【要点综述】本文主要论述现代技术的消极影响——现代技术的使用在疏远人与人之间的距离。
1.B 主旨大意题。
本文主要论述了现代技的影响。
2.C 句意理解题。
第一段作者提出:
通讯革命使我们不再面对面地交谈;第二段作者举自己生活的一例来予以说明;第三段作者感慨“Nowitmakespeoplesittingnexttoyoufeelabsent”,即其意应为:
现在技术使人们很难有面对面的交谈。
故选C项。
3.D 推理判断题。
根据第五段可知,作者并不反对现代技术,也认为它极有帮助,只是某一些结果让他感到不安,比如第二段中他所举的生活例子。
由此判断他会认为使用现代技术有时令人感到尴尬,故选D项。
4.B 推理判断题。
根据第四段可推断现代技术正在疏远人们之间的关系,故选B项。
5.A
词义猜测题。
画线词所在的这一段主要在讲述现代技术对他的消极影响,因此他才决定限制自己对现代技术的使用。
由此判断画线词应意为“加深”,即:
加重他的不爱交际的天性。
故选A项。
