The mobile phone has been a part of our lives since the 1980s. It enables us to stay in contact with our family and friends at all times and in most areas. However, because of the quick acceptance and extensive usage of mobiles in our lives, we have missed out on an important step, namely, the appropriate (恰當(dāng)?shù)?use.
Driving a car  
Do not use your phone while you are driving ! You could concentrate on your conversation and forget to look where you are going, or you could take your eyes off the road to look at the phone’s display or to press in a number. Either way, you could cause a terrible accident.
In a restaurant
There is probably nothing more annoying than a diner receiving or making a call near you when you are in a restaurant. The icy glares you receive should be warning enough that it is not appreciated. Turn you phone off and enough that it is not appreciated. Turn you phone off and use your message service to return calls after you leave.
At the cinema
Do not give way to the desire to call a friend if the film is boring, or if you want to find out what happens. You could become the target of all the angry cinema customers.
At the theatre
There is no more icy glare than that of a theatre goer who has paid a lot of money to see a show and hears your phone playing a tone. It goes without saying that you will be seen as a socially unacceptable person in this situation.
In hospitals
This is probably the most important place to make sure your phone is switched off. Your phone can disturb life-saving electronic equipment in hospitals, so it is necessary that your phone is switched off before you enter.
On planes
Your phone might disturb navigational equipment and cause a horrible accident so you should switch it off before boarding a plane

  1. 1.

    According to the passage, the most annoying thing in a restaurant is that ______

    1. A.
      you receive icy glares
    2. B.
      a nearby diner is answering a phone call
    3. C.
      you have to use the message service
    4. D.
      you can not return calls until after you leave
  2. 2.

    Which of the following statements is NOT true ?

    1. A.
      Theatre goers will not give you icy glares when they hear your phone
    2. B.
      When switched on in hospitals, mobile phones could endanger patients’ lives
    3. C.
      Passengers should switch off the phones before getting on a plane
    4. D.
      Pressing in phone numbers when driving could lead to traffic accidents
  3. 3.

    The passage mainly describes ______

    1. A.
      different functions of mobile phones
    2. B.
      the overuse of mobile phones on some occasions
    3. C.
      some areas where message service is forbidden
    4. D.
      the proper use of mobile phones in some public places
  4. 4.

    1. A.
      make something stronger
    2. B.
      carry on
    3. C.
      pay particular attention
    4. D.
      think something clearly
BADC
1.本題考查理解文章細(xì)節(jié)的能力。從In a restaurant 中的“There is probably nothing more annoying than a diner receiving or making a call near you when you are in a restaurant.”可知最佳答案為B項(xiàng)。
2.本題考查根據(jù)文章相關(guān)信息進(jìn)行正誤判斷的能力。從At the theatre中的“There is no more icy glare than that of a theatre goer who has paid a lot of money to see a show and hears your phone playing a tone.”可知A項(xiàng)表述與此不相符, 故A項(xiàng)符合題干要求。從In hospitals 中的“Your phone can disturb life-saving electronic equipment in hospitals, so it is necessary that your phone is switched off before you enter. ”可知B項(xiàng)表述正確；從 On planes 中的“…so you should switch it off before boarding a plane. ”可知C項(xiàng)表述正確；從 Driving a car 中的“…or you could take your eyes off the road to look at the phone’s display or to press in a number. Either way, you could cause a terrible accident. ”可知C項(xiàng)表述正確；
3.本題考查歸納主旨大意的能力。第一段中的句子“However, because of the quick acceptance and extensive usage of mobiles in our lives, we have missed out on an important step, namely, the appropriate (恰當(dāng)?shù)?use.” 指出本文的主旨，然后再分別介紹在不同場(chǎng)合使用手機(jī)的禮儀。其他選項(xiàng)都是文章的細(xì)節(jié)而不是主題。
4.本題考查根據(jù)文中細(xì)節(jié)猜測(cè)短語(yǔ)含義的能力。根據(jù)“concentrate on” 后面句子的意思：忘記看看你正往何處去，或者您可能把目光移開(kāi)看手機(jī)或按鍵盤(pán)，由此可以推測(cè)的意思為“集中精力于；專心于”。故C項(xiàng)為最佳答案。

