【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】 ng the relationship between family members. As young people give so much attention to their own worlds, they seem to have no time to spend with the other people around them. They can no longer greet family members when they enter the house, nor can they eat at the family table.Multitasking also affects young people’s performance at university and in the workplace. When asked about their opinion of the effect of modern gadgets(器具)on their performance of tasks, many young people gave a positive response(反應(yīng)). However, the response from the worlds of education and business was not quite as positive. Educators feel that multitasking by children has a serious effect on later development of study skills. They believe that many college students now need help to improve their study skills. Similarly, employers feel that young people entering the job market need to be taught all over again, as modern gadgets have made it unnecessary for them to learn special skills to do their work.55．What does the underlined word “juggle” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?A. Want to buy.B. Take the place of.C. Use at the same time.D. Seek for information from.56．In Paragraph 3, the author points out that ______.A. family members do not eat at the family tableB. family members do not greet each otherC. young people live happily in their familiesD. young people seldom talk with their family members57．What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A. Multitasking is harmful to young people’s development.B. Young people benefit a lot from modern gadgets.C. Multitasking is an important skill to young people.D. Young people must learn skills for future jobs.58．The author develops the passage mainly by ______.A. providing typical examplesB. following the natural time orderC. paring opinions from different fieldsD. presenting a cause and analyzing its effects[答案]55．C。詞義猜測(cè)題。后面一句說(shuō)，工作時(shí)，年輕人往往同時(shí)使用多種電子設(shè)備，這一句與第一句是并列句，第一句說(shuō)他們?cè)趯W(xué)習(xí)時(shí)同時(shí)使用多種電子設(shè)備，所以選擇C。56．D。細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第三段的第二、三兩句話(huà)，可以很明顯地判斷出來(lái)。57．A。段落大意題。最后一段中，教育學(xué)家指出，多任務(wù)處理對(duì)于孩子后期的學(xué)習(xí)技能的培養(yǎng)有不良影響，即多任務(wù)處理對(duì)年輕人的發(fā)展有害。58．D。結(jié)構(gòu)題。這道題目比較新穎，問(wèn)的是作者是通過(guò)什么手法來(lái)寫(xiě)這篇文章的。很明顯作者先寫(xiě)了在年輕人中存在的multitasking這種現(xiàn)象，然后說(shuō)明這個(gè)現(xiàn)象帶來(lái)的影響或后果。所以選擇D。C(2009安徽)Sometimes, the simplest ideas are the best. For example, to absorb heat from the sun to heat water, you need large, flat, black surfaces. One way to do that is to build those surfaces specially, on the roofs of buildings. But why go to all that trouble when cities are full of black surfaces already, in the form of asphalt(柏油) roads?Ten years ago, this thought came into the mind of Arian de Bondt, a Dutch engineer. He finally persuaded his boss to follow it up. The result is that their building is now heated in winter and cooled in summer by a system that relies on the surface of the road outside.The heat－collector is a system of connected water pipes. Most of them run from one side of the street to the other, just under the asphalt road. Some, however, dive deep into the ground.When the street surface gets hot in summer, water pumped through the pipes picks up this heat and takes it underground through one of the diving pipes. At a depth of 100 metres lies a natural aquifer(蓄水層) into which several heat exchangers(交換器) have been built. The hot water from the street runs through these exchangers, warming the groundwater, before returning to the surface through another pipe. The aquifer is thus used as a heat store.In winter, the working system is changed slightly. Water is pumped through the heat exchangers to pick up the heat stored during summer. This water goes into the building and is used to warm the place up. After performing that task, it is pumped under the asphalt and its remaining heat keeps the road free of snow and ice.59．Which of the following is TRUE according to the first two paragraphs?A. Arian de Bondt got his idea from his boss.B. Large, flat, black surfaces need to be built in cities.C. The Dutch engineer’s system has been widely used.D. Heat can also be collected from asphalt roads.60．For what purpose are the diving pipes used?A. To absorb heat from the sun.B. To store heat for future use.C. To turn solar energy into heat energy.D. To carry heat down below the surface.61．From the last paragraph we can learn that ______.A. some pipes have to be re－arranged in winterB. the system can do more than warming up the buildingC. the exchangers will pick up heat from the street surfaceD. less heat may be collected in winter than in summer62．What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?A. What we shall do if the system goes wrong.B. What we shall do if there are no asphalt roads.C. How the system cools the building in summer.D. How the system collects heat in spring and autumn.[答案]文章介紹了怎樣依靠外面的柏油馬路表面在冬天給樓房供暖，在夏天給樓房降溫。59．D。細(xì)節(jié)判斷題。由文章第二段最后一句話(huà)可以得出答案。60．D。細(xì)節(jié)判斷題。由文章第四段第一句話(huà)的內(nèi)容可以得出答案。61．B。推測(cè)判斷題。由文章最后一段最后一句的內(nèi)容可知，這一系統(tǒng)不僅能給樓房供暖，還可以使馬路上的冰雪消融。62．C。文章結(jié)構(gòu)題。前面談到這一系統(tǒng)的工作原理
