Ⅳ.阅读理解 A The world's oldest pen pals have both turned 100 after 84 years of transatlantic (横越大西洋的) letters. Geoff Banks from Honiton, Devon, UK and Celesta Byrne, from the US, started to write to each other when they were just 16 in 1938.They met as part of an educational project to put British and American students in contact and 84 years later they still keep contacting. Geoff once was a retired engineer.He said, “I can't quite remember how we could get in touch, but I was talking to Celesta recently.And I think it was something to do with an American school's plan.The plan matched us up with Americans for a pen pal relationship and somehow I ended up with this letter from an American girl, and we just kept contacting ever since.There were a couple of years when we tried very hard to keep in touch because of the war.Now of course she is poorly sighted, so I contact mainly by email to one of her daughters who lives nearby.Email is much easier for me these days too, because I can't write very well anymore.In the email, we just talk about our daily lives and our own families.She's always been there to write to, even if it was just birthday cards.” Though they have chatted for over 80 years, the pair has only ever met twice—their first meeting in 2002 while Geoff visited New York, and then two years later.Nowadays, Geoff is a great grandfather.He lives a happy life.He has three sons who settle across the world and many more grandchildren.“I have this new thing called Zoom.I think now it's time to chat with her, but I leave all the technology to younger people.They're much better at pressing all the buttons”． [语篇解读]　本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了世界上年龄最大的两位笔友的故事。八十多年前，美国的一个教育项目使英国的Geoff与美国的Celesta建立了笔友关系。八十多年来，他们一直通过书信、电子邮件或视频软件保持着联系。 2 3 1 4 1．What may bring Geoff and Celesta to be pen pals? A．An American school's plan. B．Geoff 's visit to New York. C.The world war. D．Communication technology. 答案：A 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“I can't quite remember how we could get in touch, but I was talking to Celesta recently.And I think it was something to do with an American school's plan.The plan matched us up with Americans for a pen pal relationship ”可知，一所美国学校的计划让Geoff和Celesta成为笔友。故选A。 2 3 1 4 2．Why did Geoff use email to write letters later? A．Because he relied on Zoom to chat. B．Because he suffered from eye diseases. C．Because he was unable to write well. D．Because writing is too boring for him. 答案：C 2 3 1 4 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Now of course she is poorly sighted, so I contact mainly by email to one of her daughters who lives nearby.Email is much easier for me these days too, because I can't write very well anymore.”可知， Geoff后来改用电子邮件是因为他写不好字了。故选C。 2 3 1 4 3．What can we infer from the text? A．Pen pals are true friends. B．True friendship survives time and space. C．Letters were not allowed during the war. D．Technology builds friendship. 答案：B 2 3 1 4 推理判断题。根据第一段“The world's oldest pen pals have both turned 100 after 84 years of transatlantic letters.”和第三段中的“There were a couple of years when we tried very hard to keep in touch because of the war.Now of course she is poorly sighted, so I contact mainly by email to one of her daughters who lives nearby.Email is much easier for me these days too, because I can't write very well anymore.”可推知，Geoff与Celesta跨越 80 多年的笔友情谊，纵然有战争，纵然有健康原因，他们之间依然保持着联系。由此推断，真正的友谊超越时空。故选B。 2 3 1 4 4．What does the text mainly talk about? A．A Zoom：a new technology to chat. B．A great way to keep in touch. C．Importance of being pen pals. D．Oldest pen pals in the world. 答案：D 2 3 1 4 主旨大意题。根据第一段“The world's oldest pen pals have both turned 100 after 84 years of transatlantic letters.(世界上最老的笔友在经历了84年的跨大西洋书信往来后，双双迎来了100岁生日)”以及全文可知，文章主要讲述了世界上年龄最大的两位笔友的故事。故选D。 2 3 1 4 B When Senait Lara, a 28-year-old video producer, was questioned by her friends about her lack of communication in their group chat, the blames were as follows: she only caught up every few days; when she did, it was hardly an interaction—Lara spent time “liking” messages instead of responding with words and sometimes she would never respond at all. Lara didn't deny it. She knew she sometimes preferred to completely avoid her phone rather than deal with a large number of requests. Actually, in person, Lara felt comfortable talking with people, but when communication came down to a text message or an email, she wanted to tap out. While social media and messaging apps keep us more connected to each other, many younger users are finding themselves tired out from receiving constant notices and carrying on conversations that can last all day. The after-effect? Delayed responses, forgetting to get back to someone entirely, and a need for frequent breaks. In fact, a 2023 study exploring the effects of information overload and online conversation dynamics (动态) found that “over-exposure to information can suppress the possibility of response by overloading users.” Smartphones have quickly changed into handheld storage units for our conversations, thoughts, music and everything else. That shift to feeling constantly attached to our phones as if they were a limb relates to the burnout, says psychologist Emily Balcetis. As the pressure to be online and always available continues to grow in our society, in-person interactions provide far more real communication than digital ones. From body language to eye contact and all the other social clues that exist in real life that aren't available in a text message, it's far easier to be present when you're face-to-face. As Balcetis notes, “At the end of the day, I think what we're looking for is not more ways to stay connected, but higher quality ways to be connected.” [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了数字时代中年轻人因社交媒体和即时通信应用产生的交流疲劳现象，以及面对面交流相较于数字交流的优势。 5 6 7 8 5．What dissatisfied Senait Lara's friends? A．Lara denying her problems. B．Lara avoiding using her phone. C．Lara's preference for digital communication. D．Lara's communication style in the group chat. 答案：D 细节理解题。根据第一段的“...she only caught up every few days; when she did, it was hardly an interaction—Lara spent time ‘liking’ messages instead of responding with words and sometimes she would never respond at all.”可知，Lara的朋友对她不满是因为她在群聊中的沟通方式，比如几天才参与一次，且多通过点赞而非文字回复，有时甚至完全不回应。故选D。 5 6 7 8 6．What does paragraph 2 tell us about many young people? A．They are starting to have memory problems. B．They refuse to put down their smartphones. C．They are tired of frequent digital contact. D．They feel more connected to each other. 答案：C 5 6 7 8 细节理解题。根据第二段的“While social media and messaging apps keep us more connected to each other, many younger users are finding themselves tired out from receiving constant notices and carrying on conversations that can last all day.”可知，很多年轻人对频繁的数字化联系感到厌倦。故选C。 5 6 7 8 7．What does the last paragraph mainly stress? A．The need to take a break from digital devices. B．The pressure of always being available online. C.The importance of face-to-face communication. D．The ability to understand clues behind text messages. 答案：C 5 6 7 8 段落大意题。根据最后一段的“From body language to eye contact and all the other social clues that exist in real life that aren't available in a text message, it's far easier to be present when you're face-to-face.”可知，最后一段介绍了面对面交流相比于数字交流的优势，如肢体语言、眼神交流等，所以他强调了面对面交流的重要性。故选C。 5 6 7 8 8．What is the author's attitude to digital interaction? A．Negative.　　　　　 B．Unconcerned. C．Supportive. D．Objective. 答案：A 5 6 7 8 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“As the pressure to be online and always available continues to grow in our society, in-person interactions provide far more real communication than digital ones.”以及全文可知，作者描述了数字交流带来的疲劳感、压力以及面对面交流的诸多好处，暗示了作者对数字交流持消极的态度。故选A。 5 6 7 8 $$
