Question

15．A funny thing happened on the way to the communications revolutions：we stopped talking to one another．
  I was walking in the park with a friend recently，and his cell phone rang，interrupting our conversation．There we were，walking and talking on a beautiful sunny day and…I became invisible（看不見的），absent from the conversation．
  The telephone used to connect you to the absent．Now it makes people sitting next to you feel absent．Why is it that the more connected we get，the more disconnected I feel？Every advance in communications technology is a tragedy to the closeness of human interaction．With email and instant messaging over the Internet，we can now communicate without seeing or talking to one another．With voice mail，you can conduct entire conversations without ever reaching anyone．If my mom has a question，I just leave the answer on her machine．
  As almost every contact we can imagine between human beings gets automated，we are now feeling more distant from one another．You can't even call a person to get the phone number of another person any more．Directory assistance is almost always fully automated．
  I am not against modern technology．I own a cell phone，an ATM card，a voice mail system，and an email account．Giving them up isn't wise…they're a great help to use．It's some of their possible consequences that make me feel uneasy．
  More and more I find myself hiding behind e-mail to do a job meant for conversation，or being relieved that voice mail picked up because I didn't really have time to talk．The industry devoted to helping me keep in touch is making me lonelier．
  So I've put myself on technology restriction：no instant messaging with people who live near me，no cell phoning in the presence of friends，no letting the voice mail pick up when I'm at home．
64．Which of the following would be the best title of the passage？B
A．The Advance of Communications Technology．
B．The Consequences of Modern Technology．
C．The Story of Communications Revolution．
D．The Automation of Modern Communications
65．The sentence"Now it makes people sitting next to you feel absent，"means thatC．

C．modern technology makes it hard for people to have a face-to-face talk   
D．people can now go to work without going to the office
66．The writer feels that the use of modern communications isD．
A．encouraging       B．disappointing    C．satisfying      D．embarrassing

Answer 1

分析 本文主要論述現(xiàn)代技術的消極影響--現(xiàn)代技術的使用在疏遠人與人之間的距離．

解答 BCDA
64   B 主旨大意題．開篇點題，第一段：一件奇怪的事情發(fā)生在信息革命的路上，我們停止了相互交談（這就是信息革命的結果）．下面通過實例來說明通訊革命帶來的結果．A．The Advance of Modern Technology現(xiàn)代技術的進步B．The Consequences of Communication Technology信息革命的結果C．The Story of Communication Revolution信息革命的故事D．The Automation of Modern Communication現(xiàn)代通訊自動化．故選B．
65  C   句意猜測題．根據(jù)第二段原文"…and his cellphone rang…I became invisible，absent from the conversation．"和第三段原文"we can now communicate without seeing or talking to one another"可知，當朋友接電話的時候，作者仿佛成了擺設，隨著科技的發(fā)展，人們通過電話，郵件等途徑進行交流，這使得面對面的交談變得很難．故選C．
66  D   推理判斷題．根據(jù)第五段可知，作者并不反對現(xiàn)代技術，也認為它極有幫助，只是某一些結果讓他感到不安，比如第二段中他所舉的生活例子．由此判斷他會認為使用現(xiàn)代技術有時令人感到尷尬，故選D項．
67    A   推理判斷題．根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段The industry devoted to helping me keep in touch is making me lonelier．致力于幫助人們保持聯(lián)系的產(chǎn)業(yè)使我更加孤獨和第三段開頭The telephone used to connect you to the absent．Now it makes people sitting next to you feel absent．電話用來連接不在場的人．現(xiàn)在它讓坐在你旁邊的人感覺不在場似的，可推斷現(xiàn)代技術正在疏遠人們之間的關系，故選A項
