Answer 1

答案：1．A;2．D;3．A;4．A;
解析：

(1)	细节理解题。由第三段最后一句话可知A项正确，而entertainment，business and appointment都是“New features”，所以不选B、C两项。D项文中未涉及且与题意不符，故不选。
(2)	细节理解题。由第五段知并不是在当前就能这样做，而是一种猜测或许不久的将来就可以了。故只有D符合题意。
(3)	词义猜测题。因为本部分写的是手机的未来的功能，所以选A项。
(4)	主旨归纳题。综观全文可知，本文主要讲述手机已有的和将来可能具有的功能。所以选A项。B项指手机的流行性和受欢迎性。C项指手机的种类而不是功能。D项讲手机在人们生活中的作用和重要性，均不能正确概括全文内容所以排除。
