15.A.Choose the best answerOnce upon a time if we wanted to make a phone call or wait for someone to contact us,we had to sit at home or at our desks.There were public phones in the street of course,but it could be hard to find one that was working and there were often long queues to use them.And of course you had to bring a lot of coins to pay for the calls.
So people didn't phone their friends as often.Mobile phones,these small pieces of electronic equipment which allow us to talk with friends and family while we are on the move,have greatly changed the way we live.Before the age of the mobile phone,our loved ones would sit around worried sick if we were late coming home.There were no quick calls to tell mum that there would be additional guests coming for dinner.We would have to depend on notes left on fridges or desks to communicate messages.
But mobile phones have also had a negative effect and what people don't seem to realize is that we've lost something very valuable:our privacy.Now our friends and family can contact us wherever and whenever they want to.We can never get away from them.The way people communicate with each other is totally different now.It's difficult to have a conversation face-to-face with a friend without being disturbed every couple of minutes by the ring of their phones,most people don't see anything wrong in having a long conversation on their mobile phone while forgetting all about the person sitting opposite.It seems the art of real conversation may be dying.
Of course,people could leave their mobile phones at home or even switch them off but no one ever does that.Why not?Because the worrying thing is we can't live without our phones.We've become communication addicts,unable to spend even a few minutes out of contact,in case we miss something'important'.

分析 文章大意:
曾经有一段时间,如果我们想打个电话或等待某人联系我们,我们不得不坐在家里或我们的办公桌.当然在街上有公共电话,但它可能很难找到一个可以正常工作的,并且也有经常长的队列在排队等候,使用他们.当然,你不得不带来很多硬币来支付呼叫.
所以人们没有经常打电话给他们的朋友.手机,这些小件电子设备,使我们能够在移动中与我们的朋友和家人谈话,已经大大改变了我们的生活方式.在移动时代电话,如果我们迟到回家,我们的亲人只是坐在那里担心.没有快速电话告诉妈妈,将有额外的客人来吃饭.我们将不得不依赖于留在冰箱或书桌上的备注消息来沟通.
但手机也有负面影响,人们似乎没有意识到,我们失去了一些非常有价值的东西:我们的隐私.现在我们的朋友和家人可以联系我们,无论何时何地.我们永远不会远离他们.人们彼此沟通的方式现在是完全不同的.现在看来很难与朋友面对面交谈,因为我们的手机每隔几分钟就会打扰我们的谈话.在他们的手机上长时间的谈话,而忘了所有的人坐在对面,可笑的是,大多数人没有注意到这样的错误.这样下午的话,真正的对话艺术可能就要消亡了.
当然,人们可以把他们的手机放在家里,甚至关闭,但没有人这样做,为什么不?因为令人担心的是我们不能没有我们的手机.我们沟通成瘾,无法在几分钟内不进行任何沟通,因为我们怕错过重要的东西.
解答 69.B,句意猜测题,文中提到"but it could be hard to find one that was working and there were often long queues to use them",说明公共电话亭不仅很难找到一个可以正常使用的电话,而且还需要排队等待,所以可以猜测公共电话亭设施及使用条件受限,所以选择B.
70.C,推理判断题,文中提到"We would have to depend on notes left on fridges or desks to communicate messages"由此可知,在有手机之前,人们只是在家里焦急的等着消息,要不然就是依靠冰箱上的便条来知晓该做什么,所以选择C.
71.A,推理判断题,文中提到"it could be hard to find one that was working and there were often long queues to use them"公共电话亭用着不方便,需要排长队,
"our loved ones would sit around worried sick if we were late coming home"没有手机之前坐在家里等消息或依靠便条,所以说很不方面,而对于BCD三个选项,文章中并没有涉及,因此选择A.
72.D,推理判断题,文中提到"we've lost something very valuable:our privacy"打电话让我们失去隐私,"We can never get away from them"并且我们无法走出来,也就是说明知道是错误的,有害的,我们却"no one ever does that"没有人适时关闭手机,所以作者想借此来表达自己的感受,那就是尽可能的远离手机,不在泄露我们的隐私,因此选择D.
73.C,推理判断题,文中提到"Mobile phones,these small pieces of electronic equipment which allow us to talk with friends and family while we are on the move"可知手机的出现极大的方面了我们的日常生活,所以作者不应该是失望(disappointed),所以A错误;文中提到"But mobile phones have also had a negative effect and what people don't seem to realize is that we've lost something very valuable:our privacy"由此可以确定,作者并不为电话的出现感到满意(satified)或惊讶(surprised),因为它有一个致命的确定,那就是泄露隐私,而这对于我们来说就是个灾难,所以应该是担心(worried),因此选择C.
74.B,主旨大意题,文章前半部分通过之前没有手机的生活引出手机发明之后改变了我们的生活,但后半部分,一直在说手机对于我们的危害"lost something very valuable:our privacy"泄露隐私,"real conversation may be dying"让交流变得毫无意义,所以作者主要介绍的还是手机带来的缺点,因此选择B.
点评 本文主要是说手机的发明给人们带来的便利及麻烦.题目涉及到词义猜测、推理判断和主旨大意题,要在抓住关键句子的基础上进行合理地分析才能得出正确答案,切记不能乱猜,一定做到有理有据
