27、r loved ones in danger.可知,他们可能不知道使用手机会让他们或者他们爱的人陷入危险之中,所以前句是说沉迷手机的人甚至还不知道这种危险,所以 D 选项是正确的。 2.G 根据后句 At least 200,000 car accidents were caused by texting messages.可知,发短信引起了很多的车祸,所以前句也是用数字表明 28%的事故都是人们玩手机引起的,故选 G。 3.B 根据后句的 A survey done by the Pew Institute suggested that Americans in the age rangin
28、g from 18 to 29 years old send 88 text messages a day.可知,一项调查显示,年龄在 18 至 29 岁的美国人每天发送 88 条短信,说明人们现在已经深陷手机之中,所以 B 选项是正确的。 4.F 前句中的 by blocking these feelings with all of our latest technologies, we may be harming ourselves 告诉我们使用手机太多会伤害我们自己,比如引起忧郁和焦虑,故选 F。5.E 根据该段的内容可知,主要告诉我们使用手机太多给我们是生活造成的一些负面影响,比如很

30、surprising me 可看出, 作者是没有思想准备的。5.B 考查固定结构。从后文 Simon 的改变可知,是因为这位新教师对 Simon 产生了一定的影响。6.B 此处叙述的是 Simon 往好的方面的转变, 所以可知他对于这位新教师是很喜爱的。7.D 此处说的是近期的转变开始交朋友, 到朋友家去玩, 以显示出新老师对他近期产生的影响。8.B self-respect 自尊;self-doubt 自我怀疑;self-pity 自怜;self-defence 自卫。根据文章可知 Simon 的转变是好的, 所以用四个中唯一的正面词汇。故选 B。9.D 从空格后的内容可知, 空格需填的动作
31、是一个思索的过程。综合句意可得到答案 wonder“想知道”。10.A 考查语境逻辑。通过语义不难判断, 这位新老师在甚至连自己都没有注意到的情况下改变了 Simon 的态度, 所以 even 符合句意。11.A 后文是对过去事件的回顾, 所以用 remember。12.C 老师让学生在班级前面做报告。通过“Speak up”可知是做口头的报告。13.B 通过下文“Speak up”可知 Jeanne 的说话声音很轻。14.D 此处指 Simon 是唯一一个 Jeanne 需要说服的人。15.C 根据 some students were giving reports in the front
32、 of the class 可知, 老师是要最后一排的同学也能听见。16.A 根据 sat up straighter, paid more attention 和 became happy 可知都是正面词汇, 以表示 Simon 的好的转变, 所以可判断选 A。17.C 考查固定结构。intend to do 打算做,想做;pretend to do 假装做;refuse to do 拒绝做;happen to 恰巧。Simon 的这一切改变完全是因为在那节课上, 我叫了最后一排学生的名字, 而他恰巧坐在最后一排。18.A 根据上文中的 Simons the expert on this 可
33、知这是一种表扬。以此揭示文章的主旨: 最需要表扬的学生就是坐在最后一排的学生。19.D 这位老师这次无心的举动是她教师生涯中最宝贵一课。20.B 此处是说作者很感激这样宝贵的一课来得比较早。故选 B。1Module 4 Carnival1 课文与语法填空阅读所学课文，在空白处填入 1 个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。Carnival,which comes from two Latin words,1.
