Before that, I had no problems with using older phones the ones that can call and send messages, but hardly browse Internet. But in 2016 I made the change. While such
23、 a mini-computer made life easier, I could very well see why some people opt out of using them. They are distracting This is by far the biggest deal with smart phones, in my opinion. Just go outside and you will see it. Many are looking at their phones, not paying attention to the environment and in
24、teractions with others. Indeed, the new phones require attention frequently, and people are there to give it. Privacy concerns Because smart phones have high-end technology they can be called small computers. They have operating systems almost like your notebook. While this makes them most useful in
25、 real life, it also puts them at a privacy breach risk. It is possible for someone to put a virus on the smart phone the result can be terrible such as sending the stolen data to a hacker. Another thing is the location tracking the phones definitely make your whereabouts known even when you wouldnt
26、like. There is not much you can do but to stop using the smart phone, which sadly isnt an option for many anymore. Short battery life The need to charge the device all the time is present with any smart phone Im aware of. This is the downside of the small size and fine, computer-like technology insi
27、de them. In such a small package, the producers cannot install a bigger battery that would provide energy for long hours. At the same time, the performance requirements are bigger and bigger. This creates a dilemma not easily solved: to have high performance or long battery life. Choose one, both ar
28、e not achievable at the same time. As you see, there are some strong negatives about owning a smart phone. However, from my personal experience, there are a few good sides too. Less expensive messages and calls and digital maps are some of the benefits that made me change the old cell phone for a sm

31、cial for the users 7. What might the following paragraph talk about? A. The downsides of smartphones. B. Advantages of smart phones. C. Choice of smart phone versions. D. The battery problem of smart phones. 【答案】4-7 ACCB 【解析】这是一篇说明文。作者给我们列举了智能手机的三个缺点。 4.词义猜测题。根据第二段 They are distracting（它们会分散注意力） ，第三
32、段 Privacy concerns（隐私问题） ，第四段 Short battery life（电池寿命短）和最后一段“As you see, there are some strong negatives about owning a smart phone.” （如你所见，智能手机存在很多不利因 素）可知，在划线词组后，作者列举了智能手机的一些缺点。由此可推知，划线短语 opt out of 的意思是停止，因为人们看到了智能手机的这些缺点，所以人们停止使用智能手机。故选 A。 5.细节理解题。根据第三段可知，虽然这让智能手机在现实生活中发挥了最大的作用， 但也让用户面临隐私被侵犯的风险。
33、 有人有可能在智能手机上植入病毒其结果可能很糟 糕，比如将窃取的数据发送给黑客。由此可知，人们担心智能手机的一个因素是个人信息可 能会泄露出去。故选 C。 6.推理判断题。根据第四段“The need to charge the device all the time is present with any smart phone Im aware of.” （我所知道的任何一部智能手机都需要一直给手机充电。 ）和“In such a small package, the producers cannot install a bigger battery that would provide
34、energy for long hours.” （手机小，生产商无法安装更大的电池来提供长时间的能源。 ）可推知，操作智 能手机耗电快。故选 C。 7.推理判断题。根据最后一段：然而，从我个人的经验来看，也有一些好的方面。收发 短信便宜、 接打电话实惠， 还有数字地图， 这些促使我把旧手机换成智能手机。 由此可推知， 作者在接下来的段落中会讲述智能手机的优点。故选 B。 C Grandparents Answer a Call As a third-generation native of Brownsville, Texas, Mildred Garza never planned to m
35、ove away. Even when her daughter and son asked her to move to San Antonio to help with their children, she politely refused. Only after a year of friendly discussion did Ms. Garza finally say yes. That was four years ago. Today all three generations regard the move as a success, giving them a closer
36、 relationship than they would have had in separate cities. No statistics show the number of grandparents like Garza who are moving closer to adult children and grandchildren. Yet there is evidence suggesting that the trend is growing. Even ex-president Obamas mother-in-law, Marian Robinson, has agre
37、ed to leave Chicago and move into the White House to help care for her granddaughters. According to a study by , 83 percent of the people said Mrs. Robinsons decision will influence grandparents in the American family. Two-thirds believe more families will follow the example of Obamas family. “In th
38、e 1960s we were all a little wild and couldnt get away from home far enough or fast enough to prove we could do it on our own,” says Christine Crosby, publisher of Grand, a magazine for grandparents. “We now realize how important family is and how important it is to be near them, especially when you
39、re raising children.” Moving is not for everyone. Almost every grandparent wants to be with his or her grandchildren and is willing to make sacrifices, but sometimes it is wiser to say no and visit frequently instead. Having your grandchildren far away is hard, especially knowing your adult child is
40、 struggling, but giving up the life you know may be harder. 8. Why was Garzas move a success? A. It strengthened her family ties. B. It improved her living conditions. C.

44、ies.”可知这次 搬家让他们的家庭联系更加密切。故选 A。 9.细节理解题。根据第二段最后两句可知 83%的人认为 Mrs. Robinson 的决定会影响美 国家庭，2/3 的人认为更多家庭会效仿，所以多数人认为这是一种趋势。故选 D。 10.推理判断题。 根据第三段第一句可知那时的人们一心希望离家越远越好、 越快越好。 cant.enough 表示越越。故选 C。 11.推理判断题。第四段首句“Moving is not for everyone.”已经说明移居并非适合每一 个人， 再结合该段最后一句可知祖父母得知孩子们在异地艰苦的生活是很难过的， 但让他们 放弃自己熟悉的生活也许会更难
45、过， 所以推断出作者建议作选择时要慎重， 要以自己最大的 需求为衡量标准。故选 A。 D The Beagle Brigade Return to the United States from a trip abroad, and your luggage will get inspected by the Beagle Brigade, a team of beagles and their human partners. Working with human partners, the beagles sniff out potential threats to American agri
46、culture. An orange or apple, for example, might have a Mediterranean fruit fly. Hams could carry a disease such as hog cholera. These and other pests could destroy farmers crops and livestock. “Once we introduce something that is not part of the environment, there may not be any controls of it in th
47、e environment,” notes Lisa Davis at the National Dog Detector Training Center in Orlando, Florida. “The best thing for us to do is prevent it from coming across the border and becoming established.” When a beagle sniffs specific food smells, it signals its partners by sitting there. The human office
48、r then investigates. When the dog is right which happens 90 percent of the time it gets an edible(可食用的) treat. “The dog is not out there working,” explains Davis. “Its out there playing. Its a game to the dog.” The handlers give the beagles plenty of food and love. They make sure they get first-class medical attention, too. When the dogs finally retire after 9 to 11 years, they will find caring homes for them. Its a dogs life indeed! Their people partners work and study somewhat harder. As specialized quaran
