【答案】

【1】D

【2】G

【3】B

【4】F

【5】E

【解析】最近一份報告顯示人們平均每天會看150次手機。然而，沉迷于手機會帶來許多危險。數(shù)據(jù)表明28%的交通事故和人們使用手機有關(guān)。本文呼吁人們理性使用手機，將更多的注意力放在周圍的人和自己的生活中。

【1】根據(jù)后文中They may not know using their cell phones may put themselves or their loved ones in danger可知，使用手機可能會使得自己或者愛的人處于危險中。這里可以總結(jié)兩個關(guān)鍵詞，也就是cell phones和danger。D選項中的關(guān)鍵詞cell phones和safety符合語境，故選D。

【2】根據(jù)前文They may not know using their cell phones may put themselves or their loved ones in danger.可知，使用手機會使得人們處于危險中。后文At least 200,000 car accidents were caused by texting messages.說發(fā)短信造成了至少200,000例汽車事故。G選項Statistics show 28 percent of car accidents occur from people using cell phones.（數(shù)據(jù)表明28%的汽車事故和人們使用手機有關(guān)）符合語境，起到了銜接前文、啟示后文的作用。故選G。

【3】根據(jù)后文A survey done by the Pew Institute suggested that Americans in the age range of 18 to 29 years old send 88 text messages a day.可知，調(diào)查顯示18到29歲的年輕人一天要發(fā)88條短信，說明年輕人對手機的依賴非常嚴重。B選項Human beings are glued to their cell phones.（人們被粘在手機上）也表明人們對手機的依賴，符合語境。故選B。

【4】根據(jù)前文Those emotions are within us, and by blocking these feelings with all of our latest technologies, we may be harming ourselves.可知，人們用手機阻擋了快樂、積極的情感，那樣會傷害自己。F選項中的depressions and anxiety和前文中的emotions相呼應(yīng)，故選F。

【5】根據(jù)前文I think we can live a happier life if we pay more attention to ourselves and the people we are speaking with.可知，作者呼吁人們把更多的注意力放在周圍的人身上，放在和我們說話的人身上，這樣我們才能擁有更幸福的生活。E選項 How many relationships are lost because of a lack of communication?（有多少人際關(guān)系因為缺少交流而淡漠了呢？）a lack of communication正和前文作者的呼吁“pay more attention to ourselves and the people we are speaking with”相對應(yīng)。故選E。
