In the case of mobile phones, change is everything. Recent research indicates that the mobile phone is changing not only our culture, but our very bodies as well.
First, let’s talk about culture. The difference between the mobile phone and its parent, the fixed-line phone, is you get whoever answers it. This has several implications. The most common one, however, and perhaps the thing that has changed our culture forever, is the "meeting" influence.[13]People no longer need to make firm plans about when and where to meet. Twenty years ago, a Friday night would need to be arranged in advance.[13]Now, however, a night out can be arranged on the run. Texting changes people as well. In their paper "Insights into the Social and Psychological Effects of SMS Text Messaging", two British researchers distinguished between two types of mobile phone users: the "talkers" and the "texters"—those who prefer voice to text message and those who prefer text to voice. They found that the mobile phone’s individuality and privacy gave texters the ability to express a whole new outer personality. Texters were likely to report that their family would be surprised if they were to read their texts.
Another scientist wrote of the changes that mobiles have brought to body language. There are two kinds that people use while speaking on the phone. There is the "speakeasy": the head is held high, in a self-confident way, chatting away.[15]And there is the "spacemaker": these people focus on themselves and keep out other people.
12. What does recent research indicate about the mobile phone?
13. What may people do when they plan to meet nowadays?
14. What do we learn from the passage about the texts sent by texters?
15. According to the passage, who is afraid of being heard while talking on the mobile?
选项
A、The texts are the revealing of the texters’ characters.
B、The texts are well written by the texters.
C、The texts are unacceptable by others except the texter.
D、The texts are shocking to others and the texter himself.
答案
A
解析
录音提到,移动电话的个体性与隐私性使得发手机短信的人可以表达一种全新的外在个性,这样的短信内容如果让发短信者的家人得知可能会令他们很震惊。A中的revealing对应录音中的express,而characters则对应录音中的personality,符合“同义替换”的解题原则。故A为正确答案。
