Question

【題目】 High-tech machines have made life easier for millions around the world. However, some people still prefer low-tech ways of doing things. Here’s an example of why this is happening. You can microwave a frozen (冷凍的) hamburger in 60 seconds. However, it won’t taste as good as one you cook on the stove. And if you’re in that much of a hurry, you probably won’t take time to toast (烘烤) the bread. High-tech cooking saves time, but it doesn’t make better-tasting meals.

Most people get their news from high-tech sources (來源) like television or the Internet. This has many advantages. For example, electronic news is more up to date than newspapers or magazines. It’s also more exciting to see live and videotaped news events than photographs.

However, newspapers and magazines have some important advantages. They give more background and details. They also let you read the parts that are important to you and skip (跳過)the rest. Other high-tech time savers have similar disadvantages. For example, most people use the phone or email to stay in touch with friends and family members who live in other places. But when you use the Internet or the phone, you don’t always think carefully about what you are saying, and sometimes you forget the important things you want to communicate. Similarly, when you do your homework on the computer, you needn't check your spelling by yourself. However, you are so busy with the computer that they don’t pay enough attention to the actual words they are writing.

本文是一篇議論文，文章通過對比生活中的高科技產(chǎn)品和低科技產(chǎn)品，發(fā)現(xiàn)它們各有利弊，所以事物都具有兩面性。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“High-tech machines have made life easier for millions around the world”和“High-tech cooking saves time”，可知高科技產(chǎn)品使生活更簡單、更省時，故選B。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“electronic news is more up to date than newspapers or magazines. It’s also more exciting to see live and videotaped news events than photographs”，可知是有更即時和更生動兩個優(yōu)勢，故選A。

【3】判斷正誤題。根據(jù)“But when you use the Internet or the phone…and sometimes you forget the important things you want to communicate”，可知打電話時，我們有時會忘記一些重要的事，A選項表述正確，排除；根據(jù)“They give more background and details. They also let you read the parts that are important to you and skip the rest”，可知報紙和雜志會讓你閱讀重要的部分，跳過其他，B選項表述正確，排除；根據(jù)“Most people get their news from high-tech sources like television or the Internet…electronic news is more up to date than newspapers or magazines”，可知人們可以從電視或網(wǎng)絡上獲得最新資訊，C選項表述正確，排除；根據(jù)“But when you use the Internet or the phone, you don’t always think carefully about what you are saying”，可知發(fā)郵件時大家不會仔細斟酌要說的話，D選項表述錯誤，故選D。

【4】態(tài)度觀點題。Easy come, easy go. 來得快去得也快；Better late than never.遲做總比不做好；Every coin has two sides.凡事都有兩面性；Learn to walk before you run. 先學走，再學跑；循序漸進。通讀全文，根據(jù)作者的對比分析，可知論述了高科技產(chǎn)品有利有弊，故選C。

【5】篇章結(jié)構(gòu)題。通讀全文，可知文章行文主要是通過不斷舉例進行對比與論述，故選A。
