Passage 3 Fifteen percent of US teenagers aged 12 to 17 who own mobile phones have received nude（裸体）or nearly nude images of someone they know, according to a survey released on Tuesday. Only four percent of mobile phone-owning 1 in that age group have sent sexually suggestive pictures of themselves, a practice known as sexting, 2 the Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project. The Pew survey found that girls and boys were equally as likely to have sent a suggestive picture to 3 person and 4 teenagers were more likely to have engaged in sexting. Eight percent of 17-year-olds with mobile phones have sent a sexually provocative（刺激的） image 5 texting and 30 percent have 6 a nude or nearly nude image on their phone. Only four percent of 12-year-olds have sent suggestive images of 7 . Amanda Lenhart, a senior research specialist at Pew and the author of the report, said sexually suggestive images have become a 8 of elationship currency for teens. These images are 9 as a part of or instead of sexual activity, or as a way of starting or 10 a relationship with a significant other, she said. And they are also passed 11 to friends for their entertainment value, as a joke or for 12 . The desire for risk-taking and sexual exploration during the teenage years 13 with a constant connection via mobile devices creates a 'perfect storm' for sexting, said Lenhart. Teenagers have always grappled with issues around sex and 14 , but their coming-of-age mistakes transgressions have never been so easily 15 and stored for others to see, she added.
The survey found that teens with unlimited text messaging plans were more likely to receive sexts 16 images of people they know. About 75 percent of mobile phone owning teens have unlimited plans. Among this group, Pew said 18 percent reporting receiving sexts 17 with eight percent of teens on 18 data plans and three percent of teens who pay per message. According to Pew, 58 percent of 12-year-olds own a mobile phone and 83 percent teens aged 17 19 . Pew noted that a number of US states are grappling with how to 20 sexting among minors and some legislatures(立法机关) have stepped in to consider laws that would downgrade charges from felonies（重罪） to misdemeanors（轻罪）.

D 这一段是the Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project的一个调查结果，当然是“根据”这个调查得出：4%的这个年龄群的拥有手机的青少年曾经发送过有关自己的带有性暗示的图片。故用D项。 3. B 考查介词的含义和用法。短信当然是发给“另外”的一个人的。也就是another。Other后往往接一个名词的复数；others是个代词，其后不可能再有名词。The other指的是：两者中的另外一个。意思上ACD三项都不合适。 4. C 考查形容的含义词和逻辑关系。语境是：这项调查发现，男孩和女孩都有可能发送一些带有暗示性的图片给另外的人，而年龄较大的则更可能忙于发性短信。这要把握青少年的心理特点，一般来说年龄大的，胆子更大些。故用C项。 5. A 此题看似考查的是介词的含义和用法，实质上是考查text的用法。学生们往往只知道text是名词，意思是：文本，课文。而它在这儿根据上下文的意思和一般的常识可知是：发短信。故选A项，表示通过这种方式，相当于：by means of……。 6. B 此题的最具有迷惑性的是D项，然而我们知道，mail是邮寄的意思，合理的用法应该是：mail…to…，然而文中没有这样的字眼。根据常识，有发短信，就有接短信。再者，这里的“接”不是“接受”，而是“接到”。故用B项。 7. B 考查反身代词。因主语是4%的12岁的青少年，是复数，故这儿使用themselves。 8. D 考查近义词的名词词义的辨析及语义之间的逻辑关系。这句的语境是：对于青少年来说，发送带有性暗示的图片已经变成了一种沟通关系的“型式”（form），而不是“习惯”（habit），更不是“系统”（system）和“方法”(method)。最容易让人上当的A项和D项，然而根据我知道的常识，habit往往表示：个人的生活习惯；method则表示：有一定的理论基础的一整套的方法。故用D项。 9. A 检测的是动词词义的准确记忆与识别。既然是青少年之间相互发的图片，当然就是彼此“分享”（share）了。别的三项语意上都不符合逻辑。 10.C 同上一题一样，此题除了检测的是动词词义的准确记忆与识别外，还有词形及用法的考查。A项remain是系动词，其后常接形容词；而BD项的词义都是“得到”的意思。故选择C项 11.A 考查的是动词短语的词义和用法。由上一题的分析我们得知此空填上具有“传递”、“传送”之意的动词的被动形式，然而这四个动词短语只有pass along有这样的意思。具有迷惑性的是B项，但它表示“经过”、“路过”的意思。 12.B 考查名词近义词词义的辨析。由第10题的分析我们知道此空需填上和joke意思相近的名词，而这四项里AD两项同义，都是“高兴”之意；C项的意思是“兴奋、激动”；只有B项表示“玩乐”、“好玩”之意。故B项正确。 13.C 此题考查动词的词义及用法。语境是：伦哈特说：“青少年时期有冒险和性探索的欲望，加上移动设备可以保持实时联系，这些条件创造了互发性短信的‘完美风暴’。” 分析句子结构我们得知said的宾语从句的主语是the desire，谓语动词是creates，宾语是storm，而 with a constant connection via mobile devices根据语境只能是定语，又因为此四词中只有combine表示“把….和….结合起来”之意，与语境中的“加上”意思相符，combine的逻辑主语是句子的主语the desire,他们之间是被动关系，所以我们用动词的过去分词作后置定语，相当于定语从句：which is combined with constant connection via mobile devices.故选择C项。 14.D 考查上下文之间的逻辑思路的理清能力。语境是：青少年总在有关性和情感关系的问题上挣扎，但他们青少年时期所犯的错误和越轨行为从未像现在这样如此容易地被传播并被保存下来供别人‘分享’。在第六段里就提到青少年发性短信已经变成了关系疏通的一种方式。至四个词只有D项的意思是“关系”。故我们选择D项。 15.A 考查动词词义的准确记忆。由上一题得知，此空应该填上表示“传播”之意的动词。B项的意思：转变；form的意思是：形成；switch的意思是：转换。故A项正确。 16.A 考查的是动词近义词的辨析。根据语境：调查发现，那些订制无限量短信套餐
