　　1．A.updated

　　B．received

　　C．shared

　　D．collected

　　答案　C

　　C．databases

　　D．monitors

　　答案　B

　　解析　我们能交谈、发短信、发电子邮件、聊天和写博客，除了能用手机做到之外，当然就是电脑(computer)了。

　　8．A.bent

　　B．hard

　　C．keen

　　D．dependent

　　答案　D

　　B．using

　　C．protecting

　　D．changing

　　答案　B

　　解析　在这种情况下，不使用(using)数字技术则使他们显得像旁观者、局外人。本处为动名词短语作主语。

　　解析　空格后提到的是那些不想被联系到的人，所以being reachable对他们来说自然就是一种负担(burden)。

　　13．A.slightly

　　B．hardly

　　C．merely

　　D．really

　　答案　D

　　解析　独处仍然是可能的自然是对那些真正(really)想要独处的人来说的。slightly稍微地，hardly几乎不，merely仅仅。

　　15．A.aspects

　　C．advantages

　　D．exceptions

　　答案　C

　　解析　由空格后的关键词as well as disadvantages可知，应填advantages(有利条件)。

　　B．excited

　　C．confused

　　D．amused

　　答案　A

　　解析　本段提到“被联系上”既有有利条件又有不利条件，上句“手机救了很多人的命”是有利条件，此处指不利条件，当人们被逼无奈回电话或回复信息时，他们会感到陷入困境。trapped陷入困境的，受到限制的。

　　18．A.turn

　　B．submit

　　C．object

　　D．reply

　　答案　D

　　解析　由上题解析可知此处表示“回复信息”。reply to为固定搭配，意为“回复”。

　　Ⅲ.阅读理解

　　Jimmy is an automotive mechanic，but he lost his job a few months ago.He has a good heart，but always feared applying for a new job.

　　Upon arrival，Jimmy found a long line of applicants waiting to be interviewed.Jimmy still had some grease on him after the car repair，but he did not have much time to wash it off or have a change of shirt.One by one，the applicants left the interviewer’s office with disappointed looks on their faces.Finally his name was called.The interviewer was sitting on a large chair facing the office window.Rocking the chair back and forth，he asked，“Do you really need to be interviewed？” Jimmy’s heart sank.“With the way I look now，how could I possibly pass this interview？” he thought to himself.

　　Then the interviewer turned the chair and to Jimmy’s surprise，it was the old man he helped earlier in the morning.It turned out he was the General Manager of the company.

　　“Sorry I had to keep you waiting，but I was pretty sure I made the right decision to have you as part of our workforce before you even stepped into this office.I just know you’d be a trustworthy worker.Congratulations！” Jimmy sat down and they shared a cup of well­deserved coffee as he landed himself a new job.(2017·山东，A)
