Imagine this: You’re working on a school paper on your laptop. Your screen is full of open programs, including documents, Web pages and MSN chat.
Suddenly, a friend sends you a link to a video and demands that you watch it. He says it’s about cats, it’s funny and you’re going to love it. But you can’t help thinking, “I don’t have time for this right now.” You start to feel even more stressed out than you already did about your paper. While you don’t want to disappoint your friend, you need to keep working.
This is a common dilemma in an age of multitasking.
I often find that my focus is so easily distracted that when I need to work I become quite annoyed in response to these types of links. At the same time, when they’re from good friends, I can’t just ignore them. Usually, I say something like “Cool, I’ll look at it later.” But this often disappoints the other person, creating an awkward break in the conversation. Other times, I’ll just say “OK”, wait a while and then send a second message saying “That was great!” While this approach is simpler that ignoring the other person, it seems ridiculous to life to avoid making a social faux pas(失礼).
The problem is that new technologies offer a good many new possibilities, both positive and negative. On the one hand, the Internet connects you to millions of people whom you can make friends with and learn from. On the other hand, it offers just as many ways to waste time.
When you’re signed on to MSN chat, the other person can’t see that you have three papers to finish before the end of the week---so you better believe they’re going to send you a video of monkeys dancing to music.
Online chat is convenient, but the advantage of face-to-face communication is that you can see exactly what other people are doing.
If they are really good friends, you should feel blessed to give them your full attention without worrying about what’s going on in that other window or program.
1.Why does the author feel annoyed when he receives a link to a video from a friend of his?
A. Because his friend wants to distract him from his work.

2.What will the author do to respond to his friend’s request for watching the video?
A. He will do as his friend asks. \
B. He will put it off or tell a white lie.

3.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. There is an embarrassing pause or silence.
B. The author has broken the ice.
C. His friend intends to end their friendship.
D. They need a good rest after the conversation.
4.Compared with online chat, face-to-face communication allows people _______.
A. to communicate with each other more conveniently
B. to watch a video of a monkey dancing to music

5.Which of the following statements does the author probably agree with?

Forget chip fat, sugar cane or rapeseed oil — the latest source of biofuel could be watermelons. Scientists have discovered that the fruit is a great source of sugar that can be readily distilled (蒸馏) into alcohol to power cars and farm machinery.
And sellers reject 360,000 tons of “substandard” fruit every year in America alone which could be used as an economical way to make fuel. The waste from US growers could produce nearly two million gallons (nine million litres) of biofuel per year.
In the study, researchers at the United States Department of Agriculture set out to determine the biofuel potential of juice from rejected watermelons —those not sold due to cosmetic imperfections, and currently ploughed back into the field. About a fifth of each yearly watermelon crop is left in the field because of surface blemishes (瑕疵) or because they are misshapen.
Dr. Wayne Fish, who led the team, found that 50 percent of the fruit was fermentable (可发酵的) into alcohol which could provide valuable fuel.
“We’ve shown that the juice of these watermelons is a source of readily fermentable sugars, representing an unexploited raw material for alcohol biofuel production,” he said.
The study, published in the journal Biotechnology for Biofuels, discovered that watermelons could produce around 20 gallons of fuel per acre from fruit that otherwise would go to waste.
Production of biofuels has been targeted by Western governments as a way to support renewable energy targets.
The European Union has a target for 2010 that 5.75 percent of transport fuels should come from biological sources, but the target is unlikely to be met.
The British government’s Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation requires five percent of the fuel sold at the pump by 2010 to be biofuel.
1.The passage mainly tells us ______.
A.watermelon juice will be the largest source of renewable energy |
B.the advantages of fuel made from watermelons |
C.Western countries aim at producing biofuels |
D.watermelons could be used to make fuel |
2. It can be learned from the text that ______.
A.about two gallons of fuel could be made from rejected fruit per acre |
B.sellers in the world throw away 360,000 tons of watermelons every year |
C.half of the watermelons were fermentable into alcohol to provide energy |
D.five percent of fuel is required to be biofuel from watermelons by 2010 in Britain |
3.The underlined word “cosmetic” in Paragraph 3 probably means ______.
A.fresh | B.sweet | C.surface | D.inside |
4.We can infer from the passage that ______.
A.it will cost a lot to make biofuel from watermelons |
B.Western countries are engaged in biofuel study but still have a long way to go |
C.watermelon juice has been used as a source of sugars to produce alcohol biofuel |
D.the European Union is likely to meet its target of transport fuels from biological sources |

高三英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析
My name is Ralph and I am 42 years old. I work in a factory that I enjoy very much. On May 27, 1999, I was working on an automatic machine. While working my hand was pulled into the machine and my middle finger on my right hand was ripped off. I had surgery to replace what was left of the finger and now I have a finger that is almost as long as my index finger.
Over the years I have been very blessed for a full and healthy life. Most of all, blessed for having my wife. We have grown together and grown in our faith. Life is going to go on with or without my finger. I was not going to let this take over my life and I pushed to go back to work and got light duty.
This was where my lesson began. When I returned to work, I started getting comments and some teasing from people asking me if it was worth losing my finger over a pack of cigarettes.

This rumor hurt more than losing my finger in that machine. Everyone was called in to a meeting to resolve this matter and get the story straight. I had to share my lesson.
