Recently, university students around the world were asked to volunteer in a global experiment called Unplugged. It was designed to see how young people would react if they were asked to observe a total media ban by unplugging all forms of media devices for 24 hours.

Unplugged is being run by Dr. Roman Gerodimos, a lecturer in Communication and Journalism at Bournemouth University.During the experiment, Dr. Gerodimos said there were already signs of how much the exercise affected volunteers.He said:“They’re reporting withdrawal symptoms, overeating, feeling nervous, isolated and disconnected.”

During their 24-hour test, three of the experiment’s participants were followed around by a BBC reporter plus cameraman.They were asked to write down 100 lines about their day offline, but of course, they all waited until the next day when they had access to their laptops.

Elliot Day wrote:“Today, my whole morning routine was thrown up into the air.Despite being aware of the social importance of the media, I was surprised by how empty my life felt without the radio or newspapers.”

From Caroline Scott, we read:“I didn’t expect it, but being deprived of the media for 24 hours resulted in my day-to-day activities becoming so much harder to carry out than usual…I didn’t break out in a cold sweat like our lecturer expected us all to, but It’s not something I would like to do again!”

And Charlotte Gay wrote:“I have to say the most difficult item for me to be without has been  my mobile;not only is it a social device, it’s my main access point of communication.”

Earlier in the year, a UK government study found that in the UK we spend about half our waking hours using the media, often plugged into several things at once.So, with technology continuing to develop at an alarming rate, how much time will you set aside for sleep in the future?

1.What can we learn about the volunteers?

A.Volunteers didn’t write down about their day offline.

B.Volunteers weren’t allowed to use any media for 24 hours.

C.Volunteers were followed around by Dr Roman Gerodimos.

D.Only volunteers in the UK took part in Unplugged experiment.

2.Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the participants’ feelings?

A.Anxious.         B.Lonely            C.Bored.          D.Despaired.

3.Which of the following is true of Caroline Scott?

A.The media ban affected his temperature.

B.His work went on smoothly without the media.

C.His work was carried on hard without the media.

D.His life was empty without the radio or newspapers.

4.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A.People should use the media devices reasonably.

B.People can easily survive the media devices addict.

C.People can spend more time sleeping in the future.

D.People spend about half the time using the media devices.

5.The text is most probably a

试题分析:

1.B 细节题。根据第一段2,3行It was designed to see how young people would react if they were asked to observe a total media ban by unplugging all forms of media devices for 24 hours.可知是让那些年轻人24小时不使用电器。故B正确。

2.D 细节题。根据文章第一段最后一句“They’re reporting withdrawal symptoms, overeating, feeling nervous, isolated and disconnected.”可知ABC三项的内容都是文章提及的症状,只有D项是文章没有提及的症状。

3.C 推理题。根据文章倒数第二段From Caroline Scott, we read:“I didn’t expect it, but being deprived of the media for 24 hours resulted in my day-to-day activities becoming so much harder to carry out than usual…I didn’t break out in a cold sweat like our lecturer expected us all to, but It’s not something I would like to do again!”说明他的工作是要依靠媒体的,如果没有了媒体,他的工作很难进行。故C正确。

4.A 推断题。根据So, with technology continuing to develop at an alarming rate, how much time will you set aside for sleep in the future?说明我们要拿出一点时间出来做别的事情,不要受媒体的影响。要合理使用媒体技术。故A正确。

5.C 推理题。本文讲述的是年轻人对于电器装备的过分依赖,为了研究这一现象的具体影响,而进行的一项被称为Unplugged.的活动。文章中对此进行了报到和说明,说明本文属于新闻类。故C正确。

考点:考查新闻报告类的阅读

点评:本文讲述的是年轻人对于电器装备的过分依赖,为了研究这一现象的具体影响,而进行的一项被称为Unplugged.的活动。测试考生在阅读基础上的逻辑推理能力,要求考生根据文章所述事件的逻辑关系,对未说明的趋势或结局作出合理的推断;或根据作者所阐述的观点理论,对文章未涉及的现象、事例给以解释。考生首先要仔细阅读短文,完整了解信息,准确把握作者观点。

