M: Hi. Mary. How are you?
W: Fine, thanks. How are things going? With the presentation, I mean.
M: Not too bad, actually. I found that survey you sent me really useful.
W: [1] The one about young people and mobile phones?
M: Yes. It shows how incredibly important mobile phones are to young people. For example, did you know that 75 percent of teenagers use their phones at least once a day?
W: 75 percent! That’s quite a lot.
M: [2] But actually texting is an even bigger thing with young people nowadays. About 90 percent of them send at least one text massage a day. And if you look at the UK as a whole, people are sending over 2 billion text messages a month. What’s so amazing is that they’ve gone from zero to 2 billion in such a short time.
W: That’s an amazing increase. You know, we could design a graph to show that.
M: Great idea! By the way, what do you think the peak time for sending text messages is?
W: I don’t know. Seven thirty? Eight o’clock at night?
M: [3] Well, it is at night but apparently it’s between ten thirty and eleven.
W: That’s quite late. I’m surprised.
M: What you have to remember about mobiles is that they’re part of young people’s self-expression and part of their identity. The most popular place you carry your phone is in your pocket. [4] And the last place you should keep your phone is on your belt. That’s a really big fashion mistake for most of the teenagers in the survey anyway. Now, you were going to talk about the different functions of mobile phones, Mary, weren’t you? Which functions did you decide to cover?
W: Well, the most popular, obviously, is text messaging. But you seem to have a lot of information on that already. So I will leave that to you, if that’s OK.
M: Fine, so you won’t cover text messaging, but...?
W: I think video is still a pretty specialized thing at the moment. [5] Not that many phones have it yet. So I’m not covering that. But the other thing I’m going to look at is voicemail. It’s not quite as popular with teenagers as the other functions but about two thirds still use it.
M: OK. Let’s talk about it next week.
1. What do we learn from the conversation about the survey sent by the woman?
2. According to the man, what is the bigger thing with young people today?
3. What does the man think the peak time for sending text messages is?
4. According to the man, what is the least popular place to carry the phone?
5. Why won’t the woman cover video?

选项 A、Making phone calls to their friends.
B、Sending text messages.
C、The graph they would design.
D、Losing part of their identity.

答案B

解析 录音中男士提到,现在,发短信(texting)对于年轻人来说是一个更重要的事情,因此B为答案。A项的Making phone calls录音并未提及:女士提及的画图表是为了表明人们发短信的变化趋势,C与题目所问无关;录音提到,手机是年轻人身份认同的一部分,并非年轻人失去了部分身份认同,因此排除D。
