16.The 21st century brought in what was supposed to be paperless living.The data of our lives was to be recorded in digital clouds.We were told to click the option for paperless statements,unsubscribe to unwanted catalogues and keep a shredder(碎紙機(jī))nearby at all times.
So how are we doing?
"We have a bigger need for paper management than before because we have more access to information than ever before,"says Chris Plantan,creative director for Russell & Hazel,maker of stylish office accessories.Plantan says there are lots of files and lots of piles out there.
For many,organizing papers is another chore that inspires procrastination.You don't need to be a regular viewer of the A&E cable program"Hoarders"to know that many of us stash our papers in shopping bags instead of filing cabinets.Filing doesn't make it onto the to-do lists of many over-scheduled people these days.
"It ranks at the bottom of the list,along with having a tooth pulled,"says Melissa Sorensen,a professional organizer based in Woodbridge."People arerestricted by fear,worried about what will happen if they throw something out,"Sorensen says."Eighty-five percent of the things you file,you never retrieve again."
Those who do have files often suffer from another issue:figuring out where they put stuff.
Holly Bohn founded See Jane Work,an online source for creative office products,to make the task of staying organized a bit more fun."Despite technological advances,paper management is a problem because we are bombarded by paper.Our lives are so busy and complex we can't make decisions."She believes each person has to create her own system to accommodate both boring paperwork and sentimental mementos.Her products,targeted at multi-tasking women,offer a bit of charm.
Solutions don't have to start with a clumsy metal filing cabinet.Some people are stackers and save things in fabric-covered stackable boxes.Color-coded binders and colorful plastic trays are also recommended to classify different things.
Will virtual living eventually mean the death of filing?"People who have cookbooks still like to pull out recipes and save them,"says Kim Oser,a Gaithersburg professional organizer,"just like people who love their GPS still like looking at a map.In our lifetime,we will still have paper and still have filing.One hundred years fron now?who knows?"
 
61.Chris Plantan probably agrees thatB.
A.paperless living will never be realized
B.reality is running counter to paperless living
C.technology proves the necessity of paper management
D.file processing becomes impossible in the digital age
62.Which best illustrates the program"Hoarders"mentioned in Paragraph 4?C
A.Man cannot live without paper
B.TV viewers are good at filling papers
C.People often leave their papers disorganized
D.Paperless living is advocated by many people
63.Who is most likely to hold that most of the files should be thrown out?D
A.Kim Oser        B.Holly Bohn      C.Chris Plantan        D.Melissa Sorensen
64.What might be the best title for this passage?A
A.Paper management          B.Office transformation     C.Storing files            D.Going paperless.

分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀,作者通過這篇文章主要向我們描述了隨著科技的發(fā)展,無紙化的生活逐步實(shí)現(xiàn),但紙張還是無法被取代的,它有自己管理文件的方式.

解答 61.B.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第二段We have a bigger need for paper management than before because we have more access to information than ever before,"says Chris Plantan可知她認(rèn)為現(xiàn)實(shí)是和無紙化生活背道而馳的;故選B.
62.C.推理判斷題.根據(jù)文章many of us stash our papers in shopping bags instead of filing cabinets.Filing doesn't make it onto the to-do lists of many over-scheduled people these days可知人們經(jīng)常把自己的論文弄得雜亂無章最能說明該程序"囤積";故選C.
63.D.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章Sorensen says."Eighty-five percent of the things you file,you never retrieve again可知Sorensen認(rèn)為大部分文件應(yīng)該被扔掉;故選D.
64.A.推理判斷題.根據(jù)第一段We were told to click the option for paperless statements,unsubscribe to unwanted catalogues and keep a shredder(碎紙機(jī))nearby at all times可知文章最好的標(biāo)題為文件管理;故選A.

點(diǎn)評 考察學(xué)生的細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力,做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進(jìn)行比較,再做出正確的選擇.在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實(shí),要根據(jù)文章事實(shí)進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.
