Question

9．Anna Schiferl hadn't even got out of bed when she reached for her cell phone and typed a text to her mum，one recent Saturday．Mom was right downstairs in the kitchen．The text？Anna wanted an egg for breakfast．Soon after，Joanna Schiferl called，"If you want to talk to me，Anna，come downstairs and see me？"Anna laughs about it now．"I was kind of being lazy，"she admits．
    These days，many people with cell phones prefer texting to a phone call．And that's creating a communication divide-the talker vs．the texters．Some would argue that it's no big deal．But many experts say the most successful communicators will，of course，have the competence to do both．And they fear that more of us are unable to have-or at least are avoiding-the traditional face-to-face conversations．
    Many professors say it is not common to see students outside of class．"I sit in my office hours lonely now because if my students have a question，they email me，often late at night，"says Rence Hosuton，a professor at the University of Puget Sound in Washington state．"And they never call．"
    As Anna sees it："There are people you'll text，but won't call．It's just a way to stay in touch with each other．"Some believe that scores of texts each day keep people more connected．"The problem is that conversation is not very deep，"says Joseph Grenny，co-author of the book Cultural Conversations：Tools for Talking When Stakes Are High．
"The problem has been there since we've had telephones-probably since the time of a telegraph，"Grenny says．Texting is just the latest way to do that．Though they may not always be so good at deep conversations themselves，Grenny suggests that parents model the behavior for their children and put down their own cell phones．He says that they also should set limits，as Anna's mom did when she made the"no texting to people in the same house"rule．

Answer 1

分析 文章通过一个例子引发手机短信给我们的生活带来了便捷，但同时也带来了一些问题，呼吁我们还是要面对面的沟通和交流．

解答 A C D C
28．A 细节题．根据第一段的描述If you want to talk to me，Anna，come downstairs and see me？"可知，Joanna对女儿要求是很严格的．
29．C 细节题．在文章的第三段 Many professors say it is not common to see students outside of class．可知，她的学生们都通过短信的方式进行问问题，很少面对面的交流．
30．D推理题．通过最后一段Though they may not always be so good at deep conversations themselves这句话得出Joseph Grenny认为还是要鼓励面对面的交流而不是通过手机短信．
31．C主旨大意．通过全文的介绍以及最后 一段专家的建议可知，Texting is just the latest way to do that．Though they may not always be so good at deep conversations themselves手机短信可能是最快的方式但不是最好的沟通方式．所以文章探讨手机短信所带来的一些问题．
