who leaves a voice mail message rather than texts you? who asks for a fact easily found on google? dont these people realize that theyre wasting your time?maybe im the rude one for not appreciating lifes little politeness. but many social agreed standards just dont make sense to people drowning in digital communication.in texts, you dont have to declare who you are or even say hello; e-mail, too, is slower than a text; voice mail is a now impolite way of trying to connect.my father learned this lesson after leaving me a dozen voice mail messages, none of which i listened to. exasperated, he called my sister to express his dissatisfaction that i never returned his phone calls. “why are you leaving him voice mails?” my sister asked. “just text him.”in the age of the smartphone, there is no reason to ask once-acceptable questions about: the weather forecast, a businesss phone number, or directions to a house, a restaurant, which can be easily found on google maps. but people still ask these things. and when you answer, they respond with a thank-you e-mail.how to handle these differing standards? easy: consider your audience. some people, especially older ones, appreciate a thank-you message. others, like me, want no reply.the anthropologist(人类学家) margaret mead once said that in traditional societies, the young learn from the old. but in modern societies, the old can also learn from the young. heres hoping that politeness never goes out of fashion but that time-wasting forms of communication do.28. what does the underlined word “exasperated” mean in the fifth paragraph?a. worried.b. annoyed.c. surprised.d. tired.29. why didnt the writer reply to his father?a. he didnt want to talk with his father. b. he liked text messages better.c. he didnt receive any voice mail messages.d. he enjoyed checking his voice mails.30. which of the following does the writer agree to?a. dealing with voice mail should vary with each individual.b. declaring who they are or saying hello in texts is necessaryc. people neednt learn from one another in traditional societies.d. people neednt turn to google for help when in trouble.31. whats the best title of this passage?a. nowadays: what means should we use in communicationb. nowadays: do you like leaving others a voice messagec. nowadays: what should we do with text messagesd. nowadays: do you need a thank-you messagedthink about the longest elevator ride that youve ever taken. whether you rose five floors or 100, it probably took less than a few minutes. now imagine riding in an elevator higher and higher as it climbs for nearly a day. when you reach the top floor, prepare for views that are really out of this world. youll be in space!space elevators might sound like a crazy idea, but theyre something scientists have been working on for decades.why would anyone want a space elevator? at the moment, riding in a capsule is the only way ordinary people can get to and from space. but those rides are very expensiveabout $25 million per person per flight.researchers are still figuring out the details about how a space elevator might work. one idea is stretching (伸展) a very long cablemore than 37,000 kilometersup to space from the earths equator. the location is important: objects in space above the equator orbit the earth at the same speed that our planet turns. a weight on the end of the cable(电缆) would stretch it tight. an elevator tied to the cable could use it to climb up and down.the only problem is that besides being long, this cable must also be very strong. storms, including hurricanes might break it. one way to solve this problem is to stretch the cable from the moon instead of from the earth. airplanes designed to climb higher than a typical jet might take off from the earth and link up with the cable, which would be held in place by the pull of gravity from the earth. an elevator car waiting there would then take riders the rest of the way to the moon. fueled by solar power, the elevator could transport people and materials without much expense or effort per ride.so, when will you be taking your first space-elevator ride? probably not for a while.32. the first paragraph is presented by _.a. giving aconclusionb. making a comparisonc. asking questionsd. analyzing causes33. why have scientists been working on space elevators?a. to make trips to space cheaper.b. to help astronauts do research in space.c. to find a more convenient way to the moon.d. to prove an assumption which seems crazy.34. the underlined word“it”in paragraph 4 refers to _.a. the cable b. the equatorc. an object in spaced. a weight on the end of the cable35. what may make the cable stay in place on the moon?a. the elevator car on the moon.b. the elevator fastened to the cable.c. the pull of gravity from the earth.d. the speed of the moon orbiting the earth.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。（请将答案涂在答题卡上e=ab f=ac g=ad）parents are always told to control the amount of time their children spend using phones. _36_ researchers studied 55 parents,while they were eating in a fast food restaurant with their children. they found that one in three parents used their phones during the meals. parents, who were busy with their phones,seemed to have more negative communication with their children._37_they studied five different acts from parents who didnt use their phones at all during the meals, parents who put their phones on the table but didnt use them, parents who used their phones now and then, parents who used their phones at the end of the meals, and those who used their phones during the whole time of the meals. _38_ more than 15 percent used their phones towards the end of the meals while the children were still eating,and continued using them until they left the restaurant.its reported that young children use eye contact with their parents to form a good relationship and learn about the world. _39_when parents spent a long time looking at their phones, their children would be upset. reducing this face-to-face contact could cause problems with further development and reduce the level of relationship between a parent and a child.this is the first study to examine how children behave when their parents are using their phones. _40_more work needs to be done to find out how to improve the relationship between parents and children.a. the researchers think it is just the beginning.b. but their own habit of using phones could be bad, too.c. it is necessary for parents to spend time accompanying them.d. almost 73 percent of the adults used their phones at least once during the meals.e. dr. radesky and her team observed parents behavior to see them in a“real-life setting”.f. little eye contact and communication can reduce the close relationship with the children.g. so the more eye contact their parents use,the more chances the children have to succeed.第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。she wasnt really my aunt and i only _41to her as my aunt fannie because it always made my father chuckle（窃笑） and my mother lookangrilyat both of usat me for being _42_of my elder and at my father for _43_my bad behavior. i_44both reactions so i seized every opportunity to work the name into as many conversations as possible.my mother had worked in the kitchenof a large victorian farmhouse owned by fannie cratty and her brother, farnsworth. neither had_45_and they had no children. my father told me that it was because they were both too_46_ to share their family wealth. during those years my mother helped aunt fanny make the best blueberry jam ever_47by anyone in glenfield. she was famous for her jam and for never_48_the recipe (烹饪法) with anyone else._49my mother knew the recipe by heart, she_50_made the jam without ms. crattys instruction and keep the secret.each august, my mother would _51_ me for fannies visit. i had to be on my best behavior. whenever she was at the house, i needed to _52_ my thoughts and watch my tongue.one year, after i had been particularly _53_ with the jam process, aunt fannie gave me a quarter and then made me promise that i would never spend it. _54_this quarter, she said, and some day you will be _55_. i still have my very first quarter given by my grandfather. it had obviously_56for her. so i followed her advice.i now have the blueberry jam recipe and the quarter from aunt fannie. in peoples eye aunt fannies_57_was due to that secret recipe. but to me, it was just acommon recipe. however, i keep them as_5