When I asked my daughter which item she would keep: the phone, the car, the cooker, the computer, the TV, or her boyfriend, she said, “the phone”. Personally, I could do without the phone entirely, which makes me unusual. Because the telephone is changing our lives more than any other piece of technology.
Point 1. The telephone creates the need to communicate, in the same way more roads create more traffic. My daughter comes home from school at 4:00 pm and then spends an hour on the phone talking to the every people she has been at school with all day. If the phone did not exist, would she have anything to talk about?
Point 2. The mobile phone means that we are never alone.”The mobile saved my life,” says Crystal Johnstone. She had an accident in her Volvo on the A45 between Otley and Skipton. Trapped inside, she managed to make the call that brought the ambulance to her rescue.
Point 3. The mobile removes our secret. It allows marketing manager of Haba Deutsch, Carl Nicolaisen, to ring his sales staff all round the world at any time of day to ask where they are, where they are going, and how their last meeting went.
Point 4. The telephone separates us. Antonella Bramanate in Rome says, “We worked in separate offices but I could see him through the window. It was easy to get his number. We were so near---but we didn’t meet for the first two weeks!”
Point 5. The telephone allows us to reach out beyond our own lives. Today we can talk to several complete strangers simultaneously（同聲翻譯地）on chat lines (at least my daughter does. I wouldn’t know what to talk about). We can talk across the world. We can even talk to astronauts (if you know any) while they’re space-walking. And, with the phone line hooked up to the computer, we can access the Internet, the biggest library on Earth.
【小題1】Point 1 mainly tells us that __________.

A．The writer’s daughter enjoys talking on the phone
B．More roads create more traffic
C．phones create the need to communication
D．it’s easy to communicate through phones
【小題2】People’s attitude towards mobile phone is that it _________.
A．helps people deal with the emergency
B．brings convenience as well as little secret to people
C．is so important and should be encouraged
D．is part of people’s life
【小題3】It is possible to talk to several complete strangers at the same time through_____.
A．the TV screenB．a(chǎn) fax machineC．the InternetD．the phone
【小題4】Which is the most suitable title for the passage?
A．Phone PowerB．Kinds of Phones
C．How to Use PhoneD．Advantages of Phones

Your mobile phone rings and instead of the usual electronic signals it’s playing your favourite music．A friend sends your favourite song to cheer you up．One day，a record company might forward new records and music videos to your phone．
The mobile business is getting into the music business．For the moment，the interest is in pleasant ring tones，but some companies are hoping to take full advantage of the next generation of mobile phones—all purpose gadgets that blend phone，personal stereo，video player and Internet browser into one．
Finally，record companies might send new records and videos to fans who register their cell phone numbers．
The fans could pass music or songs along to friends—a kind of musical trading card．Unlike Internet tracks，mobile downloads would be easy for record companies to control，said former record industry official Ralph，Simon，who is now chairman of Yourmobile，based in Santa Monic，California．
“If you pass a song along to other phones through a network，each phone can be charged，” said Simon．“It’s like going through toll gate (收費(fèi)站)．There’s more possibility for copyright control than there is on the Internet．”
Massachusetts-based Converse is offering service in Portugal and the Netherlands that lets people record tunes on their voice mail or send music as presents to friends．Finally，people might be able to sing karaoke and pass them along．The company is sure that people will want to use music to reach out and touch someone．
“A mobile phone is not a listening machine，and you’ll be disappointed if you think you can change it into a radio，” said Ouzel，a creative manager for Converse in Israel．“But if someone sends you a song while you’re on vacation，you appreciate the feeling．”
72．The underlined word “blend” in the second paragraph most probably means _____．
A．send                B．come               C．mix                 D．compare

