高一英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

Computers are very important to modern life. Many people think that in the future computers will be used in lots of everyday life. It is thought that we won’t have to go shopping because we will be able to get most things which are sold in shops on the Internet. There will be no more books because we will be able to get all texts from computers. The Internet will be used to play games, see films and buy food. Most telephone calls will be made by computers, too.

Some people are glad about these new ways of shopping and communicating. Others do not think that computers will replace our old ways.

Let’s look at books, for example. Some people think that one day we will not read books made of paper. Instead, we will buy and read books using computers. We will read texts on small pocket computers. The computers will keep many different books in them at the same time. We won’t need to turn lots of pages and paper will be saved. Computerized(计算机化) books will be used more and more.

Is Internet shopping such a pleasure as going to the shop? Many people say it is not. It is a pleasure to go into shops and look at things you want to buy. It is also unlikely that many people will want to read large texts on our computers. Because paper books will perhaps be more friendly. Maybe computers won’t change these two habits.

1.In paragraph(段落)1 it is thought people will use computers for _______.

A. playing games, shopping and making telephone calls

B. making telephone calls, having meals and seeing films

C. seeing films, buying food, and going for holidays

D. playing games, making telephone calls and seeing the doctor

2. Which reason for using computerized books is NOT said in the passage?

A. Computerized books won’t be very expensive.

B. Computers can keep many different books in them.

C. We won’t have lots of pages.

D. We won’t need any paper.

3.Paragraph 4 tells _______.

A. about the old and new ways of shopping and communicating

B. if the Internet will change our habits

C. about computerized books

D. about future uses of computers

4. The title for this passage is _______.

A. Computers will Replace Shops and Books      B. Computers will be Used a lot in the Future

5.According to the writer’s view, which is right?

B. Computers will not be used at all in our daily life in the future.

C. Computers will not be used in shopping in the future.

One of the biggest complaints in modern society is being over-scheduled. Ask people how they are and the answer usually is “super busy,” “crazy busy” . _______ is just “fine” any more.

When people aren’t super busy at _______, they are crazy busy exercising, entertaining or parenting.

Living in a modern society with more and more out-of-date but still useful computers, many people have to face such a troubling problem: How to deal with those old computers? Some old ones are put away in homes. Many more are just thrown out with the rubbish.

Don’t worry! Some companies are coming up with new ways to cut the number of old computers. Sony, Dell, Hewlett-Packard and other companies now agree to take back some old computers.

In some countries, there are laws about what to do with old computers. By law, computer companies will have to pay for collecting and recycling their used products. And 70% of computer waste must be recycled. The idea behind the laws is that computer companies themselves should pay the cost. That will encourage them to make computers that are easier and cheaper to repair and upgrade（升级）.

While many people are throwing away good computers, others cannot afford them at all. Hundreds of organizations（组织）are working to solve this problem. They collect and repair old computers before sending them to schools, charities（慈善团体）and people who need them. In this way, we can turn one person's rubbish into someone else's useful things-and cut down on waste.

1.What do many people do with old computers?

A．They sell them to others.

高一英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

Clearly if we are to participate in the society in which we live, we must communicate with other people. A great deal of communicating is performed on a person-to-person basis by the simple means of speech. If we travel in buses, buy things in shops, or eat in restaurants, we are likely to have conversations where we give information or opinions, receive news or comment, and very likely to have our views challenged by other members of society.

Face-to-face contact is by no means the only form of communication and during the last two hundred years the art of mass communication has become one of the dominating factors of contemporary society. Two things, above others, have caused the enormous growth of the communication industry. Firstly, inventiveness has led to advanced imprinting, telecommunications photography, radio and television. Secondly, speed has revolutionized the transmission(传输) and reception of communications so that local news often takes a back seat to national news, which itself is often almost eclipsed(侵蚀) by international news.

No longer is the possession of information confined to(只限于) a privileged minority. In the last century the wealthy man with his own library was indeed fortunate, but today there are public libraries. For years ago people used to flock to the cinema, but now far more people sit at home and turn on the TV to watch a programme that is being channeled into millions of homes.

Communication is no longer merely concerned with the transmission of information. The modern communication industry influences the way people live in society and broadens their horizons by allowing access to information, education and entertainment. The printing, broadcasting and advertising industries are all involved with informing, educating and entertaining.

Although a great deal of the material communicated by the mass media is very valuable to the individual and to the society of which he is part, the vast modern network of communications is open to abuse(滥用). However, the mass media are with us for better, for worse, and there is no turning back.

1.In the first paragraph, the writer emphasizes the ___________ of face-to-face contact in social setting.

A. nature　　　　 B. limitation　　　　 C. creativity　　　　 D. usefulness

2.It is implied in the passage that ______.

A. local news used to be the only source of information

B. local news still takes a significant place

C. national news is becoming more popular

D. international news is the fastest transmitted news

3.Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A. Possessing information used to be a privilege.

B. Public libraries have replaced the private completely.

C. Communication means more than transmission of information.

D. Information influences ways of life and thinking.

4.From the last paragraph we can infer that the writer is _________.

A. indifferent to the harmful influence of the mass media

B. happy about the flexible changes in the mass media

C. pessimistic about the future of the mass media

D. concerned about the wrong use of the mass media
