B．Surprised.C．Annoyed. D．Tired.C[詞義揣測題。依據(jù)畫線詞后面的“hecalledmysistertoexpresshisdissatisfactionthatIneverreturnedhisphonecalls”可知，作者的父親對作者不給自己回電話很不滿，由此可推知exasperated意思是“憤怒的，生氣的”，故選C。]6．Whydidn'tthewriterreplytohisfather?A．Helikedtextmessagesbetter.B．Heenjoyedcheckinghisvoicemail.C．Hedidn'treceiveanyvoicemailmessages.D．Hedidn'twanttotalkwithhisfather.A[推理推斷題。依據(jù)第五段最終一句“‘Whyareyouleavinghimvoicemail？’mysisterasked.‘Justtexthim.’”可推知，作者不喜愛用語音信箱，更偏愛發(fā)短信，故選A。]7．Whichofthefollowingdoesthewriteragreeto?A．Peopleneedn'tlearnfromoneanotherintraditionalsocieties.B．Dealingwithvoicemailshouldvarywitheachindividual.C．Peopleneedn'tturntoGoogleforhelpwhenintrouble.D．Declaringwhoyouareorsayinghellointextsisnecessary.B[推理推斷題。依據(jù)倒數(shù)其次段的內(nèi)容可推知，標(biāo)準(zhǔn)是改變的，處理方式應(yīng)當(dāng)因人而異，而不是一刀切，語音信箱的運(yùn)用亦是如此，故選B。]8．What'sthebesttitleforthispassage?A．Nowadays：whatshouldwedowithtextmessages?B．Nowadays：doyoulikeleavingothersavoicemessage?C．Nowadays：whatmeansshouldweuseincommunication?D．Nowadays：doyouneedathank-youmessage?C[標(biāo)題歸納題。依據(jù)對文章內(nèi)容的整體理解可知，第三段引入本文話題，最終兩段點(diǎn)題總結(jié)，本文主要探討的是如今(在智能手機(jī)時(shí)代)我們應(yīng)當(dāng)用何種方式進(jìn)行溝通，故選C項(xiàng)。]Ⅱ.讀后續(xù)寫閱讀下面材料，依據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。TheMeredithfamilylivedinasmallcommunity.Astheeconomywasindecline，somepeopleinthetownhadlosttheirjobs.Manyoftheirfamilieswerestrugglingtomakeendsmeet.Peopleweretryingtohelpeachothermeetthechallenges.Mrs.Meredithwasamostkindandthoughtfulwoman.Shespentagreatdealoftimevisitingthepoor.Sheknewtheyhadproblems，andtheyneededallkindsofhelp.Whenshehadtime，shewouldbringfoodandmedicinetothem.Onemorningshetoldherchildrenaboutafamilyshehadvisitedthedaybefore.Therewasamansickinbed，hiswife，whotookcareofhimandcouldnotgoouttowork，andtheirlittleboy.Thelittleboy—hisnamewasBernard—hadinterestedherverymuch.“Iwishyoucouldseehim，”shesaidtoherownchildren，John，Harry，andClara.“Heissuchahelptohismother.Hewantsverymuchtoearnsomemoney，butIdon'tseewhathecando.”Aftertheirmotherlefttheroom，thechildrensatthinkingaboutBernard.“Iwishwecouldhelphimtoearnmoney，”saidClara.“Hisfamilyissufferingsomuch.”“SodoI，”saidHarry.“Wereallyshoulddosomethingtoassistthem.”Forsomemoments，Johnsaidnothing，but，suddenly，hesprangtohisfeetandcried，“Ihaveagreatidea！Ihaveasolutionthatwecanallhelpaccomplish(完成)．”Theotherchildrenalsojumpedupallattention.WhenJohnhadanidea，itwassuretobeagoodone.“Itellyouwhatwecando，”saidJohn.“YouknowthatbigboxofcornUncleJohnsentus？Well，wecanmakepopcorn(爆米花)，andputitintopaperbags，andBernardcantakeitaroundtothehousesandsellit.”留意：1.續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；2．請按如下格式作答。Paragraph1：WhenMrs.MeredithheardofJohn'sidea，shethoughtitwasagoodone，too.Paragraph2：Witheverythingready，Bernardstartedoutonhisnewbusiness.
