With the development of science and technology, new inventions, especially new electronic products, have made people’s lives easy and convenient. But as the saying puts: A coin has two sides.

One day, I was walking in the park with a friend and his cell phone rang, interrupting our conversation. There we were, walking and talking on a beautiful sunny day and…I became invisible, absent from the conversation.　　

The telephone used to connect you to the absent. Now it makes people sitting next to you feel absent. Why is it that the more connected we get, the more disconnected I feel? Every advance in communications technology is a tragedy to the closeness of human interaction. With email and instant messaging over the Internet, we can now communicate without seeing or talking to one another. With voice mail, you can conduct entire conversations without ever reaching anyone. If my mom has a question, I just leave the answer on her machine.

As almost every contact we can imagine between human beings gets automated, the alienation(疏远) index goes up. You can't even call a person to get the phone number of another person any more. Directory assistance is almost always fully automated.

Pumping petrol at the station? Why say good morning to the attendant when you can swipe(刷)your credit card at the pump and save yourself the bother of human contact?

Making a deposit at the bank? Why talk to a teller who might live in the neighborhood when you can just insert your card into ATM?

Pretty soon you won’t have the burden of making eye contact at the grocery shop. Some supermarket chains are using a self-scanner so you can check yourself out, avoiding those check-out people who look at you and ask how you are doing.

I am not against modern technology. I own a cell phone, an ATM card, a voice mail system, and an email account. Giving them up isn't wise…they're a great help to us. It's some of their possible consequences that make me feel uneasy.

More and more, I find myself hiding behind e-mail to do a job meant for conversation. Or being relieved that voice mail picked up a call because I didn't really have time to talk. The communications industry devoted to helping me keep in touch is making me lonelier.

So I've put myself on technology restriction: no instant messaging, with people who live near me，no cell phoning in the presence of friends, no letting the voice mail pick up when I'm at home.

1. Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?　　

A. The Advance（进步） of Communications Technology

B. The Consequences（结果） of Modern Technology

C. The Process of Communications Revolution

D. The Automation（自动化） of Modern Communications

2. Paragraphs 5 to 7 are listed as examples, which show that the use of modern communications is ___________.

A. encouraging　　　 B. disappointing

C. satisfying　　 　 D. embarrassing

3. The passage implies（暗示） that _______________.

A. modern technology is bridging the people

B. modern technology is separating the people

C. modern technology is developing too rapidly

D. modern technology is interrupting our lives

4. What does the writer think to do with the modern technology?

A. We may use them no matter what others are doing.

B. We can throw them away and return to the ancient.

C. We can be far away from them forever.

D. We can use them less and communicate with the people around us.

高一英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

With the development of technology, more and more small electronic devices have been replaced by smart phones. Media channels, including newspapers, magazines and television shows, are also suffering. So who cares if people watch less regular TV or read fewer printed publications?

The answer is: advertisers. With all the traditional channels disappearing, how are advertisers supposed to reach customers? Banner (横幅) ads on our devices are ugly and disturbing. To overcome various digital problems, the ad industry has been serving up a sneaky (鬼鬼祟祟) solution: make ads look less like ads and more like the articles, videos and posts around them. An ad that matches the typeface, design and layout of the real article feels less like a tacky intrusion (俗气的入侵).

This trend, called native advertising, has taken over the Internet; even the Websites such as NYTimes.com and Wall-Street.com are using it. Social media companies have signed on to it as well. On Facebook and Twitter, every 10th item or so is an ad; only the small subtitle “Sponsored (赞助)” appearing in light gray type tells you which posts are ads.

Overall, native ads have been a huge success. On NYTimes.com, readers spend as much time on the ads as on the articles. But won’t dressing up ads to make them look like reported articles mislead people? Sometimes, yes. An Interactive Advertising Bureau study found that only 41 percent of general news readers could tell such ads apart from real news stories. And it’s getting worse. Advertisers worry that the “Sponsored” label discourages readers from clicking, so some Websites are making the labels smaller and less noticeable. Sometimes the labels disappear entirely.

At a recent talk about the difficulty of advertising in the new, small-screen world, I heard an ad manager tell an impressive story. She had gotten a musical performance — paid for by her soft drink client — perfectly inserted (插入) into a TV awards show, without any moment of blackness before or after. “It looked just like part of the real broadcast!” she recounted happily.

But how, then, could viewers tell the ad from the independently produced material? A participant rolled his eyes. “People are clever. They know!” he responded.

Look, it is great that native advertising works — publications and programs and free social networks have to stay solvent (有偿付能力的) somehow. But if advertisers truly believe in their material, they should have no problem labeling it as advertising.

For now native ads continue to be a fashion — with no laws governing them and no labeling standard. But that could change; the Federal Trade Commission has begun considering regulation. If the new generation of digital advertisers clean up their act according to the regulation, native ads might become more acceptable.

1.What can we learn about native ads according to the passage?

A. They have overcome the problems of banner ads.

B. They are clearly labelled as ads in Websites.

C. They are a special type of articles.

D. They are used by all Websites.

2.The ad manager’s story in Paragraph 5 is used to show _____.

A. it’s difficult to advertise in the small-screen world

B. it’s difficult to tell native ads from what they have been inserted in

C. it’s easy to insert ads into a TV awards show

D. it’s easy to deal with the “sponsored” label

3.In the author’s view, the future of native ads is _____.

A. bright　　 B. discouraging

C. uncertain　　 D. time-dependent

4.What is the passage mainly about?

A. How to advertise in the digital age.

B. Difficulties facing native ads.

C. Truth in digital advertising.

D. What native ads are.
