7.When we were growing up in our grandparents'home,Jack,my grandfather,was always in his room sitting in the chair and listening to the radio.The voices speaking from the metal box day and night,taught us that there was a larger world outside.He would roll the black dial (刻度盘) back and forth until the signal was clear.Then he would listen.
Now he is old and falls ill.When I went to visit him,he said to me,"I dislike the Internet.The problem is that we're losing primary contact with each other.No more shaking hands.Everyone is so busy.We want too much and in the process of getting it we miss so much."He stopped for a while."It makes me lonely and sad."Then he looked at me,"I just want to hear your voices."
I think of all the voices on the radio he has spent a lifetime listening to.I asked,"How did you become interested in radio?""I don't know,"he said."It was another way to reach people.I was always interested in searching for a better signal,a clearer,more powerful signal that could communicate with someone somewhere."
"And I'll tell you another funny thing:you can electronically  eliminate all kinds of noise from the signal,but you can't remove natural noise caused by thunder and lightning,rainstorms,or snowstorms."
He closed his eyes and smiled."I was just thinking that in spite of all our technologies,maybe we haven't progressed that far as human beings.We shouldn't forget we still have the same basic needs."

57.Why did Jack roll the black dial back and forth?(No more than 5words)

分析 本文作者通过讲述自己的祖父Jack曾经爱听收音机的习惯以及祖父Jack对互联网的看法,旨在说明我们应该减少上网的时间,多拿出些时间来与人交流,尤其应该多与老人进行直接的交流,以去除他们的孤独感.

解答 答案:
56.He used to sit in the chair,listening to his radio.   
细节理解题    根据第一段中的"Jack,my grandfather,was always in his room sitting in the chair and listening to the radio"可知,作者的祖父Jack总是在他的房间里坐在椅子上,听收音机;故答案概括为:He used to sit in the chair,listening to his radio.(11个单词)
57.To find a clear signal.
细节理解题    根据第一段中的"He would roll the black dial (刻度盘) back and forth until the signal was clear.(他来回地拨弄着黑色表盘,直到信号清晰为止)"可知,Jack这样做的目的是为了找到清晰的信号;故答案概括为:To find a clear signal.(5个单词)
58.He is feeling lonely and sad.
细节推理题    根据第二段中的"I dislike the Internet."以及"It makes me lonely and sad."可知,Jack不喜欢互联网,因为它使他感到孤独与悲伤;故答案概括为:He is feeling lonely and sad.(6个单词)
59.Remove.
词义猜测题   根据第四段中的"…but you can't remove natural noise caused by thunder and lightning,rainstorms,or snowstorms."(..但你却不能去除掉由雷电,暴雨,或暴风雪造成的天然的噪声)可推测出前一句"you can electronically  eliminate all kinds of noise from the signal"的意思:你可以通过电子手段消除信号中的各种噪声";因此,"remove"应与划线部分的单词是同义词;故答案为:remove(6个单词)
60.We should reduce the time we spend on the Internet and find more time to communicate with others.
内容归纳题    本题问的是:你怎样做才能解决失去与他人直接交流的问题?根据文中第二段"I dislike the Internet.The problem is that we're losing primary contact with each other.No more shaking hands.Everyone is so busy."可知,由于有了互联网以后,人们都忙着上网了,才使得人们失去了直接接触的机会;故答案概括为:We should reduce the time we spend on the Internet and find more time to communicate with others.

4.This summer,Monika Lutz's life took an unusual turn.Instead of heading off to college,the high school graduate packed her bags for a Bengali jungle.Lutz,like a growing number of other young Americans,is taking a year off.Gap(间隔) years  are quite common in Britain and Australia,but they are just beginning to catch on in the U.S.Lutz,who grew up in Boulder,Colo.,has put together a 14-month schedule that includes helping deliver solar power to some communities in India and interning (实习) for a fashion designer in Shanghai---experiences that are worlds away from the lecture halls and university dormitories that await other students."I could not be happier,"she says.
 Why are students attracted to the gap-year concept?According to new survey data from Karl Haigler and Rae Nelson,education-policy experts and co-authors of The Gap-Year Advantage,the most common reason for this is to avoid burnout."I felt like I was focused on college as a means to an end,"says Kelsi Morgan,an incoming Middlebury College freshman who spent last year interning for a judge in Tulsa,Okla.,and teaching English at an orphanage in the Dominican Republic.The hope is that after a year out of the classroom,students will enter college more energized,focused and mature.That can be an advantage for colleges too.Robert Clagett,dean of admissions at Middlebury,did some research a few years ago and found that a single gap semester was the strongest predictor of academic success at his school.
 Most experts recommend securing a spot in college before taking a gap year and warn against using the time off to lengthen your resume."Most admissions folks can see right through that,"says Jim Jump,the academic dean of St.Christopher's School in Richmond,Va.But for students like Lutz,who,after getting rejected from five Ivies,decided to take time off,a gap year can help focus interests.Lutz now plans to apply mostly to non-Ivies that have strong marketing programs."This experience has really opened my eyes to the opportunities the world has to offer,"she says.
 But at least one education expert doesn't want schools spreading the gap-year message.In a study that followed 11,000 members of the high school class of 1992 for eight years after graduation,Stefanie DeLuca,a sociology professor at Johns Hopkins University,found that,all things being equal,those who delayed college by a year were 64% less likely to complete a bachelor's degree than those who didn't.DeLuca did not say whether these students voluntarily started college late,but at the very least,her work indicates that taking a gap year doesn't guarantee success."I'm not going to say that time off does not have benefits,"says DeLuca."But I think we should not be so enthusiastic."
67.The students take gap years mainly becauseB.
A.they want to be more unusual   
B.they want to refresh themselves 
C.some experts advise them to do so  
D.their parents think it good for them
68.According to Lutz,the gap year has made her moreC

69.Stefanie DeLuca probably agrees thatA.
A.students should think twice before taking gap years
B.taking gap years enables students to achieve success
C.schools should encourage their students to take gap years
D.taking gap years increases students'chances of getting a good job
70.What's the author's attitude towards gap years?D
A.Sceptical.B.Positive.C.Disapproving.D.Objective.
