高二10份月考英语试卷 第一卷 阅读理解 第一节 (共15小题，每题3分，满分45分) 阅读下列短文，从所给答案中选出最佳选项。 A By todays standards, my mobile phone is pretty rubbish. Its a Nokia 1616. If that doesnt mean much to you (its not the kind of phone you see advertised on television), all you need to know is that its a small, not very heavy device with which you can send and receive telephone calls and text messages. It also has a very handy torch on the top for when you cant find your keys, or when you drop something on the floor in the cinema. Other than that, my phone doesnt do much. Well, it has an alarm, and it probably has a calculator and things like that, but its nothing compared to a smartphone. Why would I want one of those? I have often been told that the big advantage of having a smartphone is that you can do everything with them! But when was the last time you saw someone doing everything with a smartphone? Okay, so they may have an endless list of functions, but generally they are used for checking social networking sites, playing games, and receiving and replying to emails. Im happy just doing all of those things at home on my laptop. As far as I can tell, the best thing about having a smartphone is that you can be connected to the Internet all the time. Dont get me wrong, I love the internet, but I just dont see the point of constantly being online. I cant remember the last time I received a Facebook update which was so very urgent that I had to read it as soon as it appeared, and I cant imagine ever having a job which was so important that I would need to read work-related emails immediately. I would think that if someone needed me urgently, they would just ring me rather than send an email. And my trusty Nokia can manage that. One of the most peculiar effects of the smartphone is, in my opinion, the newly-found addiction to maps and navigation (导航) systems. Is there anything more boring than knowing exactly where you are all of the time?! How do you get to know an area if you dont get lost there
