26、ws the average UK working day is between 9 and 10 hours,but 2 more hours is spent responding to sending work emails,or making work calls.”可知,英国的平均工作日,使用智能手机后为11到12小时。故选A项。2.C根据第二段中的“A study suggests that,by giving you access to emails at all times,the smartphone adds as much as two hours to your wor
27、king day.”可知,英国人用智能手机后工作更长的时间。故选C项。3.B根据最后一段中的“However,there are disadvantages.cannot get away from work.”可知,智能手机也有缺点,许多公司希望他们的员工能够一天24小时待机,使得人们无法摆脱工作。可以猜测出invaluable有“极为重要的”之意。故选B项。六、1.A2.F3.C4.B5.D七、1.C本空后的promote and aid communication是社交网络的“目的(purpose)”促进和帮助沟通。2.B根据上句中的promote and aid communicati

30、person)”沟通。13.B根据本空前的Without person-to-person communication以及本空后的have trouble speaking in public可知,没有了面对面的交流,我们会“失去(lose)”我们的语言技能,连当众讲话都会有困难。14.D根据本空前的more difficult可知,由于我们不“能(able)”读懂彼此的肢体语言,所以正常的辩论都会变得更加困难。15.B根据本空前的aids long-distance communication greatly和本空后的a stopping point可知,这两个分句之间为转折关系,故选but。
