Spending your spare time alone or with your friends, which do you prefer? For me, I'd rather be alone. 1. Being with friends can be fun and can help you get through the rough spots in life. However, it's the time alone, I think, that forms you as a person.

2. Of course, I can think about these things when I’m with others, but it's harder to concentrate in a crowd. Being alone gives me the quiet time to really think about my life and what I want to do with it.

By staying alone, I can listen to the silence and relax completely. When I'm alone I can practice meditation (冥想) and lower my stress level. 3. Too much time with friends means filling my mind with a lot of chats. That’s enjoyable for a moment, but can dull my Concentration.

If I’m with other people, it's easy sometimes to become too worried about what other people think of me. When I'm alone I have time to step back. 4.

Finally, when I’m constantly in the company of other people, I’m always making compromises in order to find solutions that the entire group can enjoy. 5.

It’s natural to want to be with other people, but I find the time I spend alone is more valuable to me in the long run.

A.And that naturally leads to you feeling more independent.

B.This will prevents me from doing things I actually enjoy.

C.I need this time alone to re-energize my mind and spirit.

D.That's a very good way to sharpen my powers of concentration.

E.The time spent alone gives you a greater appreciation for yourself.

F.When alone, I have time to think about my goals and to develop a strategy to reach them.

G.Thus, I can see the real value of things, without being influenced by the opinions of others.

高三英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

There are many things people do with their spare time.Have you ever thought about tuning(调音)your own piano for fun and profit？Are you a piano teacher or player who really does not want the expense of hiring a piano tuner and feels that you could do it yourself with a little training？Well，this is your lucky day.All you need are the right tools，a piano and patience.

So，why would I want to tune my piano？There are many reasons for tuning your own piano.

·It is a very pleasant thing to do.

·You can make up to　 $80 each time tuning other people's pianos.

·There are millions of pianos in the world and thousands of new ones are being sold every day.There are not enough piano tuners available to tune them all.

·You can provide a valuable service for friends，family and others.

·You can teach yourself very cheaply and then develop it into a part­time or full­time business.

You may have thought that only a trained expert could do this，someone who had devoted years of study and developed a sense of perfect pitch(音高)．In the past，tuning a piano was as much an art form as it was a technology exercise，but now the balance is swaying(摇动) more towards the technology and the final result is as good or even better than tuning by ear.

A few simple tools and a laptop computer with tuning software are all that are required.The real secret is the tuning software，which makes the whole process extremely easy.It means you do not have to train your ears but just look at the laptop screen to know when the piano string is in tune.

I have put together an e­book in my website with all the information you need to get started tuning your own piano, where to get the free software and where to buy the tools.

I hope I have inspired you to think about piano tuning and actually give it a go.You will find it a very rewarding and pleasant activity even if it remains just a hobby.

How many times a day do you check your email? When you wake up? Before bed? A dozen times in between? The technology that was supposed to simplify our lives has become the vital time-suck: the average teen spends more than seven hours a day using technological devices, plus an additional hour just text-messaging friends.

The advantage of technological devices is connectedness: email lets us respond on the go, and we are in touch with more people during more hours of the day than at any other time in history. But is it possible we’re more lonely than ever, too? That’s what MIT professor Sherry Turkle observes in her new book, Alone Together, a fascinating portrait of our changing relationship with technology. Turkle details the ways technology has redefined our comprehension of closeness and loneliness—and warns us of the danger of accepting such virtual(虚拟的) relationships in place of lasting emotional connections.

For Turkle, the biggest worry is the effect all these shallow connections have on our development. Is technology offering us the lives we want to live? “We’re texting people at a distance,” says Turkle, “We’re using lifeless objects to convince ourselves that even when we’re alone, we feel together. And then when we’re with each other, we put ourselves in situations where we are alone—constantly on our mobile devices. It’s what I call a perfect storm of confusion about what’s important in our human connections.”

