二、阅读理解
A
Parties and social gatherings no longer excite us the same way they once did. This is not due to a lack of desire to socialize, but the smartphone.
At parties, more people are on their smartphones than on their drinks. According to a recent International Data Corporation study, well over half of all Americans have a smartphone and reach for it the moment they wake up, keeping it in hand all day. In addition, too many people in society are using smartphones while driving and as a result, they get into car crashes. 34 percent of teenagers admit to texting while driving, and they confirm that text messaging is their number one driving interruption. People's attachment to their smartphones is unbelievably becoming more important than the
lives of themselves and others.
Just as drivers dismiss the importance of focusing while on the road, many people also fail to recognize the significance of human interaction. When with their friends, some people pointlessly check or send text messages in the presence of a friend, which sends a message to that friend: the person I am
texting is more important than you.
In addition, relying on our smartphones to make friends does not give us the same advantage as being able to make new friendships in the real world. Facetoface conversations will give us much stronger
communication skills in the long run.
As many people risk their lives and the lives of people around them just to send a text or mindlessly check their messages, smartphones are in many ways more dangerous to people. The quality of this technology is hindering social achievements and weakening the value of communication. Not only is the smartphone affecting our desire to interact (交流) facetoface, but it is also lowering society's ability to communicate.
这是一篇议论文。本文讲述了人们在参加聚会、开车的时候,也在用手机发短信,这极大地影响了人与人之间的交流,甚至导致事故的发生。

.
A. by using smartphones
B. in a facetoface way

.
A. parties and gatherings limit their social circle
B. people are more and more narrowminded

4

The park was

our camp.
Having survived that night, we were

that everything else would be all right. The next day we met with the people who ran the park. They explained our

That evening,
11
, we learned about the canyon
12
. They were strong and cold, rocking our little camping truck violently, and we lay

in the dark until the winds died away.

the weeks that followed, we learned to survive in our truck and
