题文
阅读理解。 Michael, a normal American, stays home on workdays. He plugs into his personal computer terminal inorder to connect with the office. After work he puts on his headphones, watches a movie on his home video
recorder or plays baseball on the computer. On many days, Michael doesn't talk to any other human beings,
and he doesn't see any people except the ones on television. Michael is imaginary, but his life style is very
possible. The inventions of modern technology seem to be cutting us off from communicating with our fellow
human beings.
The world of business is one area in which technology is separating us. Experts say, for example, that
many people will soon be able to work at home. With access to a large central computer, employees such as
office clerks, insurance agents, and accountants could do their job at display terminals in their own homes.
They would never have to actually see the people they're dealing with. Also, the way employees are paid will
change. Workers' salaries will be automatically paid into their bank accounts, making paper checks
unnecessary. No workers will stand in line to receive their pay or cash their checks. Personal banking will
change, too. Customers will deal with machines to put in or take out money from their accounts.
Another area in which technology is changing is entertainment. Music, for instance, was once a group
experience. People listened to music at concert halls or in small social gatherings. For many people now,
however, music is an individual experience. Walking along the street or sitting in their living rooms, they wear
headphones to build a wall of music around them. Movie entertainment is changing, too. Movies used to be
social events. Now, fewer people are going out to see a movie. Many more are choosing to wait for a film to
appear on television or are borrowing videotapes to watch at home. Instead of laughing with others, viewers
watch movies in their own living rooms. 1. The underlined sentence in the first paragraph means _____. [ ]A. Michael is a person full of imagination and his dreams can come true
B. Michael is not a real person but the life style does exist
C. Michael has ambitions but he can't make his dreams come true
D. Michael is full of imagination and his life style is common nowadays 2. What does the author discuss in the last paragraph? [ ]A. Technology is changing ways of entertainment.
B. People will never go to the concert in future.
C. How to borrow videotapes at home.
D. How to see a movie at home. 3. What is the main idea of the passage? [ ]A. We may no longer need to communicate with other people.
B. Modern technology seems to be separating people.
C. We may no longer need to work in the office.
D. Modern technology makes it possible for us to work at home. 题型：未知难度：其他题型

考点
据考高分专家说，试题“阅读理解。 Mich.....”主要考查你对 [日常生活类阅读 ]考点的理解。日常生活类阅读
日常生活类阅读的概念：
日常生活这一话题主要涉及人们衣食住行等方面的活动。这一话题的选材主要针对人们日常的工作，生活以及学习情况。做这一类题时，最主要的是要把握好人物的活动内容，时间和地点。
日常生活类阅读题答题技巧：
【题型说明】
该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小，追根溯源，探索各项风俗的历史渊源，内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主，如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松，试题做起来比较顺手，但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神，就会丢分。
【备考提醒】
为了保证较高准确率，建议同学们做好以下几点：
1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现，越是容易的试题，同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢？因为在这种情况下，同学们极易产生麻痹思想，认为题目好做，就不引起高度重视，于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点，设计陷阱题。所以，无论试题难易与否，我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易，不欣喜；试题难，不悲观。
2、根据前面讲到的方法，认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。
3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义，确定多义词或短语在文中的意思，确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象，或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子，切不可望文生义。
4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提，以具体事实为依据进行推理，做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接，只要弄清事实，即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
