Question

【題目】閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容完成下列各題。Thumbs Down to Texting (屈指發(fā)短信)
Do you have a mobile phone? Do you send text messages to your friends and family?
Text messaging or “texting” is becoming very popular. But, scientists have discovered that texting can give us problems with our hands. Be careful! Too much texting can cause swelling in our thumbs. Our thumbs were not made for pushing small buttons, over and over. Scientists call this problem RSI. We spoke to a doctor called Harriet Wilson, who treats many sick people with RSI. She says we need to see how much time we are spending in typing text messages. If we are spending more than 10-15 minutes at once, we could have problems in the future.
As mobile phones develop, they are getting smaller with buttons closer together. Texting with a smaller phone is worse than using a larger phone with bigger buttons. Using a computer keyboard and playing video games can cause the same problem. So more and more people could find themselves with RSI. Among them, most are university students and teenagers, as they do not know the risks of spending so much time using computer, video games and mobile phones. If we don't do something about this, too many young people could grow up in terrible pain.
（1）What is becoming very popular now?
（2）Does the word “once” mean “one time” in the second passage?
（3）What kind of people are easier to have the problem of RSI?
（4）What can also cause RSI except texting?
（5）Which is easier to cause the problem of RSI, using smaller mobile phones or larger ones?

【解析】現(xiàn)在由于人們都使用手機(jī)發(fā)送短信，科學(xué)家們發(fā)現(xiàn)經(jīng)常用手機(jī)發(fā)送短信可能會(huì)帶來一些問題。在得RSI的人群中，大學(xué)生和青少年更多。而且用小的手機(jī)比用大的手機(jī)導(dǎo)致的問題更加嚴(yán)重。
（1）Texting./Text message./ Sending text message. 根據(jù)短文的第二段中Text messaging or “texting” is becoming very popular可知，這個(gè)題目的答案是Text messaging或者Texting。
（2）Yes. /Yes, it does.根據(jù)短文第二段中 She says we need to see how much time we are spending in typing text messages. If we are spending more than 10-15 minutes at once, we could have problems in the future.可知，醫(yī)生說我們需要看我們花費(fèi)在發(fā)短信的時(shí)間有多少，如果一次10-15分鐘，未來我們可能就有問題。由此可知，這里的once表示的是次數(shù)，故答案是肯定的。
（3）University students and teenagers./Young people./Young learners. 根據(jù)短文第三段中So more and more people could find themselves with RSI. Among them, most are university students and teenagers可知，在得RSI的人群中，大學(xué)生和青少年是最多的。
（4）Using a computer keyboard and playing video games. 根據(jù)短文第三段中Using a computer keyboard and playing video games can cause the same problem.可知，使用電腦的鍵盤和玩視頻游戲也能導(dǎo)致RSI。
（5）Using smaller mobile phones./Using smaller ones. 根據(jù)短文第三段中Texting with a smaller phone is worse than using a larger phone with bigger buttons小的手機(jī)比用更大的手機(jī)問題更嚴(yán)重。
