Here are the best online language learning courses we’ve put together for your reference. Rosetta Stone Price: $7.99 per month — $199 one-time payment Number of languages: 28 Rosetta Stone has long been known as the go-to service for new language learners. It offers lessons that are short enough to complete each day, but long enough to actually get something out of. Rosetta Stone’s interface (界面) is generally easy to use, and its lessons include reading, writing, speaking and listening, all in one lesson. You can also choose to subscribe (订阅) to a monthly payment or purchase a lifetime license. Duolingo Price: Free — $6.99 per month Number of languages: 36 Duolingo has risen as a serious competitor to Rosetta Stone over the past few years. The service is perhaps best known for its Android and iOS apps and those apps are available for free, which makes it easy to practice your chosen language without having to make a serious commitment. Alternatively, you can sign up for Duolingo Plus, which removes ads, offers offline courses, and more. Many consider Duolingo to be better for those who want to practice a language rather than learning from the very beginning. Babbel Price: $6.95 per month — $12.95 per month Number of languages: 14 Looking for a service to challenge your language-learning skills? Babbel may be the way to go. Babbel is excellent at teaching phrases and words that you’ll actually use on a day-to-day basis. The service is also relatively cheap, so if you’re unsure if you want to commit to learning a new language yet, the low subscription prices ensure you don’t have to make a huge commitment. Memrise Price: $6.67 per month — $119.99 one-time payment Number of languages: 16 If you learn best through repetition and flashcards (识字卡), then Memrise may be the service for you. It’s relatively inexpensive, making it easier to sign up. Memrise isn’t necessarily the service for those who want to learn a language from scratch (从头开始), but it’s a great learning aid, and good for those who already have a foundation in language-learning. 36．What is special about Rosetta Stone? A．It features a simple interface without ads. B．It is intended for high-level learners. C．It helps improve various language skills. D．It offers a one-month free trial. 37．What is Babbel’s focus when it comes to teaching language? A．Grammatical rules and syntactic structures. B．Accent and pronunciation. C．Vocabulary and everyday phrases. D．Cultural customs and traditions. 38．Which of the following is TRUE about Memrise? A．It’s very expensive for most learners. B．It’s not a good choice for people with basic language . C．It’s easy to sign up because of its low price. D．It offers more than 20 languages for learning. 39．What do Duolingo and Memrise have in common? A．They offer free Android and iOS apps. B．They are more suitable for people with certain basis. C．They allow users to take offline courses. D．They provide courses of over 20 languages. 40．What is the purpose of the passage? A．To encourage students to learn a new language. B．To provide four apps for only English learners. C．To show the benefits of learning language online. D．To introduce four language learning courses online. B The goal of this book is to make the case for digital minimalism, including a detailed exploration of what it asks and why it works, and then to teach you how to adopt this philosophy if you decide it’s right for you. To do so, I divided the book into two parts. In part one I describe the philosophical foundations of digital minimalism, starting with an examination of the forces that are making so many people’s digital lives increasingly intolerable, before moving on to a detailed discussion of the digital minimalism philosophy. Part one concludes by introducing my suggested method for adopting this philosophy; the digital declutter. This process requires you to step away from optional online activities for thirty days. At the end of the thirty days, you will then add back a small number of carefully chosen online activities that you believe will provide massive benefits to the things you value. In the final chapter of part one, I’ll guide you through carrying out your own digital declutter. In doing so, I’ll draw on an experiment I ran in 2018 in which over 1,600 people agreed to perform a digital declutter. You’ll hear these participants’ stories and learn what strategies worked well for them, and what traps they encountered that you should avoid. The second part of this book takes a closer look at some ideas that will help you cultivate a sustainable digital minimalism lifestyle. In these chapters, I examine issues such as the importance of solitude and the necessity of cultivating high-quality leisure to replace the time most now spent on mindless device use. Each chapter concludes with a collection of practices, which are designed to help you act on the big ideas of the chapter. You can view these practices as a toolbox meant to aid your efforts to build a minimalist lifestyle that works for your particular circumstances. 41．What is the book aimed at? A．Teaching critical thinking skills. B．Advocating a simple digital lifestyle. C．Solving philosophical problems. D．Promoting the use of a digital device. 42．How does the writer offer suggestions in the first part? A．By providing the detailed discussion of the digital minimalism philosophy firstly. B．By studying the elements that lead to people’s digital lives increasingly unbearable. C．By teaching people how to increasingly adopt digital minimalism. D．By dividing the book into two parts forcing people to adopt the philosophy. 43．What does the underlined word “declutter” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Clear-up. B．Add-on. C．Check-in. D．Take-over 44．What is presented in the final chapter of part one? A．Theoretical models. B．Statistical methods. C．