题目内容
10.You get anxious if there's no wi-fi in the hotel or mobile phone signal up the mountain.You feel upset if your phone is getting low on power,and you secretly worry things will go wrong at work if you're not there.All these can be called"always on"stress caused by smart phone addiction.For some people,smart phones have liberated them free from the nine-to-five work.Flexible working has given them more control over their working lives and enabled them to spend more time with their friends and families.For many others though,smart phones have become cruel masters in their pockets,never allowing them to turn them off and relax.
Pittsburgh-based developer Kevin Holesh was worried about how much he was ignoring his family and friends in favour of his iPhone.So he developed an app-Moment-to monitor his usage.The app enables users to see how much time they're spending on the device and set up warnings if the usage limits are breached."Moment's goal is to promote balance in your life,"his website explains."Some time on your phone,some time off of it enjoying your loving family and friends around you."
Dr Christine Grant,an occupational psychologist at Coventry University,said,"The effects of this‘always on'culture are that your mind is never resting,and you're not giving your body time to recover,so you're always stressed.And the more tired and stressed we get,the more mistakes we make.Physical and mental health can suffer."
And as the number of connected smart phones is increasing,so is the amount of data.This is leading to a sort of decision paralysis(瘫痪)and is creating more stress in the workplace because people have to receive a broader range of data and communications which are often difficult to manage."It actually makes it more difficult to make decisions and many do less because they're controlled by it all and feel they can never escape the office,"said Dr Christine Grant.

29.Kevin Holesh developed Moment toD.
A.research how people use their mobile phones
B.increase the fun of using mobile phones
C.make people better use mobile phones
D.help people control their use of mobile phones
30.What's Dr Christine Grant's attitude towards"always on"culture?C
A.Confused.B.Positive.C.Critical.D.Doubtful.
31.According to the last paragraph,a greater amount of data meansB.
A.we can work more effectively
B.we will become less productive
C.we will be equipped with more knowledge
D.we can make a decision more quickly.

解答 ADCB
28 A 细节理解题.根据短文第一段最后一句All these can be called"always on"stress caused by smart phone addiction.可知,前面所列举的情况都是过度使用智能手机而导致的"一直在线"的现象,所以A项符合第一段内容的总括.B.现代技术的进步;C智能机的普及;D.智能机上瘾的原因,均与题意不符.故选A.
29 D 细节理解题.根据短文第三段第二、三句So he developed an app-Moment-to monitor his usage.The app enables users to see how much time they're spending on the device and set up warnings if the usage limits are broken.可知,该软件可以帮助人们控制好使用电子产品的时间.故选D.
30 C 推理判断题.根据短文第四段中的"The effects of this‘always on'culture are that your mind is never resting…Physical and mental health can suffer."可知Dr.Christine Grant认为这种"一直在线"文化会使大脑永远得不到休息,也没有时间让身体恢复,所以总是会倍感压力.所有这些都是不好的结果,可推知Dr.Christine Grant对于此种现象是持批判态度的,选C,critical批判的.confused混淆的,不解的; positive积极的,正面的; doubtful怀疑的.
31 B 细节理解题.根据短文第五段最后 It actually makes it more difficult to make decisions and many do less because they're controlled by it all…可知,由于深受大量数据的困扰,人们更难做出决定,做的工作也少了,与less productive"低效率的"含义相同.故选B.
点评 一、速读全文,了解大意知主题.
阅读能力一般指阅读速度和理解能力两个方面.阅读速度是阅读最基本的能力.考生必须在十分有限的时间内运用略读、扫读、跳读等技巧快速阅读,搜寻关键词、主题句,捕捉时空、顺序、情节、人物、观点,并且理清文章脉络,把握语篇实质.
二、看题干,带着问题读文章.
首先要掌握问题的类型,客观信息题可以从文章中直接找到答案;而主观判断题考查的是对文章的感情基调等,这类题必须经过对作者的态度、意图以及对整篇文章进行深一层的推理等.其次,了解试题题干以及各个选项所包含的信息,然后有针对性地对文章进行扫读,对有关信息进行快速定位.此法加强了阅读的针对性,提高了做题的准确率.
三、逻辑推理,做好深层理解题.
在实际阅读中,有时作者并未把意图说出来,阅读者要根据字面意思,通过语篇逻辑关系,研究细节的暗示,推敲作者的态度,理解文章的寓义.要求读者对文字的表面信息进行分析、挖掘和逻辑推理,不能就事论事,以偏概全.推理题在提问中常用的词有:infer,imply,suggest,indicate等.
四、猜词悟义,扫除阅读拦路虎.
猜词是应用英语的重要能力.它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文,而且要有较大的泛读量,掌握或认识较多的课外词汇.我们要学会"顺藤摸瓜",通过构词,语法,定义,同位,对比,因果,常识,上下文等线索确定词义.
I had a philosophy(哲学)professor,whose untidy appearance was highlighted(突出)by a (41)Bport coat and poor-fitting thick glasses,which often (42)Con the tip of his nose.Every now and then,as most philosophy professors do,he would go off on one of those hard-to-understand"what's the meaning of(43)A"discussions.Many of those discussions went(44)D,but there were a few that really hit home(切中要害).This was one of them.
"(45)B to the following questions by a (46)A of hands,"my professor instructed.
"How many of you can tell me something about your parents?"Everyone's (47)B.
"How many of you can tell me something about your grandparents?"About three-fourths put up their hands.
"How many of you can tell me something about your (48)C?"Two out of sixty students raised their hands.
"Look around the room,"he said,"In just two short generations(49)D any of us even know (50)Dour own great-grandparents were.Oh sure,maybe we have an old photograph in a musty(发霉的)cigar box.(51)A maybe we know the classic family(52)B about how one of them walked five miles to school barefoot.But how many of us (53)D know who they were,what they thought,what they took pride in,what they were afraid of,or what they dreamed about?Think about that.Within three generations our ancestors are all but forgotten.Will this (54)A to you?"
"Here's a better question.Look (55)B three generations.You are long (56)C.Instead of you sitting in this room,now it's your great-grandchildren.What will they have to say (57)D you?Will they know about you?Or will you be (58)A,too?"
"Is your life going to be a (59)C or an example?What legacy will you leave?The (60)D is yours.Class dismissed."
Nobody rose from their seats for five minutes.
