問題詳情：
When you set a foot outside of your door to drop trash, go to a social event or go for a walk, thoughts like “I hope I don't see anyone I know” or “please don’ t talk to me” may run through your mind. I’ ve also said such things to myself. Sometimes the last thing you want to do is talk with someone, especially someone new.
Why do we go out of our ways to avoid people? Do we think meeting new people is a waste of time? Or are we just lazy, thinking that meeting someone new really is a trouble?
Communication is the key to life. We have been told that many times. Take the past generations, like our parents, for example. They seem to take full advantage of that whole “communication” idea because they grew up talking face to face while Generation-Y grew up staring at screens. We spend hours of our days sitting on Facebook. We send messages to our friends and think about all of the things we want to say to certain people that we don't have the courage to actually do in reality.
Nowadays, we are so caught up in our little circle of friends — our comfort zone. We love it that they laugh at our jokes, understand our feelings and can read our minds. Most importantly, they know when we want to be alone. They just get us.
Holding a conversation with someone new means agreeing with things that you don’t actually believe and being someone you think they want you to be — it is, as I said before, a trouble. It takes up so much energy, and at some point or another, it is too tiring.
But meeting new people is important. Life is too short, so meet all the people you can meet, make the effort to go out and laugh. Remember, Every “hello” leads to a smile — and a smile is worth a lot.

【分析】
這是一篇議論文。文章主要講了如今，年輕一代人總是依靠互聯網進行社交活動，但卻不願意在真實的世界中與人交往，但是在真實的世界中結識新人是很重要的。作者鼓勵人們結識新人。
28．細節理解題。根據第一段I’ ve also said such things to myself. Sometimes the last thing you want to do is talk with someone, especially someone new.（我也對自己說過這樣的話。有時候你最不想做的事情就是和別人交談，尤其是和陌生人。）可知作者有時害怕和別人說話。故選D。
29．推理判斷題。根據第三段We spend hours of our days sitting on Facebook. We send messages to our friends and think about all of the things we want to say to certain people that we don't have the courage to actually do in reality.（我們每天花幾個小時坐在“臉書”上。我們給我們的朋友發資訊，思考我們想對某些人說的那些我們在現實中沒有勇氣去說的事情。）由此推斷出，在作者看來，年輕一代的問題是他們依靠互聯網進行社交活動。故選A。
30．細節理解題。根據倒數第二段Holding a conversation with someone new means agreeing with things that you don’t actually believe and being someone you think they want you to be — it is, as I said before, a trouble. It takes up so much energy, and at some point or another, it is too tiring.（和新認識的人交談意味着同意你不相信的事情，成爲他們希望你成爲的人——就像我之前說的，這是一個麻煩。它需要如此多的精力，在某些時候，它太累人了。）可知許多年輕人不願結識新朋友是因爲他們認爲這很麻煩。故選A。
31．推理判斷題。根據最後一段But meeting new people is important. Life is too short, so meet all the people you can meet, make the effort to go out and laugh. Remember, Every “hello” leads to a smile — and a smile is worth a lot.（但是認識新人是很重要的。生命太短暫，所以遇到所有你能遇到的人，努力走出去笑一笑。記住，每個“你好”都能帶來一個微笑——而一個微笑是很有價值的。）由此推斷出，作者寫這篇文章是爲了鼓勵人們結識新人。故選C。
【點睛】
細節理解題大多是根據文章中的具體資訊如事實、例*、原因、過程、論述等進行提問的。抓住文段中的事實和細節是做好該題型的關鍵，也是做好其它類型問題的基礎。該題型幾乎都可以在文章中直接找到與*有關的資訊，或是其變體。在一篇短文裏大部分篇幅都屬於這類圍繞主體展開的細節。做這類題一般採用尋讀法，即先讀題，然後帶着問題快速閱讀短文，找出與問題和選項有關的詞語或句子，再對相關部分進行分析對比，找出*。正確選項雖然一般不是原文照搬，但是一般是原文的改寫，意思不變。如換一個同義詞，把否定改爲肯定，把肯定改爲否定等。如第3小題，根據倒數第二段Holding a conversation with someone new means agreeing with things that you don’t actually believe and being someone you think they want you to be — it is, as I said before, a trouble. It takes up so much energy, and at some point or another, it is too tiring.（和新認識的人交談意味着同意你不相信的事情，成爲他們希望你成爲的人——就像我之前說的，這是一個麻煩。它需要如此多的精力，在某些時候，它太累人了。）可知許多年輕人不願結識新人是因爲他們認爲這很麻煩。故選A。
