Textingwithphotos,videos,emojis,reactiongifs,linksandevenvoicemessagescanbeamoreattractiveoption.(当然,这种转变在很大程度上是由于更多的交流选择:
用照片、视频、表情、反应礼物、链接甚至语音信息发短信可能是更具吸引力的选择。
)”和第四段第一句“Textingislightandfun,notnearlyasdemandingofyourattentionasaphonecall.(发短信既轻松又有趣,不像打电话那样需要你的注意力。
)”可以得知使用传统手机电话的习俗消失是因为人们有了更多的交流的选择,故选D项。
2.推理判断题。
根据倒数第二段““Thesharedfamilyphoneservedasananchorforhome,”saidLukeFernandez,aWeberStateUniversitycomputer-scienceprofessorandco-authorofBored,Lonely,Angry,Stupid:
FeelingsAboutTechnology,FromtheTelegraphtoTwitter.“Withsmartphones,wehavegainedmobilityandprivacy.Butthevalueofthehomehasbeendiminished,ashasitsabilitytoguideandmonitorfamilybehaviorandperhapsconnectfamiliesmoreclosely,”Fernandezsaid.(韦伯州立大学计算机科学教授、《无聊、孤独、愤怒、愚蠢:
对科技的感觉,从电报到推特》一书的合著者卢克·费尔南德斯(LukeFernandez)说:
“共享的家庭电话起到了家庭的锚定作用。
”有了智能手机,我们获得了移动性和隐私。
费尔南德斯说:
“但是这个家的价值已经被削弱了,它引导和监控家庭行为的能力也被削弱了,也许还能把家庭联系得更紧密。
”。
)”从Fernandez说的话中可以得知手机的使用影响了家庭关系。
故选D项。
3.主旨大意题。
根据第一段“Everyonehasaphoneintheirpocketnowadays,buthowoftendowereallyusethemfortheiroriginalpurpose-tomakeacall?
Telephonecultureisdisappearing.Whatbroughtustothismoment,andwhatareitseffects?
(如今,每个人的口袋里都有一部手机,但我们有多少次真正把它用于其最初的用途——打电话?
电话文化正在消失。
是什么把我们带到这一刻,它的影响是什么?
)”结合文章主要介绍了电话文化正在消失并分析了电话文化消失背后的原因以及影响。
可推知,整篇文章讲解了传统电话文化正在不断消失。
故选C项。
