14.Well,I finally decided to enter the digital age.My kids have been annoying me; my book group made fun of me; and the last straw was when my car broke down,and I was stuck on the highway for an hour before someone stopped to help.But when I went to the cell phone store,I almost changed my mind.The phones are so small that I can't see the numbers.They all have cameras,computers and a Global Positioning System that's supposed to spot me from space.All I want to do is to be able to talk to my grandkids!And the rate plans(资费套餐)!They were complex,confusing,and expensive!I'd almost given up when a friend told me about her new Jitterbug phone.
Sometimes I think the people who designed this phone and the rate plans had me in mind.The phone fits easily in my pocket,but when it opens it reaches from my mouth to my ear.The display is large,so I can actually see who is calling.With a push of a button I can control the volume(音量),and if I don't know a number,I can simply push one for a friendly,helpful operator that will look it up and even dial for
Call now and get a FREE GIFT--$24in value!Try the Jitterbug for 30days and if you don't love it,just return it.The phone comes preprogrammed with your favorite numbers,and if you aren't as happy with it as I am,you can return it for a refund(退款)of the purchase price.

56.Why did the author's book group make fun of him?C
A.His car always broke down.
B.He was famous for his meanness.
C.He didn't keep up with the times.

A.because of its free gift               
B.because of its convenience
C.because of his friend sent it as a gift    
D.because its numbers were his favorite
58.What's the main purpose of this passage?A
A.To advertise the Jitterbug phone.
B.To introduce how to enter the digital age.
C.To describe the author's personal experience.
D.To show users how to use the Global Positioning System.

分析 本文主要是通过作者自己买手机的经历来推广更多的顾客购买Jitterbug手机.

57.B.理解推断题.由第三段The display is large,so I can actually see who is calling.With a push of a button I can control the volume,可知,这个手机可以让我清楚地看到通话者,便于调音量等,是很方便的,故选B.
58.A.主旨大意题.根据文章最后一部分Call now and get a FREE GIFT--$24in value!对于Jid-手机的介绍和订购方式以及联系方法都可推知本文主要是通过作者自己买手机的经历来推广更多的顾客购买Jitterbug手机,因此A项正确.
