2. READING COMPREHENSION (1 pt)
Read the passage and choose the best answer for each question below.
MOBILE PHONES: Are they about to transform our lives?
We love them so much that some of us sleep with them under the pillow, yet we are increasingly
concerned that we cannot escape their electronic reach. We use them to convey our most intimate
secrets, yet we worry that they are a threat to our privacy. We rely on them more than the Internet
to cope with modern life, yet many of us don’t believe advertisements saying we need more
advanced services.
Sweeping aside the doubts that many people feel about the benefits of new third generations
phones and fears over the health effects of phone masts, a recent report claims that the long-term
effects of new mobile technologies will be entirely positive so long as the public can be convinced to
make use of them. Research about users of mobile phones reveals that the mobile has already
moved beyond being a mere practical. communications tool to become the backbone of modern
social life, from love affairs to friendship to work.
The close relationship between user and phone is most pronounced among teenagers, the report
says, who regard their mobiles as an expression of their identity. This is partly because mobiles are
seen as being beyond the control of parents. But the researchers suggest that another reason may
be that mobiles, especially text messaging was seen as a way of overcoming shyness. The impact of
phones, however, has been local rather than global, supporting existing friendship and networks,
rather than opening users to a new broader community. Even the language of texting in one area
can be incomprehensible to anybody from another area.
Among the most important benefits of using mobiles phones, the report claims, will be a vastly
improved mobile infrastructure, providing gains throughout the economy, and the provision of a
more sophisticated location-based services for users. The report calls on government to put more
effort into the delivery of services by mobile phone, with suggestion including public transport and
traffic information and doctors’ text messages to remind patients of appointments. There are many
possibilities. At a recent trade fair in Sweden, a mobile navigation product was launched. When the
user enters a destination, a route is automatically downloaded to their mobile and presented by
voices, pictures and maps as they drive. In future, these devices will also be able to plan around
congestion and road works in real time. Third generation phones will also allow for remote
monitoring of patients by doctors. In Britain scientists are developing an asthma management
solution using mobiles to detect early signs of an attack.
Mobile phones can be used in education. A group of teachers in Britain use third generation
phones to provide fast internet service to children who live beyond the reach of terrestrial
broadband services and can have no access to online information. ‘As the new generation of mobile
technologies takes off, the social potential of the vastly increase,’ the report argues.
81. What does the writer suggest in the first paragraph about our attitudes to mobile phones
A. We can’t live without them.
B. We are worried about using them so much.
C. We have contradictory feelings about them.
D. We need them more than anything else to deal with modern life.
82. What does “them” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. long-term effects B. new mobile technologies
