Question

【题目】阅读理解
If you’re secretly worried about your smart phone addiction, then the new NoPhone might be just the thing you need. It looks and feels exactly like a smart phone, but it does nothing. It’s just a piece of plastic that you can carry around in your hand to fool yourself.
Dutch designer Ingmar Larsen came up with the idea as a joke along with his two friends. To their great surprise, the idea received a lot of attention online and people from all over the world started placing requests for NoPhones of their own. So that’s when the three friends decided to turn to collecting enough fund for mass production.
NoPhone is currently a prototype (模型) that will cost only $12 once it hits the market It is 5.5 inches high, 2.6 inches wide and 0.29 inches thick, bringing it quite close to the latest smart phones on the market. It is described as “battery free”, “no upgrades necessary,” “shatter-proof (抗震)”, “waterproof” and “an alternative to constant hand-to-phone contact that allows you to stay connected with the real world.”
“Phone addiction is everywhere,” the designers insist. “It’s ruining your dates. It’s distracting you at concerts. It’s blocking sidewalks. Now, there is a real solution. With a thin, light and completely wireless design, the NoPhone acts as a substitute to any smart mobile device, enabling you to always have a phone to hold without giving up potential engagement with your direct environment.”
If you’re interested in NoPhone, but concerned about not being able to take selfies (自拍) anymore. Don’t feel upset. The makers do have an upgrade at no extra charge---the mirror sticker. That way, they say, you can enjoy “real-time” selfies with your friends when they’re standing right behind you.

【解析】本篇是一篇说明文，介绍了一款新型的设备NoPhone. NoPhone将会提供手机手持的“握感”，但并不是真正的手机。NoPhone会防摔、防水且无需升级，也没有电池。它可以帮助你戒除手机瘾，更多的与外界接触。
（1）考查细节理解。根据第四段中的“Now，there is a real solution．With a thin．1ight and completely wireless design，the NoPhone acts as a substitute to any smart mobile device，enabling you to always have a phone to hold without giving up potential engagement with your direct environment．”可知，NoPhone可以成为你的手机的替代品，使你感觉上握着手机，又不会和外界失去联系。故选择C，指它可以帮助人们戒除手机瘾。
（2）考查主旨大意。根据第三段内容可知，这一段主要介绍的是NoPhone的大小、样式、功能等，也就是说是对NoPhone的简单描述。故选择D。（3）考查推理判断。根据第二段中的“To their great surprise，the idea received a lot of attention online”可知，NoPhone引起了意想不到的注意。而NoPhone并非手机，故选项B错；而通过NoPhone is currently a prototype(模型)that will cost only $12 once it hits the market可知选项C错；通过最后一段的The makers do have an upgrade at no extra charge—the mirror sticker可知选项D错。故选择A。
（4）考查推理判断。纵观全文可知，这篇文章主要介绍了新型设备NoPhone，故选择B，指科学报告。
