Although this means that supply is better able to increase demand, now that the supply is quick and efficient, the demand might fall because mass production lowers the quality of the handicraft and it is difficult to find unique designs on each item.Nevertheless, we must not mit the mistake of analyzing progress only from one point of view.In fact, progress has allowed tradition to keep up.It is only with progress and the invention of new technology that many old products can be brought back to their old state.New technology is required for old products to stay old.It is peoples attitude towards progress that causes the type of influence that technology has on society.Technology is flexible.There is no fixed way of making use of it.Everything depends on peoples attitude.The worst effects of progress will fall on those who are unable to rethink their attitudes and views of society.When we accept progress and adapt it to suit our needs, a new “past” is created.语篇解读:科技的进步给我们带来了便捷的同时,也有一定的弊端。是人们的态度决定着科技对社会的进步起推进作用还是阻挠作用。5The underlined word “gadgets” in Para. 2 is closest in meaning to“_”AtoolsBmessagesCbarriersDskills解析:选A词义猜测题。根据第二段“such as mobile phones and ipads”可知gadgets为“工具”。6pared with homemade handicrafts, machinemade products_.Alack great accuracyBlack the personal touchCare of high valueDare quite wele解析:选B细节理解题。根据第三段“However,with the improvements in efficiency also es the loss of the personal touch when making these products.”可知选B。7What can be learned about technology from Paragraph 4?AIt can destroy old traditions.BIt can lead to social progress.CIt can be used to correct mistakes.DIt can be used to preserve old products.解析:选D推理判断题。根据第四段“It is only with progress and the invention of new technology that many old products can be brought back to their old state.”可知选D。8What can be concluded from the last paragraph?AProgress can suit the needs of daily life.BPeople review the past with great regret.CTechnology should be introduced in a fixed way.DPeoples attitude decides the use of technology.解析:选D段落大意题。最后一段第一句“It is peoples attitude towards progress that causes the type of influence that technology has on society.”是本段的主题句。
