　　第一句：

　　What happened in 2012 to cause such dramatic shifts in behavior?

　　第二句

　　It was after the Great Recession, which officially lasted from 2007 to 2009 and had a starker effect on Millennials /trying to find a place in a sputtering economy.

　　参考译文：这事是在大衰退之后，这次衰退的官方说法是从2007年持续到2009年，而且这次萧条对那些试图在疲软的经济中找到一席之地的千禧一代产生了更明显的影响。

　　第三句：

　　But it was exactly the moment when the proportion of Americans who owned a smartphone surpassed 50 percent.

　　参考译文：但正是在这个时候，拥有智能手机的美国人比例超过了50%。

　　But 在这里是递进的含义，所以呼应了题干中的most 比较的含义。

　　(C)The widespread use of smartphone among Millennials.

　　这事正确答案!使用人数超过50%对应广泛使用。

　　加上among Millennials就是为了迷惑你，让你觉得不准确，但是你仔细思考一下，有什么不准确呢?而且还有更好的答案吗?

　　(D) The smartphone exercising more influence on Millennials.
