Question

【題目】“People are ruder today because they are rushed and more ‘time poor’ than ever before,” says Patsy Rowe, “Manners have fallen off the radar(雷達(dá)).” Due to our strong attraction to electronic equipment it is a wonder more people don’t wake up each morning and greet the singing birds with a complaint about the noise. Here are some examples of rudeness.

Some people prefer to do almost everything over the internet. To them, dealing with an actual human is like an evolutionary step backward. It feels very slow because humans don’t work at 4G speeds. When you have dinner with friends, you will often notice someone paying more attention to his mobile phone. We have programmed ourselves to think that every new message brings life-changing news, so taking calls and checking our texts are more important than talking to the people we are with. What is worse, some people even tend to send anonymous（匿名的） rude messages by email.

However, rudeness is never acceptable. Don’t assume it is OK to be rude if the person you’re in touch with won’t recognize you. If you have something awful to say, have the courage to face the person and say it, write a letter or email and sign it, or forget it. Upsetting people with unsigned messages is cruel and annoying.

We shouldn’t blame technology for our shortcomings. Technology is here to help us, but we should not allow it to take over our lives. An important step is admitting our shortcomings. People spend a lot of time pointing out bad manners but it would be even more helpful if we’d publicly recognize good manners when we see them.

A. People can tell good from bad behavior.

B. Radar is able to observe human behavior.

C. People care little about their behavior.

D. Radar can be used to predict human behavior.

【2】Some people are less willing to deal with humans because ________.

A. they are becoming less patient

B. they are growing too independent

C. they have to handle many important messages

D. they have to follow an evolutionary step backward

【3】The author thinks sending unsigned awful messages is ________.

A. ridiculousB. hatefulC. acceptableD. reasonable

【4】What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A. We should praise good behavior.

B. Technology can never be blamed.

C. We should keep pointing out mistakes.

試題分析：這篇短文主要講述了隨著生活節(jié)奏的加快，人們變得越來(lái)越無(wú)禮，很多人不再關(guān)心禮貌問(wèn)題。現(xiàn)在有越來(lái)越多人喜歡借助于電子產(chǎn)品來(lái)做一切事情，比如用手機(jī)發(fā)匿名的惡意的短信。但是無(wú)論如何，這種粗魯?shù)男袨槭遣豢山邮艿模�出現(xiàn)這個(gè)問(wèn)題，我們需要譴責(zé)的不是這些電子產(chǎn)品，而是要不斷檢查我們自己的行為，認(rèn)識(shí)到什么才是正確的行為。

【1】C 推理判斷題。聯(lián)系前文People are ruder today可知，當(dāng)今人們比以前更粗魯了，以及下文描述，故C項(xiàng)“人們不太關(guān)心他們的行為了”正確。

【2】A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段To them, dealing with an actual human is like an evolutionary step backward.可知，人們對(duì)于與真實(shí)的人打交道變得更沒(méi)耐心了。故選Ａ。

【3】B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中Upsetting people with unsigned messages is cruel and disgusting.可知，用匿名的短信騷擾別人是殘忍的和令人討厭的，故選Ｂ。

【4】A 主旨大意題。這段主要講了我們應(yīng)該承認(rèn)我們的缺點(diǎn)，但是如果公開(kāi)的表?yè)P(yáng)好的行為習(xí)慣將會(huì)更有幫助，故選A“我們應(yīng)該鼓勵(lì)好的行為”。
