Question

【題目】 Text messaging, or simply "texting", which allows people to send and receive messages on mobile phones, becomes very popular today.

The advantages(優(yōu)勢(shì)) of texting are obvious(明顯的). Texting helps to save money. If you have a few words to greet your families and friends on their birthdays or on some important festivals, sending messages can be cheaper than phone calling. Texting helps to save time. Even if you want to send a message to 100 people, you can do it one second. Texting helps you to "talk" to someone when he is too busy to answer the phone. Texting can also help you to "talk" to someone secretly if you don't want others to hear what you are talking on the phone. These advantages are so amazing that many people are crazy about it. They hold mobile phones in hands all day long, send dozens of messages each day, and even text while driving or walking.

However, texting has its disadvantages. Junk messages may come into your mobile phone box now and then. When your phone box gets too full, you can't receive any more messages. You may therefore miss some important information.

What's more, if you don't do texting properly, for example, texting while driving or walking, it can be dangerous. It can cause injuries(傷害) and even death. It was reported that about 6,000 people were killed and half a million were injured for this reason each year. In Fort Lee, a small town in New Jersey, the USA, three people died because they walked into traffic while texting in 2011. Two researchers at Stony Brook University, New York found that texters are 60% more probably to have an accident than others. When people are texting, they don't notice other people or things around them. To reduce traffic accidents, all drivers of the USA are now not allowed to text while driving. About 32 countries have passed laws restricting the use of mobile phones while driving.

Texting is a wonderful way of communication. However, only when we use it properly, can we fully enjoy the fun it brings.

【解析】

本文講述了短信。發(fā)短信的優(yōu)點(diǎn)：發(fā)短信有助于省錢，有助于節(jié)省時(shí)間，可以幫助你在別人忙著接電話的時(shí)候和他“交談”，可以幫助你和別人秘密“交談”；但是發(fā)短信有缺點(diǎn)：可能會(huì)錯(cuò)過一些重要的信息，不正確地發(fā)短信會(huì)有嚴(yán)重的后果。所以作者建議只有當(dāng)人們正確地使用它，才能充分享受它帶來的樂趣。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段“Text messaging, or simply "texting", which allows people to send and receive messages on mobile phones, becomes very popular today.”可知短信，或簡單的“發(fā)短信”，允許人們?cè)谝苿?dòng)電話上發(fā)送和接收信息，所以本文主要講短信，故選B。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“Texting helps to save money”，“Texting helps to save time.”，“Texting helps you to "talk" to someone when he is too busy to answer the phone. ”，“Texting can also help you to "talk" to someone secretly”可知有四個(gè)優(yōu)點(diǎn)，故選C。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“New York found that texters are 60% more probably to have an accident than others”可知發(fā)短信的人發(fā)生事故的可能性比其他人高60%，故選A。

【4】詞義猜測(cè)題。not telling不告訴；not allowing不允許；enjoying喜愛；making制作；根據(jù)“To reduce traffic accidents, all drivers of the USA are now not allowed to text while driving.”可知為了減少交通事故，美國現(xiàn)在禁止所有司機(jī)開車時(shí)發(fā)短信，所以此處是出臺(tái)法律限制，所以此處是不允許，故選B。

【5】主旨大意題。根據(jù)“Texting is a wonderful way of communication. However, only when we use it properly, can we fully enjoy the fun it brings.”可知只有當(dāng)人們正確地使用它，才能充分享受它帶來的樂趣，故選D。

這是篇關(guān)于普及知識(shí)及意見類的文章。題目有一定的難度，包括細(xì)節(jié)理解題、詞義猜測(cè)題、和主旨大意題。細(xì)節(jié)理解題需要根據(jù)題目要求在文中定位到相關(guān)內(nèi)容，結(jié)合文章內(nèi)容即可得出答案。第1小題結(jié)合文中第一段即可得出答案。第2題結(jié)合關(guān)鍵詞“advantages”可知道幾種，選出正確答案。詞義猜測(cè)題需要將單詞本身放在語境中，根據(jù)語境來猜測(cè)詞義，第4小題根據(jù)前一句即可得知答案。主旨大意題時(shí)要在理解文章大意的基礎(chǔ)上選擇對(duì)文章主旨概括最全面的一項(xiàng)，切忌以偏概全。第5小題是根據(jù)文章最后一段，可得出答案。