Practical examples. D．Historical analyses. 45．What does the author suggest readers do with the practices offered in part two? A．Use them as needed. B．Recommend them to friends. C．Evaluate their effects. D．Identify the ideas behind them. C In a society of endless notifications from apps, devices and social media platforms, as well as access to more information than we could possibly consider, how do we find ways to manage? And is the way, we think, focusing on and processing information changing as a result? Maryanne Wolf is a director of the Center for Dyslexia, Diverse Learners and Social Justice at the University of California in the United States. Wolf is concerned that the amount of interaction we have with our screens and devices and the speed at which we necessarily have to function have changed us by removing from us the ability to be present. And we’re so accustomed to going so fast that becoming completely involved in an activity is difficult. Kai Lukoff is an assistant professor at Santa Clara University in the U.S. He researches how the apps, social media platforms and technology designers attempt to catch a user’s attention. He said, “There are a thousand or more engineers, developers, and designers on the other side of the screen who are purposefully or intentionally designing these services in order to attract your attention, to get you to spend more time on the site and to get you to click on more ads.” Daniel Le Roux is a senior lecturer at Stellenbosch University in South Africa. He looks at the effects of what we’re doing when we’re “media multitasking”. “Everybody’s doing it, and it’s, in a large way, a natural adaptation to the technological environment that has been created around us,” he said. “Media multitasking, like quick reading, is an adaptive response to an environment filled with information. And media multitasking comes at a cognitive (认知的) cost.” Le Roux points out. “We bring what we might call the switch cost; that means our performance in the key task is going to suffer. If you think of driving as the key task, the reason we prohibit drivers from using their smartphones while driving is that it distracts them from the task of driving.” 46．What’s the result of our interaction with screens according to Wolf? A．Having trouble in concentrating. B．Ignoring family and friends easily. C．Responding to information quickly. D．Having technology to assist with study. 47．What does Kai Lukoff intend to stress with his words? A．The importance of colorful ads. B．The strong attraction of social media. C．The operation of social media platforms. D．The great service of network developers. 48．Why does media multitasking occur? A．To train us to handle tasks effectively. B．To reduce the bad effect of social media. C．To offer more ways to use technology. D．To adjust us to the information age. 49．What is the switch cost mentioned by Daniel Le Roux? A．We tend to forget our original intention. B．We get distracted from our main mission. C．We lose some important information. D．We have to follow the fashion in technology. 50．Which is the best title for the text? A．Challenges in the Digital Age B．Dangers of Media Multitasking C．Impacts of Technology on Attention D．Methods of Dealing with Electronic Distractions D Technology is supposed to simplify our lives. Smartphones provide a palm-sized window on the world, enabling us to do almost anything with a mere tap. Smart homes manage themselves, and virtual meetings mean that commuting (通勤) is a thing of the past for many. So, we should have more time to sleep, relax, or simply enjoy a moment of doing nothing, right? If this idea strikes you as a bit of a paradox, you are not alone. Growing evidence suggests that while digital technology indeed helps us save some time, we often end up using that time to do more things. We recently conducted interviews across Europe to understand how people use digital devices in their daily lives. Whether it was waiting for a bus, waking up in the morning, or lying in bed at night, our respondents reported that time that would have previously been “empty” was now filled with tech-driven tasks. The growth in digital tasks is partly due to how technology is changing our perception of free time. For many, it is no longer enough to simply eat a meal, watch TV, or take an exercise class. Instead, in an attempt to avoid “wasting” time, they often do these activities while browsing the Web in search of the ingredients for a perfect life and a sense of achievement. These changes are also thought to be intensifying work. Home and hybrid working, enabled by video conferencing technology, have blurred the boundaries between work time and personal time. With the office now just a room away, it is tempting to think, “I’ll just finish this up after putting the kids to bed.” Digital technologies are speeding up the pace of life. However, poorly designed technology can also force us to do more work because of the inefficiencies it creates. We have all encountered the frustration of entering data into system A only to find that it does not integrate with system B, forcing us to re-enter the same information in both. By adding more tasks to our plates, we may end up achieving less and feeling worse. Reclaiming the time “saved” by technology requires a shift in how we use our time. To break free of the habit of filling time with more and more tasks, we need to first accept that sometimes it is okay to do less or nothing at all. In the work environment, employers and employees alike need to create an environment in which disconnection is acceptable. This means setting realistic expectations about what can be achieved in a typical workday. Moreover, technology itself may hold the key to reclaiming our time. Imagine if, instead of telling you to stand up and move around for another task, your smartwatch reminded you to stop working because you had reached your contracted work hours. Perhaps when technology starts to tell us to do less, we will finally be able to regain control of our time. 51．