答案

小题1:B小题2:C小题3:D小题4:B

解析

小题1: B解析 词义猜测题。由文章第二段第二、三句可知，通信专家说美国手机因为兼容问题到了国外可能不能使用，即便能使用，漫游费也会很高。由此可推出第一句的大致意思为“希望你不要依靠你的个人手机”，故B项“依靠，依赖”符合文意。小题2: C解析 细节理解题。由文章倒数第二段可知，打回美国时，该公司的收费比其他的运营商收费要低，所以得知其为一家美国公司。该公司有一些连锁饭店，在饭店里也可租到手机，故A项错误；文中并未说明优惠资费包需要提前申请，故B项错误；对于一些去偏远地区的游客来说，也能得到这种服务，故D项错误。小题3: D解析 细节理解题。由文章倒数第二段可知，使用卫星手机在国外往美国打电话会享受至少六折的折扣，也就是你至少会少花40%的费用。小题4: B解析 细节理解题。文章第二段提到第一种方式：用你原来的手机用漫游服务；第三段提到两种方式：一种是租一个当地的手机办一个当地的号，另一种是用环球手机租赁公司提供的卫星手机服务。所以一共是三种方式。

考点

据考高分专家说，试题“Heading overas on .....”主要考查你对 [日常生活类阅读 ]考点的理解。 日常生活类阅读

日常生活类阅读的概念：

日常生活这一话题主要涉及人们衣食住行等方面的活动。这一话题的选材主要针对人们日常的工作，生活以及学习情况。做这一类题时，最主要的是要把握好人物的活动内容，时间和地点。

日常生活类阅读题答题技巧：

【题型说明】该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小，追根溯源，探索各项风俗的历史渊源，内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主，如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松，试题做起来比较顺手，但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神，就会丢分。 【备考提醒】为了保证较高准确率，建议同学们做好以下几点： 1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现，越是容易的试题，同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢？因为在这种情况下，同学们极易产生麻痹思想，认为题目好做，就不引起高度重视，于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点，设计陷阱题。所以，无论试题难易与否，我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易，不欣喜；试题难，不悲观。 2、根据前面讲到的方法，认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。 3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义，确定多义词或短语在文中的意思，确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象，或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子，切不可望文生义。 4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提，以具体事实为依据进行推理，做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接，只要弄清事实，即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
