Fifteen percent of US teenagers aged 12 to 17 who own mobile phones have received nude(裸體)or nearly nude images of someone they know, according to a survey released on Tuesday.

Only four percent of mobile phone-owning   1  in that age group have sent sexually suggestive pictures of themselves, a practice known as "sexting,"   2  the Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project.

The Pew survey found that girls and boys were equally as likely to have sent a suggestive picture to   3 person and  4   teenagers were more likely to have engaged in "sexting."

Eight percent of 17-year-olds with mobile phones have sent a sexually provocative(刺激的) image  5   texting and 30 percent have  6    a nude or nearly nude image on their phone.

Only four percent of 12-year-olds have sent suggestive images of   7  .

Amanda Lenhart, a senior research specialist at Pew and the author of the report, said sexually suggestive images have become a   8   of "relationship currency" for teens.

"These images are    9  as a part of or instead of sexual activity, or as a way of starting or  10  a relationship with a significant other," she said. "And they are also passed  11   to friends for their entertainment value, as a joke or for   12  ."

"The desire for risk-taking and sexual exploration during the teenage years   13   with a constant connection via mobile devices creates a 'perfect storm' for sexting," said Lenhart.

"Teenagers have always grappled with issues around sex and   14   , but their coming-of-age mistakes transgressions have never been so easily   15   and stored for others to see," she added.

The survey found that teens with unlimited text messaging plans were more likely to receive "sexts"   16   images of people they know. About 75 percent of mobile phone owning teens have unlimited plans.

Among this group, Pew said 18 percent reporting receiving "sexts"    17   with eight percent of teens on    18   data plans and three percent of teens who pay per message.

According to Pew, 58 percent of 12-year-olds own a mobile phone and 83 percent teens aged 17   19    .

Pew noted that a number of US states are grappling with how to  20   "sexting" among minors and some legislatures(立法機關) have stepped in to consider laws that would downgrade charges from felonies(重罪) to misdemeanors(輕罪).

Pew conducted telephone interviews with 800 teens aged 12 to 17 and their parents between June 26 and September 24.

解析:

本文使用一些有力的數(shù)據(jù)通過一項調查介紹了一種現(xiàn)在青少年之間互相發(fā)送性短信的社會現(xiàn)象。完成此次完形填空時,注重行文邏輯和青少年的心理活動特征是順利成功的關鍵。

1. A 考查邏輯思維能力。第一段里的那項調查說的非常明確,調查的對象就是12到17歲的青少年。故選擇A項。

2. D 這一段是the Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project的一個調查結果,當然是“根據(jù)”這個調查得出:4%的這個年齡群的擁有手機的青少年曾經(jīng)發(fā)送過有關自己的帶有性暗示的圖片。故用D項。

3. B 考查介詞的含義和用法。短信當然是發(fā)給“另外”的一個人的。也就是another。Other后往往接一個名詞的復數(shù);others是個代詞,其后不可能再有名詞。The other指的是:兩者中的另外一個。意思上ACD三項都不合適。

4. C 考查形容的含義詞和邏輯關系。語境是:這項調查發(fā)現(xiàn),男孩和女孩都有可能發(fā)送一些帶有暗示性的圖片給另外的人,而年齡較大的則更可能忙于發(fā)性短信。這要把握青少年的心理特點,一般來說年齡大的,膽子更大些。故用C項。

5. A 此題看似考查的是介詞的含義和用法,實質上是考查text的用法。學生們往往只知道text是名詞,意思是:文本,課文。而它在這兒根據(jù)上下文的意思和一般的常識可知是:發(fā)短信。故選A項,表示通過這種方式,相當于:by means of……。

6. B 此題的最具有迷惑性的是D項,然而我們知道,mail是郵寄的意思,合理的用法應該是:mail…to…,然而文中沒有這樣的字眼。根據(jù)常識,有發(fā)短信,就有接短信。再者,這里的“接”不是“接受”,而是“接到”。故用B項。

7. B 考查反身代詞。因主語是4%的12歲的青少年,是復數(shù),故這兒使用themselves。

8. D 考查近義詞的名詞詞義的辨析及語義之間的邏輯關系。這句的語境是:對于青少年來說,發(fā)送帶有性暗示的圖片已經(jīng)變成了一種溝通關系的“型式”(form),而不是“習慣”(habit),更不是“系統(tǒng)”(system)和“方法”(method)。最容易讓人上當?shù)腁項和D項,然而根據(jù)我知道的常識,habit往往表示:個人的生活習慣;method則表示:有一定的理論基礎的一整套的方法。故用D項。

