【題目】閱讀表達(dá)

閱讀下面短文，并按照題目要求用英語回答問題。

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 (刻度盤) 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.”

試題分析:文章講述了在科技越來越發(fā)達(dá)的條件下，我們不能忘記了人們的基本需求。

【1】He used to sit in the chair, listening to his radio.考察細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文意my grandfather, was always in his room sitting in the chair and listening to the radio可知Jack經(jīng)常在他的屋子里坐在椅子上聽收音機(jī)。

【2】To find a clear signal.考察細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文意He would roll the black dial (刻度盤) back and forth until the signal was clear.可知Jack不停地?fù)芘�著刻度盤是為了信號清晰。

【3】He is feeling lonely and sad.考察細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文意It makes me lonely and sad.可知他感覺到很孤獨(dú)和悲傷。

【4】Remove.考察詞意推測題。根據(jù)文意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可知你可以消除信號的聲音，但你消除不了大自然的聲音，由此詞意是“消除”的意思。

【5】We should reduce the time we spend on the Internet and find more time to communicate with others.考察主旨大意。根據(jù)文意在科技越來越發(fā)達(dá)的條件下，我們不能忘記了人們的基本需求，我們要有更多與人交流的時間和機(jī)會。
