【解析】

本文是一篇议论文。沉默对人来说是不自然的。他尽其所能在世界上制造噪音,他比其他任何事情都更害怕沉默。

1考查动词不定式。句意:他尽其所能在世界上制造噪音,他比其他任何事情都更害怕沉默。此处是动词不定式做目的状语,故答案为to make。

2考查被动语态。句意:如果他被介绍给另一个人,并且在谈话中出现了一些停顿,他认为自己是一个失败者,并且充满了对那个头脑清醒的喋喋不休的人的嫉妒。此处是if引导的条件状语从句,主句是一般现在时态,则从句也要用一般现在时态,从句的主语heintroduce之间是被动关系,所以从句中要用一般现在时态的被动语态,故答案为is introduced。

3考查不定冠词的用法。句意:如果他被介绍给另一个人,并且在谈话中出现了一些停顿,他认为自己是一个失败者,并且充满了对那个头脑清醒的喋喋不休的人的嫉妒。不定冠词放在抽象名词前面,表示抽象名词的具体化,a failure一个失败的人/一件失败的事,故答案为a。

4考查时态。句意:他知道百分之九十九的人类对话只意味着苍蝇的嗡嗡声,但他渴望加入到嗡嗡声中,并证明他是一个男人,而不是一个蜡像。结合句意宾语从句用一般现在时态,从句的主语是ninety-nine percent of human conversation单数第三人称形式,故答案为means。

5考查形容词。句意:甚至还有一种嗡嗡声,就像蚊子发出的连续噪音一样令人讨厌。结合句意可知be动词后面用形容词annoying“恼人的,故答案为annoying。

6考查固定搭配。句意:但在晚宴上,人们宁愿做一只蚊子,也不愿做一个安静的人。固定句式:would rather---than---,宁愿---也不愿---,故答案为than。

7考查定语从句。句意:那些不喜欢把天气当作一种开放的人,在我看来,不知道人类想要说话的原因。此处Those是先行词,指人,在后面的定语从句中做主语,故答案为who.

8考查形容词。句意:那些不喜欢把天气当作一种开放的人,在我看来,不知道人类想要说话的原因。此处opening是名词,形容词修饰名词,故答案为conversational。

9考查动名词。句意:很少有人类加入到对话中来,希望能学到新的东西。介词of后面用动名词做宾语,故答案为learning。

10考查副词。句意:如果他们只是被允许继续在别人的耳朵里制造噪音,他们中的一些人是满意的。此处allow是动词,副词修饰动词,故答案为merely。

抽象名词的具体化:有些抽象名词前面用不定冠词a/an,表示一个具体的事情。a success一个成功的人,一件成功的事; a failure一个失败的人,一件失败的事; an honour一个荣幸的人,一个荣幸的事; have a good knowledge of 有某方面的好知识。

【题目】Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible.

The enduring power of print for learning in a digital world

Today's students see themselves as digital natives, the first generation to grow up surrounded by technology like smartphones, tablets and e-readers. We’ve seen students now equipped with school-issued iPads and access to e-textbooks. Given this trend, it might be assumed that students' familiarity and preference for technology translates into better learning outcomes. But more and more studies show that it’s not always the case. So, there are some lessons that can be conveyed to us about print’s place in an increasingly digital world.

We all read for many reasons. Sometimes we're looking for an answer to a very specific question. Other times, we want to browse a newspaper for today’s headlines. As we’re about to pick up an article or text in a printed or digital format, we should keep in mind why we're reading. There’s likely to be a difference in which medium works best for which purpose.

One of the most consistent findings of the studies is that, for some tasks, medium doesn't seem to matter. If all students are being asked to do is to understand and remember the big idea or gist of what they’re reading, there’s no benefit in selecting one medium over another. But when the reading assignment demands more engagement or deeper comprehension, students may be better off reading print. Teachers could make students aware that their ability to comprehend the assignment may be influenced by the medium they choose. This awareness could lessen the difference in students’ judgments of their performance compared with how they actually performed.

In another experiment, researchers were able to create meaningful records of college students based on the way they read and comprehended from printed and digital texts. Among those records, it was found that a select group of undergraduates who actually comprehended better when they moved from print to digital. But they actually read slower when the text was on the computer than when it was in a book. Using this select group as a model, students could possibly be taught or directed to fight the tendency to glide through online texts.

【题目】Sitting is an art that isn't getting passed along. People these days feel as though they have to be doing something. If they are not working, they are jogging, or playing tennis or golf to guard against illnesses, or taking courses to improve their minds or bodies -- or they are parked in front of the TV. Sitting in front of the TV isn't sitting -- it's watching.

People used to sit a whole lot. You would walk down the street or drive down the road, and there they would be, out on the doorsteps, sitting. You could go to the grocery to buy some garlic or some fruits and vegetables and sit on the bench out front m the summer or around the fire in the winter. You could go down to the store to buy an outer garment, an electric grill or anything else. There were sitting benches out in the town square. At the garage, there were straight-backed chairs. There among the oilcans and tires and spare parts, you could kick back and sit.

Houses used to have sitting rooms, where the grown-ups would go after Sunday dinner. Mom and Dad, Grandpa and Aunt Ruby would gather round, sit and digest (消化) the fried chicken and talk about Aunt Ethel’s illness, and how well the minister did today. They may just talk a load of garbage and even gesture with their hands when they become excited. Outside, the younger generation, the children would play on the ground, and the afternoon would pass by in a comfortable haze( 悠闲的氛围).

That sort of thing looks like doing nothing. A recharging battery (正充电的电池) doesn't look as if it's doing anything either. Sitting restores your soul. If you want to enjoy a truly full life, don't just do something--sit there.

1What message does the author try to get through to us?

A. People should make better use of their sitting room.

B. People should spend less time watching TV.

C. People should pass down their good habits.

D. People should take things easy for their own good.
