15．"I can't live without my mobile phone!"is what I often hear people say as they talk about how mobiles have become an essential part of their lives．
The all so common sight of heads bent，eyes staring at mobile screens and fingers busy tapping away repeats itself across major cities around the world．Whenever there is a moment to spare while on the train，taxi or waiting in a queue，people busy themselves with their mobile phones．
Some people believe our unhealthy obsession with mobile phones is destroying how we appreciate the little things in life or miss the moments that matter．The truth is that technology overall should be seen as just a tool to improve our lives．
Mobile phones have certainly had a great influence on our lives，but I truly believe it is for the better．
It's changed the way we communicate，whether for work or play．We are now less constrained（限制）by time and geographical location．With my mobile phone，I can dial into conference calls while stuck in a traffic jam，or reply to urgent e-mails while on the go．I can send a text message or share photos and videos with friends who aren't living in the same country．My phone calendar keeps my life organized，and even Facebook，Twitter，and instant messaging are now accessible from mobile phones!
The mobile revolution isn't just changing the lives of urbanities （都市人） like myself．I know of a young Bangladeshi woman named Shompa Akhter who is crazy about fashion and design．She dreamt about starting her own business and she did just that，opening a shop in Kushtia featuring her own creations．Dealing with supplies in different towns was a problem for Shompa---purchase orders had to either be hand delivered or mailed out to supplies．Shompa also found it tough publicizing （宣傳）her business to potential customers outside her town．But once she learnt to operate the mobile phone，she was addicted．The 25-year-old businesswoman now stays in touch easily with her suppliers．Mobile e-mail is a blessing in her life．
Who would have thought that mobility could bring about such enormous change？It shouldn't really be a surprise though．

分析 手機對人們的生活影響巨大，有人甚至說"沒有手機就活不下去"．手機對人們生活固然有不利
影響，但它同時帶來的巨大好處也是顯而易見的．
解答 51-55DACDD
51．D 目的意圖題．通讀文章第一段和第二段可知，作者描述了手機對人們生活產(chǎn)生的巨大影響：人們高呼沒有手機就活不下去；不管在哪里，只要有時間，人們就會盯著手機等等．因此可以歸納出"在日常生活中，人們已經(jīng)沉迷于手機"這個結(jié)論，這也正是作者想要表達(dá)的．故選D．
52．A 態(tài)度觀點題．根據(jù)第四段Mobile phones have certainly had a great influence on our lives，but I truly believe it is for the better．和最后一段Who would have thought that mobility could bring about such enormous change？等語句可以看出來作者對于手機是支持的，認(rèn)為它給人們的生活帶來了極大的好處．故選A．
53．C 主旨大意題．通讀第五段可知，這一段主要描述的是手機的一些優(yōu)點．故選C．
54．D 推理判斷題．根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段的內(nèi)容可知，借助于手機和電子郵件，Shompa可以隨時與供貨商保持聯(lián)系，做生意容易多了．故選D．
55．D 篇章結(jié)構(gòu)題．分析全文可知作者先談到了手機的壞處，后面又分析的是手機的優(yōu)點．這是比較不同的觀點．故選D．
點評 人物故事類閱讀理解文章是高考英語常考材料之一．這類文章一般可分為人物傳記和短篇故事兩類．這兩類閱讀材料一般較長，即詞數(shù)多，而且命題也較多，特別是推理判斷題和事實細(xì)節(jié)題多．在做此類閱讀理解題時往往是材料看得懂，題目不好做的感覺．因此，在閱讀材料時要重點放在事情發(fā)展的過程和結(jié)果上，注意把握事件的發(fā)展進程及人物之間的關(guān)系，細(xì)節(jié)與主題的關(guān)系，用以說明人物性格特點的事實、作者的態(tài)度等，這些內(nèi)容往往是推理判斷題的命題點．至于事實細(xì)節(jié)題的解答，同學(xué)們切忌想當(dāng)然或者憑印象，一定要找到文章中的原句，和題干進行比較，再做出正確選擇．
