9.Cell Phone Are the New CigaretteWhen you get in your car,you reach for it.When you are at work,you take a break to have a moment alone with it.When you get in to a lift,you play with it.
Cigarette?Cup of coffee?No,it's the third most addictive thing in modern life,the cell phone.Experts say that it is becoming more difficult for many people to curb their longing to hug it more tightly than most of their personal relationships.
With its shiny surface and its smooth and satisfying touch,the cell phone connects us to the world even as it disconnects us from people three feet away.In just the past couple of years,the cell phone has challenged people in ways its inventors in the late 1940s never imagined.
The costs are becoming even more obvious,and I don't mean just the monthly bill.Dr.Chris Knippers,working at the Betty Ford Center in Southern California,reports that the overuse of cell phones has become a social problem not much different from other harmful addictions:a problem that limits one-on-one personal contact,and an escape from reality.
Sounds extreme,but we've all witnessed the evidence:the person at restaurant who talks on the phone through an entire meal,ignoring his kids around the table; the women who talks on the phone in the car,ignoring her husband; the teen who texts messages all the way home from school,avoiding contact with kids all around him.
Is it just rude,or is it a kind of unhealthiness?And pardon me,but how is this improving the quality of life?
Jim Williams,an industrial sociologist based in Massachusetts,notes that cell-phone addiction is part of a set of symptoms in a widening gulf of personal separation.He points to a study by Duke University researchers that found one-quarter of Americans say they have no one to discuss their most important personal business with,Williams says studies show that we don't have as many friends as our parents."Just as more information has led to less wisdom,more acquaintances via the Internet and cell phones have produced fewer friends."he says.

分析 本文为社会生活类议论文,文章讲的是现在很多人对手机有瘾,就像对香烟一样,给人们的生活带来负面影响.人们忙于利用手机,忽视了身边的人,忽视了面对面的交流;过度上网交网友导致生活中的朋友减少;因此在现实生活中遇到重大问题时没有人商量.
解答 60.答案是C.主旨大意题;文章第一段"Cell Phone Are the New Cigarette"点明了主题,手机是新的香烟,暗示让人成瘾;下文分析手机成瘾的现象和危害,故选C.
61.答案是A.词汇理解题;由上句"it's the third most addictive thing in modern life(手机是现代生活中第三大让人成瘾的事物)"推断很多人无法"控制"拥抱它的渴望,故选A.
62.答案是D.细节理解题;由第六段中"but we've all witnessed the evidence(我们都见过这些证据)"可知,下文列举的是"证据"说明上段最后的观点"a problem that limits one-on-one personal contact手机成瘾限制了面对面之间的交流":和丈夫在一起,却没有和他交流,故判断手机未必把人们连在一起.选C
