21、“People are ruder today because they are rushed and more ‘time poor’ than ever before,” says Patsy Rowe, “ Manners have fallen off the radar(雷达).” Due to our strong attraction to electronic equipment, it is a wonder that more people don’t wake up each morning and greet the singing birds with complaining about the noise. Here are some examples of rudeness.
Some people prefer to do almost everything over the Internet. To them, dealing with an actual human is like an evolutionary step backward. It feels very slow because humans don’t work at 4G speeds. When you have dinner with friends, you will often notice someone paying more attention to his mobile phone. We have programmed ourselves to think that every new message brings life-changing news, so taking calls and checking our texts are more important than talking to the people we are with. What is worse, some people even tend to send anonymous(匿名的)rude messages by email.
However, rudeness is never acceptable. Don’t assume it is OK to be rude if the person you’re in touch with won’t recognize you. If you have something awful to say, have the courage to face the person and say it, write a letter or email and sign it, or forget it. Upsetting people with unsigned messages is cruel and disgusting.
We shouldn’t blame technology for our shortcomings. Technology is here to help us, but we should not allow it to take over our lives. An important step is acknowledging our shortcomings. People spend a lot of time pointing out bad manners but it would be even more helpful if we’d publicly acknowledge good manners when we see them.
【1】What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1?
A. People can tell good from bad behavior.
B. People care little about their behavior.
C. Radar is able to observe human behavior.
D. Radar can be used to predict human behavior.
【2】Some people are less willing to deal with humans because______.
A. they are becoming less patient
B. they are growing too independent
C. they have to handle many important messages
D. they have to follow an evolutionary step backward.
【3】The author thinks sending unsigned awful messages is ______.
A. Ridiculous B. acceptable
C. disgusting D. reasonable
【4】What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Technology can never be blamed
B. We should applaud good behavior.
C. We should keep pointing out mistakes.
D. Technology will take over lives one day.
22、Mohammed Ali Jinnah was born on 25 December 1876 in Karachi, now in Pakistan, but then part of British-controlled India. His father was a successful Muslim(穆斯林)businessman.
Jinnah studied at Bombay University and at Lincoln’s Inn in London. He then ran a successful legal practice in Bombay. He was already a member of the Indian National Congress(印度国大党), which was working for freedom from British rule, when he joined the Muslim League in 1913. The league had formed a few years earlier to stand for the interests of Indian Muslims in a predominantly(占主导地位的)Hindu country, and by 1916 he was elected its president.
In 1920, the Indian National Congress launched a movement of non-cooperation to be against British rule. Jinnah was against this policy and quit from the congress. There were by now serious differences between the congress and the Muslim League.
After provincial elections in 1937, the congress refused to come to power with the Muslim League in mixed areas. Relations between Hindus and Muslims began to deteriorate. In 1940, at a Muslim League meeting in Lahore, the first official demand was made for the separation of India and the creation of a Muslim state of Pakistan. Jinnah had always believed that Hindu-Muslim unity(联合)was possible, but unwillingly came to the view that separation was necessary to protect the rights of Indian Muslims.
His insistence on this point through negotiations(谈判)with the British government resulted in the separation of India and the formation of the state of Pakistan on 14 August 1947. This occurred against a background of widespread violence between Muslims, Hindus and Sikhs, and a vast movement of populations between the new states of Pakistan and India in which hundreds of thousands died. Jinnah became the first governor general of Pakistan, but died of a serious disease on 11 September 1948.

C.44.
D.47.
【2】What does the underlined word “deteriorate” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.Improve.
B.Worsen.
C.Change.
D.Develop.
【3】What’s Jinnah’s attitude towards the movement of non-cooperation?
A.Positive.
B.Uninterested.
C.Negative.
D.Doubtful.
【4】How is the text mainly developed?
A.By using examples.
B.By giving instructions.
C.By following time order.
D.By making comparisons.
