Question

【題目】Nowadays people are not so excited by parties and social gatherings. This is not because of having no desire to socialize, but because of smartphones.

When they are gathering together, 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 much of society is using smartphones while driving and as a result getting into car crashes. 34 percent of teens admit to text 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 ignore 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 smartphone to make friends does not give us the same advantage as being able to make new friendships in the real world. Face-to-face 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 de-advancing societal achievements and weakening the value of communication. Not only is the smartphone affecting our desire to interact (交流) face-to-face but it is also lowering society's ability to communicate.

【1】A 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交流。作者對此表示擔憂，故選A。

【名師點撥】

細節(jié)題的破解一般采用尋讀法，即先看試題，再讀文章。對有關(guān)信息進行快速定位，再將相關(guān)信息進行整合、甄別、分析、對比，有根有據(jù)地排除干擾項，選出正確答案。此法加強了閱讀的針對性，提高了做題的準確率，節(jié)省了寶貴的時間。尋讀法還特別適用于對圖形表格類題材的理解。做此類型的題目還要特別注意句子的邏輯關(guān)系。英語中有許多功能詞，如：表因果關(guān)系的because, since, as等；表轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系的but, however ,on the contrary, on the other hand等等。10.【3】D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D。
