处表示信息是被共享的。故选C项。2．C根据上下无奈语境，一旦被放弃孤独是很难发现的。once意为“一旦”，符合语境。though意为“尽管”；until意为“直到”；before意为“在……之前”。都不符合题意。3．B根据上下文，句意：在这方面，新技术塑造着我们的未来。respect意为“尊重”；shape意为“塑造，使成形”；ignore意为“忽视”；preserve意为“保护”。根据语境可知，应选B项。4．C根据本句中的connect（连接）可知，此处表示终止孤独。end意为“结束，终止”，符合语境。5．D根据后半句“andconnectionsthatonecanoftenbecontacted41they'drathernotbe.人们能够经常被联系”可知，在网络连接世界中，人们已经变得如此地可达到。reachable意为“可达到的，可获得的”，符合语境。9\n6．A根据上下文，可推知，在网络连接世界中，人们已经变得如此地可达到以致即使不愿意被联系，也可能经常被联系。根据语境可知，应选A项。evenif意为“即使”；onlyif意为“只要”；asif意为“似乎”；ifonly意为“要是……该多好”。7．B根据上文中的network可知，交谈、发短信、法电子邮件等等应与电脑有关。8．D根据后半句“they’vegrownaccustomedtoit”可知，许多发达国家已经依赖于数码技术。dependent(on)意为“依靠的”，符合语境。bent(on)意为“决心的”；hard（on）意为“严厉的”；keen(on)意为“爱好，喜欢”。9．B根据前半句“Mostdevelopednationshavebecome43ondigitaltechnologysimplybecausethey'vegrownaccustomedtoit,”可知，此处意为：不使用它会让他们成为局外人。10．A此处表示进一步陈述人们与新技术的联系。故选A项。11．A许多工作和职业需要人们被联系。根据上下文多次提到connect和contact可知，应选A项。12．C根据后半句“maynotwanttobeabletobecontactedatalltimes”可知，经常被联系是一种负担。A项意为“愉悦”；benefit意为“利益”；disappointment意为“失望”，均与语境不符。故选C项。13．D独处对于真正想要独处的人来说仍然是可能的。slightly意为“稍微”；hardly意为“几乎不”；merely意为“仅仅”；really意为“真正地”。really符合语境。14．B根据后半句中的“turnoff”可知，此处应为意义一致的短语，shutdown意为“关闭”，符合语境。shutout意为“关在外面，遮住”；shutup意为“住口”；shutin意为“关进”。15．C根据disadvantages可知这句的句意，“除了劣势之外，还有很多优势”。故选C项。16．B根据后半句“mobilephoneshavesavedcountlesslives.”，可知此处指旅游者在山上迷路了。故选B项。17．A根据本句中的“force和unwanted”可知，手机还使人们人感到困窘（trapped），被迫回答不必要的电话或者回复不必要的短信。excited意为“兴奋的”；confused意为“混乱的，困惑的，糊涂的”；amused意为“愉快的”。18．D根据上一题的解析可知，此处为回复短信。turnto意为“转向；求助于”，submitto意为“提交；服从”；objectto意为“反对”，均与语境不符。故选D项。19．A根据下文，说到人们对现在的技术的态度可知，态度在不同时代有所变化。vary意为“变化，改变”，符合语境。arise意为“出现”；spread意为“传播”；exist意为“存在”。20．D根据上下文，句意：如果没有每日的技术进步，难以想象生活会是什么样。根据本句宾语从句中所用的虚拟语气可知，应选without，意为“没有”。beyond意为“超过，超越”；within意为“在……之内”；despite意为“尽管”。21.B。根据第二段的“IntraditionalChinesemedicine,doctorsdrawconclusionsaboutthehealthstateofapatientbasedonthesmellofhisorher9\nbreath”可以得此答案。文中虽然提到交警使用呼气检测法，但没有对比交警和医生对该方法的使用情况，A有误。虽然提到一些动物能根据人的呼气检测到一些疾病，但是没有说动物能比医疗设备做的更好，所以C也不对。第五段后面说每个人的呼气都是独一无二的，变化也不大，所以也能排除D。22.B。根据第三段可以得出d正确，根据第四段的第一句话可以得出be正确，所以B为正确答案。23.C。从最后一段的“breath-testinginstrumentshavetobeimprovedfirst”可以得此答案。24-27:ABDC【日常生活类—夹斜夹议;文章大意】本文主要介绍作者讲述在自己教学生涯中，在文学课上，如何教学生文学阅读的亲身体验，可以美化他们的心灵。28.D句意理解题。这句话运用了明喻和暗喻的修辞手法，“一本书就是能融化我们冰冻着的内心的一把斧子”，这是表面意思，即指一本书能够唤醒我们内心深处的情感，引起共鸣之意。故选D项。29.C细节理解题。根据第四段“Thedaughterofimmigrants,withafatherinprison,sheperhapsfeltuncomfortablewithhernewclassmates”可知C项正确。30.A推理判断题。根据第五段第四句“IhaveneverbeforeseentheparallelsbetweenScarfaceandMacbeth,norhadIheardLadyMacbeth’ssoliloquiesreadasraps,butbothmadesense;theinterpretationswereplayful,butserious.”可推断作者对孩子阅读小说的创造力感到惊讶，字里行间流露出自豪，故A项正确。31.B主旨大意题。纵观全文，主要介绍了作者讲述在自己教学生涯中，教学生文学阅读的亲身体验，故B项正确。32-35:ABCD9
