3.If your in-box is currently reporting unread messages in the hundreds or thousands,you might have a hard time believing the news:e-mail is on the decline.
At first blush,that might seem to be the case.The incoming generation,after all,doesn't do e-mail.Oh,they might have an account.They use it only as we would a fax machine:as a means to communicate with old-school folks like their parents or to fulfill the sign-up requirements of Web sites.They rarely check it,though.
Today's instant electronic memos-such as texting and Facebook and Twitter
messages-are more direct,more concentrated,more efficient.They go without the salutation(称呼语) and the signoff; we already know the"to"and';from."Many corporations are moving to messaging networks for exactly that reason:more signal,less noise and less time.This trend is further evidence that store-and-forward systems such as e-mail and voicemail are outdated.Instead of my leaving you a lengthy message that you pick up later,I can now send you an unobtrusive,easily-consumed message that you can read-and respond to-on the go.
The decline of e-mail corresponds neatly to the dawn of the mobile era.Instantaneous(及时)written messages are different.These are neatly tailored to fit in just about any time:before a movie,in a taxi,waiting for lunch.And because these notes are invariably brief,they're a natural for smart phone typing.With these formats,you also have control over who can correspond with you,which you usually don't in e-mail.And especially on Facebook,instant messaging can take
on the character of a chat room,where several people can talk at once.
Does this mean e-mail is on its way to the dustbin of digital history?Not necessarily.E-mail still has certain advantages.On the other hand,tweets and texts feel ephemeral-you read them,then they're gone,into an endless string,e-mail still feels like something you have and that you can file,search and return to later.It's easy to imagine that it will continue to feel more appropriate for formal communications:agreements,important news,longer explanations.
So,e-mail won't go away completely.Remember,we've been through a transition like this not so long ago:when e-mail was on the rise,people said that postal mail was dead.That's not how it works.Postal mail found its smaller niche,and so will e-mail.Technology rarely replaces an institution completely; it just adds new avenues.

56.What would the incoming generation like to do with their e-mail accounts?C
A.Contact close friends
B.Send long messages
C.Fill in some forms
D.Communicate with their colleagues
57.Which of the following is mainly discussed in the paragraph 3and 4?A
A.The possible reasons behind the decline of e-mail
B.The likes and dislikes of the young generation
C.The rapid development of e-communication channels
D.Evidence about the uncertain future of easily-consumed messages
58.What does the underlined word"ephemeral"in paragraph 5mean?D
A.Automatically-sending
B.Randomly-written
C.Hardly-recognized
D.Shortly-appearing
59.According to the passage,which of the following statements is true?B
A.It's too early to determine the decline of e-mail
B.E-mail has reasons to exist on its own advantage
C.E-mail,just like postal mail has come to its end
D.We should feel sorry for the decline of e-mail.

57.A.段落大意题.根据第三段内容,主要介绍了今天的即时电子备忘录,如发短信,Facebook和Twitter发消息更直接,更集中,更有效率.第四段主要讲述了电子邮件的衰落对应于移动时代的黎明.故三四段主要讲述了电子邮件衰落的原因.故选A.
58.D.词义猜测题.根据上下文内容可知,On the other hand,tweets and texts feel ephemeral-you read them,then they're gone,into an endless string,e-mail still feels like something you have and that you can file,search and return to later.句意为另一方面,微博和短信感到短暂-你读了他们,然后他们走了,成为一个无尽的字符串,电子邮件仍然感觉像你有的东西,你可以提交,搜索和返回到以后.故ephmeral意为短暂的.故选D.
59.B.推理判断题.根据文章内容,尤其是Not necessarily.E-mail still has certain advantages.以及So,e-mail won't go away completely.可知,电子邮件因为它的优势有理由存在.

18.假定你是李华,你校的交流生Lucy下周打算去老师家做客,但是她不知道中国人做客有哪此传统,她给你发了一封电子邮件,请你给她一些建议.请你根据下列要点,给她回复一封电子邮件.
要点如下:
1.适当地送一些礼物.
2.介绍中国的餐桌礼仪.
注意:
1.词数100左右.(开头和结尾已给出,不计入总词数)
2.可以适当增加细节,以使行文连贯.
Dear Lucy,
I have received your email.You asked me for some suggestions on how to be a guest in China.Here are some suggestions received by most Chinese.Firstly,when you visit a Chinese family,you'd better bring some gifts.In China,it is usually considered impolite to visit someone with nothing in hand.(高分句型一)So,you can buy some fresh fruits or a box of milk.What's more,table manners are also of great importance.We Chinese like to treat our guests with many delicious dishes.When at table,you should not begin eating first,but followthe host or the senior one.(高分句型二)Sometimes,the host will help you with some dishes,which is different from western traditions,and you should show your appreciation.(高分句型三)
All in all,just as the old saying goes,"when in Rome,do as Romans do."(高分句型四)
I do hope you will enjoy yourself in your teacher's home.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua.

8.By May,after three months,I had lost 22pounds and reached my goal of 115pounds.My friends would say"Alice,you look great!"or"How did you lose so much weight?"Those compliments made me feel good and confident.
Soon I dropped to 110pounds.A few of my friends told me that I needed to stop dieting,because I was starting to look sick.They brought me a present-a bag of chocolates,which I later gave to my sister.My mom would come to my room,with tears in her eyes,and have long chats about how harmful this diet was and begged me to stop.My dad would leave worried messages on my cell phone at school,telling me that  it would do serious harm to my body.
By mid-June,when school was coming to an end,I was down to an only alive state of 95 pounds.All of a sudden,I knew I had to do something.I guessed the number itself scared me.I recalled my doctor.He told me about a girl who was 95 pounds and was at the risk of dying.I knew I was putting my life at risk,but for what?To make those who love me worried?Was it worthwhile to be thin?
Now I realize that models in magazines,TV and movies are not realistic.The price to pay for the"perfect body"is living with a dangerous and sometimes deadly eating disorder.And there are more important things to think about than how thin you are.

11.The underlined word"compliments"in Paragraph 1 probably meansB.
A.questions      B.praise      C.understanding      D.experiences
12.Why did the author's mother come to her room in tears?A
A.Because the mother was worried about her daughter's health.
B.Because the mother thought her daughter was brave enough.
C.Because the mother was sorry to have helped her daughter go on a diet.
D.Because the mother was deeply moved by her daughter's friends.
13.The author decided to stop dietingB.
A.after her parents persuaded her out of it
B.when her weight dropped to 95 pounds
C.after she reached her goal of losing weight
D.after her friends told her to stop dieting
14.From the text we learn thatD.
A.there are no models with a perfect body in real life
B.it is too expensive for people to lose weight
C.you will be healthy as long as you stop dieting
D.an unhealthy diet can lead to serious health problems
15.The underlined word"it"in Paragraph 2 probably refers toC.
A.the present from the author's friends
B.having long chats in the night
C.the author's diet to lose weight
D.the author's cell phone.