What can’t be denied is that technology, whatever its faults, makes life a whole lot easier. It allows us to communicate with more people in less time and makes conversation simple. But it can also be seductive(具有诱惑性的), providing more stimulation than our natural lives. There are usually some unhealthy videos online which remove teenagers’ attention from their schoolwork. Besides, some online activities make people addicted, which occupied their daily life and affected their ability to form real-world relationships.“Technology can be more immediately satisfying than the labor of building an intimate relationship,” said one highschool student, “Every time I text, I start to have some happy feelings.”

But are any of those feelings equal to the kind we feel when engaged in real, face-to-face communication? Online, you can neglect others’ feelings. In a text message, you can avoid eye contact. A number of studies have found that this generation of teens is less sympathetic than ever. That doesn’t spell disaster, says Turkle—but，

1.From the first paragraph we can infer that_________.

A. email checking helps people wake up early

B. technological device production has been simplified

C. using technological devices costs teens much time

D. people communicate mainly by text-messaging now

2.Turkle’s new book mainly discussed________.

A. ways to draw a fascinating portrait

B. how technology influences human relationships

C. the dangers of accepting emotional connections

D. the advantages of technology

3.What worries Turkle most is that more and more people are_________.

A. starting to accept emotional connections in place of virtual connections

B. convincing themselves by using fewer lifeless objects in connections

C. dropping the use of technological devices for connection with each other

D.being affected by the shallow connections through the mobile devices

4.Which of the following is True according to the passage?

A. Others’ feelings can be ignored in online communication.

B. No stimulation is provided in natural life connections.

C. People always send text messages to avoid eye contact.

D. It may be a disaster that teens are less sympathetic than ever.

5.What is the main purpose of the passage?

A. To instruct people how to do with emails.

B. To stress the importance of technology.

C. To promote a wider use of technological devices.

D. To lead us to consider what’s important in human connections.

高三英语完形填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

How many times do you check your Facebook page in a day to see whether your latest post has got another “like” or “thumbs up”?

Although you might be embarrassed to admit how many times you do this, don’t worry —-- psychological findings have shown it’s completely normal. In fact, the pleasure we derive from receiving a “like” is equal to that of eating chocolate or winning money, and we can’t help wanting more. According to the findings, which observed 32 teens aged between 13 and 18, the feedback circuit in the teens’ brains is particularly sensitive, and the “social” and “visual” parts of their brains were active when they received “likes” on the social network. The research also showed that though the thumbs up might come from complete strangers, the good they derive from them worked all the same.

So, does it mean we should try our best to win as many thumbs up as possible? Not necessarily so if we know the reasons behind our desire for attention. In “why do people long for attention” by M. Farouk Radwan, he explained several cases in which people naturally longed for attention. Radwan said people who were an only child, who were used to being the center of attention in their house, may try to copy these conditions. Feeling “overlooked and unappreciated” might also lead you to long for attention. Other times, the state of being jealous or wanting to cover your mistakes may also contribute to such longings.

In fact, too much desire for attention can create anxiety, and in turn ruin your happiness even when you get it. So what can we do about it? The answer is quite simple. “If people could adopt goals not focused on their own self-esteem but on something larger than their self, such as what they can create or contribute to others, they would be less sensitive to some of the negative effects of pursuing self-esteem,” wrote psychology professor Jennifer Crocker.

So perhaps the answer to our addiction to “likes” is simply to focus on something larger than ourselves —-- a hard, but a worthy one.

1.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “derive” in Paragraph 2?

A. deliver　　 B. give

C. prevent　　 D. get

2.What’s the reaction of receiving “likes” on the social network to the brain?

A. The brain becomes more nervous.

B. Some parts of the brain are active.

C. The brain becomes less sensitive.

D. The brain becomes cleverer.

3.Who wants to get more attention according to the passage?

A. the only child.

B. The old who lives happily with children.

C. The young who feels anxious.

D. Teens who want to discover their mistakes.

4.What’s Crocker’s suggestion about the negative effects of getting self-esteem?

A. Doing an interesting matter.

B. Working harder than ever before.

C. Having a bigger goal than their self.

D. Not checking your Facebook page in a day.
