Office workers and young people are walking like pensioners (領(lǐng)退休金者) as they check s and messages.Scientists have found mobile phones make us walk more slowly, with modest steps, to avoid obstacles. The lead author of the study said the walk is similar to that of someone in their eighties. Researchers found people writing a text message walk more than twice as slowly as those without a phone, finding it harder to stay in a straight line and lift their feet 18 per cent higher above a pavement edge. Their steps are more than a third shorter, as they rely on their restricted vision to avoid falling over while distracted by their phone.The scientists examined 252 separate participants walking while reading a text message, writing one, speaking on their phone or without their phone at all. Writing a text is the most demanding activity, causing people to look down at their phone 46 per cent more, and 45 per cent longer, than when reading a message. This led people to walk 118 per cent more slowly than when they were without their phone. People walked almost a third more slowly while reading a text and 19 per cent while talking on the phone.Smart phones were found to prevent people from walking in a straight line, putting them at greater risk of colliding (碰撞) with other people, cars or street lamps. This increased the need to slow down and take more careful steps.John Timmis said, The idea for this study came from following someone walking down the street in the afternoon, who was walking as if he had had several drinks. I thought it was a bit early for that, then walked up alongside him and saw that he was on his phone. Simply being on the phone changes the way people walk.28.

Those writing a text message.C. Those reading a text message D. Those speaking on their phones30. What made people with phones take more careful steps?A. The chance of possible accidents. B. The need to walk straight.C. The traffic jams during rush hours. D. The desire for using their phones.31. Which can be a suitable title for the text?A. Mobile Phone Causing Danger to People’s Health.B. Mobile Phone Changing the Way People Walk.C. A New Finding about Using Mobile Phones.D. No Checking Emails and Messages While Walking.【答案】28. C 29. B 30. A 31. B【解析】【分析】本文是說明文。一邊走路一邊玩手機的人走起路來像老人。研究表明，由于手機占據(jù)了那些玩手機的人的大部分注意力，因此這些人在走路的時候步幅更小，并且他們也更加小心?！?8題詳解】詞句猜測題。根據(jù)上文“Scientists have found mobile phones make us walk more slowly(科學家發(fā)現(xiàn)，手機讓我們走得更慢)”和下文“to avoid obstacles.(為了避免障礙)”可推斷，人們走路看手機，為了避免障礙，走的更慢，步子更小，故劃線詞與C項“small”意思相近。故選C?！?9題詳解】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段第二、三句“Writing a text is the most demanding activity, causing people to look down at their phone 46 per cent more, and 45 per cent longer, than when reading a message. This led people to walk 118 per cent more slowly than when they were without their phone. (寫一篇課文是要求最高的活動。導致人們低頭看手機的時間比看短信時多46%，長45%。這導致人們走路的速度比沒有手機時慢118%)”可知，寫短信是最費力的活動，也是最費時的，因此這類人走路最慢，故選B?！?0題詳解】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段第一句“Smart phones were found to prevent people from walking in a straight line, putting them at greater risk of colliding (碰撞) with other people, cars or street lamps. (研究發(fā)現(xiàn)， 智能手機可以阻止人們走直線，使他們更容易撞到其他人、汽車或路燈。) ”可知，玩手機讓人無法直線行走，因此有撞到別人、車輛或者路燈的危險，因此推斷可能發(fā)生事故的意外需要那些走路玩手機的人更小心，故選A?！?1題詳解】主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段第一句“Smart phones are dramatically changing the way we walk down the street.
