四级阅读理解题训练答案
1.D 本文主要讲了电话的发展对人类生活与活动所产生的正负两方面的影响。
2.C 本题问及电话的作用。A项与原文意思相反,B、D两项虽然在文中提及,但仅仅是作者的猜测,还无法得到证实(not provably)。
3.B 本题问电话加深人们冲突的原因是什么。设题区在本文后半部分。真正的原因是,作为一种通讯工具,电话既可服务于好人,也可为坏人所利用,这样才使人们之间的冲突的加深成为可能。C项并不是加深冲突的真正原因,因为电话的便捷虽然使加深冲突有可能,但同时也为救人性命提供了便利。
4.C 答案依据在本文最后一句。该句的大意是,电话不偏不倚地传播着科学家的学问,无知者的胡言,仁者的善心,坏人的恶意。只有C项与原文意思最贴近。
5.D 作者的态度显然是客观而中立的。因为作者在文中对电话给人类带来的利弊都有所陈述。
