19．"People are ruder today because they are rushed and more‘time poor'than ever before，"says Patsy Rowe，"Manners have fallen off the radar（雷達）．"Due to our strong attraction to electronic equipment it is a wonder more people don't wake up each morning and greet the singing birds with a complaint（抱怨）about the noise．Here are some examples of rudeness．
Some people prefer to do almost everything over the Internet．To them，dealing with an actual human is like an evolutionary step backward．It feels very slow because humans don't work at 4G speeds．When you have dinner with friends，you will often notice someone paying more attention to his mobile phone．We have programmed ourselves to think that every new message brings life-changing news，so taking calls and checking our texts are more important than talking to the people we are with．What is worse，some people even tend to send anonymous（匿名的） rude messages by email．
However，rudeness is never acceptable．Don't assume it is OK to be rude if the person you're in touch with won't recognize you．If you have something awful to say，have the courage to face the person and say it，write a letter or email and sign it，or forget it．Upsetting people with unsigned messages is cruel and disgusting．
We shouldn′t blame technology for our shortcomings．Technology is here to help us，but we should not allow it to take over our lives．An important step is acknowledging our shortcomings．People spend a lot of time pointing out bad manners but it would be even more helpful if we′d publicly acknowledge good manners when we see them．

9．What can be infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1？D
A．People can tell good from bad behavior．
B．Radar is able to observe human behavior．
C．Radar can be used to predict human behavior．
D．People care little about their behavior．
10．Some people are less willing to deal with humans becauseB．
A．they are growing too independent
B．they are becoming less patient
C．they have to handle many important messages
D．they have to follow an evolutionary step backward．
11..What can we learn from the last paragraph？C
A．Technology will take over lives one day．
B．Technology can never be blamed
C．We should applaud good behavior．
D．We should keep pointing out mistakes．

分析 本文講述的是如今的人們比以前粗魯了，原因和新的科技有關(guān)，然后提出建議．

解答 9．D．句意理解題．劃線前句說People are ruder…，后句說strong attraction to electronic equipment，再結(jié)合劃線字面意思"禮貌已經(jīng)脫離了雷達"，可見作者說的是人們對可見的著迷導(dǎo)致他們不再關(guān)注禮貌．只有D項符合句意．
10．B．推理判斷題．根據(jù)題干中"less willing to deal with humans"定位到文章第二段中第二、三句內(nèi)容．由此可知，有些人不愿意跟人打交道是嫌人太慢（feels very slow），達不到4G速度（don't work at 4G speeds）．也就是說，這些人變得缺乏耐心．故選B．
11．C．推理判斷題．根據(jù)最后一段最后一句"…it would be even more helpful if we'd publicly acknowledge good manners when we see them．"可知，作者認為，我們應(yīng)該為那些禮貌行為喝彩．故選C．

點評 本篇文章主要是細節(jié)理解方面的題型，需要考生通過跳讀迅速找到對應(yīng)的句子進行詳細理解，句子的理解可以結(jié)合上下文意思，通過邏輯推理得到．

10．If you have a chance to go to Finland，you will probably be surprised to find how"foolish"the Finnish people are．
Take the taxi drivers for example．Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer．You can go anywhere in one，tell the driver to drop you at any place，say that you have some business to attend to，and then walk off without paying your fare．The driver w ould not show the least sign of anxiety．
The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests，but also serve outside diners．Hotel guests have their meals free，so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals．The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration card to the waiter．With such a loose check，you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge．
The Finnish workers are paid by the hour．They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the pay．From then on，they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly．
With so many loopholes （漏洞） in everyday life，surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take"petty advantages"．But the strange thing is，all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have atte nded to their business； not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms．And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in．As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do，living in such a society has turned everyone into a real"gentleman"．
In a society of such high moral practice，what need is there for people to be on guard against others？

