【题目】How to Manage Your Phone’s Data Use

Smart phones give you access to a wealth of information and media, but most networks put a limit on the amount of data you can use each month. A typical phone contract includes a data allowance of between 500MB and 10GB per month. 【1】 You see, your usage can mount up surprisingly quickly — watching a film on the phone is about 700MB in SD, an hour of streaming TV is around 500MB or 60-140MB for the same of radio, chatting on Skype for an hour is around 40MB. 【2】

·If possible, wait until you can connect to free Wi-Fi before using your phone’s data features.

·When you are on the road, use your car’s GPS, not your phone, to find the way.【3】 But maps are preloaded in a GPS, making this free to use.

·【4】 Many of these are funded by ads that pop up on your screen. Every ad has to download through your network, using up your data allowance.

·If you regularly need to use a lot of data on your phone, consider a data-compressing(压缩) app, such as Onavo(www.onavo.com).【5】 So you use less of your monthly allowance. You may have to subscribe to such compression services, so you’ll need to weigh up whether it’s worth the cost.

A. The more data, the higher the monthly cost.

B. Remember to use free Wi-Fi anywhere you go.

C. Try these tips to better manage your data use.

D. It compresses data before it is fed to your phone.

E. But you might end up paying more than expected.

F. The phone has to download map data as you move.

G. Be careful of how many “free” games you play on the phone.

【解析】现在智能手机的出现使得人们的手机流量用的很快，本文主要介绍了几种省流量的方法。

【1】A 考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思是：一个典型的手机通常所包含得流量是每个月500MB 到10GB。空后是举了几个使用手机流量的例子。所以这里选A（流量越多，你每个月花费的越高。）承上启下。

【2】C 考查对上下文语境的理解。该空前面讲的是在手机上观看电影，聊天等都会用很多流量，而下一段讲的是怎样能省流量，所以该题选C（尝试下面这些技巧来把握好流量的使用。）与上下文一致。

【3】F 考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思是：当你在路上的时候，使用你车上的GPS而不是你的手机来寻找路线。空后的意思是：但是地图要在你的GPS上提前下载好，就可以免费使用了。所以这里选F（当你移动的时候手机必须下载地图。）与上下文一致。

【4】G 考查对上下文语境的理解。空后的意思是：许多游戏是广告赞助的，它们会突然出现在你的屏幕上。所以这里选G（要注意手机上有多少可免费供你玩的游戏。）与本段内容一致。

【5】D 考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思是：如果你要经常使用你手机的流量，那么就考虑用压缩的APP，例如Onavo(www.onavo.com)。空后的意思是：所以你每个月的使用量就会更少。所以这里选D（在它进入你的电脑之前就压缩了数据。）与上下文一致。
