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本题考查学生的读图能力。图中的playing games的2014年那一列最长，所以我们选C。
2. D本题考查学生的读图能力和简单计算能力。In total表示总共，所以是求和，用加法进行计算，沟通功能在08年的四项数据分别是36%，26%，27%和9%，加起来一共是71%。所以*选D。
3. D本题是正误题。A选项看电影不是增长的最多，是玩游戏和上网增长得最多。B选项应该是11%。C选项不是watching movies而是playing games.
4. B本题是考查细节题。注意这题作比较的是2014年，不是2008年。A和C选项错了watching movies 11%比surfing the Internet 13%少。D选项texting 9%比surfing the Internet 13 %少。所以我们*选B，chatting 16%和listening to music 14%都比surfing the Internet 13%多。
5. A本题是考查推断题。A选项是report报告，我们从第二段开头London University researchers surveyed 1055 young people…可以判断这一题选A，因为大学是做科研的机构，所以这篇文章是一篇报告。B的story对应记叙文，文章要有记叙文六要素。C选项advertisement是广告，广告的呈现形式一般比较花俏，比如字体比较特别，而且会涉及价钱等。D选项argument是议论文，这篇文章不是呈现论点，而是以报告的形式给读者呈现手机使用的趋势。
