Dumb phones are basic phones with very limited（有限的） functionality（功能） compared to smart phones.You can typically only make and receive calls and text messages.And，if you are lucky you can listen to radio and take very basic photos，but certainly not connect to the internet or apps. Ms.West's decision to give up her former smartphone two years ago was a spur（心血来潮） of the moment thing.While looking for a replacement phone in a second-hand shop she was attracted by the low price of a "brick phone". It cost her just £8.And because it has no smartphone functionality she doesn't have an expensive monthly data bill（账单） to worry about. "I didn't notice until I bought a brick phone how much a smartphone was taking over my life，" she says. "I had a lot of social media apps on it，and I didn't get as much work done as I was always on my phone." Dumb phones are continuing to enjoy a revival（复兴）.Google searches for them jumped by 89% between 2018 and 2021.One report said that global sales of dumb phones were surprisingly one billion units last year，up from 400 million in 2019.This compares to worldwide sales of 1.4 billion smart phones last year，following a 12.5% fall in 2020. It appears nostalgia has a part to play in the dumb phone revival.Many of us had a dumb phone as our first mobile phone，so it's natural that we feel a sense of nostalgia towards these classic phones.

题目解答
答案
（1）细节理解题。根据Dumb phones are basic phones with very limited（有限的） functionality（功能） compared to smart phones.（与智能手机相比，笨手机是功能非常有限的基本手机。）可知笨手机只有很少的功能。故选B。
（2）理解判断题。根据Ms.West's decision to give up her former smartphone two years ago was a spur（心血来潮） of the moment thing.While looking for a replacement phone in a second-hand shop she was attracted by the low price of a "brick phone".It cost her just £8.And because it has no smartphone functionality she doesn't have an expensive monthly data bill（账单） to worry about."I didn't notice until I bought a brick phone how much a smartphone was taking over my life，" she says. "I had a lot of social media apps on it，and I didn't get as much work done as I was always on my phone."（韦斯特女士两年前决定放弃她以前的智能手机是心血来潮的事情。在二手商店寻找替换手机时，她被"砖头手机"的低价吸引住了。这只花了她8英镑。因为它没有智能手机功能，所以她不用担心昂贵的每月数据账单。 "直到我买了一部砖头手机，我才注意到智能手机在我的生活中占据了多大的份额，"她说。"我在手机上安装了很多社交媒体应用程序，我完成的工作没有我一直在手机上完成的多。"）可知B项与文意不符。故选B。
（3）理解判断题。根据Dumb phones are continuing to enjoy a revival（复兴）.Google searches for them jumped by 89% between 2018 and 2021.One report said that global sales of dumb phones were surprisingly one billion units last year，up from 400 million in 2019.This compares to worldwide sales of 1.4 billion smart phones last year，following a 12.5% fall in 2020.（笨手机正在继续复苏。2018年至2021年间，谷歌对它们的搜索量跃升了89%。一份报告称，去年笨能手机的全球销量令人惊讶地达到10亿部，高于2019年的4亿部。相比之下，去年全球智能手机销量为14亿部，2020年下降12.5%。）可知笨手机的销量比之前要好。故选D。
（4）词义猜测题。根据后文Many of us had a dumb phone as our first mobile phone，so it's natural that we feel a sense of nostalgia towards these classic phones.（我们很多人的第一部手机都是笨手机，所以我们对这些经典手机有一种怀旧的感觉是很自然的。）可知此处意为怀旧似乎在笨手机的复兴中扮演了一个角色，故选C。
（5）目的意图题。根据Dumb phones are continuing to enjoy a revival（复兴）.Google searches for them jumped by 89% between 2018 and 2021.One report said that global sales of dumb phones were surprisingly one billion units last year，up from 400 million in 2019.This compares to worldwide sales of 1.4 billion smart phones last year，following a 12.5% fall in 2020.（笨手机正在继续复苏。2018年至2021年间，谷歌对它们的搜索量跃升了89%。一份报告称，去年笨能手机的全球销量令人惊讶地达到10亿部，高于2019年的4亿部。相比之下，去年全球智能手机销量为14亿部，2020年下降12.5%。）及全文可知文章介绍了笨手机的复兴。故选A。
