问题     A new study shows an astonishing number of people are using their cellphones on the john(盥洗室). From web browsing and texting to conference calls and online shopping, it seems this technology-driven world leaves no time for bathroom breaks.
    11 mark, an integrated marketing agency, surveyed 1 ,000 American mobile users in October. Seventy-five percent of them admitted they used their phones while on the toilet— leaving no mystery as to what happens behind closed stalls.
    And this doesn’t just account for the technology-addicted youth. Forty-seven percent of mobile users from the Silent Generation(born 1946 or before), 65 percent of Baby Boomers(1946—1964)and 80 percent of Gen X-ers(1965—1976)use their cell phones in the bathroom.
    But as expected, Generation Y has the highest percentage of multitaskers, using their phones and the john at the same time.
    Did the same percentage of Gen Y wash their hands afterward? Ninety-two percent of those surveyed reported they washed their hands after using the restroom(perhaps all those "You must wash your hands before returning to work" signs have started to pay off).
    But unfortunately the same cannot be said for their mobile devices—only 14 percent wash theirphones after using the bathroom. Maybe this calls for a new-age health initiative, requiring public restaurants to change their signs to " You must wash your hands—and your phone—before returning to work. "
    And for many, toilet talking and texting was not a just one-time thing, used only in the most dire(急迫的)circumstances. Twenty-four percent of mobile users reported they actually don ’t go to the bathroom without their phones.
    In a world where you can ’t even have a moment of solitude(独处)on the toilet, one is forced to wonder, isn’t anything sacred anymore?
The passage is mainly about______.
选项 A、a survey on how people use their mobile phones
B、the different ages and percentages of mobile users
C、whether people wash their hands and phones after using the bathroom
D、how technology-driven world influences bathroom breaks
答案D
解析 主旨题。本题较难。最大的干扰项A错在没有关键的限定词“在洗手间”，其主题被扩大泛化了。而选项B和C却又被缩小了，因此只有D符合题意，意为“如今这个由技术推动的时代是如何影响到人们在洗手间的习惯的”。在这里要提醒一下更为考生：要答好主旨题，务必要认真琢磨每个选项的侧重点，尤其是一些限定词。千万要注意选项和原文中信息量的对等。
