Question

【题目】 Many people use their mobile phones as the alarm clocks (闹钟) and often check e-mails before going to sleep.

Many years ago, my brother stayed up playing with his mobile phone and got badly ill because of that. Now he always leaves his phone in another room when going to sleep. And he encourages his friends to do so. “I sent each of my friends the same Christmas gift-an alarm clock. So they could stop using the phones as the alarm clocks,” he said.

If your mobile phone wakes you up in the morning, it may also keep you up at night. A study shows that people in mobile phone radiation (辐射) mostly have sleeping problems. And according to a Swedish study, a quarter of young people in this country feel like having their phones near them. Most of them feel sorry for not replying to messages, so they even have to reply to their friends before sleeping.

A recent study has shown that three quarters of people aged between 18 and 34 prefer to sleep with their phones near them. That number falls off a little in the middle age, but only people aged 65 and older like leaving the phones in another room while sleeping.

【1】词意猜测题。此句Many years ago, my brother stayed up playing with his mobile phone and got badly ill because of that.句意是：很多年前，我哥哥熬夜玩手机，因此得了重病。根据句意可知“得重病的原因是熬夜玩手机”；故选B。

【2】细节理解题。根据第4段第1句A recent study has shown that three quarters of people aged between 18 and 34 prefer to sleep with their phones near them.可知最近的一项研究表明，在18岁到34岁之间的人中，四分之三的人更喜欢把手机放在身边睡觉。“四分之三”就是75%；故选C。

【3】细节理解题。根据第2段第2句Now he always leaves his phone in another room when going to sleep.可知“作家的哥哥现在当睡觉时总是把手机留在另一个房间里。”故A错误；根据第1段第1句Many people use their mobile phones as the alarm clocks (闹钟)可知“许多人用手机当闹钟”，故C错误；根据第4段最后1句but only people aged 65 and older like leaving the phones in another room while sleeping.可知“只有65岁及以上的人喜欢在睡觉时把手机留在另一个房间。”可知D错误；根据第2段第4句I sent each of my friends the same Christmas gift-an alarm clock.可知“作家的哥哥把闹钟作为礼物送给他的朋友。”故B正确，选B。
