B．Saying “I'm sorry”．‎ C．Attention from heart. D．Doing nothing.‎ 答案　C　[由文章第一段第三、四句“Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is 6‎ ‎ our attention.And especially if it's given from the heart.”可知，在彼此的交流中作者最看重的是发自内心的注意力。]‎ ‎17．The woman patient stopped telling her story to most people because________.‎ A．she didn't get enough respect from others.‎ B．she was discouraged by being often interrupted C．people often told her their own opinions D．people couldn't understand her sad situation 答案　B　[由第二段前三句内容可知，当她讲述自己的故事时常常被人们打断，因此最后她就不讲了。故选B。]‎ ‎18．If you hand a handkerchief to someone crying，you may ________.‎ A．hurt his feelings B．make him embarrassed C．encourage him to continue to cry D．stop him from letting out his sorrow 答案　D　[由倒数第二段第二句中的“...a handkerchief may be just another way to shut him down，to take them out of their experience of sadness.”可知，应选D。]‎ ‎19．It can be inferred from the passage that while communicating，________.‎ A．listening is a perfect way to respond to others B．people keep silent because they don't know the answer C．keeping silent means being too shy to speak D．it is easy to form the habit of listening silently 答案　A　[由第一段第一句“I suppose that the most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen.”可知，作者在第一段就点明了自己的观点，后文用事例进行了论证。故应选A。]‎ ‎20．Which of the following might be the author's opinion about communication?‎ A．Keep silent. B．Just listen.‎ C．Be careful. D．Tell your own story.‎ 答案　B　[由第一段第二句“Just listen.”可知，B项正确。]‎ B Cast your mind back to the past twenty years and hardly did anyone have their own email account.The Internet had just taken off in 1991 and people were only using office and PCbased email exchanges.‎ In the mid 1990s external email providers emerged.The most famous of these was Hotmail，the first free email provider and webbased email service.Sabeer Bhatia and Jack Smith launched Hotmail on July 4,1996.And Microsoft took note of and bought Hotmail for $400 million on 6‎ ‎ December 30,1997，a nice birthday present for Bhatia who turned 29 that day.It was relaunched as MSN Hotmail and in 2007 was relaunched again as Windows Live Hotmail.‎ Fast forward the present day and most of us have at least a personal webbased email account.It seems impossible to live without them.One of the biggest advantages of email is the fact that communication has become so much easier，especially with those across different time zones.Email takes seconds to send a message whereas letters，as we used to communicate by，could take weeks.Of course there was the fax，that beeping invention from the 1980s，but it wasn't as secure as email and you never knew if the person on the other end had picked up your fax or if it had got lost somewhere in the office.‎ In conclusion，one of the best inventions from the 1990s has to be email.But sometimes people are too closely connected to their email and have a compulsion to check it several times a day.At work，people have become lazy and instead of going to speak to the person sitting next to them，they send an email，causing an in box to pile up with more time spent reading email and responding rather than working.Clearly，an invention that saved time because of its quick and speedy connection can now also cause us to waste a lot of time.‎ ‎【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。电子邮件的历史十分短暂，但是由于其简单、方便和快捷的特点而深受大众喜爱。很明显，现代生活和电子邮件密不可分，当然它也存在着某些方面的不足。　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　‎ ‎21．The earliest email came into being probably________.‎ A．in 1991 B．in 1996‎ C．in 1997 D．in 2007‎ 答案　B　[细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“The most famous of these was Hotmail，the first free email provider and webbased email service.Sabeer Bhatia and Jack Smith launched Hotmail on July 4,1996.”可以推知，最早的电子邮件应该是在1996年出现的。]‎ ‎22．Which of the following may be the main idea of the second paragraph?‎ A．The development of Microsoft.‎ B．The life of Sabeer Bhatia and Jack Smith.‎ C．The connection of MSN and Hotmail.‎ D．The history of modern email.‎ 答案　D　[段落大意题。该段主要介绍了电子邮件的产生和发展，所以是叙述电子邮件的发展史的，故D项为正确答案。]‎ ‎23．The author mentions “fax”in the third paragraph in order to tell us that ________.‎ A．it is exactly as good as email B．it is much better than email C．it is less convenient than email 6‎ D．it is easier and faster than email 答案　C　[推理判断题。文章第三段中的“but it wasn't as secure as email and you never knew if the person on the other end had picked up your fax or if it had got lost somewhere in the office”叙述了传真机的缺点，由此可以推知，它没有电子邮件方便。]‎ ‎24．The underlined word“compulsion”in Paragraph 4 probably means“________”．‎ A．strong desire B．common sense C．special curiosity D．general idea 答案　A　[词义猜测题。根据上下文的语境可知，该词的意思是“强烈欲望”。]‎ ‎25．One of the disadvantages of email is that ________.‎ A．email saves us much money and also takes us much time B．email helps people to communicate easily and quickly C．people have to get in touch with each other by emailing D．people waste a lot of time by reading and answering email 答案　D　[细节理解题。文章最后一段介绍了电子邮件的不足之外，即它可能会浪费时间，故D项为正确答案。]‎ 写作素材集锦 单词 emerge出现 短语 ‎1．cast your mind back(to sth)回顾，回想 ‎2．take off起飞；迅速流行；脱下 句子 In conclusion，one of the best inventions from the 1990s has to be email.‎ 总之，二十世纪九十年代以来，电子邮件是最好的发明之一 。‎ 6‎
