34、estions 1-5In the case of mobile phones, change is everything. Recent research indicates that the mobile phone is changing not only our culture, but our very bodies as well.First, lets talk about culture. The difference between the mobile phone and its parent, the fixed-line phone, you get whoever a
35、nswers it.This has several implications. The most common one, however, and perhaps the thing that has changed our culture forever, is the “meeting“ influence. People no longer need to make firm plans about when and where to meet. Twenty years ago, a Friday night would need to be arranged in advance.
36、 You needed enough time to allow everyone to get from their place of work to the first meeting place. Now, however, a night out can be arranged on the run. It is no longer “see you there at 8“, but “text-me around 8 and well see where we all are“.Texting changes people as well. In their paper, “Insi
37、ghts into the Social and Psychological Effects of SMS Text Messaging“, two British researchers distinguished between two types of mobile phone users: the “talkers“ and the “texters“-those who prefer voice to text message and those who prefer text to voice.They found that the mobile phones individual
38、ity and privacy gave texters the ability to express a whole new outer personality. Texters were likely to report that their family would be surprised if they were to read their texts. This suggests that texting allowed texters to present a self-image that differed from the one familiar to those who
39、knew them well.Another scientist wrote of the changes that mobiles have brought to body language. There are two kinds that people use while speaking on the phone. There is the “speakeasy“: the head is held high, in a self-confident way, chatting away. And there is the “spacemaker: these people focus
40、 on themselves and keep out other people.Who can blame them? Phone meetings get cancelled or reformed and camera-phones intrude on peoples privacy. So, it is understandable if your mobile makes you nervous. But perhaps you neednt worry so much. After all, it is good to talk.（分数：10.00）(1).When people
41、 plan to meet nowadays, they _.A. arrange the meeting place beforehandB. postpone fixing the place till last minuteC. seldom care about when and where to meetD. still love to work out detailed meeting plans（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).According to the two British researchers, the social and psychological ef

44、guage and the mobile phone（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.Questions 6-10A study of art history might be a good way to learn more about a culture than is possible to learn in general history classes. Most typical history courses concentrate on politics, economics, and war. But art history focuses on much more than
45、this because art reflects not only the political values of a people, but also religious beliefs, emotions, and psychology. In addition, information about the daily activities of our ancestors-or of people very different from our own-can be provided by art. In short, art expresses the essential quali
46、ties of a time and a place, and a study of it clearly offer us a deeper understanding than can be found in most history books.In history books, objective information about the political life of a country is presented; that is, facts about politics are given, but opinions are not expressed. Art, on the other hand, is subjective: it reflects emotions and opinions. The great Spanish painter Francisco Goya was perhaps the first truly “political“ artist. In his well-known paint
