friend recently, and his cell phone rang, interrupting our conversation.there we were, walking and talking on a beautiful sunny day andi 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 cant 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 isnt wise, theyre a great help to us.its 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 ive 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 im at home.1which of the following would be the best title of the passage? a.the advance of communications technologyb.the consequences of modern technology c.the story of the communications revolutiond.the automation of modern communications 2the sentence “now it makes people sitting next to you feel absent” means that _. athe people sitting beside you have to go away to receive phone call byou can hardly get in touch with the people sitting beside you cmodern technology makes it hard for people to have a facetoface talk dpeople can now go to work without going to the office3the writer feels that the use of modern communications is _. asatisfyingbencouraging cdisappointing dembarrassing4the passage implies that _. amodern technology is bridging people bmodern technology is separating people cmodern technology is developing too fast dmodern technology is interrupting our communication5what does the underlined word “facilitating” mean?a加深 b限制 c帮助 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。2. 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。3. 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。4. 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。5. 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。 【2016高考训练】the womens college had a very small car park, and because several of
