【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,選擇最佳答案。
One day, I took an underground to work, I saw something that made me very sad. On the tube (underground in London), a mother kept looking at her phone screen and playing a game with her daughter sitting beside her. The little girl, about 5 years old, was talking to her mother about herday, repeating the next stop's name cheerfully, praising her mother's long nails—trying to draw her mother's attention. Her mother just nodded and mumbled "Mm, hm" with her eyes glued to the screen, busy passing the levels of the game. I watched the girl give a final try to at least get her mum to look at her, but it was no use. Then the little girl turned silent. It was a shame the mother didn't notice that.
It broke my heart and got me wondering—what kind of game would make the mother forget she has the most beautiful thing in the world, the human she created, the person she loves with all her heart? What it meant when she couldn't look into her daughter's eyes and even stop to listen to the girl?
Some parents are almost like the teenagers, always on their phones with mindless games or going through Facebook. Perhaps parents have many things to deal with, but sometimes they are everything to their kids.
This is not an isolated example. I've seen too many such examples. I might not be a parent myself, and probably still have a long way before becoming one, but I know what I saw isn't right.
The scene used to be seen among teenagers very often when parents complained how their children were crazy about their mobile phones. Look how the situation has changed! The parents have become "technology slaves", that is to say, they can't control themselves while using mobile phones. Now some middle-aged parents hold the best iPhones or Samsung phones, which are probably the only two brands they know. They are playing the simple games with so expensive mobile phones. I'm uncertain whether to laugh or to cry. But my hope is that this storm passes.
(1)Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.The girl failed to attract her mother's attention.
B.The mother felt sorry after her daughter turned silent.
C.The writer has much experience about being a parent.
D.Middle-aged parents know many brands of mobile phones.
(2)The underlined word "isolated" in Paragraph 4 means .
A.spreading fast
B.happening once
C.increasing quickly
D.appearing suddenly
(3)In the passage, the writer mainly wants to express .
A.the worries that children are crazy about mobile phones
B.the happiness that parents are now able to use modern technology
C.the sadness that the best smart pldones cost parents too much money
D.the hope that parents use new technology4ike smart phones properly
(4)What's the best title of the passage?
A.Middle-aged parents
B.A scene on the tube
C.Technology slaves
D.Mindless phone games

【答案】
(1)A
(2)B
(3)D
(4)C
【解析】文章大意:這篇短文的作者通過描述地鐵上的一個玩手機的母親忽視對女兒的關注的事情向人們介紹現(xiàn)在許多人成為技術(shù)的奴隸,在使用手機時,他們無法控制自己。作者對這一現(xiàn)象非常擔心,希望父母能合理使用手機。
(1)是非判斷題。根據(jù)I watched the girl give a final try to at least get her mum to look at her, but it was no use.可知小女孩的母親沒有注意她,故選A。
(2)詞義猜測題。根據(jù)后文I've seen too many such examples我曾經(jīng)見過太多那樣的例子,可知那不是個例,故選B。
(3)推理判斷題。根據(jù)短文中作者通過描述一個玩手機的母親忽視對女兒的關注表達了對現(xiàn)在父母玩手機的擔心,希望父母合理使用手機。故選D。
(4)標題歸納題。A. Middle-aged parents 中年父母親; B. A scene on the tube地鐵上的事件;C. Technology slaves 技術(shù)的奴隸; D. Mindless phone games不動腦筋的手機游戲。根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容可知重點不是描述父母親及手機游戲,作者想通過地鐵上的這件事情,表示許多的人成為技術(shù)的奴隸,表達作者對這一狀況的擔心,希望父母合理使用手機的愿望。故選C。

【題目】任務型閱讀

With more and more cars on the road, traffic jams (堵車) are inevitable. Traffic jams can lead to more accidents as there are more cars, with more people trying to get to their destination, all the while getting worse. Although it's impossible to avoid traffic jams altogether, there are some tips you can follow to reduce the amount of time on the road.
Check for traffic jams before you leave. You can listen to the radio for traffic news, or check on the Internet to get up-to-minute information on traffic. If the route you want to take is heavy with traffic, you can choose another.
Look for a different route all the time. Most traffic jams happen on busy roads. Using country roads could avoid a lot of traffic. Although the distance you may have to travel is further, it can work out quicker.
Set your car radio to receive traffic bulletins. Many new car stereo systems (汽車音響系統(tǒng)) are equipped with a radio system by which you can hear the traffic channel. This way you can get the latest traffic information and change your journey if necessary.
__________. Most traffic jams usually occur(發(fā)生) during rush hour, so try to avoid this time period if possible. Some jobs offer flexible working hours so that you can travel to work outside of rush hour. Some jobs even allow you to work at home so as to avoid moving altogether. Ask your manager to see what you can do if traffic is a problem for you.
Use public transport instead. The easiest way to avoid traffic jams is to take buses or the underground instead of driving your own car. Not only will you avoid traffic jams but you will most likely be saving money.
(1)How many suggestions are there mentioned to reduce

(2)Translate the underlined sentence into Chinese.

(3)Which of the following can be put in the blank in the text? (no more than 8 words)
.
