More than one billion are (1)_____ around the world, and when asked, their (2)_____ say they love their phones for the safety and convenience (3)_____ provide. People also report that they are (4)_____ in their use of their phones. One opinion survey (5)_____ that "98 percent of Americans say they move away from (6)_____ when talking on a wireless phone in public" (7)_____ "86 percent say they ’never’ or ’rarely’ speak (8)_____ wireless phones" when conducting (9)_____ with clerks or bank tellers.

As the sociologist Erving Gateman observed in another (13)_____, there is something deeply disturbing about people who are" (14)_____ contact" in social situations because they are blatantly refusing to (15)_____ to the norms of their immediate environment.

选项
A、good
B、poor
C、polite
D、rude
答案
D
解析
本题的考点为对上下文语境的理解及形容词的词义和用法辨析。前文提到人们被从音乐厅和拥挤的汽车中逐出,从而可以推断出这是由于其粗鲁地使用手机的结果,所以rude"粗鲁的"符合文意。good"好的",poor"恶劣的",polite"礼貌的"都不符合题意。