9. A 檢測的是動詞詞義的準確記憶與識別。既然是青少年之間相互發(fā)的圖片,當然就是彼此“分享”(share)了。別的三項語意上都不符合邏輯。

10.C 同上一題一樣,此題除了檢測的是動詞詞義的準確記憶與識別外,還有詞形及用法的考查。A項remain是系動詞,其后常接形容詞;而BD項的詞義都是“得到”的意思。故選擇C項

11.A 考查的是動詞短語的詞義和用法。由上一題的分析我們得知此空填上具有“傳遞”、“傳送”之意的動詞的被動形式,然而這四個動詞短語只有pass along有這樣的意思。具有迷惑性的是B項,但它表示“經(jīng)過”、“路過”的意思。

12.B 考查名詞近義詞詞義的辨析。由第10題的分析我們知道此空需填上和joke意思相近的名詞,而這四項里AD兩項同義,都是“高興”之意;C項的意思是“興奮、激動”;只有B項表示“玩樂”、“好玩”之意。故B項正確。

13.C 此題考查動詞的詞義及用法。語境是:倫哈特說:“青少年時期有冒險和性探索的欲望,加上移動設備可以保持實時聯(lián)系,這些條件創(chuàng)造了互發(fā)性短信的‘完美風暴’。” 分析句子結構我們得知said的賓語從句的主語是the desire,謂語動詞是creates,賓語是storm,而      with a constant connection via mobile devices根據(jù)語境只能是定語,又因為此四詞中只有combine表示“把….和….結合起來”之意,與語境中的“加上”意思相符,combine的邏輯主語是句子的主語the desire,他們之間是被動關系,所以我們用動詞的過去分詞作后置定語,相當于定語從句:which is combined with constant connection via mobile devices.故選擇C項。

14.D 考查上下文之間的邏輯思路的理清能力。語境是:青少年總在有關性和情感關系的問題上掙扎,但他們青少年時期所犯的錯誤和越軌行為從未像現(xiàn)在這樣如此容易地被傳播并被保存下來供別人‘分享’。在第六段里就提到青少年發(fā)性短信已經(jīng)變成了關系疏通的一種方式。至四個詞只有D項的意思是“關系”。故我們選擇D項。

15.A 考查動詞詞義的準確記憶。由上一題得知,此空應該填上表示“傳播”之意的動詞。B項的意思:轉變;form的意思是:形成;switch的意思是:轉換。故A項正確。

16.A 考查的是動詞近義詞的辨析。根據(jù)語境:調查發(fā)現(xiàn),那些訂制無限量短信套餐計劃的青少年更容易收到含有他們所認識的人的圖片的性短信。約75%擁有手機的青少年訂制了無限短信套餐計劃,我們分析此處應是表示包含之意的動詞的現(xiàn)在分詞。A. containing:包含,含有(元素);B. concluding:得出結論;C. including:包括(整體);D. concerning:關于,牽涉到。故A為正確答案。

17.B 考查非謂語動詞的用法。根據(jù)語境:18%的人稱自己曾收到性短信,而在訂制限量短信套餐計劃的青少年中,這一比例僅有8%,在每條短信單獨付費的青少年中,只有3%,我們發(fā)現(xiàn)此處需填上表示“比較起來”,也就是compared with。主要是因為compare的邏輯主語是18 percent,它們之間是被動關系,需用過去分詞。故選擇B項

18.A 也是考查非謂語動詞的。由上一題的分析我們知道,此空的應該填上表示“受限制的”之意的詞,也就是表示被動關系的過去分詞limited,他的邏輯主語是data,它們之間也是被動關系。故選擇A項。

19.C 考查動詞的省略替代。語境是:根據(jù)皮尤調查中心的數(shù)據(jù),12歲的青少年中有58%的人有手機,而在17歲的青少年中,這一比例為83%。意思是說此處填上表示83%的17歲的青少年和58%的12歲的青少年一樣擁有手機。此四個詞中能代表這個意思的只有do。故選擇C項。

20.B 考查動詞短語。語境是:皮尤調查中心指出,美國很多州都在試圖解決未成年人發(fā)送性短信的問題,一些立法機構也介入其中,表示將考慮修改法律,把對這一行為的指控從重罪降為輕罪。此空填上表示“解決”,do with也是解決的意思,但是它跟what搭配;deal with剛好與how搭配。故選擇B項。