14．While taking a taxi in Finland，C．
A．a(chǎn) passenger can go anywhere without having to pay the driver
B．a(chǎn) passenger pays two US dollars for a taxi ride
C．a(chǎn) passenger can never be turned down by the taxi driver wherever he wants to go
D．a(chǎn) passenger needs to provide good faith demonstration before leaving without paying
15．We know from the passage that big hotels in FinlandB．
A．a(chǎn)re mostly poorly managed           
B．provide meals for any diners
C．provide free wine and charge for food   
D．provide meals for only those who live in the hotels
16．Which of the following is NOT true about the workers and the bosses in Finland？D
A．The workers in Finland are paid by the hour．
B．The workers are always honest with their working hours．
C．The workers and their bosses will make an agreement in advance about the pay．
D．The bosses in Finland are too busy to check the working hours of their employees．
17．The word"those"in the last but one paragraph probably refers toA．
A．people who are dishonest 　       
B．people who often have meals in big hotels
C．people who often take taxis   　   
D．people who are worthy of trust．

Then she turned to me．Kissed me and said calmly，"Honey，you just have to learn how to take control．"With that，she left the room．
After watching crazy woman rushing in and out，shouting at everything in sight，I noticed that something in my mood（情緒） had changed．I was laughing．How could I have trouble with that phone？Her antics helped me realize I had been driven crazy by small things．Twenty minutes later my agent did call．I was able to listen to him and talk to him calmly．

9．Does solving a math problem give you a headache？Do you feel nervous when you sit a math exam？For most students，math can be tough but scientists have proved that math problems can actually trigger（引起） physical pain．
Scientists came to this conclusion with an in-depth experiment，which was published in the Public Library of Science One journal．They began by finding out how much participants fear math．Those involved were asked a series of questions such as how they feel when they receive a math textbook or when they walk into a math lesson．
Based on their answers，participants were divided into groups．One group was made up of people who were particularly afraid of math and participants in the other group were more comfortable with the subject．
Both groups were then given either math tasks or word tasks．When a math task was going to come next，a yellow circle would appear but when a word task was soon to come，a blue square would be shown．
Using a brain-scan machine，scientists noticed that whenever people from Group One saw a yellow circle，their brain would respond in a way similar to when their body is feeling pain．It was like the pain they would feel，for example，if they burnt their hand on a hot stove．But they reacted less strongly when they knew that they would be faced with a word task．
However，scientists saw no strong brain response from people in the second group．
Math can be difficult，and for those with high levels of mathematics-anxiety （HMA），math is associated with tension，apprehension（憂慮） and fear．"When you are really thinking about the math problems，you r mind is racing and you are worrying about all the things that could go wrong，"explained Ian Lyons from University of Chicago，US，leader of the study．"The higher a person's anxiety of a maths task，the more he activated brain regions associated with threat detection，and the experience of pain．"
More interestingly，the brain activity disappeared when participants actually started dealing with the math tasks．"This means that it's not that math itself hurts； rather，the expectation of mathis painful，"Lyons said．
Based on the study，scientists suggested that things could be done to help students worry less and move past their fear of math，which might mean they perform better in tests．
72．In the first stage，scientists ask participants some questions toB．
A．see whether math hurts                  
B．find out how much they fear math
C．observe how their brain response            
D．test their endurance of pain
73．The underlined word"the expectation of math"is closest in meaning toD．
A．the attempt of learning math                
B．the motivation to work out math problem 
C．the effort to understand math               
D．the act of thinking about math
74．Which is the best title for the passage？C
A．How to overcome math fear．
B．Physical pain affects math performance．
C．Math pain in your brain．
D．Unknown truth about pain．
75．What can be concluded from the experiment？D
A．The expectation of math has no relation to students'confidence in math．
B．Moderate mathematic anxiety improves students'academic performance．
C．Effective solutions have been worked out to lower students'anxiety of math．
D．Physical pain caused by HMA disappears in the process of doing math problem．
