Gadgets for Work and Play
It’s 7:45 in the morning, and 26-year-old Steve Clarkson is going to work. He puts on his jacket, and picks up his mobile phone and laptop. As he leaves the house, he turns on his MP3 player and puts on his headphone. He is ready to go.
Today, for millions of people, gadgets like Clarkson’s are a normal part of life. “I’m a reporter for a magazine, and I’m usually not in the office. My mobile phone and laptop help me to do my work both on the road and at home,” says Clarkson. Today many people can check e-mails, send messages, or surf the Web, using their mobile phones.
Tina Fang is studying photography in New York City. “Some of these gadgets are expensive, but they can save your money in the long run, I have a digital camera. I can use it to take eighty pictures and shoot video (record an image onto video) at the same time. I listen to music on my MP3 player, and I can download and read books on it, too. I use the camera and MP3 for both learning and fun.”
It’s now 9:45. Steve Clarkson gets an e-mail from his 17-year-old sister. She has a gadget that lets her send e-mails, play games, and take notes. She is in class right now. “I e-mailed her back. I told her to stop playing, and pay attention,” laughs Clarkson. “These gadgets are fun, but sometimes they can distract (分散注意力) people, too.”
根據(jù)以上短文內(nèi)容，然后從每題所給的四個選項中選擇最佳選項。
1. What is Steve Clarkson?
A. A student. B. A reporter.
C. A businessman. D.A computer programmer.
2. Which of the following things is not a gadget?
A. A picture. B. A laptop.
C. An MP3 player. D. A mobile phone.
3. When his sister had lessons, Steve told her .
A. to pay no attention B. to e-mail him back right away
C. to stop playing games D. to listen to music on the MP3 player
【答案與解析】
1. 選B。根據(jù)第2段中的句子I’m a reporter for a magazine.可知，Steve Clarkson是一位reporter(記者)，故答案選B。
2. 選A。通讀全文，由短文內(nèi)容可知，mobile phone, laptop和MP3 player都是Clarkson的，而由第2段中的句子gadgets like Clarkson’s可推斷，mobile phone, laptop和MP3 player都是gadgets，而a picture并未在文中提到，故也可以說a picture不是a gadget。
3. 選C。由第4段中的I told her to stop playing, and pay attention.可知答案選C。
【 糾錯 】
