37、 the Chinese style of teaching that I am accustomed to.Most of my classes are small, about a dozen people.Most students who frequently speak up are from Englishspeaking countries.Being shy and especially bored with confrontation (对抗), I am usually quiet.However, Im not the only one.In my corner of s

T

49、 that we are more connected in this world than ever before. 18 Few take the time to talk face to face. Instead of looking into the eyes of our loved ones, we stare at our screens.

52、h other nowadays.GWhen she left the room, I slowly walked over to the phone and stared at it for a while.语篇解读：本文作者描述了家中通信工具的变化，指出人们现在很少互相见面交流，并建议人们合理利用科技，创造更美好的生活。16选G根据空处前一句可知，作者对于妈妈能够和一个与她不在同一个房间的人说话感到很好奇，这吸引了作者。G项“当她离开房间的时候，我慢慢地走到电话那儿并盯着看了一会儿”符合文意，故选G项。17选A根据空后的“Later, we had mobile phones . Then

53、 came computers and smartphones. These days I can send an email”可知，作者阐述了随着时间的变化，家中的通信工具也发生了改变。A项“那是很久之前的事儿了”符合文意，故选A项。18选F根据空处所在的位置可知，空处为段落主题句。根据下文可知，本段主要讲述现在我们很少面对面交流了。F项“然而，令我感到担心的是，我们现在很少互相交流了”能很好地概括段意，故选F项。19选B根据上文可知，作者认为不能让科技占据我们太多的时间，摧毁我们的生活，我们应该花时间互相见面交流。B项“既要在网上联系也要在网络之外联系”符合文意，故选B项。20选E空处前一句提到我们来到这个世界是为了相互关爱，相互帮助，使世界变得更美好；后一句提到当科技不能(帮助你)做到这些时，就关掉它。所以空处应表示当科技能够帮助你做到这些时就使用它，故E项符合文意。
