We heavily rely on technology和we are constantly looking down at our phones and other devices”可知，我們對高科技是如此依賴，我們的生活中充滿了高科技的產(chǎn)品，以至于我們總是看著手機(jī)或者其他的高科技設(shè)備，作者覺得這是一個問題。這些電子設(shè)備分散了人們的注意力。故選A。 （2）考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)第二段中的“I personally love being able to sit down and have a conversation with someone”可知，作者個人喜歡能夠坐下來和人面對面的交談；再根據(jù)“The cell phone can wait until later”手機(jī)稍后再說，可知，交談時沒有手機(jī)和其他的干擾。故選B。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第四段中的“that isn39。t a pletely bad thing, given its use in areas such as medicine”考慮到科技在醫(yī)學(xué)等領(lǐng)域的應(yīng)用，這并不完全是一件壞事，可知，作者對高科技在醫(yī)學(xué)方面的應(yīng)用持支持的態(tài)度。故選D。 （4）考查推理判斷。分析文章結(jié)構(gòu)可知，文中第一段引出問題：人們過多地使用電子設(shè)備；在第二、三段作者談及了自己對現(xiàn)狀的看法； 第四段作者提出觀點(diǎn)“we shouldn39。t be addicted to so many of these devices”，作者覺得我們不能如此依賴電子設(shè)備。故選A 。 【點(diǎn)評】本題考點(diǎn)涉及詞義猜測和推理判斷兩個題型的考查，是一篇教育類閱讀，考生需要根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，從而選出正確答案。4．閱讀理解 Ask any new college graduate about his immediate goals, and it is likely that he will tell you he wants a job. But it turns out that today39。s students are not going to be satisfied with any job. According to the latest survey, making a difference through their work is essential(必要的) to young people39。s happiness. The survey found that 72 percent of graduating college seniors believe being able to have a positive social influence through their work is essential to their happiness. Making a difference is so important to them that 45 percent say they would take a 15 percent pay cut to work at an organization that has a social or environmental influence, and 58 percent say they would take a pay cut to work for an organization whose values are the same as their own. Besides this, the survey found that female students are far more likely to put social influence in first place than their male classmates, echoing the results of a former study showing that female maths and science majors are more likely to say they go into those fields to make a difference. One reason for the emphasis(強(qiáng)調(diào)) on improving the world probably has to do with the culture of colleges, which encourages students to connect their studies back to realworld problems. Students are used to discussing important social issues(問題) with their friends and professors, and doing something about them in class or through volunteer activities. Once students develop those habits, they don39。t shut them off when graduation rolls around.（1）What does the underlined word echoing in paragraph 3 probably mean? ....（2）What is one of the reasons for the emphasis on students wanting to improve the world? habits students develop in society. appearance of important social issues. encouragement of the culture of colleges. effect parents39。 education has on their children.（3）What can you learn from the passage? people will surely gain happiness if they can make a difference in their work. than half of the college seniors will take a pay cut to work with the same values. college graduates believe it important to have a positive social influence in work. graduates are all putting more social influence in first place than male graduates.（4）Which could be the best title for the passage? Students Are Concerned about Society People39。s Happiness Doesn39。t Depend on Money Bee More Interested in Challenging Jobs Graduates Would Take a Pay Cut to Make a Difference【答案】 （1）B（2）C（3）C（4）D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，通過工作能有一個積極的社會影響對年輕人的幸福至關(guān)重要。 （1）考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)第三段中的“Besides this, the survey found that female students are far more likely to put social influence in first place than their male classmates”除此之外，調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)女生比男生更有可能把社會影響放在第一位；以及“the results of a former study showing that female maths and science majors are more likely to say they go into those fields to make a difference.”以前的一項(xiàng)研究結(jié)果顯示，數(shù)學(xué)和科學(xué)專業(yè)女學(xué)生所占的比例更有可能說她們進(jìn)入這些領(lǐng)域是為了有所作為，可以推斷出兩項(xiàng)調(diào)查的結(jié)果是一致的。都說明了女性更愿意在工作中做出影響。故選B。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)最后一段中的“One reason for the emphasis(強(qiáng)調(diào)) on improving the world probably has to do with the culture of colleges, which encourages students to connect their studies back to realworld problems.”強(qiáng)調(diào)改善世界的一個原因可能與大學(xué)文化有關(guān)，大學(xué)文化鼓勵學(xué)生將他們的學(xué)習(xí)與現(xiàn)實(shí)世界的問題聯(lián)系起來。故選C。 （3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“The survey found that 72 percent of graduating college seniors believe being able to have a positive social influence through their work is essential to their happiness.”調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)，72% 的大學(xué)畢業(yè)生認(rèn)為通過工作產(chǎn)生積極的社會影響對他們的幸福至關(guān)重要。可知，多數(shù)的畢業(yè)生都認(rèn)可工作產(chǎn)生的社會影響對他們而言是重要的。故選C。 （4）考查主旨大意。通過第一段的調(diào)查結(jié)論得出：通過工作產(chǎn)生積極的社會影響對他們的幸福至關(guān)重要。所以，文章主要闡述年輕人的幸福取決于在工作中改變世界；再根據(jù)第二段中的“Making a difference is so important to them that 45 percent say they would take a 15 percent pay cut to work at an organization that has a social or environmental influence, and 58 percent say they would take a pay cut to work for an organization whose values are the same as their own.”對他們來說，改變世界是如此重要，以至于45% 的人說他們愿意接受15% 的減薪去為一個對社會或環(huán)境有影響的組織工作，58% 的人說他們愿意接受減薪去一個與他們價值觀相同的組織工作。綜上所述，選D。 【點(diǎn)評】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，詞義猜測和主旨大意三個題型的考查，是一篇教育類閱讀，要求考生在捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上，進(jìn)一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。5．閱讀理解 Exercise helps to keep us in good health. Doctors at the American Heart Association suggest getting at least 150 minutes of proper physical activity every week. Many people exercise for a few minutes every day or every other day. So, getting 150 minutes every week is easy. But what about those times when you are sick? If you do not feel well, should you keep following your exercise habit? Health experts answer these and other questions. Edward R. Laskowski is a doctor at the Mayo Clinic. He and other experts have a general rule of yes about exercising when you are sick. It is usually fine to exercise, he explains, if your symptoms (癥狀)are all above the neck. These signs may include a runny nose, a blocked nose, sneezing or a minor sore throat
