【题目】
Everywhere I look outside my home I see people busy on their high-tech devices, while driving, walking, shopping, even sitting in toilets. When connected electronically, they are away from physical reality.
People have been influenced to become technology addicted. One survey reported that “addicted” was the word most commonly used by people to describe their relationship to iPad and similar devices. One study found that people had a harder time resisting the allure of social media than they did for sleep, cigarettes and alcohol.
The main goal of technology companies is to get people to spend more money and time on their products, not to actually improve our quality of life. They have successfully created a cultural disease. Consumers willingly give up their freedom, money and time to catch up on the latest information, to keep pace with their peers or to appear modern.
I see people trapped in a pathological(病态的)relationship with time-sucking technology, where they serve technology more than technology serves them. I call this technology servitude. I am referring to a loss of personal freedom and independence because of uncontrolled consumption of many kinds of devices that eat up time and money.
What is a healthy use of technology devices? That is the vital question. Who is really in charge of my life? That is what people need to ask themselves if we are to have any chance of breaking up false beliefs about their use of technology. When we can live happily without using so much technology for a day or a week, then we can regain control and personal freedom, become the master of technology and discover what there is to enjoy in life free of technology. Mae West is famous for proclaiming the wisdom that “too much of a good thing is wonderful.” But it’s time to discover that it does not work for technology.
Richard Fernandez, an executive coach at Google acknowledged that “we can be swept away by our technologies.” To break the grand digital connection people must consider how life long ago could be fantastic without today’s overused technology.
【1】 The underlined word “allure” in Paragraph 2 probably means ______.
A. advantage
B. attraction
C. adaption
D. attempt
【2】From the passage, technology companies aim to ______.
A. attract people to buy their products
B. provide the latest information
C. improve people’s quality of life
D. deal with cultural diseases
【3】It can be inferred from this passage that people ______.
A. consider too much technology wonderful
B. have realized the harm of high-tech devices
C. can regain freedom without high-tech devices
D. may enjoy life better without overused technology
【4】 What’s the author’s attitude towards the overusing of high-tech devices?
A. Neutral.
B. Sceptical.
C. Disapproving.
D. Sympathetic.
【答案】【1】 B
【2】A
【3】 D
【4】 C
【解析】 文章作者指出了人们过度使用科技的许多弊端,反对大众对高科技设备的过度依赖。
【1】词义猜测题 根据One study found that people had a harder time resisting the allure of social media than they did for sleep, cigarettes and alcohol.一项研究发现比起睡眠、烟酒,人们更难抵制来自社会媒介的吸引力。
【2】 事实细节题 根据The main goal of technology companies is to get people to spend more money and time on their products, not to actually improve our quality of life.可以从这篇文章来看,技术公司的目标是吸引人们来买他们的产品,不是提高人们的生活质量。
【3】 推理判断题 根据To break the grand digital connection people must consider how life long ago could be fantastic without today’s overused technology.可以推断出人们如果不过度使用科技,可以更好地享受生活。
【4】 推理判断题 根据全文内容,作者指出了人们过度使用科技的许多弊端,所以作者对高科技设备的态度是反对。

第一节 阅读短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
Would it surprise you to learn that, like animals, trees communicate with each other and pass on their wealth to the next generation?
UBC Professor Simard explains how trees are much more complex than most of us ever imagined. Although Charles Darwin thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest, Simard shows just how wrong he was. In fact, the opposite is true: trees survive through their co-operation and support, passing around necessary nutrition “depending on who needs it”.
Nitrogen (氮) and carbon are shared through miles of underground fungi (真菌) networks, making sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep them all healthy. This hidden system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons (神经元) in our brains, and when one tree is destroyed, it affects all.
Simard talks about “mother trees”, usually the largest and oldest plants on which all other trees depend. She explains how dying trees pass on the wealth to the next generation, transporting important minerals to young trees so they may continue to grow. When humans cut down “mother trees” with no awareness of these highly complex “tree societies” or the networks on which they feed, we are reducing the chances of survival for the entire forest.
“We didn’t take any notice of it.” Simard says sadly. “Dying trees move nutrition into the young trees before dying, but we never give them chance.” If we could put across the message to the forestry industry, we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future.
【1】 Why does the author say “the opposite is true”?
A. Because trees compete for survival.
B. Because trees depend on each other.
C. Because trees provide support for dying trees.
D. Because trees protect their own wealth.
【2】“Mother trees” are extremely important because they ________.
A. look the largest in size in the forest
B. know more about the complex “tree societies”
C. pass on nutrition to young trees
D. seem more likely to be cut down by humans
【3】 What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to?
A. How “tree societies” work.
B. How trees grow old.
C. How forestry industry develops.
D. How young trees survive.
【4】 What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Old Trees Communicate Like Humans
B. Young Trees Are in Need of Protection
C. Trees Contribute to Our Society
D. Trees Are More Amazing Than You Think
