1. 導(dǎo)語解讀:要求考生根據(jù)漫畫內(nèi)容就“手機應(yīng)用程序”這一話題進行描述,并分析智能手機上應(yīng)用程序的利弊。
2. 漫畫解讀:圖片上的兩個人正在聊天。由下面注解文字可知,他們說的是手機應(yīng)用程序泛濫的現(xiàn)象。女士說,手機應(yīng)用程序確實能夠做到很多不可思議的事情,但是它卻做不到通過遙控的方式清理貓砂(即貓廁)。這顯然用戲謔的手法反映出人們過分依賴手機應(yīng)用程序的現(xiàn)實。
3. 文章立意:手機應(yīng)用程序能給人們的生活帶來許多新奇的東西,但是它們不是萬能的。因此,在享受手機應(yīng)用程序所帶來的新奇的同時,也不要因為手機應(yīng)用程序而忽略掉真實生活中的一切。

如圖所示,一位女士正在向一位男士抱怨手機應(yīng)用程序的美中不足之處。這幅漫畫的寓意在于提醒人們要正確對待手機應(yīng)用程序,不要過度依賴它們。
正如任何事物都有兩面性一樣,手機應(yīng)用程序也不例外。一方面,眾多的手機應(yīng)用程序會給智能手機使用者帶來方便。在他們的手機連接互聯(lián)網(wǎng)后,他們可以做大量的事情:購物、與朋友聊天、收郵件、開視頻會議、閱讀電子書、看電影等。另一方面,不能忽視手機應(yīng)用程序的負面影響。首先,有一些手機應(yīng)用程序可能會導(dǎo)致信息泄露,這對手機用戶來說是很危險的。其次,過度使用智能手機對人的身心健康都有危害。最后但同等重要的是,過度依賴手機應(yīng)用程序可能會讓人們沉迷于虛擬的世界,與外界脫節(jié),忽視身邊所有的一切。
總之,應(yīng)該明智地使用手機應(yīng)用程序。在享受它帶來的便利的同時,人們也應(yīng)該保持清醒,避免陷入一個虛幻的世界。

句法點評
1. Firstly, some apps may lead to message leakage, which is dangerous for the users.
本句中,which引導(dǎo)非限制性定語從句。which指代前面提到的整個句子,即一些應(yīng)用程序可能導(dǎo)致信息泄露。
2. To conclude, mobile apps should be utilized wisely.
to conclude是作結(jié)論時的用語,以結(jié)束全文,意為“總之”,相當于in a word或in summary等。