Sometimes, people are required to fill in personal information when they register online, which may lead to some unexpected trouble. Recently, the BBC is reporting that a 17-year-old girl in Australia posted a(n) 【小题1】  of her grandmother at home counting a large sum of cash that she  【小题2】  hidden in the house. Just eight hours later, two armed men  【小题3】  the girl’s house. They demanded to speak to her to find out where the grandmother’s house was,   【小题4】  they could get the money they had seen.   【小题5】 , the girl was not home at the time, so the robbers 【小题6】 a small amount of cash from the mother and left.
Because the 【小题7】 is still under investigation(调查), local police aren’t saying 【小题8】 else about it. It’s not known yet whether the girl had used privacy setting on the Facebook profile page, and even whether the robbers 【小题9】 the girl in the past.
Two other 【小题10】 were at home then, a 58-year-old man and a 14-year-old boy, the girl’s father and brother. Luckily, no one was 【小题11】 . The robbers left peacefully after  【小题12】  that the girl was not home and that no one else there knew anything about the  【小题13】  that had appeared in the photo.
Police in both Britain and Australia are using the case to 【小题14】  citizens of the dangers of posting personal information on social networks and to suggest users of websites  【小题15】   doing so. The police say it is  【小题16】  that the girl posted a comment in the past that gave clues to the address,    【小题17】  that the robbers knew the girl in another way.    【小题18】  , they suggest, a posting by a friend on their site could have   【小题19】  such information. To find it, the robbers would only have had to search for those posting on other pages that  【小题20】  the girl’s name.

My 4-year-old son now enjoys posting letters. He has formed the   36  of drawing pictures, writing his name on them, and then    37  the artwork in an envelope. He then insists on   38  his handwork to the neighbors, and a mail box he   39  belongs to the elderly couple who live next door. To be   40  , I didn’t think much of it, but I had   41  to warn my neighbors of the drawings   42  appearing in their letterboxes—I just didn’t have the   43  to do so, because I was a little busy recently.
On Tuesday of last week, I was walking down to school to collect my son when I   44  Mary, my elderly neighbor,   45  at her mail box. She said, “Jodie, is it your little son that has been posting items in my letterbox to me?” I was at once   46 , “Oh yes, Mary, it is. I’m sorry. I meant to tell you…” She cut me off, “Jodie, I just love his mail. I’ve   47  every item he has sent. You don’t know how much   48  the letters has made my day. I just love them.” While I was walking down to school after our   49 , many thoughts came to me. Mary doesn’t have a lot to fill her days,   50  she was a mother to a number of children herself who receives fairly regular visitors. The small   51  of getting some mail—pictures drawn by the hand of a young child—has brought   52  to her days, just as my visit to my grandparents does.
I have decided that my son should   53  this practice. He should also start sending some items to his grandparents in Perth as well. It will most   54  make their day.
It’s doing the little, simple things that can often make a big   55  in someone’s life.

China has become Volvo's third largest market, with more of its car models to go on sale in the world's largest auto(汽车) market this year, Chief Executive Office (CEO) of Volvo Cars China said in Tianjin.
Alexander Klose, CEO of Volvo Cars China, told Xinhua at the Ninth Tianjin International Automobile Trade Show, being held from Friday to Wednesday.
Klose said Volvo Cars had entered a new time of fast development, adding that its sales volume in China roared in 2010.
Up to the end of September, Volvo's global sales volume was up 12.5 percent year on year(同年比), compared with 52 percent year-on-year rise in China, he said.
Two new Volvo sales centers opened in Beijing within merely one week in early October, about two months after east China's ZhejiangGeely Holding Group Co acquired(购得)the Swedish brand from the US auto giant Ford for $1.5 billion in early August.
Klose said he was confident of seeing tremendous(巨大的) growth in China's auto market in the next five years. "As the Chinese government has increased the tax rate for large displacement (排量)cars already, we now have a lot of cars below three liters(升), and I think we'll stick to that strategy, as you can see now the XC60 which was introduced today is just two liters," he said.
"As the technology advances, we'll probably even see 1.6 liter engines or 1.5 liter engines in the future," he added.
Volvo Cars is not the only automaker hoping to take advantage of China's rapidly growing auto market.
Bentley, the famous British luxury(豪华) carmaker, will open a new sales center in China at Tianjin Thursday, which is the 11th one in China, according to a press release(新闻发布) by Shanghai-based Zenith Integrated Communications Corp (Zenith) Saturday at the auto show.
Zenth is the public relations agent of Bentley in China. The automaker has sold 421 limousines(大型豪华轿车) to China in 2009, and the goal for 2010 is 777, the release said.
【小题1】The word underlined in the third paragraph would probably be___.      

A.shouted loudlyB.increased in large numbers
C.reduced rapidlyD.burned brightly
【小题2】From this passage we can infer that ___.                       
A.The Ninth Tianjin International Automobile Trade Show was held from Friday to Wednesday.
B.Volvo Cars is a world-famous carmaker in Britain.
C.Of all the auto sales volume Volvo sales volume is only number one in China
D.Volvo sales centers are developing very fast in China recently
【小题3】The text is mainly about____.                       
A.China Becomes Volvo's 3rd largest market
B.Volvo Cars in China
C.Volvo Sales Volume in China
D.Carmakers in China
【小题4】How many carmakers are mentioned in this passage which opened and will open new sales centers in China recently?                                 
A.OneB.TwoC.ThreeD.Four
