[社会生活型阅读理解(二)]
(限时：25分钟)
(一)
A tent can be one of the more costly items on your camping equipment
shopping list. It is definitely something that you need to consider
carefully.
By seeing a tent for real you will be able to get a better impression
of its size and construction in the traditional shop. However, the
downside is that, unless you are experienced，you may miss out some of
the details that the manufacturer's promotional material makes clear.
Cheap tents often look similar to the quality models they are
mimicking(模仿), but you can be sure that they use inferior(次的)
materials and probably have lower design standards.
Shop staff are often campers themselves. That means they usually can
give lots of advice. If a shop assistant agrees with your own conclusions,
that will be great; if they try to change your decision with a clear and
reasonable argument, then that will be worth considering; if they just try to bamboozle(欺骗) or even bully, you then walk away.
The Internet is a wonderful tool, and so long as you know how to make
the most of search engines and put in a little effort, you really have
the perfect answer waiting to be found. That answer will be different
for every camper as each of us has different needs. Don't be surprised
to see your favourite criticized somewhere, but if you see too much
criticism，then you had better start thinking again. No problem. You won't
have spent anything yet, so think of it positively as a large expense
is saved.
Probably the best approach, if you have the time, is to research tents
online and make a short list. Then try to inspect those tents at nearby
shops. Then you can make a final decision on where to buy your chosen
model based purely on total cost.

A smartphone is a mobile phone built on a mobile operating system,
with more advanced computing abilities than a common phone. The first
smartphones enabled the users to send and receive emails. Later models
added the functions of portable media players, pocket video cameras, and
GPS navigation units to form one multiuse device. Many modern smartphones also include touch screens and Web browsers that display Web
pages.
A recent report says we spend an average of two hours and 40 minutes
each day looking at a smartphone. That doesn't mean making calls, but
playing phone games and browsing the Web.
Nowadays we always find people checking emails in a restaurant,
taking a picture of the food when it arrives, or checking a message during
a conversation instead of traditional communication. It's no secret that
our life is being affected by our smartphones obsession.
However, this phenomenon has never been presented so vividly as in
the short YouTube film I Forgot My Phone. Despite only being online for
a few days, it's already been viewed more than 10.5 million times. Whether
it will be screened in the cinema remains to be seen.
Ironically, YouTube's data show that the site gets a billion views
per day from mobile devices, so a lot of those people watched it on their
phones.
The short film, written by and starring actress Charlene deGuzman,
shows groups of people in various social situations, the majority of whom
are absorbed in their phones instead of the world around them. To a certain extent, we all do it.
5．People prefer a smartphone to a common one, because the latter can
only help us ________.
A．check emails
B．send messages
C．find the destination
D．watch a video
6．The underlined word “obsession” in the third paragraph most
probably means “________”．
A．devotion B．contribution
C．addiction D．emotion
7．Which of the following is TRUE?
A．People spend an average of two hours and 40 minutes each day using
smartphones.
B．The film hasn't been put on in the cinema.
