Question

【題目】閱讀理解。

Parties and social gatherings no longer excite us the same way they once did. This is not due to a lack of desire to socialize, but the smartphone.

At parties, more people are on their smartphones than on their drinks. According to a recent International Data Corporation study, well over half of all Americans have a smartphone and reach for it the moment they wake up, keeping it in hand all day. In addition, too many people in society are using smartphones while driving and as a result, they get into car crashes. 34 percent of teenagers admit to texting while driving, and they confirm that text messaging is their number one driving interruption. People's attachment to their smartphones is unbelievably becoming more important than the lives of themselves and others.

Just as drivers dismiss the importance of focusing while on the road, many people also fail to recognize the significance of human interaction. When with their friends, some people pointlessly check or send text messages in the presence of a friend, which sends a message to that friend: the person I am texting is more important than you. In addition, relying on our smartphones to make friends does not give us the same advantage as being able to make new friendships in the real world. Facetoface conversations will give us much stronger communication skills in the long run.

As many people risk their lives and the lives of people around them just to send a text or mindlessly check their messages, smartphones are in many ways more dangerous to people. The quality of this technology is preventing societal achievements and weakening the value of communication. Not only is the smartphone affecting our desire to interact (交流) facetoface, but it is also lowering society's ability to communicate.

【4】C

【解析】

試題分析：

【1】C 主旨大意題。全文通過描述人們在社交或開車的時候埋頭玩智能手機的現(xiàn)象，指出了這一現(xiàn)象背后值得思考的話題：智能手機的過度使用已影響到了人們的日常生活和溝通。作者對此表示擔憂，因此選C。

【2】A 細節(jié)理解題。第二段介紹了人們使用智能手機的情況，比如聚會上、開車時，并提到了開車時使用智能手機發(fā)短信的青少年的比例，因此該段是通過舉例子來闡述其觀點的。

【3】B 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段的最后兩句“In addition, relying on our smartphones to make friends does not give us the same advantage as being able to make new friendships in the real world.Facetoface conversations will give us much stronger communication skills in the long run”可知，作者提倡面對面交朋友，而不是通過智能手機，因此選B。

【4】C 推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段最后一句“Not only is the smartphone affecting our desire to interact (交流) facetoface, but it is also lowering society's ability to communicate.”可知，對智能手機過于依賴不僅會影響面對面的交流，而且也會降低社會的溝通能力，從而導致溝通技巧的弱化，因此選C。
