【题目】 “People are ruder today because they are rushed and more ‘time poor’ than ever before，” says Patsy Rowe, “Manners_have_fallen_off_the_radar(雷达)．” Due to our strong attraction to electronic equipment it is a wonder more people don't wake up each morning and greet the singing birds with a complaint(抱怨)about the noise. Here are some examples of rudeness.

Some people prefer to do almost everything over the Internet. To them, dealing with an actual human needs more patience. It feels very slow because humans don't work at 4G speeds. When you have dinner with friends, you will often notice someone paying more attention to his mobile phone. We have programmed ourselves to think that every new message brings life－changing news, so taking calls and checking our texts are more important than talking to the people we are with. What is worse, some people even tend to send anonymous(匿名的) rude messages by email.

However, rudeness is never acceptable. Don't assume it is OK to be rude if the person you're in touch with won't recognize you. If you have something awful to say, have the courage to face the person and say it, write a letter or email and sign it, or forget it. Upsetting people with unsigned messages is cruel and disgusting.（令人厌恶的）

We shouldn't blame technology for our shortcomings. Technology is here to help us，but we should not allow it to take over our lives. An important step is acknowledging our shortcomings. People spend a lot of time pointing out bad manners but it would be even more helpful if we'd publicly acknowledge good manners when we see them.

【1】What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1?

A．People can tell good from bad behavior.

B．Radar is able to observe human behavior.

C．People care little about their behavior.

D．Radar can be used to predict human behavior.

【2】Some people are less willing to deal with humans because ________．

A．they are becoming less patient

B．they are growing too independent

C．they have to handle many important messages

D．they have to follow an evolutionary step backward

【3】The author thinks sending unsigned awful messages is ________．

A．ridiculous

B．disgusting

C．acceptable

D．reasonable

【4】What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A．We should applaud （为喝彩） good behavior.

B．Technology can never be blamed.

C．We should keep pointing out mistakes.

D．Technology will take over our lives one day.

【答案】

【1】C

【2】A

【3】B

【4】A

【解析】

试题分析：随着电子产品的出现，人们用在电话、电脑和网络上的时间多了，在现实生活中人与人之间的联系少了，而且人们也逐渐变得没有耐心，失去了本该有的礼貌，甚至通过网络进行侮辱别人的行为。作者认为改变这一切的方法不是要责怪网络，责怪人类的缺点，而是要弘扬正能量。

【1】C推理判断题。从文章首句“People are ruder today because they are rushed and more ‘time poor’ than ever before,” 和第一段末句Here are some examples of rudeness.可知第一段讲述人们现在不注重礼貌了，由此推断C选项正确，意思是人们对他们的行为举止不在意了。

【2】A推理判断题。从文章第二段的叙述可知人们因为嫌慢而不愿意再和现实中的人打交道，甚至在和朋友一起吃饭时候也忙着打电话发信息，由此推断A选项正确。

【3】B细节理解题。形容词ridiculous可笑的；disgusting令人厌恶的；acceptable可接受的；reasonable合理的。从文章第三段Upsetting people with unsigned messages is cruel and disgusting.可知作者认为这种做法是令人厌恶的，故B为正确选项。

【4】A推理判断题。根据文章最后一句People spend a lot of time pointing out bad manners but it would be even more helpful if we'd publicly acknowledge good manners when we see them.可知当我们看见一些很有礼貌的行为时候，我们应该大力表扬。通过这种方法鼓励社会美德。故A项正确。

【题目】My dearest son and daughter,

The story of New Jersey high school student Rachel Canning suing (起诉) her parents for child support and high school education inspired me to write you a little letter. Let me just put this out there: the only way I expect to see you in a court is as a lawyer or a judge.

There are two things about this case that seem to be disaster.

First, it’s natural for parents and children to argue. I can guarantee that we will disagree. One or both of you will, at some point, scream at the top of your lungs the various ways you hate me. And I won’t always like you, either. But I will always love you and do everything I can to keep your best interests as my focus, even when I’m so angry. We are family. That means we are as much a part of one another as the flesh, blood and bones in our body. And we all should think about it very deeply instead of breaking that bond.

Second, I’ll be honest, no matter how far apart we are on your life choices, your father and I will most certainly pay everything we can for your higher education. But that doesn’t mean you deserve it. To be clear, that is a privilege we happily extend (给予) to you—not a right you are born with. And you will have to work hard to earn that privilege. Growing up is hard work.

If I do my job properly as your mother—and you do yours as my children—you would sooner get a job or two, and find a way to make your dreams come true than go to trial over what you think you have the right to.

Love always,

Mom

A. a way in which children realize their dreams

【题目】If you are a fruit grower — or would like to become one —join in Apple Day to see what’s around. It’s called Apple Day but in fact it’s more like Apple Month. The day itself is on October 21, but since it has become popular, events now last through most of October around Britain.

Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see, and often taste, a wide variety(品种) of apples. To people who are used to the limited kinds of apples such as Golden Delicious and Royal Gala in supermarkets, it can be quite eye-opening to see some classical apples still in existence, such as Decio which was grown by the Romans. Although it doesn’t taste of anything special, it’s still worth a try.

There are also varieties developed to suit certain local conditions. One of the very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette, but you’ll need a warm, sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it, so it’s a pipe dream for most apple lovers who fall in love with it.

At the apple events, you can also meet expert growers and discuss which ones will best suit your conditions, and because these are family affairs, children are well entertained with apple-themed fun and games.

Apple days are being held at all sorts of places with an interest in fruit, including stately gardens and commercial orchards(果园). If you want to have a real orchard experience, visit the National Collection at Brogdale, near Faversham in Kent.

D. It has a special taste.
