题目内容
6.It has become the modern substitute of glancing at your watch-the furtive(偷偷的)look at a phone screen to check for new messages or have a quick look at Facebook.Researchers have now found why we often feel such a strong urge to glance at our handset.Using your mobile,they say,is easily affected by other people.A University of Michigan team say people are twice as likely to pull out their phones to check their messages or emails if they're with someone who has just done the same.It also found that females were more likely to use their mobile than men because it was more‘consistent'with the daily lives of women.
The team watched students in dining halls and coffee shops around campus,observing pairs of students sitting at tables for as long as 20minutes and recorded their cellphone use at 1 0-second intervals.
"What we found most interesting was just how often people were using their mobile phones,"Dr Daniel Kruger,the study's co-author,said."Every person we observed used his/her phone at least once while one woman was on hers about half of the time.You may see others checking their incoming messages and be encouraged to check your own.''
Overall,the students used their cellphones in an average of 24percent,the researchers found.But they were significantly more likely to use their phones(39.5percent)when their companion had just done so in the previous 10-second interval than without the social clue,the researchers said,adding that this behavior was often repeated.
Cell phones create an alternative way for one's attention and may both promote and interrupt ongoing social activities,the researchers wrote.
Kruger believes this pattern could be related to the effects of social acceptance and rejection.If one person in a pair engages in another conversation through their phone,his or her companion may feel rejected.That companion then might be forced to connect with others from outside so as not to feel left out.
56.People's strong desire to check their messages partly results fromC.
A.the modern substitute of their watches
B.the new messages of their handsets
C.the same behavior of other people
D.the update service of Facebook

A.They want to show off their modern mobiles.
B.They are more likely to be influenced by others.

D.They desire to meet the demands of society.

57.B. 细节理解题.从文中第二段"…females were more likely to use their mobile than men because…"看出:同男性相比,女性会更频繁地使用手机,因为她们更需要"融入到女性的日常生活圈".故选B.
58.D. 推理判断题.最后一段告诉我们:如果两个人在一起,其中一个在打电话,那么同伴就会感到自己被排斥了,为了自己不遭冷落,他就会强迫自己掏出手机与别人联络.故选D.
59.A. 词意猜测题.从倒数第三段划线部分上下文可知:研究者发现,若旁边有同伴在未收到任何社交信号的情况下用手机的话,那另外一人使用手机的频率则会大幅增加.因此,"his behavior"指的是"using the cellphones". 故选A.
60.D.标题判断题. 综合全文可以得出结论:使用手机也会传染,当看到别人收发短信时,也会不自觉地掏出手机,由此推断出手机使用的迅速推广和普及.故选D.
