Technology is everywhere. We see it any place we go and， in fact， almost all of us carry some piece oftechnology with us every time we leave the house. What I always forget， though， is just how useful andpowerful technology can be when we want to help others

　　There is not a single room in my house that does not have some electronic devices(設備) lying around init. Whenever I am at home， I am almost always using at least one electronic device. If you walked into myliving room on any given day， you would find that， first， I have the television on. At the same time， I usuallyhave my laptop resting on my knee， or I will be using my mobile phone， Even when i'm not at home I amalways using my phone， and at work or in cafes， I sit down and connect to the local wireless network on myipcop.

　　I must say that I waste a lot of time on the computer and the time I spend on it could be much betterspent if I were to take up a little online volunteering

　　The technology we carry about everywhere can have a great power to do good for the world and to helpothers and recently I discovered just how much online volunteering there is to do in the world. From usingyour language skills to do translations， to developing and managing projects and helping with IT work， thereis so much that so many people can do to help people in their own countries and across the world. The UnitedNations， in fact， has a huge page with "Volunteers Recruited" on its website.

　　This work can support the poor and help charities who cannot pay for staff. Many organizations onlyrequire you to work an hour a week-some even less. And the support provided by online volunteers can reallyhelp make a difference to those in need.

　　30. What can be the best title for the passage?

　　【答案】27. A 28. B 29. D 30. C

　　【解析】科學技術已經(jīng)滲透進了我們的生活，我們每天都在使用這些科技帶來的方便中。但作者認為我們應該利用這些先進的技術去幫助別人，這樣才能體現(xiàn)出這些科技的力量。

　　27. 細節(jié)理解題。題目問到的是短文第二段，仔細閱讀這一段我們可以知道，這一段的第一句話是該段的中心句，根據(jù)這句話There is not a single room in my house that does not have some electronic devices(設備) lying around in it.的意思可知，在作者的家里，沒有一個房間里是沒有電子設備的，也就是說作者使用非常多的電子設備，下面的文字作者舉例來說明，如television, laptop, mobile phone等，故應選A。

　　28. 詞義猜測題。根據(jù)該段中I discovered just how much online volunteering there is to do in the world.可知，作者發(fā)現(xiàn)在網(wǎng)上有很多在線志愿活動，而這句話說的就是聯(lián)合國在網(wǎng)上招募志愿者的一個網(wǎng)站，由此我們可以知道劃線這個單詞應該是“招聘”的意思，與wanted同義，故選B。

　　29.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中I must say that I waste a lot of time on the computer and the time I spend on it could be much betterspent if I were to take up a little online volunteering以及下一段中的The technology we carry about everywhere can have a great power to do good for the world and to help others可知，故選D。

　　30. 主旨大意題。這篇短文開頭部分作者講述了我們周圍無處不在使用著科學技術，短文的第一段中What I always forget， though， is just how useful and powerful technology can be when we want to help others點明文章的主題，從短文的第三段開始，作者對文章主題進行展開論述，即我們應該利用這些技術去做一些在線的志愿者活動，去幫助別人，所以C選項Online volunteering在線志愿者活動這個題目能點明文章的主題，故選C。A選項Website Design網(wǎng)站設計;B選項Internet Organization在線組織;D選項Online Translation在線翻譯，這幾個選項都不符合文意。

　　點睛：這篇短文講述的是現(xiàn)在我們應該利用我們周圍無處不存在著先進的技術去幫助別人。短文主題明確、突出，線索也非常清楚，比較有利于學生們的做題。后面的題目設置包括細節(jié)理解、詞義猜測和主旨大意題。細節(jié)題都可以在短文中尋找到相關信息去作答，例如第1小題，這個題目涉及的是短文第二段的內容， 因此我們只需要弄清楚第二段的大意就行，這一段的主題句是第一句話，根據(jù)這一句我們可以知道，這里作者介紹的是他家里的各種各樣的電子設備，說明他在平時的生活中大量的使用了這些設備，故應選A。
