Question

 Have you felt annoyed when a mobile phone rings during the class? Something must be done to stop this. Now in New York City, USA, a rule is carried out* in schools. Students can’t even bring mobile phones to school. Is it a good thing or not?

Anxious* parents say that mobile phones are an important tool* in holding New York City’s families together.

“I worry about it,” said Elizabeth Lorris Ritter, a mother of a middle school kid. “It’s necessary in our everyday life. We have a washing machine*, we have running water, and we have mobile phones. A number of Americans think mobile phones connect* them to children on buses, getting out from subways, walking through unknown* places.

 “I have her call me when she gets out school,” said Lindsay Walt, a schoolgirl’s mother. “No one in New York is going to let their children go to school without a mobile phone.

 What about the mobile phone owners, the students? Most of the students said that mobile phones were necessary and the mobile phone was like an extra* hand or foot for them.

 “I feel so bored,” said May Chom, 14. “There is also no way to listen to music on the way to school without my phone. It will be a really, really boring trip.

试题分析：这篇短文讲述了学校禁止孩子带手机上学的规定引起了很多家长和孩子的反对。父母认为没有手机他们不能随时与孩子取得联系，而孩子认为没有手机会很无聊。

1.细节理解题。从文中第三段得知，I worry about it,我很担心 it指代前文提到的不准小孩带手机到课堂的规定。所以选A。

2.判断推理题。由文中第三段 A number of Americans think mobile phones connect* them to children on buses, getting out from subways, walking through unknown* places.很多美国家庭认为手机将父母和孩子联系在一起，他们是在公交车是，下了地铁还是到其他不知道的地方了，可判断出很多家庭父母不同意不准孩子带手机到学校，故选B。

3.判断推理题。由文中最后一段“I feel so bored,” said May Chom, 14. “There is also no way to listen to music on the way to school without my phone. It will be a really, really boring trip.他说：“我感到很去聊，没有手机我不能在路上听音乐，那将是非常非常无聊的一段路。”由此可判断他喜欢待手机到学校，故选D。

4.判断推理题。文章主要讲述了很多父母和孩子都反对不准带手机上学这条规定。作者要告诉我们的也就是这个规则所带来的问题，故选B。
