题目内容
17."I can't live without my mobile phone!"is what I often hear people say as they talk about how mobiles have become an essential part of their lives.The all so common sight of heads bent,eyes staring at mobile screens and fingers busy tapping away repeats itself across major cities around the world.Whenever there is a moment to spare while on the train,taxi or waiting in a queue,people busy themselves with their mobile phones.
Some people believe our unhealthy obsession(着迷) with mobile phones is destroying how we appreciate the little things in life or miss the moments that matter.The truth is that technology overall should be seen as just a tool to improve our lives.
Mobile phones have certainly had a great influence on our lives,but I truly believe it is for the better.
It's changed the way we communicate,whether for work or play.We are now less constrained(限制)by time and geographical location.With my mobile phone,I can dial into conference calls while stuck in a traffic jam,or reply to urgent e-mails while on the go.I can send a text message or share photos and videos with friends who aren't living in the same country.My phone calendar keeps my life organized,and even Facebook,Twitter,and instant messaging are now accessible from mobile phones!
The mobile revolution isn't just changing the lives of urbanities (都市人) like myself.I know of a young Bangladeshi woman named Shompa Akhter who is crazy about fashion and design.She dreamt about starting her own business and she did just that,opening a shop in Kushtia featuring her own creations.Dealing with supplies in different towns was a problem for Shompa---purchase orders had to either be hand delivered or mailed out to supplies.Shompa also found it tough publicizing her business to potential customers outside her town.But once she learnt to operate the mobile phone,she was addicted.The 25-year-old businesswoman now stays in touch easily with her suppliers.Mobile e-mail is a blessing in her life.
Who would have thought that mobility could bring about such enormous change?It shouldn't really be a surprise though.

分析 文章大意:本文讲的是手机对人们的影响巨大,有人甚至说"没有手机就活不下去了",手机固然对人们有不利影响,但它同时带来的巨大好处也是显而易见的.
解答 28.D 目的意图题.通读文章第一段和第二段可知,作者描述了手机对人们生活产生的巨大影响:人们高呼没有手机就活不下去;不管在哪里,只要有时间,人们就会盯着手机等等.因此可以归纳出"在日常生活中,人们已经沉溺于手机"这一结论,这也正是作者所要表达的,因此答案选D.
29.B 观点态度题.根据文章第四段Mobile phones have certainly had a great influence on our lives,but I truly believe it is for the better和最后一段Who would have thought that mobility could bring about such enormous change?等语句可以看出作者对于手机是支持的,认为它给人们的生活带来了极大的好处.因此答案选B.
30.C 主旨大意题.根据第五段内容可知本段主要讲的是手机的一些优点,因此答案选C.
31.D 篇章结构题.分析全文可知作者先谈到了手机的坏处,后来有分析了手机的有点,这是比较不同的观点.因此答案选D.
