Question

【题目】 Hey，you—look up! Our iPhone addictions(瘾)are destroying public space and damaging the normal social communication. The host collects phones at the door of the dinner party. At a law firm，partners keep a“no-mobile phone”policy at meetings. Each day，a good number of people gather outside NewYork’s high schools, offering, for a small price, to store students’ mobile phones during the day. In public, it’s hard to think of a place beyond the darkness of the movie theater where phone use isn’t allowed. In truly public space-on sidewalks，in parks，on buses and on trains—we move with the face down, our phones shine like flashlights，

Consider the case of a recent murder on a San Francisco train. On Sept.23，in a crowded car， a man pulled a gun from his jacket. He raised the gun，pointing it across the aisle. He drew it out several more times, once using the hand holding the gun to wipe his nose. Dozens of passengers stood and sat just feet away—but none reacted. Their eyes，focused on smartphones, didn’t lift until the gunman fired a bulletin into the back of a San Francisco State student getting off the train.

There are thousands of similar stories that together sound the alarm for a new understanding of public space. In Japan，more than a dozen people fall off railway platforms while looking at their phones each year. Some experts there have called for bans on texting. Besides，many train station notices remind people to look where they are going，and even mobile phone companies have begun to educate users about the dangers of looking at a phone while walking.

The development of information technology is separating us from our surroundings. The urban theorist Malcolm McCullough writes“Closed in cars, often in headphones，seldom in places where they can communicate in person seldom choosing face-to-face meetings，moden citzens escaped from public life.

【1】

推理判断题。根据第二段中Dozens of passengers stood and sat just feet away—but none reacted. Their eyes，focused on smartphones, didn’t lift until the gunman fired a bulletin into the back of a San Francisco State student getting off the train.“几十名乘客在离他们只有几英尺远的地方站着或坐着，但没有人反应。他们的眼睛一直盯着智能手机，直到枪手向一名下火车的旧金山州立大学学生的后背开枪，他们才抬起头来。”由此可知，作者写第二段是为了来解释手机是如何破坏公共场所的。故选A。

【2】

推理判断题。根据第一段中Our iPhone addictions(瘾)are destroying public space and damaging the normal social communication.“我们对iPhone的沉迷正在破坏公共空间，破坏正常的社会交流。”由此可知，我们能从旧金山火车上的凶杀案中得出“智能手机成瘾已经改变了正常的社交交流。”的结论。故选D。

【3】

推理判断题。根据第二段第一句Consider the case of a recent murder on a San Francisco train. On Sept.23，in a crowded car， a man pulled a gun from his jacket.“以最近发生在旧金山火车上的一起谋杀案为例。9月23日，在一辆拥挤的汽车里，一名男子从夹克里掏出一把枪。”和第三段中There are thousands of similar stories that together sound the alarm for a new understanding of public space. In Japan，more than a dozen people fall off railway platforms while looking at their phones each year.“有成千上万的类似的故事一起敲响了对公共空间新理解的警钟。在日本，每年都有十几个人在看手机的时候从火车站台上掉下来。”由此可知，这篇文章是通过举例子进行情节发展的。故选A。

【4】

推理判断题。根据最后一段The development of information technology is separating us from our surroundings. The urban theorist Malcolm McCullough writes“Closed in cars, often in headphones，seldom in places where they can communicate in person seldom choosing face-to-face meetings，moden citzens escaped from public life.“信息技术的发展使我们与周围的环境分离开来。城市理论家马尔科姆·麦卡洛写道:“现代城市人关在车里，经常戴着耳机，很少在可以面对面交流的地方很少选择面对面的会议，他们逃离了公共生活。”由此可知，作者在最后一段表明过多使用智能手机可能会对人们的交流造成伤害。故选C。