“Mobile phone killed my man,” screamed one headline last year. Also came claims that an unpublished study had found that mobile phones could cause memory loss. And a British newspaper devoted its front page to a picture supposedly showing how mobile phones could heat the brain.
For anyone who uses a mobile phone, these are worrying times. But speak to the scientists whose work is the focus of these scares and you hear a different story.
One of the oddest effects comes from the now famous “memory loss” study. Alan Preece and his colleagues at the University of Bristol placed a device that imitated the microwave radiation of mobile phones to the left ear of volunteers. The volunteers were good at recalling words and pictures they had been shown on a computer screen. Preece says he still can’t comment on the effects of using a mobile phone for years on end. But he rules out the suggestion that mobile phones have an immediate effect on our cognitive（認(rèn)識(shí)的）abilities. “I’m pretty sure there is no effect on short-term memory,” he says.
Another expert, Tattersall, remarked that his latest findings have removed fears about memory loss. One result, for instance, suggests that nerve cell synapses（神經(jīng)元突觸） exposed to microwaves become more — rather than less — receptive to undergoing changes linked to memory formation.
An even happier outcome would be that microwaves turned out to be good for you. It sounds crazy, but a couple of years ago a team led by William Adey at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in California found that mice exposed to microwaves for two hours a day were less likely to develop brain tumours when given a cancer-causing chemical.
“If it doesn’t certainly cause cancer in animals and cells, then it probably isn’t going to cause cancer in humans,” says William. And while there’s still no absolute evidence that mobile phone use does damage your memories or give you cancer, the conclusion is: don’t be afraid.
【小題1】 Mobile phone users are worried because ______.

A．they are not sure whether mobile phones can cause memory loss
B．it’s said that mobile phones have a lot of side effects
C．one headline reported “Mobile phone killed my man”
D．a(chǎn) British newspaper showed mobile phones could heat the brain
【小題2】 According to this passage, we can know that _____.
A．the mobile phone is a most wonderful invention
B．there’s no need to worry about the radiation from mobile phones
C．something must be done to stop people using mobile phones
D．mobile phone companies shouldn’t cheat customers
【小題3】 What would be the best title for this passage? ______..w.^w.k.&s.5*u.c.#om.高.考.資.源.網(wǎng)
A．New Mobile Phones.B．Special Mobile Phones.

Britain’s symbolic red phone boxes have become out of date in the age of the mobile, but villages across the country are stepping in to save them, with creative intelligence. Whether as a place to exhibit art, poetry, or even as a tiny library, hundreds of phone boxes have been given a new life by local communities determined to preserve a typical part of British life. In Waterperry, a small village near Oxford, the 120 residents have filled the phone box next to the old house with a pot of flowers, piles of gardening and cooking magazines, and stuck poems on the walls.
They took control of the phone box when telecoms operator BT said it was going to pull it down, an announcement that caused such dissatisfaction that one local woman threatened to chain herself to the box to save it. “I’d have done it, “ insisted Kendall Turner. “It would have been heartbreaking for the village. “ Local councilor Tricia Hallam, who came up with the idea for the phone box’s change, said quite a few people would have joined her, adding, “ We couldn’t let it go because it’s a British symbol.”
Only three feet by three feet wide, and standing 2.51-meter tall, the phone boxes were designed by Giles Gilbert Scott in 1936 for the 25th anniversary of the reign of King George V. Painted in “Post Office red” to match the post boxes, they were once a typical image of England and the backdrop(背景) to millions of tourist photographs.
Eight years ago there were about 17,000 across Britain, but today, in a country where almost everybody has a mobile phone, 58 percent are no longer profitable and ten percent are only used once a month. “On average, maintaining them costs ￡800 a year per phone box-about ￡44 million annually,” said John Lumb, general manager for BT Payphones.
【小題1】Some red phone boxes in Britain have been used for ____.
a. selling flowers    b. cooking   c. reading  d. exhibiting art or poetry

A．a(chǎn), bB．c, dC．a(chǎn),b,cD．b,c,d
【小題2】Why do the villagers want to keep the red phone boxes?
A．Because millions of people visit Britain to see the red phone boxes.
B．Because the local people could earn a lot of money from the red phone boxes.
C．Because the red phone boxes have already become a symbol of Britain.
D．Because the red phone boxes may be useful for some people in emergency.
【小題3】What is the color of the British post boxes according to the passage?
A．GreenB．RedC．BlackD．Yellow
【小題4】What is John Lumb’s attitude towards pulling down the red phone boxes?
A．supportiveB．OpposedC．NeutralD．Indifferent.

I am a senior high school student. In my opinion, the classroom is place for students to gain knowledges. So quietness is badly need for us to learn in the classroom. But recently some students have brought their mobile phones to the classroom and we often hear of the ring of mobile phones. Some of them even wasted precious time in class type short messages on the mobile phones. To keep the classroom quietly and make us focus more on their studies, I suggest that mobile phones shouldn’t be used in the classroom. At least, they should be used where we are having a class.
