phone meetings get cancelled or reformed and camera- phones intrude（侵入）on peoples privacy. so, it is understandable if your mobile makes you nervous. but perhaps you neednt worry so much. after all, it is good to talk.41. the “meeting” influence of a mobile phone refers to the fact that _.a. people can arrange their meeting place and time more flexiblyb. people have to make a firm plan about when and where to meetc. people are able to meet someone at any place and any timed. people have to attend phone meetings than ever before42. according to the two british researchers, the social and psychological effects are most likely to be seen on _. a. talkersb. the “speakeasy”c. the “spacemaker” d. texters43.wecaninferfromthepassagethatthetextssentbytextersare_. a. showing or making known b.wellwrittenc.unacceptablebyothersd.shockingtoothers44. according to the passage, who is afraid of being heard while talking on the mobile?a. talkersb. the “speakeasy”c. the “spacemaker” d. texters45. which of the following can be the best title of the passage?a. the influence of short message serviceb. changes caused by mobile phone usec. changes in the use of the mobiled. body language and the mobile phone41. a 从第三段people no longer need to make firm plans about when and where to meet.可知。42. d 从第四五段可知43. a 从第五段可知。44. c 从第六段最后一句可知45. b 从第一段可知黑龙江省大庆市喇中2016高考英语阅读练习科普环保类technological change is everywhere and affects every aspect of life, mostly for the better. however, social changes are brought about by new technology are often mistaken for a change in attitudes. an example at hand is the involvement of parents in the lives of their children who are attending college. surveys (调查) on this topic suggests that parents today continue to be “very” or “somewhat” overly-protective even after their children move into college dormitories. the same surveys also indicate that the rate of parental involvement is greater today than it was a generation ago. this is usually interpreted as a sign that todays parents are trying to manage their childrens lives past the point where this behavior is appropriate.however, greater parental involvement does not necessarily indicate that parents are failing to let go of their “adult” children. in the context (背景) of this discussion, it seems valuable to first find out the cause of change in the case of parents involvement with their grown children. if parents of earlier generations had wanted to be in touch with their college-age children frequently, would this have been possible? probably not. on the other hand, does the possibility of frequent communication today mean that the urg
