Can you imagine not having your mobile phone? In our hightech,
47、inahurry age, a cellfree life is a hard concept to swallow. Our mobile phones can now access the Internet, and many people feel the need to express their every thought on their blog pages. If I gave up my cellphone, people would think I was mad. I wish I had the strength to toss away my technology.
48、I have an office phone, a home phone, an email and if people want to contact me, they can. If Im out, people can leave a message. Do they really need to find me 24/7? However, Im a bit like Frodo in the movie Lord of the Rings. The power of the ring is too strong and I cant let it go. Mobile phones
49、have become necessary tools in our busy life. For most people, they hold all contacts and many of us dont write up address books any more. The latest phones carry our music, pictures, movies and everything else. We feel lost without this device and when we do misplace it, we feel cut off from our fe
50、llow. “Where have you been？” said a friend, who saw me a week after I lost my cellphone, “I tried calling you, but you disappeared. You disappeared off the face of the Earth.” See, when you dont have a mobile phone, you dont exist. Im not really going to toss my mobile phone away, in fact. We humans

The writer mentions Frodo to _.A. show it is difficult to get rid of the mobile phoneB. show how much he likes FrodoC. suggest a cellfree life is what he wantsD. introduce a film character to us答案与解析：A推理判断题。第
53、三段中的“However, Im a bit like Frodo in the movie Lord of the Rings. The power of the ring is too strong and I cant let it go.”表明作者认为自己就像指环王中的人物Frodo，他无法摆脱指环，而作者也不能摆脱手机。这个例子是用来证明摆脱手机有多么困难。因此答案为A项。58What do we know about mobile phones in the 4th paragraph?A. Mobile phones can do anything for us.B. Mobil
54、e phones have become very important in our life.C. We could not live without mobile phones.D. We would be cut off by our fellow without mobile phones.答案与解析：B段落大意题。文章的第四段紧紧围绕主题句“Mobile phones have become necessary tools in our busy life”来写，阐述手机在我们生活中的重要性。59What can be inferred from the last paragraph
55、?A. The writer is not really going to toss his mobile phone away.B. When you dont have a mobile phone, you dont exist.C. The writer decides not to serve his mobile phone.D. We humans can control ourselves and machines.答案与解析：D推理判断题。在最后一段作者表明，我们不能扔掉手机，因为人类有交际的需求，而手机又能很好地为人类服务。所以在2009年，“我”决定不为手机服务，而是该关
56、闭的时候关闭手机，让它为“我”服务。最后一句“Like all machines, I can always turn it off”暗示答案为D项。B Two thirds of teenagers in the US and Australia intend to work abroad in Europe or Asia when they leave school even though most of them speak no foreign language.Most young people think they can get by in a foreign country

68、ps that once was true, but today, to be sure, there is economic variety within the elderly, and most of them arent poor. It is impossible to determine the effect of the discounts on individual companies. For main firms, they are a stimulus to income. But in other cases the discounts are given at the
69、 expense, directly or indirectly, of younger Americans. Moreover, they directly annoy some politicians and scholars who consider it a coming conflict between the generations. Generational tensions are being fueled by continuing debate over Social Security benefits, which mostly involves a transfer o

75、n returnC. old people are entitled to special treatment for their contribution to societyD. the senior discounts can make up for the lack of the Social Security system答案与解析：A第二段提到，老年人享受打折优惠是基于一个广泛的认同：高龄拮据。66What does the author think of the Social Security system?A.
