9、echnology.【答案】1. A 2. B 3. D【解析】文章介绍了美国韩国日本三个国家的手机信息交流应用，和中国的微信一样。1. 细节理解题。通过三个不同的手机应用的比较会发现，根据最后一句话The popular app also allows friends to battle each other in the LINE Game.知道，LINE和另外两个的不同之处就是可以允许朋友们一起进行游戏， 故答案为A。2. 细节理解题。从三个App的features部分可以发现一个共同的部分file sharing,，故答案为B。3. 推理判断题。这三个都是关于手机的应用，介绍了应用的使

10、用平台，特征以及功能等，很明显是关于科技的，所以应该在报纸的科学技术版面，故答案为D。【名师点睛】细节理解题主要的答题策略有：（1）细心审题，直接就题找答案。解答此类试题时，不必通篇细看原文，而应采取“带着问题找答案”的方法，先从问题中抓住关键性词语（题眼），然后以此为线索，运用略读及查读的技巧快速在文章中寻找与此问题相关的：段落、语句，仔细品味，对照比较，确定答案。（2）变通理解，间接转述找答案。细节理解题通常采用词语和句型转换的形式来取代原文中的表述，命题者在出这类题时惯用“偷梁换柱、张冠李戴”的手法来迷惑考生，即对原句细微处做改动，截取原文词语或结构进行改造，因果倒置，把A的观点说成B的
