16.Well,I finally decided to enter the digital age.My kids have been annoying me; my book group made fun of me; and the last straw was when my car broke down,and I was stuck on the highway for an hour before someone stopped to help.But when I went to the cell phone store,I almost changed my mind.The phones are so small that I can't see the numbers.They all have cameras,computers and a Global Positioning System that's supposed to spot me from space.All I want to do is to be able to talk to my grandkids!And the rate plans(资费套餐)!They were complex,confusing,and expensive!I'd almost given up when a friend told me about her new Jitterbug phone.Sometimes I think the people who designed this phone and the rate plans had me in mind.The phone fits easily in my pocket,but when it opens it reaches from my mouth to my ear.The display is large,so I can actually see who is calling.With a push of a button I can control the volume(音量),and if I don't know a number,I can simply push one for a friendly,helpful operator that will look it up and even dial for me.The Jitterbug also reduces background noise,making the sound loud and clear.There's even a dial tone,so I know the phone is ready to use.

解答 51-53 CBA
51.C 细节题.根据文章第一句话I finally decided to enter the digital age.My kids have been annoying me最后我终于进入了电子时代,推出我一直都没有使用高科技的手机,故亲戚朋友都嘲笑我,故悬念C.
52.B 细节理解题.由第一段第二行"the last straw was when my car broke down,and I was stuck by the highway for an hour before someone stopped to help."可知当作者被困在高速公路上而没有人帮助他的时候,他想到要有一部手机,所以选B.
53.A 主旨大意题.文章通过介绍我自己的一次经历,来告诉读者手机的重要性,包括后文提到的一些 有关该手机的服务,都是在为该款手机做广告,故选A.
