模塊2U2一、閱讀理解。閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。Some people are so rude!Who sends an email or a text message that just says “Thank you”？Who leaves a voice mail message rather than texts you？Who asks for a fact easily found on Google？Dont these people realize that theyre wasting your time?Maybe Im the rude one for not appreciating lifes little politeness.But many social agreed standards just dont make sense to people drowning in digital munication.In texts，you dont have to declare who you are or even say hello.Email，too，is slower than a text.Voice mail is a now impolite way of trying to connect.My father learned this lesson after leaving me a dozen voice mail messages，none of which I listened to.Exasperated，he called my sister to express his dissatisfaction that I never returned his phone calls.“Why are you leaving him voice mail？” my sister asked.“Just text him.”In the age of the smartphone，there is no reason to ask onceacceptable questions about：the weather forecast，a businesss phone number，or directions to a house，a restaurant，which can be easily found on Google Maps.But people still ask these things.And when you answer，they respond with a thankyou email.How to handle these differing standards？Easy.Consider your audience.Some people，especially older ones，appreciate a thankyou message.Others，like me，want no reply.The anthropologist(人類學(xué)家)Margaret Mead once said that in traditional societies，the young learn from the old.But in modern societies，the old can also learn from the young.Heres hoping that politeness never goes out of fashion but that timewasting forms of munication do.1What does the underlined word “Exasperated” mean in the fifth paragraph?AWorried. BSurprised.CAnnoyed. DTired.2Why didnt the writer reply to his father?AHe liked text messages better.BHe enjoyed checking his voice mail.CHe didnt receive any voice mail messages.DHe didnt want to talk with his father.3Which of the following does the writer agree to?APeople neednt learn from one another in traditional societies.BDealing with voice mail should vary with each individual.CPeople neednt turn to Google for help when in trouble.DDeclaring who you are or saying hello in texts is necessary.4Whats the best title of this passage?ANowadays：what should we do with text messages?BNowadays：do you like leaving others a voice message?CNowadays：what means should we use in munication?DNowadays：do you need a thankyou message?【解題導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇議論文，主要討論了如今在智能手機(jī)時(shí)代，人們應(yīng)該選擇何種方式進(jìn)行溝通。【難句分析】Heres hoping that politeness never goes out of fashion but that timewasting forms of munication do.分析：本句是一個(gè)復(fù)合句。兩個(gè)that引導(dǎo)賓語從句，在從句中不作句子成分。譯文：希望禮貌永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)過時(shí)，但是浪費(fèi)時(shí)間的溝通方式會(huì)過時(shí)。1C考查詞義猜測(cè)。根據(jù)第五段第二句的“he called my sister to express his dissatisfaction that I never returned his phone calls”可知，作者的父親對(duì)作者不給自己回電話很不滿，由此可推知exasperated意思是“惱怒的，生氣的”，故選C。2A考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第五段中的“Why are you leaving him voice mail？my sister asked.Just text him.”可推知，作者不喜歡用語音信箱，更偏愛發(fā)短信，故選A。3B考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第七段的內(nèi)容可推知，標(biāo)準(zhǔn)是變化的，處理方式應(yīng)該因人而異，而不是一刀切，語音信箱的使用亦是如此，故選B。A項(xiàng)錯(cuò)在傳統(tǒng)社會(huì)中的人們不需要向他人學(xué)習(xí)，這與最后一段第一句“The anthropologist(人類學(xué)家)Margaret Mead once said that in traditional societies，the young learn from the old”相悖；C項(xiàng)錯(cuò)在人們有麻煩不需要借助Google，這與第六段的內(nèi)容不符；D項(xiàng)錯(cuò)在在短信里表明你是誰或問好是有必要的，這與第四段第一句“In texts, you dont have to declare who you are or even say hello”相悖，故排除。4C考查標(biāo)題判斷。根據(jù)對(duì)文章內(nèi)容的整體理解可知，第三段引入本文話題，最后兩段點(diǎn)題總結(jié)，本文主要討論的是如今(在智能手機(jī)時(shí)代)我們應(yīng)該用何種方式溝通，故選C項(xiàng)。A項(xiàng)錯(cuò)在只提及了現(xiàn)在我們應(yīng)該如何應(yīng)對(duì)短信，這忽略了文章中有關(guān)語音信息的內(nèi)容，有以偏概全之嫌；B項(xiàng)錯(cuò)在只提及了你是否喜歡留語音信息給他人，這也只是文章的一部分，而非全部；D項(xiàng)錯(cuò)在現(xiàn)在是否需要留感謝信息，這只是文章中提到的一小部分內(nèi)容，而非文章主旨，故排除。二、單項(xiàng)填空1.Busy with their business, they had no time to _ their wedding, so they had it organized by a pany.A.accelerate B.arrange C.approve D.acknowledge【答案】B【解析】句意：他們沒有時(shí)間安排婚禮。accelerate慶祝；arrange安排；approve贊同；acknowledge意識(shí)到。故選B。2.Reports from Chad suggest that rebel forces are _ on the capitalA. attacking B. advancingC. contradicting D. reflecting【答案】B【解析】advance前進(jìn)；attack及物動(dòng)詞：襲擊，攻擊。句意：來自乍得的報(bào)告顯示叛軍正向首都推進(jìn)。3.In order to rescue the miners caught in the flood quickly, the rescuers have got a busy _.
