    When American inventor Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone in 1876, it was a revolution
    in communication. For the first time, people could talk to each other over great distances. Over the last
    two decades a new means of spoken communication has appeared: the mobile phone.
    The mobile phone is like a two-way radio. But the two-way radio is a limited means of communication. As soon as the users move out of range of each other's broadcast area, the signal is lost. In the 1940s,
    researchers experimented with the idea of using a number of radio masts (无线电杆) to pick up signals
    from two-way radios. A caller would always be within range of one of the masts. When he or she moved
    too far away from one mast, the next mast would pick up the signal. (Scientists referred to each mast's
    reception area as being a "cell". This is why in many countries mobile phones are called "cellphones".)
    However, 1940s' technology was just at the beginning. The "mobile phones" were huge boxes. They
    had to be moved by car.
    The first real mobile telephone call was made in 1973 by Dr Martin Cooper. As soon as his invention
    was complete, he tested it by calling a rival (竞争对手) scientist to announce his success. Within a
    decade, mobile phones became available to the public.
    They have changed the way we do a lot of things. One powerful feature is: the short message service
    (SMS) or text message. It's the perfect communication method for the busy modern lifestyle. The text
    message has changed the way we write in English. The language construction became more lax (松散的). Traditional rules of grammar and spelling are much less important.
    Over the last few years mobiles have become more and more advanced. We have seen the
    introduction of cameras, global positioning system and Internet access.
    Alexander Graham Bell would be surprised if he could see how far the science of the telephone has
    developed in less than 150 years. If he were around today, he might say: ''That's gr8! But I'm v busy
    rite now. Will call U 2nite."
    1. The article is intended to ______.
    A. warn people of the possible risks in using mobile phones
    B. inform readers of the history and benefits of mobile phones
    C. convince people of the uses of mobile phones

    2. What's the correct time order about the development of communication?
    a. the telephone invented by Alexander Graham Bell
    b. mobile telephone call made by Dr Martin Cooper

    A. a, c, b, d
    B. b, a, c, d
    C. a, c, d, b
    D. a, b, c, d
    3. The last sentence of the whole passage ''That's gr8! But I'm v busy rite now. Will call U 2nite." may probably means ______.
    A. That's great! But I'm very busy right now. (I) Will call you tonight
    B. It's eight now. I'm very busy. (I) Will call you tonight
    C. That's great! But I'm busy writing now. (I) Will call you at two tonight
    D. "8" is great! But I'm very busy right now. (I) Will call it "U" to night
    4. What do you think of the author according to the last paragraph?
    A. Humorous.
    B. Ironic (讽刺的).
    C. Kind.
    D. Worried.

  • 历史文化类阅读

什么是历史文化类阅读:

本类题型常用的方式是夹叙夹议。叙述的目的是为了议,所以要把握其议才是主要方面。阅读这类文章,先弄清其引入的话题,再弄清里面人物对其不同的看法,然后理解作者本身对话题的观点看法或思考。


历史文化类阅读技巧:

题型说明】历史文化类阅读理解文章属高考常选材料之一。这类文章常涉及历史、文化、法制、宗教等方面的文学艺术、发明创造、文化遗产保护、宗教与文化、风俗与习惯、道德与法制、中外文学名著节选、等等。这类材料的命题点往往落在主旨大意题、事实细节题上。
答题方法】在做这类阅读理解题时,我们应注意以下几个方面:
1、采用先题后文:先读题目,再带着问题读文章。这类阅读理解文章相对来说事实细节题稍多一点,如果带着问题读文章,有利于我们抓细节。
2、先做细节题。因为做完了局部性的事实细节题后,自然会加深我们对文章的理解,这样更有利于做主旨大意题。
3、重点敲定主旨题。主旨大意题提问的形式主要有两大类:一类是Main idea型;一类是Topic或Title型。
在解答这类试题时应注意以下几点:
a.读首句抓大意。
文化教育类阅读理解文章多采用说明文、议论文体裁,而这类文章大都采用文章段落的中心,即主题句在文章开头。因此,要寻找这类文章的主旨大意就需要研究文章的首句。
b.读尾句抓大意。
有时这类文章的主题句安排在文章的结尾,作为对全篇的总结。
c.读首段抓大意。
有些文章或段落的开头和结尾部分都有主题句。这种结构是为了突出主题思想而使用两次点题的写作方法。这两个主题句在句子结构和用词上有所不同,而且在内容上前句和后句也不重复。
d.从段落中抓大意。
有些文章或段落的主题句在文章中,这种文章或段落往往以一句话或几句话引出要表达的主题,在主题句出现后,再举例子陈述细节或继续论证。
e.归纳要点抓大意。
有些文章或段落无明显的主题句,只是暗示性地体现主题。这就要求同学们在阅读过程中根据文中所叙述的事实或线索来概括总结主旨大意。
