Life Connected With Computer
After too long on the Net,even a phone call can be a shock.My boyfriend's Liverpudlian accent sud- denly becomes indecipherable after the clarity of his words on screen,a secretary's tone seems more rejecting than I'd imagined it would be.Time itself becomes fluid-hours become minutes,and alternately seconds stretch into days.Weekends,once a highlight of my week,are now just two ordinary days.
For the last three years,since I stopped working as a producer for Charlie Rose,I have done much of my work as a telecommuter.I submit articles and edit them via E-mail and communicate with colleagues on Internet mailing lists.My boyfriend lives in England,so much of our relationship is computer-mediated.
If I desired,I could stay inside for weeks without wanting anything.I can order food,and manage my money,love and work.In fact,at times I have spent as long as three weeks alone at home,going out only to get mail and buy newspapers and groceries.I watched most of the blizzard of 96 on TV.
But after a while,life itself begins to feel unreal I start to feel as though I've merged with my machines, taking data in,spitting them back out,just another node on the Net.Others online report the same symptoms. We start to strongly dislike the outside forms of socializing.It's like attending an A.A.meeting in a bar with everyone holding a half-sipped drink.We have become the Net opponents'worst nightmare.
What first seemed like a luxury,crawling from bed to computer,not worrying about hair,clothes and face,has become an avoidance,a lack of discipline.And once you start replacing real human contact with cyber-interaction,coming back out of the cave can be quite difficult.
At times,I turn on the television and just leave it to chatter in the background,something that I'd never done previously.The voices of the programs soothe me,but then I'm jarred by the commercials.1 find myself sucked in by soap operas,or compulsively needing to keep up with the latest news and the weather."Dateline," "Frontline","Nightline",CNN,New York 1,every possible angle of every story over and over,even when they are of no possible use to me.Work moves from foreground to background.

Compared to the clear words of her boyfriend on screen,his accent becomes______.
A:unidentifiable
B:unbearable
C:unreal
D:misleading

参考答案

参考解析
解析:由文章第一段第二句话“My boyfriend ' s Liveipudlian accent suddenly becomes indecipherable after the clarity of his words on screen,a secretary's tone seems more rejecting than I'd imagined it would be.”可知,我男朋友在电脑屏幕上的字很清晰,但他的利物浦口音突然变得难以辨认了。indecipherable意为“难以辨认的”,与unidentifiable(无法辨认的)意思相近。故选A。
由文章第二段最后一句话“My boyfriend lives in England , so much of our relationship is computer-mediated.”可知,作者男朋友在英国;由第六段最后一句话“… CNN , New York 1 , every possible angle of every story over and over,even when they are of no possible use to me.”可知,作者看的都是在美国播放的节目,说明作者在美国,故二人不在同一国家。故选B。
由文章最后一段第二句话“The voices of the programs soothe me …”可知,作者有时会打开电视,因为电视节目的声音使她感到安慰。故选C。
由文章第五段第一句话" What first seemed like a luxury , crawling from bed to computer…has become an avoidance , a lack of discipline.”可知,作者由起初觉得使用电脑很便利,到现在觉得是一种缺乏自律的表现。由此可推断出,作者对电脑有点厌烦情绪。故选C。
由文章第五段最后一句话“And once you start replacing real human contact with cyber-interaction,coming back out of the cave can be quite difficult”可知,一旦我们用网上交际取代人与人之间的真正接触,再想恢复人与人之间的直接接触会是十分困难的。come back out of the cave意为“恢复人与人之间的直接接触”。故选D。

考题 共用题干 第二篇Although it can be argued that voice,and E-mail are more efficient,and in many ways,more convenient,I still prefer to communicate in person,or if that is not possible,by telephone.In my expenence,face-to-face interactions are best for a number of reasons.In the first place,when you hear the speaker's tone of voice,you are better able to judge the attitude and emotions that can be easily hidden in a written reply.In addition,the exchange is more immediate.Even instant messaging isn't as fast as a verbal interaction in person or by phone.E-mail seems efficient;however, sometimes multiple messages over several days are required to clarify the information that a short phone call would have taken care of in one communication.We have all tried to return a voice mail only to hear a recording on the original caller's voice mail. Clearly,no real communication is possible in a situation that only allows one person to talk.Moreover,the body language and the expression on the speaker's face often communicate more than the words themselves.Research indicates that more than 80 percent of a message is nonverbal.The way that a speaker stands or sits can indicate interest or disagreement.The eye contact and the movement of the eyebrows and the mouth can actually communicate the opposite of the words that the speaker is saying. Finally,no technology has succeeded in duplicating a firm handshake to close a deal,a hug to encourage a friend,or a kiss goodbye.Until E-mail and voice mail can provide the subtle communication,the immediate interaction,and the emotional satisfaction of a face-to-face conversation,complete with facial expressions and gestures,I will prefer to talk instead of to type.The writer prefers face-to-face communication because of the following reasons except________.A:face-to-face communication is more immediate and you can judge the speaker's attitude and emotionsB:you can talk to many people at the same time in a face-to-face communicationC:nonverbal language conveys more meaning than verbal language in a communicationD:you can get emotional satisfaction by having physical contact with the person you are talking to in a face-to-face communication

考题 共用题干 第二篇Cell Phones: Hang Up or Keep Talking?Millions of people are using cell phones today.In many places it is actually considered unusual not to use one.In many countries,cell phones are very popular with young people.They find that the phones are more than a means of communication一having a mobile phone shows that they are cool and connected.The explosions around the world in mobile phone use make some health professionals worried.Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the use of mobile phones.In England,there has been a serious debate about this issue.Mobile phone companies are worried about the negative publicity of such ideas.They say that there is no proof that mobile phones are bad for your health.On the other hand,why do some medical studies show changes in the brain cells of some people who use mobile phones?Signs of change in the tissues of the brain and head can be detected with modern scanning equipment.

考题 单选题Passage1Children who spend more than two hours a day at a computer or watching television are more likely than others to have mental problems,scientists say.Researchers found that 11-year-olds who spent several hours in front of a screen each day did worse on mental health tests,no matter how much physical exercise they got. The University of Bristol study,published in Pediatrics,involved more than 1,000 children aged about 10.They also had the kids fill out questionnaires designed to gauge the kids' emotional well-being and behavior.The questionnaires contained 20 questions covering five sections-emotional difficulties,conduct problems,hyperactivity or inattention,friendships and peer groups and problems relating to friends and peer groups.The study found no direct evidence that sitting in front of a screen actually causes mental health problems. Instead,it suggests that children with difficulties,such as extreme shyness,are more likely to choose TV or computer games than sociable activities. In the study,children were asked whether they agreed,disagreed or somewhat agree with a list of statements,including,I generally play alone or keep to myself and,I am often unhappy or tearful.They were also asked how much exercise they took and how long they spent at a TV or computer screen.According to the study,children who spent more than two hours a day at a screen had a 60% higher risk of mental problems than children who spent fewer viewing hours. The risk was only slightly higher in children who did little or no exercise.Physical activity is good for health in many ways,but it can't make up for long hours of screen viewing. Parents should consider limiting their children's screen viewing to no more than 2 hours a day,”said the study organizer,Angie Page.Previous studies have raised concerns that watching too much television can affect children's behavior in later life. A Canadian study found that those who watched most TV as young children performed worse at school, ate more junk food and had more trouble concentrating.How did the researchers carry out the study?A By reviewing children's records online.B By interviewing children's parents.C By watching children in their home.D By asking children questions.
