Do Weighted Blankets Work

Delete apps you don't use. On average, smartphone users download about 42 apps but use only ten daily. An easy way to preserve battery life ②________ Deleting an app that you don't use is a simple way to free up storage space on your device and reduce the burden of your battery.
③_________A phone's single biggest battery drain is the fact that it takes a lot of energy to keep your phone's screen lit up, and we often leave it on accidentally, even if we're not looking at the screen. The solution is to set your device to turn off its screen after 30 seconds or a minute.

解析:①根据空前的内容可知,理论上,现代智能手机充一次电就能待机几百个小时。再根据第二段内容可知,手机制造商喜欢用在实验室条件下测出的大电量大做广告,但这大多数和实际使用时的情况不匹配,即实际使用手机时,电量往往是不够的。由此可推知,上下文之间是转折关系,C项(但实际情况并非如此)说明了实际情况与理论上的情况的不同,承上启下,符合语境。
②根据空前两句可知,一般情况下,智能手机使用者会下载大概42个应用程序,但每天只使用10个,接着设问保持电池电量的简单方法是什么,再根据段首句可知,本段主要讲的是删除不用的应用程序,因此设空处应指删掉其他不用的应用程序。A项(把其他的都删掉)承上启下,符合语境。故选A项。
③根据设空处后内容可知,本段主要讲的是一直亮着屏幕会耗电,故B项(减少屏幕显示时间)可作为主题句。
④设空处前Try dimming your display a little at a time.指出试着每次把屏幕调暗一点,眼睛看暗一点的屏幕应该有个适应的过程,故E项(你会惊讶地发现你的眼睛适应得如此之快)承接上文,符合语境。故选E项。
⑤根据空前内容可知,关于给手机充电的典型建议是等手机电量耗尽之后再充满电,再根据空后内容可知,不要在手机还有50%的电量的情况下出门,而是要在出门前给手机充15分钟的电,即如果手机电量消耗了一些,就应该充电,上下文之间为转折关系,G项(事实上,大多数智能手机电池都不需要这种特殊处理)承上启下,符合语境。故选G项。
十、
答案:BDGEF
解析:①推理判断题。根据前句Some people say house dust is mostly human skin cells, but it's only a little bit true(有人说,房屋灰尘主要是人类皮肤细胞,但这只是一点点事实);以及后半句but there are many other components on top of your ceiling fans(但是吊扇上还有很多其他东西),可知表示"皮肤细胞是房屋灰尘的组成部分"的选项A可以起到承上启下的作用,house dust is mostly human skin cells是关键词,故选B。
②推理判断题。根据前文The proportions of the components vary from household to household. A house near a busy road, for example, is likely to harbor a high level of outdoor pollutants from car exhaust(这些成分的比例因家而异。例如,在繁忙道路附近的一所房子,很可能含有来自汽车尾气的高水平室外污染物),可知表示"新建的房子可能会因施工而产生大量灰尘"的选项D符合前后的语境,vary from household to household; A house near a busy road和A newly-built house是关键词,故选D。
③推理判断题。根据后半句and 40% came from dirt and other materials from outside(40%来自室外的灰尘和其他材料),可知表示"根据对房屋灰尘的研究,60%的灰尘成分来自室内"的选项G符合前后的语境,outside和indoors是关键词,故选G。
④推理判断题。根据前句People do drop lots of skin cells as they go about their business(人们在做生意时确实会掉很多皮肤细胞),以及后文Not all dead skin flakes(剥落) off onto your home's floors(并非所有死皮会掉到你家的地板上),可知表示"成年人平均每天损失约5亿个皮肤细胞"的选项E符合前后的语境,drop lots of skin cells和loses about 500 million skin cells each day是关键词,故选E。
⑤主题判断题。根据后文One study found that higher levels of cholesterol and squalene (oils found in dead skin) in dust were associated with lower levels of ozone(臭氧) indoors. Ozone is a pollutant that can cause lung discomfort. Ozone reacts with these oils, thus reducing indoor ozone by between 2% and 15%(一项研究发现,在死皮中发现的油含量较高与臭氧含量较低有关。臭氧是一种会引起肺部不适的污染物。臭氧与这些油发生反应,从而使室内臭氧减少2%至15%),可知表示"家里有一些死皮可能不是坏事"的选项F符合本段的主题,reducing indoor ozone by between 2% and 15%和not be a bad thing是关键词,故选F。
