little amber to him and i found it scary for me because shocks was so much bigger than her.”“but amber wasnt scared and shocks was really excited to meet her and theyve kept that bond ever since.”the

us the same way they once did.1 at parties,more people are on their smartphones than on their drinks.according to a recent international data corporation study,well over half of all americans have a smartphone and reach for it the moment they wake up,keeping it in hand all day.in addition,too much of society is using smartphones while driving and as a result getting into car crashes.34 percent of teens admit to text while driving.2 peoples attachment to their smartphones is unbelievably becoming more important than the lives of themselves and others.just as drivers dismiss the importance of focusing while on the road,many people also fail to recognize the significance of human interaction.we are starting to get used to people seemingly talking themselves everywhere.3 it is actually sending a message to that friend:the person i am texting is more important than you.in addition,relying on our smartphone to make friends does not give us the same advantage as being able to make new friendships in the real world.4as many people risk their lives and the lives of people around them just to send a text or mindlessly check their massages,smartphones are in many ways more dangerous to people.the quality of this technology is de-advancing societal achievements and weakening the value of communication.5a.and they confirm that text messaging is their number one driving interruption.b.face-to-face conversations will give us much stronger communication skills in the long run.c.over dependence on the smart phone gives rise to many problems.d.it is true that we can make new friends using smart phones.e.not only is the smartphone affecting our desire to interact(交流)face-to-face but it is also lowering societys ability to communicate.f.when with their friends,some people pointlessly check or send text messages in the presence of a friend,which sends a message to that friend.g.this is not due to a lack of desire to socialize,but the smartphone.答案與解析【語篇導(dǎo)讀】本文是一篇議論文,講述了智能手機(jī)給人們帶來了方便的同時(shí),也帶來了一些問題。智能手機(jī)的出現(xiàn)影響了人們面對(duì)面交流的渴望,降低了人們交往的社會(huì)能力,還會(huì)引發(fā)一些交通安全問題。1.g根據(jù)空后“at parties,more people are on their smartphones than on their drinks.”可知,現(xiàn)在的聚會(huì)不如以前那樣令人激動(dòng)和興奮,其原因不是人們?nèi)狈ι缃坏目释?而是智能手機(jī)的出現(xiàn),故g項(xiàng)符合語境。2.a根據(jù)空前“in addition,too much of society is using smartphones while driving and as a result getting into car crashes.34 percent of teens admit to text while driving.”可知,開車時(shí)收發(fā)短信已是影響安全駕駛的第一要素,故a項(xiàng)符合語境。3.f根據(jù)空后“it is actually sending a message to that friend:the person i am texting is more important than you.”可知,在和朋友面對(duì)面交談時(shí),如果再用手機(jī)和其他人聯(lián)系的話,會(huì)讓對(duì)面的朋友有不被尊重的感覺。故f項(xiàng)符合語境。4.b根據(jù)空前“in addition,relying on our smartphone to make friends does not give us the same advantage as being able to make new friendships in the real world.”可知,面對(duì)面交友比通過手機(jī)交友的好處多。從長遠(yuǎn)來看,面對(duì)面交談可以增強(qiáng)我們的交際能力。故b項(xiàng)符合語境。5.e根據(jù)空前“the quality of this technology is de-advancing societal achievements and weakening the value of communication.”可知,智能手機(jī)的出現(xiàn)影響了人們面對(duì)面交流的渴望,降低了人們交往的社會(huì)能力。故e項(xiàng)符合語境。導(dǎo)學(xué)號(hào)29402168.讀后續(xù)寫閱讀下面短文,根據(jù)所給情節(jié)進(jìn)行續(xù)寫,使之構(gòu)成一個(gè)完整的故事。the end of my

of swans to grandma on their 50th anniversary.“why dont we see about buying another one,” i suggested,hoping the situation could somehow be righted.grandpa thought for a few moments before answering.he finally said,“no.its not that easy,bruce.you see,swans mate for life.” he raised his finger to point,holding the fishing pole in his other hand.“theres nothing we can do for the swan thats left.he has to work it out for himself.”a few days later,we drove by the pond while doing our morning check on the cows.we found the other swan lying near the same spot we had found the first one.it,too,was dead. then july 12 came.that was the day grandma passed away.grandma had died suddenly that morning of a stroke.by the afternoon,my parents were there.the old house was soon crowded
