He was writing a poem when he was interrupted by a knock at the door.This was an age before the telephone. Someone was delivering a message. When Coleridge got back to his poem, he had lost his inspiration. His poetic mood had been broken by the knock on his door. His unfinished poem, which could otherwise have been a masterpiece, would now never be more than a fragment (片段).This story tells how unexpected communication can destroy an important thought. That brings us to the invention of the cellphone.The most common complaint about cellphones is that people talk on them to the annoyance of people around them. But more damaging may be the cellphones disruption (中断) of our thoughts.We have already entered a golden age of little white lies about our cellphones, and this is by and large a healthy, protective development. “I didnt hear it ring” or “I didnt realize my phone had shut off” are among the lies we tell to give ourselves space where were beyond reach.The notion of being unreachable is not a new concept we have “Do Not Disturb” signs on the doors of hotel rooms. So why must we feel guilty when it comes to cellphones? Why must we apologize if we decide to shut off the cellphone for a while?The problem is that we come from a long-established tradition of difficulty with distance communication. Until the recent mass use of cellphones, it was easy to communicate with someone next to us or a few feet away, but difficult with someone across town, the country or the globe. We came to take it for granted.But cellphones make long-distance communication common, and endanger our time by ourselves. Now time alone, or a conversation with someone next to us which cannot be interrupted by a phone, is something to be cherished (珍惜). Even cellphone devotees, myself usually included, cant help at times wanting to throw their phones away, or curse the day they were invented.But we dont and wont, and there really is no need. All thats required to take back our private time is a general social recognition that we have the right to it.In other words, we have to develop a healthy contempt (轻视) for the rings of our own phones. Given the ease of making and receiving cellphone calls, if we dont talk to the caller right now, we surely will shortly later.A cellphone call deserves no greater priority than a random word from the person next to us. Though the call on my cellphone may be the one-in-a-million from Steven Spielberg who has finally read my novel and wants to make it his next movie. But most likely it is not, and Im better off thinking about the idea I just had for a new story, or the slice of pizza Ill eat for lunch.67. What is the point of the story about the poet Coleridge? A. To direct readers attention to the main topic. B. To attract readers attention to read his poems.C. To show how important inspiration is to a poet. D. To emphasize the disadvantage of not having a cellphone.68. Why does the writer mention the “Do Not Disturb” sign? A. To encourage us to use the cellphone as much as we can.B. To persuade us not to worry about the ring of the cellphone. C. To inform us that the cellphone is not to be disturbed in our life. D. To ask us to make an apology when we dont answer the cellphone call.69. What does the underlined word “it” (Paragraph 7) most probably refer to?A. answering a call from afarB. talking to friend next to usC. using the cellphone to chat with friendsD. communicating to keep the long-established friendship70. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Cellphones require more attention than any other invention. B. We sometimes throw the phone away when it is too disturbing.C. The writer would rather continue his own work than be interrupted by the ring. D. We should give priority to the cellphone as it has brought us so much convenience.E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，选项中有两项为多余选项。The following article is to tell you how to behave better in an IELTS oral English test Everyone will make necessary preparations for some possible topics in order to increase your performance in the interview. _71_ What would you do if you were asked in an interview to talk about how you feel about your hometown if in fact you really dislike living there?Some people might think that being truthful in this situation and giving a negative answer, they would not do the right thing. _72_ Talk about how they love living there and give a positive answer which sounds more attractive_73_ And giving a negative opinion of something is not important, either. _74 If you have more to say by being truthfu
