题文
阅读理解。 The round-the-clock( 24小时不断的 ) availability that cellphone have brought to people's lives may be taking a toll on
family life, a new study suggests. The study, which followed
more than 1,300 adults over 2 years, found that those who
consistently used a mobile phone throughout the study period
were more likely to report negative "spillover" between work
and home life-and,in turn, less satisfaction with their family
life.
Spillover essentially(本质上) means that the line between
work and home begins to become unclear. Work life may invade
home life when a parent is taking job-related calls at home,for
instance-or family issues may start to take up work time. For
example,a child may call mom at work,telling her "microwave
exploded" explained Noelle Chesley,an assistant professor of
sociology at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and the
author of the study. The problem with cell phones seems to be
that they are allowing for ever more spillover between work
and home.
This may be especially true for working women,the study
found. Among men,consistent use of mobile phones seemed to
allow more work issues to creep (潜入)into family time. But
for women,the spillover tended to go in both directions being
"connected" meant that work cut into home time,and family
issues came into work life.
Cell phones seem to be opening more lines for stressful
exchanges among family members. But there may be ways to
control the spillover, according to Chesley. Employers, she
said,could look at their policies on contacting employees after
hours to make sure their expectations are "reasonable". For
their part,employees could decide that cell phones go off during
family time, Chesley said.1. What does the underlined phrase "taking a toll on" probably mean in Paragraph 1?
A. Explaining.
B. Protecting.
C. Extending
D. Damaging.

【题型说明】
该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小，追根溯源，探索各项风俗的历史渊源，内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主，如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松，试题做起来比较顺手，但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神，就会丢分。
【备考提醒】
为了保证较高准确率，建议同学们做好以下几点：
1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现，越是容易的试题，同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢？因为在这种情况下，同学们极易产生麻痹思想，认为题目好做，就不引起高度重视，于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点，设计陷阱题。所以，无论试题难易与否，我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易，不欣喜；试题难，不悲观。
2、根据前面讲到的方法，认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。
3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义，确定多义词或短语在文中的意思，确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象，或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子，切不可望文生义。
4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提，以具体事实为依据进行推理，做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接，只要弄清事实，即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
