考查动词辨析。A. making制造，做；B. changing改变，变化；C. spending度过，花费；D. using使用，利用。根据下文作者提到的4点内容，可知“电话正在改变我们的生活比任何其他技术都多。”故选B。

【2】句意：同样，更多的道路发生交通事故。

考查名词辨析。A. names姓名；B. lights灯；C. signs标志，信号；D. accidents事故。根据上文On the road, drivers may call his/her friends or relatives.（在路上，司机可以打电话给他的朋友或亲戚。）结合常识可知“打电话可能发生更多的交通事故。”故选D。

【3】句意：她被困在里面，试图打救护车的电话。

考查动词辨析。A. fetched (去)拿来；(去)请来；B. bought买；C. gave给；D. brought带…到某处，带来。短语bring sth. to sb.：把某物带给某人；本句是定语从句，先行词the call，关系代词that做定语从句的主语，从句意思是“那个电话带救护车到她那个地方”，故选D。
