To know more about the events you can ________.A. phone the CenterB. log in and start automaticallyC. sign up at the websitesD. search the relevant websitesBIf your in-box is currently reporting unread messages in the hundreds or thousands, you might have a hard time believing the news: e-mail is on the decline.At first thought, that might seem to be the case. The incoming generation, after all, doesn’t do e-mail. Oh, they might have an account. They use it only as we would use a fax machine: as a means to communicate with old-school folks like their parents or to fulfill the sign-up requirements of Web sites. They rarely check it, though.Today’s instant electronic memos—such as texting and Facebook and Twitter messages—are more direct, more concentrated, more efficient. They go without the salutation(称呼语) and the signoff(签收); we already know the “to” and “from.” Many corporations are moving to messaging networks for exactly that reason: more signal, less noise and less time. This trend is further evidence that store-and-forward systems such as e-mail and voicemail are outdated. Instead of my leaving you a lengthy message that you pick up later, I can now send you an easily-read message that you can read—and respond to—on the go.The coming of the mobile era is responsible for the decline of e-mail. Instant written messages bring great convince to people. They can deal with them at about any time: before a movie, in a taxi, waiting for lunch. And because these messages are very brief, they’re suitable for smart phone typing.Does this mean e-mail is on its way to the dustbin of digital history? Not necessarily. E-mail still has certain advantages. On the other hand, tweets and texts feel ephemeral—you read them, then they’re gone, into an endless string, e-mail still feels like something you have and tha t you can file, search and return to later. It’s easy to imagine that it will continue to feel more appropriate for formal communications: agreements, important new sand longer explanations.So, e-mail won’t go away completely. Remember, we’ve been through a transition (过度) like this not so long ago: when e-mail was on the rise, people said that postal mail was dead. That’s not how it works. Postal mail found its smaller market, and so will e-mail. New technology rarely replaces old one completely; it just adds new alternatives.4. What would the incoming generation like to do with their e-mail accounts?A. Contact close friends.B. Send long messages.C. Fill in some forms.D. Communicate with their colleagues.5. Which of the following is mainly discussed in paragraphs 3 and 4?A. The possible reasons behind the decline of e-mail.B. The likes and dislikes of the young generation.C. The rapid development of e-communication channels.D. Evidence about the uncertain future of easily-consumed messages.6. What does the underlined word “ephemeral” in paragraph 5 mean?A. Automatically-sending.B. Randomly-written.C. Hardly- recognized.D. Shortly-appearing.7. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A. It’s too early to determine the decline of e-mail.B. E-mail has reasons to exist on its own advantages.C. E-mail, just like postal mail has come to its end.D. We should feel sorry for the decline of e-mail.CTime talks. It speaks more plainly than words. Time communicates in many ways.Consider the different parts of the day, for example. The day when something is done can give a special meaning to the event. Factory managers in the United States fully realize the importance of an announcement made during the middle of the morning or afternoon that takes everyone away from his work.In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very urgent and requires immediate attention. It is the same with telephone calls made after 11:00pm. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he probably thinks it is a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.The meanings of time differ in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstanding arises between people from cultures that treat time differently. In the United States, people tend to think of time as something fixed in nature, something from which one cannot escape. As a rule, Americans think of time as a road into the future, along which one progresses. The road has many sections, which are to be kept separate “one thing at a time”. Thus, an American may f eel angry when he has made an appointment with someone and then finds a lot of other things happening at the same time.Americans look ahead and are concerned almost entirely with the future. The American idea of the future is limited, however. It is the foreseeable future and not the future of involving many centuries.Since time has much different meanings in different cultures, communication is often difficult. We will understand each other a little better if we can keep this fact in mind.8. According to the passage, an announcement made during the day in a factory mustbe very important because ______.A. it interrupts the work of all employeesB. it is made by the managerC. it makes everyone lose his jobD. it communicates in many ways9. In the United States, a phone call made after 11:00p.m. is considered ______, in theview of the writer.A. as important as one made in the early morningB. impolite since it disturbs the receiver’s sleepC. to be a threat to the receiver’s lifeD. even more urgent than one made early in the morning.10. The expression “the foreseeable future” means _______.A.the future which involves centuriesB. B. the future that one looks forward toC. the future that will not be far awayD. the future toward which one makes progress11. The writer concludes that people of different countries will understand each otherbetter if ________.A. they keep in mind that different cultures treat time differentlyB. they are concerned with the futureC. they learn the way time communicatesD. they know how to communicate with each otherDProduced by Hunan Satellite TV, Where Are We Going, Dad? invites five male celebrities from different fields and their children to spend quality time together in new environments while accomplishing various survival tasks.Since it first aired in January,2013, Where Are We Going, Dad? has been sweeping the whole nation and has become China’s most popular show, averaging more than 600 million viewers each week and 640 million downloads online. Even the China Daily, the official mouthpiece of the Chinese government praised its success, “The deep affection on display in the show is heart-warming.”But what accounts for the show’s popularity?Part of the appeal is the chance to peek into the lives of popular Chinese celebrities and their children. Audiences are delighted to watch the failed attempts of celebrity dads making dinner, combing hair, and disciplining children. At the same time, the cute kids themselves and their authentic and entertaining behaviors are very impressive and attractive.“Another reason for the success of the show lies in the fact that it is a reexamination of the father's role in traditional Chinese culture,” said the general director of the show. In a society still influenced by the concept that “men rule outside and women inside.”, many Chinese fathers are poor at expressing their feelings toward their children. Usually, they appear strict and distant. But on the show, we see fathers are much gentler on their kids and more involved in their upbringing. This show raises an important question for modern Chinese society—what is the role of fathers in today’s China?A fascinating part of the show is that you can see many parenting styles. The five fathers on the show all have very diverse parenting styles, which is great because it shows people there isn’t just one way to raise a child.But Chinese parents increasingly realize that discussing and respecting their children’s choices may be a more appropriate way to prepare them for modern society. Meanwhile, the show can remind adults of their own childhood and the love of father. For those parents, they will rethink their own responsibility as parents and understand their kids better.12. The chief function of the underlined sentence (in Paragraph 2) is _____.A. to sum up the main idea of the paragraphB. to introduce a new topicC. to arouse reader’s interestD. to express strong feelings13. What can be inferred from the fourth paragraph?A. Traditionally, children are left to be brought up by mothers alone in China.B. Modern Chinese fathers wonder how to treat their children.C. The role of fathers is changing in China.D. More and more mothers go out to work.14. Which of the following is NOT the reason for the show’s success?A. People are curious about celebrities’ life and their kids.B. The show makes people reconsider father’s role in today’s China.C. The show displays various parenting styles.D. The audience think highly of the celebrities’ parenting styles on the show.15. What is the best title of the passage?A. Why is Where Are We Going, Dad So Popular?B. The Great Success of Where Are We Going, Dad?C. What is the Role of Fathers in Today’s China?D. Various Parenting Styles in China第二节（共5小题；每小题2分；满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项；选项中有两项为多余选项。
