九、阅读理解
A
When you try to contact an old friend you haven't seen for many years, do you choose to make a call or send a message Many people may choose to send messages so that they won't feel embarrassed. However, new research has found that making a phone call is the best way to get in touch.
In the study, researchers did all kinds of experiments. In one, they asked 200 people to make predictions about what it would be like to contact an old friend by e mail or by phone. Then the people did one or the other. Although people supposed that a phone call would be more embarrassing, hearing someone's voice actually made the experience better.
In another experiment, the researchers had strangers connect by sending messages, talking over video chat, or talking using only audio(音频). They found that both forms of voice communication—whether video or audio only—made the strangers feel more connected than communicating by sending messages.
Many people choose to send messages or e mails instead of calling because they think it's convenient. What's more, they think it's a form that can be controlled. In fact, sending messages or e mails can make it hard to find out the true meaning behind a conversation. A phone call is actually more convenient than sending messages. When calling, both can know about the meaning behind the conversation. There is no need for them to think about the possible meanings behind words.
So if you want to feel more connected to the people you're talking to, you should call them instead of sending messages.
1.Why do many people choose to contact old friends by sending messages
A．To avoid feeling embarrassed. B．To communicate better.
C．To save more time. D．To be more convenient.
2.What did the 200 people do in the experiment
A．They talked to old friends face to face.
B．They chatted with old friends on the Internet.
C．They called or sent messages to old friends.
D．They talked with old friends by only using audio.
3.What can we know from the fourth paragraph
A．Sending messages is actually more convenient than making calls.
B．It's hard to know the true meaning behind the conversation by sending messages.
C．Calling is a form that can be controlled.
D．There is no need to send messages.
4.What's the best title of the passage
A．The Reasons You Should Call Instead of Sending Messages
B．The Ways to Send Messages Correctly
C．How You Can Talk with Old Friends on the Phone
D. The Proper Ways to Talk with Old Friends
【答案】ACBA
【解析】 在联系多年未见的老朋友时,你是选择打电话,还是发信息 很多人为了避免尴尬,会选择发信息。然而,研究发现,打电话才是联络感情的最佳方式。
1.A 细节理解题。由第一段中的“Many people may choose to send messages so that they won’t feel embarrassed.”可知,许多人与多年未见的老朋友联系时发信息是为了避免尴尬。
2.C 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In one, they asked 200 people to make predictions about what it would be like to contact an old friend by e-mail or by phone. Then the people did one or the other.”可知,这200人在实验中给老朋友打电话或发信息。
3.B 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“In fact, sending messages or e-mails can make it hard to find out the true meaning behind a conversation.”可知,发信息很难了解会话背后真正的含义。
4.A 主旨大意题。通读全文可知,这篇文章主要解释了与老朋友联系时为什么打电话要比发信息好。
B
There are several ways you can find out about the countries and places you wish to visit. You can talk to friends who have traveled to the places, you can go and see a colour film about them, or you can read a travel book.
It seems that there are three kinds of travel books. The first are those that give a personal, subjective(主观的) idea of travels which their writer has got himself. These books can be useful if the writers share their traveling experiences with others. The second kind are those books which give objective(客观的) information of things to be done and seen. If a cultured person has written such a book about the facts of a place, then it is more useful. The third kind are those books which are called “a guide” to some place or other. If they are good, they will describe and explain the place in detail. Like the first kind , they can be interesting and exciting, but their main purpose is to help the reader plan his travel in the most practical way.
Whatever kind of travel book you choose, you must make sure that the book does not describe everything as interesting, exciting or fantastic. You must also keep an open eyes on its date of publication(出版) because travel is very practical matter and many things change quickly in the 21st century. Finally, you should make sure that it’s easy to find the useful information for you travel.
1. The passage was written to introduce_______.
A. travel maps B. travel books C. travel films D. travel places
2. The writer of the first kind of travel books gave his ideas after he _______.
A. traveled B. read books C. a lot of experience D. surfed the Internet
3. The underlined phrase “a cultured person” means a person with ________.
A. a good appearance B. a good education
C. a lot of experience D. a lot of money
4. The date of publication must be noticed because ________.
A. the prices of travel books may be different
B. the writers of travel books may be different
C. the information in travel books is always the same
D. the information in travel books is always changing
5. According to the passage, it is best to read ______ before traveling to a place of interest.
A. the first kind of travel books B. the second kind of travel books
C. the third kind of travel books D. some travel articles in newspaper
【答案】1. B 2. A 3. B 4 D 5. C
【解析】试题分析：本文介绍了三种旅行的书，第一种是作者在某地旅行回来后写出的自己的旅行经历和感受。第二种客观给出了一些关于旅行的信息。第三种是一种旅游的书，里面详细地介绍了旅游胜地的情况。
1.写作意图题。根据It seems that there are three kinds of travel books.短文介绍了三种旅行的书，故选B。
2.细节理解题。根据The first are those that give a personal, subjective(主观的) idea of travels which their writer has got himself. 第一种旅行的书是作者在某地旅行回来后写出的关于自己的经历，故选A。
3.词义猜测题。根据has written such a book about the facts of a place, then it is more useful 可推测能够写出书的，应该是受过良好教育的人，故选B。
4.细节理解题。根据You must also keep an open eyes on its date of publication(出版) because travel is very practical matter and many things change quickly in the 21st century. 一定要注意书的出版日期因为信息是不断更新的，故选D。
5，细节理解题。根据The third kind are those books which are called “a guide” to some place or other. If they are good, they will describe and explain the place in detail. 在去旅行之前第三类书是最好的选择，因为它是一本旅游指导的书，它比较详细地描述和解释了那个地方的情况，故选C。

When you try to contact an old friend you haven't seen for many years, do you choose to make a call or send a message Many people may choose to send messages so that they won't feel embarrassed. However, new research has found that making a phone call is the best way to get in touch.
In the study, researchers did all kinds of experiments. In one, they asked 200 people to make predictions about what it would be like to contact an old friend by e mail or by phone. Then the people did one or the other. Although people supposed that a phone call would be more embarrassing, hearing someone's voice actually made the experience better.
In another experiment, the researchers had strangers connect by sending messages, talking over video chat, or talking using only audio(音频). They found that both forms of voice communication—whether video or audio only—made the strangers feel more connected than communicating by sending messages.
Many people choose to send messages or e mails instead of calling because they think it's convenient. What's more, they think it's a form that can be controlled. In fact, sending messages or e mails can make it hard to find out the true meaning behind a conversation. A phone call is actually more convenient than sending messages. When calling, both can know about the meaning behind the conversation. There is no need for them to think about the possible meanings behind words.
So if you want to feel more connected to the people you're talking to, you should call them instead of sending messages.

There are several ways you can find out about the countries and places you wish to visit. You can talk to friends who have traveled to the places, you can go and see a colour film about them, or you can read a travel book.
It seems that there are three kinds of travel books. The first are those that give a personal, subjective(主观的) idea of travels which their writer has got himself. These books can be useful if the writers share their traveling experiences with others. The second kind are those books which give objective(客观的) information of things to be done and seen. If a cultured person has written such a book about the facts of a place, then it is more useful. The third kind are those books which are called “a guide” to some place or other. If they are good, they will describe and explain the place in detail. Like the first kind , they can be interesting and exciting, but their main purpose is to help the reader plan his travel in the most practical way.
Whatever kind of travel book you choose, you must make sure that the book does not describe everything as interesting, exciting or fantastic. You must also keep an open eyes on its date of publication(出版) because travel is very practical matter and many things change quickly in the 21st century. Finally, you should make sure that it’s easy to find the useful information for you travel.
