問題詳情：

 Mobile phones are more important than ever in the daily lives of students, But how they use them has changed greatly in the past six years. While phones are still widely use for communication, a recent study has found that most students think talking on mobile phones is now old-fashioned.

London University researchers surveyed 1055 young people aged 13 to 18 about their mobile phone habits. The researchers divided mobile phone use into “communication” and “entertainment”. Communication included talking on the phone and writing messages using texting（短信）or chatting software. Entertainment was made up of playing games, watching movies, listening to music and surfing the Internet. The findings were then compared to a 2008 study, to see what changed. The results are shown below:

Perhaps most surprising is how little time students spend talking on their phones these days. Six years ago the average student spent 36% of their mobile phone time making or receiving calls. In 2014, only 10% of time was used for talking. When students use their phones to communicate, more and more often it is done by using chat software like qq or wechat.

“Communication is still an important function of mobile phones. But now mobile phones are being used more for entertainment than for communication,” said Dr Harry Lectre, the research leader.

【回答】

1. C本題考查學生的讀圖能力。圖中的playing games的2014年那一列最長，所以我們選C。

2. D本題考查學生的讀圖能力和簡單計算能力。In total表示總共，所以是求和，用加法進行計算，溝通功能在08年的四項數據分別是36%，26%，27%和9%，加起來一共是71%。所以*選D。

3. D本題是正誤題。A選項看電影不是增長的最多，是玩遊戲和上網增長得最多。B選項應該是11%。C選項不是watching movies而是playing games.

4. B本題是考查細節題。注意這題作比較的是2014年，不是2008年。A和C選項錯了watching movies 11%比surfing the Internet 13%少。D選項texting 9%比surfing the Internet 13 %少。所以我們*選B，chatting 16%和listening to music 14%都比surfing the Internet 13%多。

5. A本題是考查推斷題。A選項是report報告，我們從第二段開頭London University researchers surveyed 1055 young people…可以判斷這一題選A，因爲大學是做科研的機構，所以這篇文章是一篇報告。B的story對應記敘文，文章要有記敘文六要素。C選項advertisement是廣告，廣告的呈現形式一般比較花俏，比如字型比較特別，而且會涉及價錢等。D選項argument是議論文，這篇文章不是呈現論點，而是以報告的形式給讀者呈現手機使用的趨勢。
