II. 阅读理解
When I asked my daughter which item she would keep: the phone, the car, the cooker, the computer, the TV, or her boyfriend, she said "the phone". Personally I could do without the phone, which makes me unusual, because the telephone is changing our lives more than any other piece of technology.
Point 1 The telephone creates the need to communicate, in the same way that more roads create more traffic. My daughter comes home from school at 4:00 and then spends an hour on the phone talking to the very people she has been at school with all day. If the phone didn't exist, would she have anything to talk about?
Point 2 The mobile phone means that we are never alone. "The mobile saved my life," says Lucy. She had an accident in her Volvo. Trapped inside, she managed to make the call that brought the ambulance(救护车).
Point 3 The mobile removes our secret. It allows Marketing Manager of a large company to ring his sales staff all around the world at any time of day to ask where they are, where they are going, and how their last meeting went.
Point 4 The telephone separates us. A person said, "We worked in separate offices but I could see him through the window. It was easy to get his number. We were so near---but we didn't meet for the first two weeks!"
Point 5 The telephone allows us to reach out beyond our own lives. Today we can talk to several complete strangers at the same time on chat lines (at least my daughter does. I wouldn't know what to talk about). We can talk across the world. We can even talk to astronauts (宇航员) (if you know any) while they're space---walking. And with the phone line hooked up to the computer, we can access the internet, the biggest library on Earth.
1. How do you understand the underlined sentence in the passage?
A. People don't communicate with telephone.
B. People communicate because of the creating of the telephone.
C. People communicate more since telephone has been created.
D. People communicate more because of more traffic.
2. Which of the following best shows people's attitude towards mobile phones?
A. They help people deal with the emergency(紧急状况).
B. They bring convenience as well as little secret to people.
C. They are so important and should be encouraged.
D. They are part of people's life.
3. Which points do you think support the idea that phones improve people's life?
a point 1 b point 2 c point 3 d point 4 e point 5
A. c, d B. a, e C. a, c D. b, e
4. It is possible to talk to several complete strangers at the same time through ____.
A. the TV screen
B. a fax machine
