amazingly.Motor-carscover a hundred miles in little more than an hour,aircrafts cross theworld inside a day,while computers operate at lightning speed.I ndeed,this love of speed seems never-ending.Every year motor-ears are producedwhich go even faster and each new computer boasts(吹嘘)of saving preciousseconds in handling tasks.Al 1 this saves time,but at a price.When we lose or gain half a day inspeeding across the world in an airplane,our bodies tell us so.We getthe uncomfortable feeling known as jet-lag;our bodies feel that they havebeen left behind on another time zone.Again,spending too long at computersresults in painful wrists and fingers.Mobile phones also have theirdangers,according to some scientist;too much use may transmit harmfulradiation into our brains,a consequence we do not like to think about.H owever,what do we do with the time we have saved?Certainly not relax,or so it seems.We are so accustomed to constant activity that we findit difficult to sit and do nothing or even just one thing at a time.Perhapsthe days are long gone when we might listen quietly to a story on the radio,letting imagination take us into another world.There was a time when some people,s lives were devoted simply to thecultivation of the land or the care of cattle.N o multi-tasking there;their lives went on at a much gentler pace,and in a familiar pattern.There is much that we might envy about a way of life 1 ike this.Yet beforewe do so,we must think of the hard tasks our ancestor faced:they farmedwith bare hands,often lived close to hunger,and had to fashion tools fromwood and stone.Modern machinery has freed people from that primitiveexistence.查看材料11.【阅读选择】The new products become more and more time-savingb e c a u s e.A.our love of speed

ew inventions such as computers or mobile phones have potentialdangers.D.N ew inventions are very popular.正确答案：C参考解析：根据题目定位至第二段。A选项提到手腕和手指疼痛是由电脑本身造成的。这与原文内容不符,原文说玩太长时间电脑会导致关节疼痛。B选项提到手机不会对我们的身体造成任何害处,这与最后一句信息不符。D选项并未在文中提及。据此分析，该题正确答案为C。查看材料13.【阅读选择】What does the days in Paragraph 3 refer to?A.I maginary life.B.Simple life in the past.C.Times of inventions.D.Time for constant activity.正确答案：B参考解析：根据题目所考the days可定位至第三段最后一句。该句说：“也许,我们静静聆听广播里的故事，任想象带领我们到另一个世界的日子，已经一去不返了”。很明显，“那些日子”指的是过去的简单生活。故B选项为正确答案。查看材料1 4.【阅读选择】What is the authors attitude towards the moderntechnology?A.Critical.B.Objective.C.OptimisticD.N egative.正确答案：B参考解析：通读全文可知，作者在第一段陈述事实，说现代发明省时省力。第二段说高速生活的弊端。第三段说对简单生活的向往。但在最后一段却说现代发明对现代生活的积极影响。由此可见，作者的态度是一分为二的，即是客观的。故B选项objective为正确答案。查看材料15.【阅读选择】What does the passage mainly discuss?A.The present and past times.B.Machinery and human beings.C.I maginations and inventions.D.Modern technology and its

ofbonding based on common likes and dislikes,interests,pursuits and passion.A mature friendship is one that you know your friend inside out and accepthim or her withall the contradictions and deviations that you earlier failto notice.A mature friendship is agenuine friendship and there is a sharedsense of caring,concern,desire to grow and let grow anda hope thateverything good happens in life to you as well as your buddy.True,matureandgenuine friendship does not happen just like that.I t needs working andit needs mutual faith andtrust based on selfless action,shared thoughtsand feelings,and acceptance of the friend without judgment and criticism.Atrue,mature and genuine friendship needs a relationship which isbuiI tover time,by knowing each other more closely over shared time spent,shared memories,participation in each others growth and prosperity aswell as being available to each other in hardtimes.With trust you start sharing your innermost secrets and feelings withyour friend who istrue.Trust and its continuous reinforcement from boththe side leads to faithfulness and loyalty.On the other hand betrayal oftrust can lead to the culmination of the friendship in a very negativewaywith lot of hard feelings and loneliness.Many of the important reasonsof loss of trust arebackbiting,negative thoughts and cheating on oneanother.To nurture this delicate balance the need is to have a set ofaccountability factors thatbecomes essential for the survival of thefriendship.True friends accept the fact that this world isnot perfect andthey overcome small and little misunderstandings,deviations andcontradictionsthat crop up among them.They have a policy of living thelife positively and so forgiving oneanother is accepted as part of thenatural code of friendship.We need to understand that genuine,mature and true friendship issupportive in natureand comes into real 1 ight in hard pressed times.Theseare the times when the true value,dependence and strength of a genuinefriend are tested.A true friendship which passes the f ire oftroubled timedevelops into a bonding where unconditional love flows from one toanother.Suchtrue friends are hard to come by but once you have them mostof the time they become your lifetime buddies.查看材料1 6.【概括段落大意和补全句子】ParagraphG enuine friendship survives hard times.We shall keep a balance.True friendship involves
