dāng)今的年輕人在工作的同時(shí)會(huì)使用大量的電子娛樂(lè)設(shè)備.這里應(yīng)該是同時(shí)的意思.故選B.

73.D 段落大意題.根據(jù)文章最后一段:Multitasking also has an effect (影響) on young people's performance at university and in the workplace.可知指出了多任務(wù)活動(dòng)對(duì)年輕人所造成的影響.故選D.
74.A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章最后一段:When asked about their opinions of the effects of modern gadgets (器具) on their performance of tasks,many young people gave a positive (肯定的) response (回應(yīng)).可知年輕人認(rèn)為多任務(wù)活動(dòng)有利于他們的學(xué)習(xí)和工作.故選A.
75.C 綜合理解題.根據(jù)文章可知,這篇文章主要講述當(dāng)今年輕人喜歡工作的同時(shí)也會(huì)進(jìn)行其他的活動(dòng).作者就這一現(xiàn)象從多方面角度進(jìn)行分析,闡述影響和原因.故選C.
