Have you ever unlocked a shared bike? Have you ever
ordered a meal online? Have you ever enjoyed watching the
short-form videos on the internet? Well, if no one had invented
the cell phone, none of these would have been possible.
Luckily, someone did invent the cell phone. That person is
Martin Cooper, and he did that 52 years ago, in 1973.
Cooper used to work for a company. In the 1970s, the
company was competing with AT&T, a larger company, to
make a cell phone system. Cooper didn't think his company was
good enough. He didn't like AT&T's idea of a car phone either.
The man had a new idea. He wanted to make it possible for
people to talk on their phones anywhere.
It took Cooper and his team 90 days to design the world's
first cell phone. The product was called Dyna TAC. People could
talk on it for 25 minutes before its battery died. The phone's
short battery life wasn't a big problem, Cooper once joked.
Why? Well, the phone was too heavy (1,100 grams) to hold in
hand for more than 25 minutes!
On 3 April, 1973, Cooper made the world's first public cell
phone call. He called Joel Engel, an AT&T manager. Cooper
told Engel, "I'm calling you on a cell phone. It's a real, handheld
cell phone." On the other end of the line, there was only silence.
Cell phones have changed a lot since that first call. They're
much smaller and can do many more things. Cooper, now 97, is
surprised at the progress.
But the man has also kept thinking about life in the future.
"Keep learning all your life," he says, "or you'll lose the ability
to learn—that would be terrible!"
27. Why does the writer raise three questions in the first
paragraph?
A. To list the usage of cell phones.
B. To show the importance of cell phones.
C. To do a survey about what people use their cell
phones for.
D. To do a survey about whether people can use their cell
phones in a proper way.
28. What was the big problem that Cooper needed to solve
according to his joke in Paragraph 4?
A. The weight of the cell phone.
B. The usages of the cell phone.
C. The battery life of the cell phone.
D. The appearance design of the cell phone.
29. Why did Engel keep silent when Cooper called him by using
the cell phone?
A. Because Engel couldn't hear clearly on the line.
B. Because Cooper didn't make the cell phone better.
C. Because Engel was busy designing his cell phone.
D. Because Cooper invented the cell phone before AT&T.
30. Which can be the best title for the passage?
A. Keep Learning All Your Life
B. Rapid Development of the Cell Phone
C. The Father of the Cell Phone
D. The Competition Between Cooper and Engel

答案
C
【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了第一部手机的
发明。
27. B 推理判断题。根据第一段"Have you ever unlocked a
shared bike? Have you ever ordered a meal online? Have you
ever enjoyed watching the short-form videos on the internet?
Well, if no one had invented the cell phone, none of these
would have been possible."可知,作者在第一段提出三个问题
是为了显示手机的重要性。故选B。
28. A 细节理解题。根据第四段"It took Cooper and his team 90
days to design the world's first cell phone. The product was
called Dyna TAC. People could talk on it for 25 minutes before
its battery died. The phone's short battery life wasn't a big
problem, Cooper once joked. Why? Well, the phone was too
heavy (1,100 grams) to hold in hand for more than 25
minutes!"可知,根据第四段中的笑话可知,库珀需要解决的大
问题是手机的重量。故选A。
29. D 细节理解题。根据第三段"Cooper used to work for a
company. In the 1970s, the company was competing with
AT&T, a larger company, to make a cell phone system.
Cooper didn't think his company was good enough. He didn't
like AT&T.'s idea of a car phone either. The man had a new
idea."以及第五段可知,库珀用手机打电话给恩格尔时,他保持
沉默是因为库珀比美国电话电报公司先发明了手机。故选D。
30. C 标题归纳题。通读全文,本文主要讲述了第一部手机的发
明过程。故文章的最佳标题应是"手机之父"。故选C。

解析
【分析】
首先拿到这篇人物记叙类阅读,先明确每道题的题型和对应的解题思路:1. 第27题是写作意图类推理判断题,直接定位第一段,三个问题列举的解锁共享单车、线上订餐、刷短视频这些日常场景,紧接着点明没有手机这些事都不可能实现,自然就能推出作者提问是为了凸显手机的重要性,逐一排除不符合逻辑的选项。2. 第28题是细节理解题,直接定位第四段Cooper的玩笑内容,他说短续航不是大问题,原因是手机太重根本举不了超过25分钟,说明当时真正的核心痛点是手机重量。3. 第29题是逻辑推理类细节题,结合前文提到Cooper的公司和AT&T是研发手机系统的竞争对手,他率先做出了真正的手持手机,打给AT&T的负责人Engel,对方因为没想到对手先研发成功所以陷入沉默,对应选项即可。4. 第30题是标题归纳题,通读全文,文章核心围绕第一部手机的发明者Martin Cooper的研发故事展开,排除片面的干扰选项就能选出最贴合的标题。
【解析】
27. 根据第一段内容,作者提出三个大家熟悉的日常场景后,直接说明如果没有手机这些事都不可能实现,目的是突出手机在现代生活中的重要作用:A选项仅罗列手机用法不符合提问引出下文的作用,C、D选项提到做调查完全无原文依据,因此选B。
28. 定位第四段的玩笑内容,Cooper调侃手机短续航不是大问题,原因是初代手机重达1100克,根本没法手持超过25分钟,说明当时真正需要解决的核心大问题是手机的重量,因此选A。
29. 结合第三段内容可知Cooper所在的公司和AT&T是研发手机系统的直接竞争对手,Cooper率先研发出了世界上第一部真正的手持手机,他致电AT&T的经理Engel告知对方自己正在用手持手机通话,Engel因为得知对手比自己公司先完成研发,所以陷入沉默,因此选D。
30. 全文围绕第一部手机的发明者Martin Cooper的研发经历、发明过程展开叙述,A选项只是Cooper提到的一句人生建议,过于片面;B选项手机的发展只是文章末尾的补充内容,不是核心;D选项两人的竞争只是背景铺垫,并非全文主线,因此最贴合的标题是“手机之父”,选C。
【答案】
27.B 28.A 29.D 30.C
