今天又來到考生比較不喜歡的閱讀測驗囉，其實閱讀測驗的的解題並不難，因為外國人寫文章都愛用破題法，只要看第一段即可知道文章大概在講什麼內容。例如在此篇文章的第一段中，有提到“telephone” (電話)、“effect”(影響)，所以文章一定是跟電話對現代人的影響有關。
What has the telephone done to us, or for us, in the hundred
years of its existence? A few effects suggest themselves at once. It
has saved lives by getting rapid word of illness, injury, or famine from
remote places. By joining with the elevator to make possible the
5
multistory residence or office building, it has made possible, for
better or worse, the modern city. By bringing about a quantum leap in
the speed and ease with which information moves from place to
place, it has greatly accelerated the rate of scientific and
technological change and growth in industry. Beyond doubt, it has
10
crippled if not killed the ancient art of letter writing. It has made living
alone possible for persons with normal social impulses; by so doing,
it has played a role in one of the greatest social changes in family
structures. It has made the waging of war chillingly more efficient
than formerly. Perhaps (though not provably) it has prevented wars
15
that might have arisen out of international misunderstanding caused
by written communication. Or perhaps, again not provably, by
magnifying and extending irrational personal conflicts based on voice
contact, it has caused wars. Certainly it has extended the scope of
human conflicts, since it impartially disseminates the useful
20
knowledge of scientists and the babble of bores, the affection of the
affectionate and the malice of the malicious.
