1.What does the author say about the negative impact of smartphones?(C)
A. It has been overshadowed by the positive impact.
B. It has more often than not been taken for granted.
C. It is not so obvious but has caused some concern.
D. It is subtle but should by no means be overstated.
解析：细节题。根据题干关键词negative impact of smartphones可定位至第三段。第二句至末句指出Often the advantages of convenient，mobile technology are both obvious…And what are the implications for privacy?(通常，便捷、移动技术的优势是显而易见的，也被认为是理所当然的，这就留下了更微妙的话题供人们讨论：智能手机会干扰儿童的睡眠吗?无法摆脱工作对健康有负面影响吗?这对隐私有什么影响吗?)，这三个问题都是关于智能手机的负面影响的，可见C项“负面影响并不明显，但引起了一些担忧”是对原文leaving more subtle topics for concerned discussion的同义替换。故本题选C。A项“负面影响被正面影响掩盖”属于无中生有，原文并未涉及二者的比较。B项“人们往往认为负面影响是理所当然的”与原文不符，原文是说advantages是理所当然的。D项“负面影响是微妙的，但决不应被夸大”属于过度推断，原文虽然提到了subtle，但并未提及是否应被夸大。
2.What is considered a less obvious advantage of smartphone technology?(D)
A. It systematically records real human interactions.
B. It helps people benefit from technological advances.
C. It brings people into closer contact with each other.
D. It greatly improves research on human behavior.
解析：细节题。根据题干关键词a less obvious advantage of smartphone technology可定位至第四段第一句。该句指出…let’s take a moment to consider a less obvious advantage: the potential for smartphone technology to revolutionize behavioral science (让我们花点时间考虑下智能手机一个不太明显的优势：智能手机技术有彻底改变行为科学的潜力)，D项“它极大地改进了对人类行为的研究”是对该句的同义替换，greatly improves research on human behavior对应原文的 revolutionize behavioral science，“对人类行为的研究”即“行为科学”。故本题选D。A项“它系统地记录了真实的人类互动”利用第五段末句的how they behaved in real life设置干扰，但原文并未涉及人类的互动，且这也不是第四段指出的优势。B项“它帮助人们从技术进步中受益”属于无中生有。C项“它使人们之间的联系更加紧密”利用第四段第二句的continuous contact with technology设置干扰，但原文是说人类与技术的接触，而不是人们之间的接触。
3.What characterizes traditional psychological research?(B)
A. It is based on huge amounts of carefully collected data.
B. It relies on lab observations and participants’ reports.
C. It makes use of the questionnaire method.
D. It is often expensive and time-consuming.
解析：细节题。根据题干关键词characterizes traditional psychological research可定位至第五段末句。该句指出These studies are confirming…and artificial laboratory-based tasks(这些研究正在证实、挑战和扩展使用更传统的方法发现的成果，人们利用这些传统方法报告自己在现实生活中的行为或参与时间相对较短且基干人工实验室的任务)。B项“依赖于实验室观察和参与者的报告”是传统的心理学研究的特征，lab observations对应原文的artificial laboratory-based tasks participants’ reports对应原文的report how they behaved in real life。故本题选B。A项“它基于大量精心收集的数据”利用第七段末句的rich data设置干扰，但原文是说“智能手机提供了丰富的数据”，而非“传统心理学研究基于大量精心收集的数据”。C项“采用问卷调查法”和D项“这通常既昂贵又耗时”均属于无中生有。
4.How will future psychological studies benefit individuals?(A)
A. By helping them pin down their unusual behaviors.
B. By helping them maintain a positive state of mind.
C. By helping them live their lives in a unique way.
D. By helping them cope with abnormal situations.
解析：细节题。根据题干关键词future psychological studies和benefit individuals可定位至第六段。末句指出…the right combination of data and analysis can also help individuals identify unique…an unusual increase in behaviors that signal a period of depression(……数据和分析的正确组合还可以帮助个人识别自己行为的独特特征，包括可能表明需要某种形式干预的情况——例如，标志着抑郁期的行为的异常增加)。由此可推知，A项“(未来的心理学研究将)通过帮助人们确定自己的异常行为(造福个人)”符合文意，pin down意为“确定，证实”，对应原文的identify，unusual behaviors对应原文例子中的unusual increase in behaviors。故本题选A。B项“帮助人们保持积极的心态”属于无中生有。C项
