Question

【题目】 When you set a foot outside of your door to drop trash, go to a social event or go for a walk, thoughts like “I hope I don't see anyone I know” or “please don’ t talk to me” may run through your mind. I’ ve also said such things to myself. Sometimes the last thing you want to do is talk with someone, especially someone new.

Why do we go out of our ways to avoid people? Do we think meeting new people is a waste of time? Or are we just lazy, thinking that meeting someone new really is a trouble?

Communication is the key to life. We have been told that many times. Take the past generations, like our parents, for example. They seem to take full advantage of that whole “communication” idea because they grew up talking face to face while Generation-Y grew up staring at screens. We spend hours of our days sitting on Facebook. We send messages to our friends and think about all of the things we want to say to certain people that we don't have the courage to actually do in reality.

Nowadays, we are so caught up in our little circle of friends — our comfort zone. We love it that they laugh at our jokes, understand our feelings and can read our minds. Most importantly, they know when we want to be alone. They just get us.

Holding a conversation with someone new means agreeing with things that you don’t actually believe and being someone you think they want you to be — it is, as I said before, a trouble. It takes up so much energy, and at some point or another, it is too tiring.

But meeting new people is important. Life is too short, so meet all the people you can meet, make the effort to go out and laugh. Remember, Every “hello” leads to a smile — and a smile is worth a lot.

【4】C

【解析】

这是一篇议论文。文章主要讲了如今，年轻一代人总是依靠互联网进行社交活动，但却不愿意在真实的世界中与人交往，但是在真实的世界中结识新人是很重要的。作者鼓励人们结识新人。

【1】细节理解题。根据第一段I’ ve also said such things to myself. Sometimes the last thing you want to do is talk with someone, especially someone new.（我也对自己说过这样的话。有时候你最不想做的事情就是和别人交谈，尤其是和陌生人。）可知作者有时害怕和别人说话。故选D。

【2】推理判断题。根据第三段We spend hours of our days sitting on Facebook. We send messages to our friends and think about all of the things we want to say to certain people that we don't have the courage to actually do in reality.（我们每天花几个小时坐在“脸书”上。我们给我们的朋友发信息，思考我们想对某些人说的那些我们在现实中没有勇气去说的事情。）由此推断出，在作者看来，年轻一代的问题是他们依靠互联网进行社交活动。故选A。

【3】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段Holding a conversation with someone new means agreeing with things that you don’t actually believe and being someone you think they want you to be — it is, as I said before, a trouble. It takes up so much energy, and at some point or another, it is too tiring.（和新认识的人交谈意味着同意你不相信的事情，成为他们希望你成为的人——就像我之前说的，这是一个麻烦。它需要如此多的精力，在某些时候，它太累人了。）可知许多年轻人不愿结识新朋友是因为他们认为这很麻烦。故选A。

【4】推理判断题。根据最后一段But meeting new people is important. Life is too short, so meet all the people you can meet, make the effort to go out and laugh. Remember, Every “hello” leads to a smile — and a smile is worth a lot.（但是认识新人是很重要的。生命太短暂，所以遇到所有你能遇到的人，努力走出去笑一笑。记住，每个“你好”都能带来一个微笑——而一个微笑是很有价值的。）由此推断出，作者写这篇文章是为了鼓励人们结识新人。故选C。

细节理解题大多是根据文章中的具体信息如事实、例证、原因、过程、论述等进行提问的。抓住文段中的事实和细节是做好该题型的关键，也是做好其它类型问题的基础。该题型几乎都可以在文章中直接找到与答案有关的信息，或是其变体。在一篇短文里大部分篇幅都属于这类围绕主体展开的细节。做这类题一般采用寻读法，即先读题，然后带着问题快速阅读短文，找出与问题和选项有关的词语或句子，再对相关部分进行分析对比，找出答案。正确选项虽然一般不是原文照搬，但是一般是原文的改写，意思不变。如换一个同义词，把否定改为肯定，把肯定改为否定等。如第3小题，根据倒数第二段Holding a conversation with someone new means agreeing with things that you don’t actually believe and being someone you think they want you to be — it is, as I said before, a trouble. It takes up so much energy, and at some point or another, it is too tiring.（和新认识的人交谈意味着同意你不相信的事情，成为他们希望你成为的人——就像我之前说的，这是一个麻烦。它需要如此多的精力，在某些时候，它太累人了。）可知许多年轻人不愿结识新人是因为他们认为这很麻烦。故选A。
