　　湖北黄冈市2024高考英语阅读理解二轮精练（39）及（解析）答案

　　阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

　　A funny thing happened on the way to the communications revolution: we stopped talking to one another.

　　I was walking in the park with a friend recently, and his cell phone rang, interrupting our conversation.There we were, walking and talking on a beautiful sunny day and…I became invisible, absent from the conversation.

　　The telephone used to connect you to the absent.Now it makes people sitting next to you feel absent.Why is it that the more connected we get, the more disconnected I feel? Every advance in communications technology is a tragedy to the closeness of human interaction.With email and instant messaging over the Internet, we can now communicate without seeing or talking to one another.With voice mail, you can conduct entire conversations without ever reaching anyone.If my mom has a question, I just leave the answer on her machine.

　　As almost every contact we can imagine between human beings gets automated, the alienation(疏远) index goes up.

　　You can't even call a person to get the phone number of another person anymore.Directory assistance is almost always fully automated.

　　I am not against modern technology.I own a cell phone, an ATM card, a voicemail system, and an email account.Giving them up isn't wise, they're a great help to us.It's some of their possible consequences that make me feel uneasy.

　　More and more, I find myself hiding behind email to do a job meant for conversation, or being relieved that voice mail picked up because I didn' t really have time to talk.The industry devoted to helping me keep in touch is making me lonelier, or at least facilitating my antisocial instincts.

　　So I've put myself on technology restriction: no instant messaging with people who live near me, no cellphoning in the presence of friends, no letting the voice mail pick up when I'm at home.

　　1．Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?

　　A.The Advance of Communications Technology

　　B.The Consequences of Modern Technology

　　C.The Story of the Communications Revolution

　　D.The Automation of Modern Communications

　　2．The sentence “Now it makes people sitting next to you feel absent” means that _________.

　　A．the people sitting beside you have to go away to receive phone call

　　B．you can hardly get in touch with the people sitting beside you

　　C．modern technology makes it hard for people to have a facetoface talk

　　D．people can now go to work without going to the office

　　．The writer feels that the use of modern communications is

　　_________.

　　A．satisfyingB．encouraging

　　C．disappointing

　　D．embarrassing

　　．The passage implies that

　　________.

　　A．modern technology is bridging people

　　C．modern technology is developing too fast

　　D．modern technology is interrupting our communication

　　．What does the underlined word “facilitating” mean?

　　A．加深

　　D．装备

　　【要点综述】本文主要论述现代技术的消极影响——现代技术的使用在疏远人与人之间的距离。

　　1. B　主旨大意题。本文主要论述了现代技的影响。

　　. C　句意理解题。第一段作者提出：通讯革命使我们不再面对面地交谈；第二段作者举自己生活的一例来予以说明；第三段作者感慨“Now it makes people sitting next to you feel absent”，即其意应为：现在技术使人们很难有面对面的交谈。故选C项。

　　. D　推理判断题。根据第五段可知，作者并不反对现代技术，也认为它极有帮助，只是某一些结果让他感到不安，比如第二段中他所举的生活例子。由此判断他会认为使用现代技术有时令人感到尴尬，故选D项。

　　. B　推理判断题。根据第四段可推断现代技术正在疏远人们之间的关系，故选B项。

　　. A　词义猜测题。画线词所在的这一段主要在讲述现代技术对他的消极影响，因此他才决定限制自己对现代技术的使用。由此判断画线词应意为“加深”，即：加重他的不爱交际的天性。故选A项。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。The women’s college had a very small car park, and because several of the teachers and students, and many of the students’ boyfriends, had cars, it was often difficult to find a place to park. The head of the college, Miss Baker, had a special place in the car park for her own small car. There were white lines around it, and it had a small blackboard saying, “Reserved for Head of College.” One evening when Miss Baker got back to the college a few minutes before the time when all the students should be in, she found another car in her parking place. There were two persons in it, one of her girl students and a young man. Miss Baker knew that the young man would have to leave very soon, so she decided to ask him to move his car a bit, so that she could park hers in the proper place for the night before going to bed. As the young man’s car was close to the railing (栅栏), Miss Baker had to drive up beside it on the other side, where the girl was sitting. She came up on this side, opened her own window and tapped her horn (喇叭) lightly to draw attention to the fact that she was there.

Local stores often have areas where people can put small signs telling what kind of service they need or can provide. Such services include caring for children or cleaning houses.

　　Another useful way to find a job is through a college or university. For example，students at the University of Texas in Austin can go to the Career Exploration Center to get help in finding a job. Of course，looking for a job requires knowing what kind of work you want to do. For example，there is a book called "What Color is Your Parachute（降落伞）？”by Richard Bolles. This book has been helping people choose a career（职业）since it was first published in 1970．

　　Some experts also help people find jobs. Susan W.Miller owns a company called California Career Services in Los Angeles．She says her company helps people find jobs by first helping them understand their strengths, goals and interests. Then she provides them with methods and resources to help them find the right job.

　　阅读理解。阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

　　“I didn't hear them call my name，” explained Shelley Hennig to Active Teens (AT) as she talked about that exciting moment on national television when she won the honor of Miss Teen USA 2004. “Are you ready？”is what she heard.Then she said，“I shook my head no，and then they said ‘yes’and it was announced again.”

　　It was four days after that life changing moment for the seventeenyearold high school student from Destrehan, Louisianashe was still on_cloud_nine.

　　“I was so shocked! I never believed that it could actually really happen. ”Present in the audience (观众) that day were: her mother and father, older brother, her friends, and her dance teacher.

　　Understanding why members of her family and her friends would be there，AT asked why her dance teacher had traveled so far to see her compete (比赛). “She's always been my role model. I've danced with her since I was six. She's been through so many difficulties and came through them all. I've learned to get over bad life's experiences and learned how to move on because of her.”

　　One of those bad life's experiences for Shelley happened three years ago when her brother Brad was killed in a drunk driving accident. He was 18. She found writing helped her get through the rough days. She said, “I write a lot about my brother. I write a lot, a lot，a lot...”

　　As Miss Louisiana Teen, she traveled around the state speaking to teens (青少年) about the dangers of drinking and driving. In her role as Miss Teen USA, Shelley will continue to speak to youth about safe driving，in addition to many other things to help the youth.

　　When AT asked Miss Teen USA if she had any advice for our readers, she said, “Don't let anyone change you. Hang out with people that make you feel good about yourself. That way，it is easy to be yourself.”

　　人生要经历许多苦难，但不管怎样都要勇敢面对，不能让任何人改变你自己。

　　1. What do the underlined words “on cloud nine” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
