8、導語】本文是一篇議論文，主要討論了如今在智能手機時代，人們應該選擇何種方式進行溝通。【難句分析】Hereshopingthatpolitenessnevergoesoutoffashionbutthattime-wastingformsofcommunicationdo.分析：本句是一個復合句。兩個 that 引導賓語從句，在從句中不作句子成分。譯文：希望禮貌永遠不會過時，但是浪費時間的溝通方式會過時。1.C 考查詞義猜測。根據第五段第二句的hecalledmysistertoexpresshisdissatisfactionthatIneverreturnedhisphonecalls”可知

9、，作者的父親對作者不給自己回電話很不滿，由此可推知 exasperated 意思是“惱怒的，生氣的，故選 C。2.A 考查推理判斷。根據第五段中的Whyareyouleavinghimvoicemail?mysisterasked.Justtexthim.可推知， 作者不喜歡用語音信箱，更偏愛發短信，故選 A。3.B 考查推理判斷。根據第七段的內容可推知，標準是變化的，處理方式應該因人而異，而不是一刀切，語音信箱的使用亦是如此，故選 B。A 項錯在傳統社會中的人們不需要向他人學習，這與最后一段第一句Theanthropologist（人類學家）MargaretMeadoncesaidthati

10、ntraditionalsocieties,theyounglearnfromtheold”相悖；C 項錯在人們有麻煩不需要借助 Google,這與第六段的內容不符；D 項錯在在短信里表明你是誰或問好是有必要的，這與第四段第一句Intexts,youdonthavetodeclarewhoyouareorevensayhello”相悖，故排除。4.C 考查標題判斷。根據對文章內容的整體理解可知，第三段引入本文話題，最后兩段點題總結，本文主要討論的是如今（在智能手機時代）我們應該用何種方式溝通，故選 C 項。A項錯在只提及了現在我們應該如何應對短信，這忽略了文章中有關語音信息的內容，有以偏概全之

11、嫌；B項錯在只提及了你是否喜歡留語音信息給他人，這也只是文章的一部分，而非全部；D 項錯在現在是否需要留感謝信息，這只是文章中提到的一小部分內容，而非文章主旨，故排除。*語法填空。Oneday,Ihadanargumentwithmymother.IwassoangrythatIranawayfromhome,_1_(think)Idnevergobackagain.Whilewalkingonthestreet,Isawalittlegirlinfrontof_2_flowershop.Shelookedverysad._3_approached,Ifoundthereweretearsin

14、ersince.1 ...10.篇章導讀：本文是一篇夾敘夾議文。作者在一次偶然的經歷中意識到媽媽有一天可能會離開他，作者從此不再跟媽媽爭吵了。thinking 考查非謂語動詞。分析句子結構可知，I 與 think 之間是邏輯上的主謂關系，表主動，故填 think 的現在分詞形式。a 考查冠詞。此處泛指“一個花店”，故用不定冠詞 a。When/As 考查連詞。這里指當作者走近的時候，故填 When/As 來引導時間狀語從句。but 考查連詞。空處前后為轉折關系，故填 but。bought 考查動詞的時態。這里表示過去發生白事情，用一般過去時，故填 bought。why

15、 考查疑問副詞。空后是在解釋原因，故此處作者問的是她“為什么”會這樣，故填 why。them 考查代詞。此處指代“Roses”,故用 them。of/about 考查介詞。根據語境可知，此時作者想起了自己的媽媽。guilty 考查詞性轉換。feel 后面接形容詞，故填 guilt 的形容詞形式。immediately 考查詞性轉換。此處需用副詞修飾動詞詞組“wentback”,故填 immediate 的副詞形式。*完形填空。Ihadabadhabitofskippingtothelastpagesofabook.Ijustwantedtoseehowitended1Iwasstillinth
