2024屆湖北省黃岡市高考英語閱讀理解二輪精練：39（含解析）

　　湖北黃岡市2024高考英語閱讀理解二輪精練（39）及（解析）答案

　　閱讀下列四篇短文，從每小題后所給的A,B,C或D四個選項中，選出最佳選項。

　　A funny thing happened on the way to the communications revolution: we stopped talking to one another.

　　I was walking in the park with a friend recently, and his cell phone rang, interrupting our conversation.There we were, walking and talking on a beautiful sunny day and…I became invisible, absent from the conversation.

　　The telephone used to connect you to the absent.Now it makes people sitting next to you feel absent.Why is it that the more connected we get, the more disconnected I feel? Every advance in communications technology is a tragedy to the closeness of human interaction.With e-mail and instant messaging over the Internet, we can now communicate without seeing or talking to one another.With voice mail, you can conduct entire conversations without ever reaching anyone.If my mom has a question, I just leave the answer on her machine.

　　As almost every contact we can imagine between human beings gets automated, the alienation(疏遠) index goes up.

　　You can't even call a person to get the phone number of another person anymore.Directory assistance is almost always fully automated.

　　I am not against modern technology.I own a cell phone, an ATM card, a voice-mail system, and an e-mail account.Giving them up isn't wise, they're a great help to us.It's some of their possible consequences that make me feel uneasy.

　　More and more, I find myself hiding behind e-mail to do a job meant for conversation, or being relieved that voice mail picked up because I didn' t really have time to talk.The industry devoted to helping me keep in touch is making me lonelier, or at least facilitating my antisocial instincts.

　　So I've put myself on technology restriction: no instant messaging with people who live near me, no cell-phoning in the presence of friends, no letting the voice mail pick up when I'm at home.

　　1．Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?

　　A.The Advance of Communications Technology

　　B.The Consequences of Modern Technology

　　C.The Story of the Communications Revolution

　　D.The Automation of Modern Communications

　　2．The sentence “Now it makes people sitting next to you feel absent” means that _________.

　　A．the people sitting beside you have to go away to receive phone call

　　B．you can hardly get in touch with the people sitting beside you

　　C．modern technology makes it hard for people to have a face-to-face talk

　　D．people can now go to work without going to the office

　?。甌he writer feels that the use of modern communications is

　　_________.

　　A．satisfyingB．encouraging

　　C．modern technology is developing too fast

　　D．modern technology is interrupting our communication

　?。甒hat does the underlined word “facilitating” mean?

　　【要點綜述】 本文主要論述現代技術的消極影響——現代技術的使用在疏遠人與人之間的距離。

　　1. B　主旨大意題。本文主要論述了現代技的影響。

　　. C　句意理解題。第一段作者提出：通訊革命使我們不再面對面地交談；第二段作者舉自己生活的一例來予以說明； 第三段作者感慨“Now it makes people sitting next to you feel absent”，即其意應為：現在技術使人們很難有面對面的交談。故選C項。

　　. D　推理判斷題。根據第五段可知，作者并不反對現代技術，也認為它極有幫助，只是某一些結果讓他感到不安，比如第二段中他所舉的生活例子。由此判斷他會認為使用現代技術有時令人感到尷尬，故選D項。

　　. B　推理判斷題。根據第四段可推斷現代技術正在疏遠人們之間的關系，故選B項。

　　. A　詞義猜測題。畫線詞所在的這一段主要在講述現代技術對他的消極影響，因此他才決定限制自己對現代技術的使用。由此判斷畫線詞應意為“加深”，即：加重他的不愛交際的天性。故選A項。閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項。The women’s college had a very small car park, and because several of the teachers and students, and many of the students’ boyfriends, had cars, it was often?difficult to find a place to park.

　　【2024高考訓練】閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C、D）中，選出最佳選項。There are many ways to find a job. It can be as easy as walking into a neighborhood store to look at its announcement board . Local stores often have areas where people can put small signs telling what kind of service they need or can provide. Such services include caring for children or cleaning houses.

　　Or，job searchers can look in the newspaper. Local newspapers have employment announcements placed by companies seeking workers.

　　Another popular tool for finding jobs is the Internet. For example, people in four hundred and fifty cities around the world can use the Craigslist Web site to buy objects，meet people or find a job. Craigslist says that it receives two million new job listings each month.

　　Another useful way to find a job is through a college or university. For example，students at the University of Texas in Austin can go to the Career Exploration Center to get help in finding a job. Of course，looking for a job requires knowing what kind of work you want to do. For example，there is a book called "What Color is Your Parachute（降落傘）？”by Richard Bolles. This book has been helping people choose a career（職業(yè)）since it was first published in 1970．

　　Some experts also help people find jobs. Susan W.Miller owns a company called California Career Services in Los Angeles．She says her company helps people find jobs by first helping them understand their strengths, goals and interests. Then she provides them with methods and resources to help them find the right job.

　　“I didn't hear them call my name，” explained Shelley Hennig to Active Teens (AT) as she talked about that exciting moment on national television when she won the honor of Miss Teen USA 2004. “Are you ready？”is what she heard.Then she said，“I shook my head no，and then they said ‘yes’and it was announced again.”

　　It was four days after that life changing moment for the seventeen-year-old high school student from Destrehan, Louisiana-she was still on_cloud_nine.

　　“I was so shocked! I never believed that it could actually really happen. ”Present in the audience (觀眾) that day were: her mother and father, older brother, her friends, and her dance teacher.

　　Understanding why members of her family and her friends would be there，AT asked why her dance teacher had traveled so far to see her compete (比賽). “She's always been my role model. I've danced with her since I was six. She's been through so many difficulties and came through them all. I've learned to get over bad life's experiences and learned how to move on because of her.”

　　One of those bad life's experiences for Shelley happened three years ago when her brother Brad was killed in a drunk driving accident. He was 18. She found writing helped her get through the rough days. She said, “I write a lot about my brother. I write a lot, a lot，a lot...”

　　As Miss Louisiana Teen, she traveled around the state speaking to teens (青少年) about the dangers of drinking and driving. In her role as Miss Teen USA, Shelley will continue to speak to youth about safe driving，in addition to many other things to help the youth.

　　When AT asked Miss Teen USA if she had any advice for our readers, she said, “Don't let anyone change you. Hang out with people that make you feel good about yourself. That way，it is easy to be yourself.”

　　人生要經歷許多苦難，但不管怎樣都要勇敢面對，不能讓任何人改變你自己。
