C．will promise D．Promises

D

【解析】

试题分析：考查时态。 promises to be 为一般时，注意现在进行时与一般现在时均可表示将来，但它们的重要区别就是，一般现在时更为客观，它倾向于说明一个客观的真理或者事实，而现在进行时却更倾向于主观的表述，带有强烈感情色彩。该句对票房的描述是一个基于现状的事实上预期，故选D。该句意思为：电影X-Men来年将会获得另一个好的票房。

考点：考察一般现在时。

When I had lunch with my family or dated with my friends, I couldn’t resist replying to a text message or checking my Facebook, WeChat on the mobile phone. Before long, it was easy for me to get tired. The more I texted during the day, the poor my sleep was. I couldn’t even focus on my study.

My friend told me that people who can’t help checking their phones all day are known as Phubbers (低头族). Phubbing trends not only to involve the young people, but also the elderly. Soon, I noticed a Stop Phubbing campaign site had been launched. I found the slogan of the website as follows: stop twittering, stop posting photos…enjoy your food, enjoy the music and respect your campaign.

Thankfully, I realized there was actually an outside world. My divided attention could keep me from what is truly important. Now, I can use the phone without feeling like a drug addict. I have more time to enjoy real-life activities. Use your cell phone and don’t let it use you.
