Unit 20 New Frontiers
(时间:100分钟 满分:120分)
第一部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分40分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项.
A
Everyone looks forward to progress,whether in one’s personal life or in the general society。Progress indicates a person’s ability to change the way he is living at the moment.Progress must lead to a better life and a better way of doing things.All these,however,remain true only in so far as people want to accept technology and move forward by finding new and more efficient ways of doing things。
However,at the back of the minds of many people,especially those who miss the “good old days”,efficiency comes with a price。When communication becomes more efficient,people are able to contact one another no matter where they are and at whatever time they wish to.The click of a button allows people miles apart to talk or see each other without even leaving their homes。With the communication gadgets,such as mobile phones and ipads,people often do not take the effort to visit one another personally.A personal visit carries with it the additional feature of having to be in the person’s presence for as long as the visit lasts.We cannot unnecessarily excuse ourselves or turn the other person off。
With efficiency also comes mass production.Such is the nature of factories and the success of industrialization today。Factories have improved efficiency.Unskillful tasks are left to machines and products are better made and produced with greater

accuracy than any human hand could ever have done。However,with the improvements in efficiency also comes the loss of the personal touch when making these products.For example,many handicrafts(手工艺品) are now produced in a factory.Although this means that supply is better able to increase demand,now that the supply is quick and efficient,the demand might fall because mass production lowers the quality of the handicraft and it is difficult to find unique designs on each item。
Nevertheless,we must not commit the mistake of analyzing progress only from one point of view。In fact,progress has allowed tradition to keep up。It is only with progress and the invention of new technology that many old products can be brought back to their old state。New technology is required for old products to stay old.
It is people's attitude towards progress that causes the type of influence that technology has on society。Technology is flexible.There is no fixed way of making use of it.Everything depends on people’s attitude.The worst effects of progress will fall on those who are unable to rethink their attitudes and views of society。When we accept progress and adapt it to suit our needs,a new “past” is created。
1According to Paragraph 1,progress can benefit people when they are willing to 。
A.live a better life B。look for better methods C。change ways of living
D。accept technology and advance steadily
解析细节理解题。从第一段最后一句可知,然而只有在人们接受技术并且找到新的、更有效的做事方法而不断前进的时候,“进步”才使人们真正地获益,故选D项。
