When almost everyone has a mobile phone,why are more than half of Australian homes still paying for a landline(座机)
These days you'd be hard pressed to find anyone in Australia over the age of 15 who doesn't own a mobile phone. In fact plenty of younger kids have one in their pocket. Practically everyone can make and receive calls anywhere, anytime.
Still, 55 percent of Australians have a landline phone at home and only just over a quarter (29%) rely only on their smartphones, according to a survey(调查). Of those Australians who still have a landline, a third concede that it's not really necessary and they're keeping it as a security blanket—19 percent say they never use it while a further 13 percent keep it in case of emergencies. I think my home falls into that category.
More than half of Australian homes are still choosing to stick with their home phone. Age is naturally a factor(因素)—only 58 percent of Generation Ys still use landlines now and then, compared to 84 percent of Baby Boomers who've perhaps had the same home number for 50 years. Age isn't the only factor; I'd say it's also to do with the makeup of your household.
Generation Xers with young families, like my wife and I, can still find it convenient to have a home phone rather than providing a mobile phone for every family member. That said, to be honest the only people who ever ring our home phone are our Baby Boomers parents, to the point where we play a game and guess who is calling before we pick up the phone (using Caller ID would take the fun out of it).
How attached are you to your landline How long until they go the way of gas street lamps and morning milk deliveries
1.What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about mobile phones
A.Their target users. B.Their wide popularity.
C.Their major functions. D.Their complex design.
2.What does the underlined word “concede” in paragraph 3 mean
A.Admit. B.Argue. C.Remember. D.Remark.
3.What can we say about Baby Boomers
A.They like smartphone games.
B.They enjoy guessing callers' identity.
C.They keep using landline phones.
D.They are attached to their family.
4.What can be inferred about the landline from the last paragraph
A.It remains a family necessity.
B.It will fall out of use some day.
C.It may increase daily expenses.
D.It is as important as the gas light.

五年高考练
Ⅰ.◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了在几乎人人都有手机的今天,为什么超过一半的澳大利亚家庭仍然保留着座机。
1.B 主旨大意题。第二段第一句说到如今,在澳大利亚你很难发现15岁以上的人没有手机,再根据第二段中的关键信息“plenty of younger kids have one”和“everyone can make and receive calls”可知,第二段主要告诉我们手机非常流行。故选B。
2.A 词义猜测题。根据画线词所在的句子可知,三分之一拥有座机的澳大利亚人不会把它当作一种必需品,而是把它当作一种安全保障,19%的人说永远不会使用它,另有13%的人保留座机是为了预防紧急情况。由此推断画线词的意思为“承认”。故选A。
3.C 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“84 percent of Baby Boomers who've perhaps had the same home number for 50 years”可知,84%的婴儿潮一代可能50年来都拥有相同的家庭号码,由此推断他们保留着使用座机的习惯。故选C。
4.B 推理判断题。 最后一段最后一句说到,还有多久座机就会重蹈街道的煤气路灯和早晨送牛奶服务的覆辙呢 作者用街道的煤气路灯和早晨送牛奶服务的例子暗示座机将来会被淘汰。故选B。

长难句
原句 Of those Australians who still have a landline, a third concede that it's not really necessary and they're
keeping it as a security blanket—19 percent say they never use it while a further 13 percent keep it in case of emergencies.
分析 who引导定语从句,修饰先行词Australians;that引导宾语从句,作concede的宾语;they never use it是省略了that的宾语从句;while意为“而,然而”,连接两个并列的分句。
译文 在那些仍然使用座机的澳大利亚人中,三分之一的人承认它并不是真的必要的,他们把它作为一种安全保障——19%的人表示他们从未使用过它,而另有13%的人保留它以应对紧急情况。
Ⅱ.◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了北京胡同的意义、历史及文化内涵。
1.and 考查连词。分析句子可知,设空处连接并列的谓语planned和arranged,应用并列连词连接。故填and。
2.originally 考查副词。设空处修饰meaning,应用副词作状语。故填originally。
3.surrounded 考查动词-ed形式。分析句子可知,设空处修饰名词短语the Forbidden City,两者之间是逻辑上的被动关系,应用动词-ed形式。故填surrounded。
4.were permitted 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。设空处在句中作谓语,根据上下文可知此处描述过去的情况,应用一般过去时;提示词permit和句子主语Citizens of higher social classes之间是被动关系,应用被动语态;主语是复数,助动词应用were。故填were permitted。
5.featured 考查动词的时态。设空处在句中作谓语,根据上下文可知此处描述过去的情况,应用一般过去时。故填featured。
6.spacious 考查形容词。设空处修饰名词homes,应用形容词作定语。故填spacious。

8.as 考查介词。根据语境可知,此处指“作为中国的首都”,as表示“作为”。故填as。
9.events 考查名词复数。根据设空处前面的形容词historic可知,设空处应用名词;event为可数名词,前面没有限定词,应用其复数形式。故填events。
10.the 考查冠词。根据名词culture后面的介词短语of grassroots Beijingers可知,此处culture表示特指,应用定冠词修饰。故填the。