The “paradox” mentioned in Paragraph 2 refers to the fact that ______. A．smart homes require more management than traditional ones B．technology is meant to free up time but often leads to more tasks C．people feel frustrated when technology fails to integrate systems D．virtual meetings eliminate commuting but add new forms of work 52．What is the author’s attitude to the idea that “digital technology helps us save time”? A．Supportive. B．Opposed. C．Skeptical. D．Unconcerned. 53．What role does Paragraph 3 play in the passage? A．It contrasts the different ways people use smartphones in various situations. B．It illustrates how digital devices fill previously “leisure” time with new tasks. C．It explains the technical reasons behind the integration failure of digital systems. D．It provides statistical evidence to support the claim about tech-driven assignments. 54．What does the author imply by mentioning the smartwatch example? A．Technology should prioritize reminding users to rest over suggesting tasks. B．Employers should equip employees with advanced time-management devices. C．Physical movement reminders are unnecessary additions to digital routines. D．Smartwatches are currently ineffective in helping users manage time. 55．What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage? A．To criticize the inefficiency of current digital technologies. B．To compare the traditional way of life with the digitalized one. C．To advocate a shift in perceiving and using free time in digital age. D．To reveal the unexpected outcome of employing digital technology. 第二部分:写作(共两节，满分35分) 第一节：阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容完成下列各题。 When sports journalist Shireen Ahmed thinks about covering the 2024 Olympics, one moment stands out: a video she shot on her phone of her and her workmates at CBC taken just as the Canadian men’s team won the 4×100m relay. That wasn’t the only viral moment from last year’s Games. In fact, Ahmed says she and her workmates used social media to cover the Olympics like never before. Some of the Games’ most viral moments took off owing to media companies or individual journalists’ posts, including photos of Yusuf Dikec, the Turkish shooter who went viral for his shooting stance (姿势), Likewise American gymnast Simone Biles and Jordan Chiles bowing to Brazilian Rebecca Andrade after she took gold in the women’s floor final, and Australia’s Rachael Gunn, whose awkward breakdancing drew the internet’s attention. These moments had a huge impact on how fans consumed the events. However, one-off viral moments aren’t the only way social media has changed sports reporting, Ahmed says. The dissemination of information and the ways that happened have changed greatly, which enable people to have access to athletes and watch their own commentary about personal and social issues. And media companies are increasingly relying on podcasting, a medium that has become hugely popular among audiences. According to a 2024 report from SiriusXM, there has been a 39 per cent rise in demand for sports podcasts since 2019. In 2022 alone, there was a 32 per cent increase in the number of sports podcasts being produced. At the same time, there was a 119 per cent growth in downloads, indicating podcast consumption grew more and faster. To Ahmed, videos might be an even bigger game-changer, especially on TikTok. That social media app has become extremely popular with sports journalists, who often use the platform to share a quick hit of analysis or opinion, or to deliver a short but informative explainer video, which breaks down a particular aspect of sport in 60 seconds or so. These are an important part of the overall editorial strategy for many sports departments, she says, because these concise, interesting and sometimes unexpected videos are both fascinating to audiences and effective at keeping them watching. 56．How did social media influence the way people experienced the 2024 Olympics? (no more than 10 words) 57．What does the underlined word “dissemination” in paragraph 2 mean? (1 word) 58．What is Ahmed’s opinion of sports videos on TikTok? (no more than 5 words) 59．What is the text mainly about? (no more than 10 words) 60．How does social media change your life? Please explain.

B The goal of this book is to make the case for digital minimalism, including a detailed exploration of what it asks and why it works, and then to teach you how to adopt this philosophy if you decide it’s right for you. To do so, I divided the book into two parts. In part one I describe the philosophical foundations of digital minimalism, starting with an examination of the forces that are making so many people’s digital lives increasingly intolerable, before moving on to a detailed discussion of the digital minimalism philosophy. Part one concludes by introducing my suggested method for adopting this philosophy; the digital declutter. This process requires you to step away from optional online activities for thirty days. At the end of the thirty days, you will then add back a small number of carefully chosen online activities that you believe will provide massive benefits to the things you value. In the final chapter of part one, I’ll guide you through carrying out your own digital declutter. In doing so, I’ll draw on an experiment I ran in 2018 in which over 1,600 people agreed to perform a digital declutter. You’ll hear these participants’ stories and learn what strategies worked well for them, and what traps they encountered that you should avoid. The second part of this book takes a closer look at some ideas that will help you cultivate a sustainable digital minimalism lifestyle. In these chapters, I examine issues such as the importance of solitude and the necessity of cultivating high-quality leisure to replace the time most now spent on mindless device use. Each chapter concludes with a collection of practices, which are designed to help you act on the big ideas of the chapter. You can view these practices as a toolbox meant to aid your efforts to build a minimalist lifestyle that works for your particular circumstances. 