Tablets are really useful devices, but their big screens always make them a burden to carry around without a bag. Wouldn’t it be great if there were a phone with the powers of a tablet that could be folded up and fit 【1】 into the hand?

Now something like a tablet-shaped but fold-able phone is about to become 【2】. In February, South Korean electronics company Samsung and China’s Huawei both unveiled fold-able phones Galaxy Fold and Huawei Mate X 【3】. Mobile phone use has entered the “fold-able future”, The Verge noted.

【解析】

這是一篇說明文。文章引出可折疊手機的概念，講述了其優點和目前面臨的問題。

【1】考查副詞。句意：如果有一臺手機能擁有電腦的性能，還能被折疊起來剛好適合拿在手里，這樣難道不好嗎？分析句子結構可知，句中成分完整，考慮空白處修飾動詞fit，要用副詞，neatly意為“整齊地，熟練地”，符合文意。故選BC項。

【2】考查形容詞。句意：現在一種形如平板電腦還能折疊起來的設備即將變為現實了。分析句子結構可知，這里需要表語，考慮形容詞，available意為“可獲得的”，符合文意。故選AC項。

【3】考查副詞。句意：二月份，韓國三星和中國華為分別發布了兩款折疊手機——Gala Fold和華為Mate X。分析句子結構可知，主謂賓結構齊全，考慮狀語即副詞修飾動詞unveil，respectively意為“分別地，各自地”，符合兩家公司分別發布產品的句意。故選D項。

【4】考查形容詞。句意：這些設備因其可彎曲的屏幕讓我們能享受到更大的屏幕。分析句子結構可知，空白處需要定語修飾screens，考慮形容詞，結合上文對可折疊手機的介紹，bendable意為“可彎曲的”，與foldable意義相近。故選C項。

【5】考查名詞。句意：正如《今日美國》所言，它們是“小型平板電腦與智能手機的結合體”。聯系上文，折疊手機就是兼具了平板電腦和手機的優點，相當于二者的結合。故選AB項。

【6】考查動詞。句意：技術也能變換其他設備。結合本段中列舉的可以將電視貼在墻上或者折疊放入抽屜內，都是對傳統家用電器形態上的改造變化。故選ABC項。

【7】考查動詞。句意：在擁擠的大城市，它們將幫助我們最大化利用可用空間。置于不定式中，要用動詞原形，聯系本段描述，改換各類設備的形態都是為了節省空間或者更好地利用空間，maximize意為“最大化，充分利用”，符合文意。故選A項。

【8】考查名詞。句意：他將可折疊屏幕稱為“未來智能手機的基礎”。結合下文Justin Denison說的另一句話“這是一幅空白的畫布，我們可以一起完成一些美妙的事情”，意即未來我們將在折疊屏幕的基礎上創造更多東西。故選BD項。

【9】考查名詞。句意：2012年，生產的OLED顯示屏每10個中有9個都是存在故障的。本段描述的是可折疊手機面臨的技術難題，前文指出顯示器是難以制造的，這里作為佐證要表現制作屏幕的難度，即故障率高。故選CD項。

【10】考查動詞。句意：那是個能勸退大多數人的價格。這里極言可折疊屏幕的造價昂貴，結合生活常識17500元的價格確實令一般人難以接受，discourage意為“阻止，使氣餒”符合文意。故選AD項。

選詞填空在一些地區的英語考試中是一個重要的題型，也是比較容易丟分的題，它包含了詞的用法與搭配、詞語辨析、句子的理解、語篇理解、語法等多方面的考查內容，既考查了考生的語言知識水平，又檢測了分析判斷能力和綜合運用語言知識的能力。可以從以下幾個方面去把握這種題型：1.拿到題目后，不著急看文章，先對備選詞匯進行熟悉，做簡單的詞性標記，對詞義有初步理解；2.通讀全文，語意完整、合乎邏輯是做好填詞的前提。通過上、下文的句子，充分理解短文內容，注意固定搭配關系，憑借語感推測缺失信息，在備選詞匯中尋找匹配答案；3.對于一些需要變化詞形的題目，選定單詞后要瞻前顧后，既要符合句意，又要保證句式結構的正確；4.整體完成后，要再次梳理全文，復核校對，避免無謂的錯誤。第8小題就是首先在“the…of…”的結構中明確需要一個名詞，再結合后句“blank canvas”的比喻確定大致的詞義，繼而選出正確答案。
