【答案解析】[听力原文]32-35
In the case of mobile phones，change is everything．[32]{{U}}Recent research indicates that the mobile phone is changing not only our culture，but our very bodies as well.{{/U}}
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．[33]{{U}}People no longer need to made firm plans about when and where to meet{{/U}}．Twenty years ago，a Friday night would need to be arranged in advance．[33]{{U}}Now，however．a night out can be arranged on the run{{/U}}．Texting changes people as well．In theft paper“In— sights 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．[34]{{U}}They found that the mobile phone's individuality and privacy gave texters the ability to express a whole Flew outer personality．Texters were likely to report that their family would be surprised if they were to read their texts．{{/U}}
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．[35]{{U}}And them is the“spacemaker”：these people focus on themselves and keep out other people．{{/U}}
32．What does recent research indicate about the mobile phone?
[解析] 细节题。短文开头提到，移动电话不仅改变了我们的文化，而且也改变了我们的身体。由此可知，C为正确答案。
[点睛] 四个选项都是描述it造成的影响，在听音时要格外注意。对于慢热型学生，如果错过了这句话，还可以通过短文后来出现的culture，body等词来解答本题。D在文中有提及，但属于答非所问。
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】[听力原文]
What may people do when they plan to meet nowadays?
[解析] 推断题。文章提到，人们现在不再需要事先定好会面的时间和地点……晚上的活动临时安排也行。听到其中的任何一个句子都不难得出，B为正确答案。
[点睛] 四个选项都是关于会面的地点、时间等安排，因此在听到meet或meeting时要格外留意。C是强干扰项，文中说的“人们不再需要事先定好会面的确切时间和地点”并非表示“他们不需要决定会面的时间和地点”，而只是强调可以临时决定，故C不正确。A与D意义相近，可同时排除。过于绝对化的选项一般不会是答案。
【正确答案】
A

What do we learn from the passage about the texts sent by texters?
[解析] 推断题。文中提到，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。由此推断，A为正确答案。
[点睛] 由选项可知，问题与texts及texter有关。A中的revealing对应文中的express，而characters则对应文中的personality，符合“同义替换”的解题原则。
【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】[听力原文]
According to the passage，who is afraid of being heard while talking on the mobile?
[解析] 文中提到两类人：speakeasy与spacemaker，并说后者是讲电话时需要有自己的空间，不让别人听到的那一类人。故C正确。
[点睛] 四个选项都描述人物，听音时如果听到则应在选项旁边做相应的记录，以免答非所问。短文的首尾句常为考点。符合“听到什么选什么”的解题原则。题目询问的是，在“讲”电话时谁害怕被听见，而发短信者(D)根本就没“讲”电话，因此可排除D。
