Tablets are really useful devices, but their big screens always make them a burden to carry around without a bag. Wouldn’t it be great if there were a phone with the powers of a tablet that could be folded up and fit 【1】 into the hand?

这是一篇说明文。文章引出可折叠手机的概念，讲述了其优点和目前面临的问题。

【1】考查副词。句意：如果有一台手机能拥有电脑的性能，还能被折叠起来刚好适合拿在手里，这样难道不好吗？分析句子结构可知，句中成分完整，考虑空白处修饰动词fit，要用副词，neatly意为“整齐地，熟练地”，符合文意。故选BC项。

【2】考查形容词。句意：现在一种形如平板电脑还能折叠起来的设备即将变为现实了。分析句子结构可知，这里需要表语，考虑形容词，available意为“可获得的”，符合文意。故选AC项。

【3】考查副词。句意：二月份，韩国三星和中国华为分别发布了两款折叠手机——Gala Fold和华为Mate X。分析句子结构可知，主谓宾结构齐全，考虑状语即副词修饰动词unveil，respectively意为“分别地，各自地”，符合两家公司分别发布产品的句意。故选D项。

【4】考查形容词。句意：这些设备因其可弯曲的屏幕让我们能享受到更大的屏幕。分析句子结构可知，空白处需要定语修饰screens，考虑形容词，结合上文对可折叠手机的介绍，bendable意为“可弯曲的”，与foldable意义相近。故选C项。

【5】考查名词。句意：正如《今日美国》所言，它们是“小型平板电脑与智能手机的结合体”。联系上文，折叠手机就是兼具了平板电脑和手机的优点，相当于二者的结合。故选AB项。

【9】考查名词。句意：2012年，生产的OLED显示屏每10个中有9个都是存在故障的。本段描述的是可折叠手机面临的技术难题，前文指出显示器是难以制造的，这里作为佐证要表现制作屏幕的难度，即故障率高。故选CD项。

【10】考查动词。句意：那是个能劝退大多数人的价格。这里极言可折叠屏幕的造价昂贵，结合生活常识17500元的价格确实令一般人难以接受，discourage意为“阻止，使气馁”符合文意。故选AD项。

选词填空在一些地区的英语考试中是一个重要的题型，也是比较容易丢分的题，它包含了词的用法与搭配、词语辨析、句子的理解、语篇理解、语法等多方面的考查内容，既考查了考生的语言知识水平，又检测了分析判断能力和综合运用语言知识的能力。可以从以下几个方面去把握这种题型：1.拿到题目后，不着急看文章，先对备选词汇进行熟悉，做简单的词性标记，对词义有初步理解；2.通读全文，语意完整、合乎逻辑是做好填词的前提。通过上、下文的句子，充分理解短文内容，注意固定搭配关系，凭借语感推测缺失信息，在备选词汇中寻找匹配答案；3.对于一些需要变化词形的题目，选定单词后要瞻前顾后，既要符合句意，又要保证句式结构的正确；4.整体完成后，要再次梳理全文，复核校对，避免无谓的错误。第8小题就是首先在“the…of…”的结构中明确需要一个名词，再结合后句“blank canvas”的比喻确定大致的词义，继而选出正确答案。
