1． What is the modern conundrum the author has in mind?
A．You turn off your cellophane but forget to turn it back and miss important calls
B．You are too busy to make phone calls and miss important information
C．Too many calls are annoying, affecting your work efficiency
D．Too many calls are disturbing, producing serious noise pollution
1． A。分析：利用題干中的modern conundrum作為答案線索，這樣發(fā)現(xiàn)答案相關(guān)句：It’s a modern conundrum(難題): you’re too busy to be disturbed by incessant phone calls so you turn your cellophane off． But if you don’t remember to turn it back on when you’re less busy, you could miss some important calls． （該句大意說“在不忙的時(shí)候因?yàn)橥碎_機(jī)而錯(cuò)過重要的電話”）因此判斷A是答案。
2． According to paragraph 2, what could a bunch of behavior sensors and a clever piece of software do?
A．they could help store messages
B．they could distinguish important calls from unimportant ones
C．they could interrupt you when you are not busy來源：考試大
D．they could send messages instantly
2．C．分析：利用題干中的behavior sensors 和 clever software作為答案線索，這樣發(fā)現(xiàn)答案相關(guān)句：(第2段)A bunch of behavior sensors and a clever piece of software could do just that, by analyzing your behavior to determine if it’s a good time to interrupt you． （If built into a phone, the system may decide you’re too busy and ask the caller to leave a message or ring back later．） 借助劃線句子的大意“智能軟件和行動感應(yīng)器能通過分析你的行為來確定是否應(yīng)該打斷你”判斷C是答案?？碱}考察代詞的指代內(nèi)容：that 指代前面句子的內(nèi)容：If only the phone knew when it was wise to interrupt you, you wouldn’t have to turn it off at all． Instead it could let calls through during spells （一段時(shí)間）of relative inactivity（不活躍）． 這兩個(gè)句子也是說“通過智能技術(shù)判斷是否可以打斷你”，因此也判斷C是答案。
3． Which of the following is not included in paragraph 3 as a potential “busyness”signal?
A．whether the office door is open or not．來源：考試大
B．Whether there are people with the person in question or not
C．Whether the person is using the computer or not
D．Whether the person is bothered by a question or not．
3 D。用題干中的特征短語“busyness”signal作為答案線索，這樣發(fā)現(xiàn)答案相關(guān)句：The potential “busyness”signals they focus on included whether the office doors were left open or closed(與A一致), the time of day, if other people were with the person in question（與B一致）, how close they were to each other, and whether or not the computer was in use（與C一致）．因此只有D沒有被提到。

4． According to paragraph 4, what were the subjects required to do during the experiment?
A．to control the sensors and many other factors
B．to rate the degrees to which they could be interrupted
C．to read and analyze all the indicators來源：考試大
D．to decide which indicators were important statistics
4．B．分析：利用題干中的subjects（研究對象）作為答案線索，這樣發(fā)現(xiàn)答案相關(guān)句：（第4段）The sensors monitored these and many other factors while four subjects were at work． At random intervals, the subjects rated how interruptible they were on a scale ranging from “highly interruptible” to “highly not-interruptible”． (該劃線句內(nèi)容與B一致：對是否能被打斷工作作出評定)
5． Which of the following is not mentioned as strongly correlated with how interruptible they were?
A．working at the computer來源：考試大
B．talking over the telephone
C．repairing the keyboard
D．talking with people in the office來源：考試大
5． C。分析：問題句問“在決定“‘是否能夠被打斷’的因素中，下面哪項(xiàng)在文章中沒有被提到”，順著上一題的答案位置往下找，這樣發(fā)現(xiàn)了答案相關(guān)句：The model showed that using the keyboard, and talking on a landline（通訊電纜） (與A和B呼應(yīng))or to someone else in the office （與D呼應(yīng)）correlated most strongly with how interruptible the subjects judged themselves to be． 因此判斷C是答案。
