在做的事情。因此推断标题是“关掉社交网址并关掉”。故F选项“关掉社交网址并关掉”切题。故选F。第三部分语言运用(共两节，满分45分)第一节(共20小题;每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Duringmyquietmoments,Ioftenthinkbacktothedayswhenmychildrenwereyoung.Lifewashardandvery____16____formethen,becauseIhada(n)____17____andchallengingjob.Iworkedfrommorningtonight.ThenIwasillinhospital.AfterI____18____,Iwentbacktowork,onlytobetoldIwouldbe____19____.Thepanywasmakingbudget(预算)cuts,and____20____tolayoff(下岗)someworkers.Iwasoneofthem.Mybosshandedmeanenvelope(信封).Iwas____21____whenIopeneditandsawthecheck(支票)Ihadreceived.Itwas____22____enoughtogetusoverthedifficulttime.Iwas____23____,though,andleftthepany.Everycoinhastwosides.ThenmychildrenandIhadthe____24____ofourlivesasaresultofmygettinglaidoff.I____25____agreatdealofmoneyonchildcare,andwediscoveredhowmuch____26____wecouldhaveonasmallamountofmoney.Wedidallkindsofactivitiesandleda____27____andhappylifetogether.Theweekbeforemyunemploymentbenefitsended,Ifoundaparttimejobatalocalpharmacy(药房).I____28____duringthehoursmysonswereinschool.Ikeptthejobforeightyears.The____29____Igotthereenabledmetofindasimilarjob____30____Imovedtoanothertown.WhenIthinkbacktothedaysI____31____myjob,IrealizethatalthoughIwassadthen,itwasthe____32____thingthathadeverhappenedtome.____33____beinglaidoff,Ihadthe____34____tospendqualitytimewithmychildren,andeventofindamore____35____jobtobalancemyroleasmotherandemployee.16.A.wealthy
