4.Are you a media addict who would go mad after two hours without TV,friend requests,exciting online games and your mobile-or would you easily survive?
Recently,university students around the world were asked to volunteer in a global experiment called Unplugged.It was designed to see how young people would react if they were asked to observe a total media ban (禁令)by unplugging (切断,拨掉)all forms of media devices for 24hours.
Unplugged is being run by Dr Roman Gerodimos,a lecturer in Communication and Journalism at Bournemouth University.Dr Gerodimos said there were already signs of how much the exercise affected volunteers."They're reporting withdrawal symptoms (脱瘾症状),overeating,feeling nervous,lonely and disconnected."
During the 24-hour experiment,three of the experiment's guinea pigs had to bear one intrusion (侵扰)from the media:a BBC reporter and cameraman who followed them around for the day.They were asked to write down 100lines about their day offline,but of course,they all waited until the next day when they had access to their laptops.
Elliot Day wrote:‘Today,my whole morning routine (常规)was thrown up into the air______.Despite being aware of the social importance of the media,I was surprised by how empty my life felt without the radio or newspapers."
And Charlotte Gay wrote:"I have to say the most difficult item for me to be without has been my mobile; not only is it a social tool,it's my main access point of communication."
Earlier in the year,a UK government study found that in the UK we spend about half our waking hours using the media,often plugged into several things at once.
So,with technology continuing to develop at an alarming rate,how much time will you set aside for sleep in the future?

45.What's the purpose of the first paragraph?C
A.To ask for information.
B.To entertain the readers.
C.To lead to the topic.
D.To present an idea.
46.About Dr.Roman Gerodimos'experiment,we know thatA.
A.volunteers felt uncomfortable in it
B.three pigs were included in it
C.a BBC reporter discussed the experiment
D.volunteers were allowed to take their laptops
47.The underlined expression"Was thrown up into the air"in the sixth paragraph
meansB.
A.went on normally    B.was completely disturbed
C.turned out perfect  D.was badly designed
48.Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?B
A.Surviving without the Media
B.Unplugging Your Life
C.Valuing Social Communication
D.Setting Aside Time for Sleep.

分析 本文主要介绍了一项年轻人在24小时内没有电子设备时的生活感受的实验,进而作者发出随着科技进步,在未来又会留出多长时间来睡觉呢?

解答 45.C 推理判断题.第一段讲到如果你在两小时内没有电视,交友请求,网络游戏和你的手机时,你会发疯吗?第二段It wasdesigned to see how young people would react if they were asked to observe atotal media ban by unplugging all forms of media devices for 24 hours.可知,举出事例说明有一项针对年青人在24小时内没有任何形式的媒体设备时,他们是如何反应的实验.可知,第一段是为了引出下文的主题.故选C
46.A 归纳总结题.根据第三段的They're reporting withdrawal symptoms,overeating,feelingnervous,lonely and disconnected.可知志愿者报道脱瘾症状,暴饮暴食,感觉紧张,寂寞和无助,所以他们在实验中感觉不舒服.故选A.
47.B 词义猜测题.根据下文I was surprised by howempty my life felt without the radio or newspapers.他感到没有收音机或报纸,自己的生活很空虚,可知他的日常工作被完全扰乱了,而不能说日常生活设计很糟糕,排除D,故选B.
48.B 主旨大意题.结合全文,第二段讲这项全球性实验的名称是Unplugged.文章围绕人们对没有电子设备的生活的感受,所以选项B更为形象,即让你的生活不插电.而A只在第一段最后一句提到生存,故排除A,文中并不是主要讨论重视社会交流,所以排除C,D只在最后一段出现,所以排除.故选B.

点评 本文是科教类阅读,主要考查学生的推理判断能力.在做推理判断题时不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.

19.More than half of young black men in the United States do not finish high school.Many grow up without fathers and in neighborhoods with gangs,drugs and violence.Sixty percent of those who drop out of school have spent time in prison by the age of thirty-five.
Joe Marshall co-founded the Omega Boys Club in San Francisco,California,twenty-three years ago.Mr.Marshall tries to give boys-and girls-a safe refuge and a chance at a better future.Every week,he has two basic messages for his young students:"Stop the violence"and"Don't do drugs."
Mr.Marshall taught math in middle school and expected to see his best students go to college.
He got a lot of horror stories-a lot of his former students ended up dead or in prison for selling drugs,being involved in gangs,and girls ended up getting pregnant(怀孕).
The Omega Boys Club serves more than four hundred young people every year.Two times a week,it offers after-school classes in math,reading,family and life skills,and college preparation.
Joe Marshall sees gangs and violence as a disease that needs to be dealt with as a public health problem."That's what these young people get.They develop a street mentality-anger,fear and pain.Then we tell them to follow some new rules for living that will decrease their chances of ending up dead or in prison and increase their chances dramatically of staying alive and free."
But his most effective way to spread his anti-violence message is through radio.In 1991,Joe Marshall started"Street Soldiers,"a weekly call-in show.Marlena,one of the graduates of the Omega Boys Club,is at Southern University right now,going into her third year.She talked about what she had learned by coming to Omega,by listening to"Street Soldiers,"and she said she had learned how to love herself.
The club provides guidance and financial assistance to help students stay in school.Over ninety percent of members who were accepted into college have graduated.
41.The passage is mainly aboutD.
A.what problems many young black men are faced with
B.how Mr.Marshall helps his students to go to college
C.why many young black men end up in prison
D.how an organization helps young black people

D.prove the importance of after-school classes
43."Street Soldiers"isD.
A.an armed force              B.a gang of blacks
C.a TV program               D.a radio program
44.According to the passage,which of the following is true?C
A.The Omega Boys Club help the government to keep male students at school.
B.Gangs and violence are public health problems that need to be dealt with.
