Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Last year before Thanksgiving,I had a 7-day paid leave and I decided to go on an overnight stay to a nearby fancy hotel Airbnb.I was drawn to the beautiful views and distance from the hustle and bustle (喧嚣) of the city.After I arrived,I was shocked to know that my room had no WiFi or even television! We were in a modern society,weren't we?Then what was the matter with them?
“We learned from recent studies that people avoiding social media for one week might result in considerable improvements in their well-being,depression,and anxiety,” the staff explained with patience to me when I questioned their service.“And now,many hotels and homestays around the world have been offering visitors exactly this,sir...”
Later,I ran across some brochures about such trend in my room.Sheldon Chalet,a famous place of interest in Alaska,has gone tech-free in an attempt to provide its guests with a truly relaxing vacation without technology.Owner Marne Sheldon hopes that guests can become less dependent of technology.“Here they can spend their nights looking at shooting stars and the aurora (极光),rather than checking through smartphones,messages and posts or watching the news.” For travelers who prefer peace in the sun and sand,one tiny island in the Caribbean has no televisions,telephones or WiFi.Guests at the island's resort have to communicate with staff using traditional methods,such as raising or lowering a flag outside their cottage!
“In today's environment of constant information and digital connection,many people are in need of a digital detox(排毒).” Anyway,as for my case,it is actually a new luxury—peace and quiet.

答案 A
B
When my mother died a few years ago,we looked through boxes in which she had lovingly stored her children's lives.Handwritten report cards from grade school.News cuttings about games.Postcards from summer camps.And so many photos:birthdays,graduations,weddings and trips to wonderful places.
After my father's death,I found many handwritten pity letters from his friends.Rereading them once a year,I am transported back to the time I miss so much.Of course,I received many emails about Dad as well,but I wouldn't begin to know how or where to find them.Besides,personal messages are more meaningful when presented in the hand of the sender.
My kids,now in their 20s,have mostly digital keepsakes.Increasingly they rely on Facebook to store memories.Their letters from college,sent by email,are long gone.Many photos,never printed,have disappeared.I really worry that for them.
In Andrew Hoskins' new book Digital Memory Studies,he concludes,“Despite the gradual disappearance of photographs,letters and other objects that are reminders of people and past experiences,their keeping is like holding on to those people and experiences.” Digital items offer nothing of the kind.
Mark B.McKinley explained that collecting physical memorabilia(值得纪念的事物)can serve as a means of control to bring out a comfort zone in one's life,calming fears and easing worries.It's no wonder that children are fond of collecting things—it's important to their development.
One mother says,“My son collects pieces of broken stones.” The kid might become a great geologist or a successful businessman.But will his mom print out a photo of that unique collection?Will his degree in geology be memorialized on paper,or will he be given a digital diploma?And will he collect his first paycheck or will he be paid by direct deposit?

6.What is Andrew Hoskins' attitude towards digital memory?
A.He is against it.
B.He is hopeful about it.
C.He is confused about it.

答案 D
Ⅱ.七选五
Could you remember what the first thing you do each day?The first thing I do when I wake up in the morning is check my phone.And I'll keep doing that throughout the entire day until I go back to bed.If,like me,a lot of your technology habits are automatic(无意识的),you may not even be aware of your behavior. 1 But with some efforts,you can engage with the digital world in a way that's appropriate for you.Here's how to get started.
2 Try turning off push notifications(推送通知)and deleting social media apps from your phone to create natural obstacles to access them.Of course sometimes there are people you want to keep up with and usually connect with on a particular platform.In this case,let them know how they can stay in touch.
Whatever you do,don't go to bed with your phone. 3 Sleeping without smart phones improves sleep,relationships,focus and well-being,and increases happiness and quality of life.So charging your phone somewhere else could help you experience those benefits.
Get to know yourself again by reinvesting in your hobbies.You can start by shutting down your social media for about a week,and then slow find your favorite apps one at a time over the following weeks.This will help you figure out which apps are contributing to your life and which aren't.Make a list of activities you enjoy and people you like hanging out with. 4
The goal with digital minimalism isn't to figure out how to live without social media or the Internet. 5 Technology should improve your life,not distract you from it.
A.Set some basic boundaries.
B.It can be difficult to change.
C.It give you an opportunity to grow in ways.
D.Ask yourself how you feel when you're using social media.
E.When you feel the urge to grab your phone,try one of those hobbies.
F.It's not ideal to put your phone next to the pillow to charge when you're sleeping.
G.In a word,you should be aware of when and how we use social media.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章就如何以适当的方式与数字世界互动给出了一些建议。
1.解析 空前的“The first thing I do...be aware of your behavior.”提到了“我”使用手机的不良习惯,同时结合空后的“But with some efforts...that's appropriate for you”可知,空处与下文构成转折关系,指出上文提到的不良习惯可能难以改变。结合选项可知,B项符合语境。
答案 B
2.解析 分析篇章结构可知,空处为本段主题句。下文主要建议我们可以尝试关掉推送通知以及删除手机上的社交媒体应用程序来为访问它们创造自然障碍。A项中的“boundaries”与空后一句中的“obstacles”前后呼应,故A项正确。
答案 A
3.解析 空前的“Whatever you do,don't go to bed with your phone.”提到不要拿着手机睡觉,同时结合空后的“Sleeping without smart phones...happiness and quality of lite.”可推知,空处应是说拿着手机或把手机放在身边睡觉的坏处。同时下文中“charging your phone somewhere else”将范围缩小,由此推知,空处应是与手机充电有关,故F项符合语境。
答案 F
4.解析 空处位于段末,应承接上文。根据上文中的“Get to know yourself again by reinvesting in your hobbies.” “Make a list of activities...hanging out with.”可知,当我们有玩手机的冲动时,就可以参考列出的清单,尝试做自己喜欢的事情。故选E。 feel an urge to do sth“有做某事的冲动”。
答案 E
5.解析 根据上文的“The goal with digital minimalism...or the Internet.”可推知,空处应是讲什么才是真正的数字极简主义。结合选项可知,G项符合语境,指出真正的数字极简主义是有意识地了解何时以及如何使用社交媒体。
答案 G
