參考答案與解析

（一）

“我”曾打電話成癮。一開始打電話還是正常交往，一天幾個電話，可后來情形漸漸變得越來越糟，直至有“癮”——從早到晚打個不停。打電話影響了“我”的工作，后來在工作中也打電話，當同事勸“我”不要再打電話時“我”會發瘋，有一次甚至用電話機打了老板。后來在電話亭打電話因用完了硬幣而破壞電話設施被警方抓起來，最后被強制看心理醫生。

1. A。文章第 1 句話和最后一句話公開承認 Im an addict 表明“我”已開始正視自己打電話成癮的問題，動詞face符合語境。該題選擇D（notice）的同學較多，但它僅僅表明“注意到”，對問題的認識程度與態度不及face深刻，故排除。

2. B。從第 1 句話及全文內容可知“我”打電話成癮，且下文有 from the moment I woke up to the time I went to sleep，由此可見，此處用 all the time 才合乎成癮的實際。而 now and then 為“時而”，不算“成癮”。

3. C。打電話無非分為兩種，一是打，二是接聽。后面說 I wanted to phone，那么這句話就該是“等著接聽別人打來的電話”了，即 I waited to be phoned。

4. C。從 It started socially… 來看，本段講述的是成癮的開始。一開始幾個電話，只是 just a quick chat，這似乎很好，故用 fine。

5. B。前面說剛開始打電話只是社交上的行為，一天幾個電話往往比較快，對人對己沒有影響。后面的 Gradually though提示，以后的情形與剛開始時形成對比，漸漸變得糟了，即此處說的是“情形”。從語境來看，這里說的是總的情況，而非指身體等某一部分的具體情況，故排除condition。

6. A。這是說打……
