Question

【题目】根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

How smartphones could be ruining your relationship

We carry our smartphones with us wherever we go. We didn’t have the time to set any boundaries for smartphone usage, and now we find ourselves unable to save our relationships. Smartphones are very useful in many circumstances. 【1】

Lack of mindfulness

We become totally lost in our digital lives. Smartphones get in the way of our relationships, making it impossible for us to wholeheartedly devote our attention to the present moment. 【2】

Loss of communication

In fact, some people talk more about their relationships on Facebook than they do face-to-face with the person they’re actually in a relationship with! 【3】 Why not do something together, other than sitting side by side staring at the displays on your individual phones? Excessive (过度的) smartphone use makes it impossible for us to build any new, sincere relationships.

Prioritizing (优先) the wrong models of communication

【4】 We damage our happiness and harm our relationships, failing to see which is more important in our life. Small, precious moments are slipping away because we’re focused on reading all of our emails, and we get unreasonably anxious if we put our phones away even for 30 minutes.

【5】

Unless you put boundaries to your phone usage, you will become addicted to it. We shouldn’t feel stressed and anxious when we’re in phone-free areas. We should be happy that we can value special moments happening each day and make good use of our time and our relationships.

A. Breakdown of elationships

B. Stress and smartphone separation anxiety

C. However, they can harm our relationships in indirect ways.

D. As a result, we lose many moments that are special and never to be lived again.

E. You don’t even have to take a smartphone addiction test to see if you’re addicted to it.

F. Why choose to communicate through social media, rather than enjoy a friend’s company?

G. We’ve become addicted to digital communication, regarding real-life communication as secondary.

试题分析：关于智能手机怎样毁掉你的友谊？

【1】C根据上句：智能手机在很多情况下都有用。再根据空格后面的内容：智能手机的危害。可知此空起承上启下，引出下文的作用，C项符合题意。C. However, they can harm our relationships in indirect ways.然而，他们可以间接地伤害我们的关系。

【2】D根据上句：智能手机妨碍了我们的友谊，使全心全意地关注当前时刻变成不可能。可知此空要表达的意思应该是：我们失去了许多特别的时刻，永远不会再回来了。这里的关键词是：moment。可知D项符合题意。另外，在D项中的As a result,结果，也起着很大的作用。

【3】F根据上句：一些人在脸书上谈论他们的关系比面对面地交谈更多。根据下句：为什么不一起做一些事情，除了肩并肩坐着盯着你的个人手机上的显示？F. Why choose to communicate through social media, rather than enjoy a friend’s company? 为什么选择通过社交媒体进行沟通，而不是喜欢一个朋友的陪伴？此项在句子结构和意思上都符合题意。故选F。

【4】G此空是首句。根据下句：我们毁掉了我们的幸福，伤害了我们的友谊，看不到友谊在我们的生活中更重要。可知空格的意思是：我们已经沉迷于数字通信，把现实生活中的沟通看做次要的。前后是因果关系，故选G。

【5】B此空是小标题。也应该在讲智能手机的危害。根据下文：除非你限制你的手机使用，你将变得沉迷与它。当我们在电话里的时候，我们不应该感到有压力和焦虑。可知B项符合题意“压力与智能手机分离焦虑”。