41．What is the book aimed at? A．Teaching critical thinking skills. B．Advocating a simple digital lifestyle. C．Solving philosophical problems. D．Promoting the use of a digital device. 42．How does the writer offer suggestions in the first part? A．By providing the detailed discussion of the digital minimalism philosophy firstly. B．By studying the elements that lead to people’s digital lives increasingly unbearable. C．By teaching people how to increasingly adopt digital minimalism. D．By dividing the book into two parts forcing people to adopt the philosophy. 43．What does the underlined word “declutter” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Clear-up. B．Add-on. C．Check-in. D．Take-over 44．What is presented in the final chapter of part one? A．Theoretical models. B．Statistical methods. C．Practical examples. D．Historical analyses. 45．What does the author suggest readers do with the practices offered in part two? A．Use them as needed. B．Recommend them to friends. C．Evaluate their effects. D．Identify the ideas behind them. C In a society of endless notifications from apps, devices and social media platforms, as well as access to more information than we could possibly consider, how do we find ways to manage? And is the way, we think, focusing on and processing information changing as a result? Maryanne Wolf is a director of the Center for Dyslexia, Diverse Learners and Social Justice at the University of California in the United States. Wolf is concerned that the amount of interaction we have with our screens and devices and the speed at which we necessarily have to function have changed us by removing from us the ability to be present. And we’re so accustomed to going so fast that becoming completely involved in an activity is difficult. Kai Lukoff is an assistant professor at Santa Clara University in the U.S. He researches how the apps, social media platforms and technology designers attempt to catch a user’s attention. He said, “There are a thousand or more engineers, developers, and designers on the other side of the screen who are purposefully or intentionally designing these services in order to attract your attention, to get you to spend more time on the site and to get you to click on more ads.” Daniel Le Roux is a senior lecturer at Stellenbosch University in South Africa. He looks at the effects of what we’re doing when we’re “media multitasking”. “Everybody’s doing it, and it’s, in a large way, a natural adaptation to the technological environment that has been created around us,” he said. “Media multitasking, like quick reading, is an adaptive response to an environment filled with information. And media multitasking comes at a cognitive (认知的) cost.” Le Roux points out. “We bring what we might call the switch cost; that means our performance in the key task is going to suffer. If you think of driving as the key task, the reason we prohibit drivers from using their smartphones while driving is that it distracts them from the task of driving.” 46．What’s the result of our interaction with screens according to Wolf? A．Having trouble in concentrating. B．Ignoring family and friends easily. C．Responding to information quickly. D．Having technology to assist with study. 47．What does Kai Lukoff intend to stress with his words? A．The importance of colorful ads. B．The strong attraction of social media. C．The operation of social media platforms. D．The great service of network developers. 48．Why does media multitasking occur? A．To train us to handle tasks effectively. B．To reduce the bad effect of social media. C．To offer more ways to use technology. D．To adjust us to the information age. 49．What is the switch cost mentioned by Daniel Le Roux? A．We tend to forget our original intention. B．We get distracted from our main mission. C．We lose some important information. D．We have to follow the fashion in technology. 50．Which is the best title for the text? A．Challenges in the Digital Age B．Dangers of Media Multitasking C．Impacts of Technology on Attention D．Methods of Dealing with Electronic Distractions D Technology is supposed to simplify our lives. Smartphones provide a palm-sized window on the world, enabling us to do almost anything with a mere tap. Smart homes manage themselves, and virtual meetings mean that commuting (通勤) is a thing of the past for many. So, we should have more time to sleep, relax, or simply enjoy a moment of doing nothing, right? If this idea strikes you as a bit of a paradox, you are not alone. Growing evidence suggests that while digital technology indeed helps us save some time, we often end up using that time to do more things. We recently conducted interviews across Europe to understand how people use digital devices in their daily lives. Whether it was waiting for a bus, waking up in the morning, or lying in bed at night, our respondents reported that time that would have previously been “empty” was now filled with tech-driven tasks. The growth in digital tasks is partly due to how technology is changing our perception of free time. For many, it is no longer enough to simply eat a meal, watch TV, or take an exercise class. Instead, in an attempt to avoid “wasting” time, they often do these activities while browsing the Web in search of the ingredients for a perfect life and a sense of achievement. These changes are also thought to be intensifying work. Home and hybrid working, enabled by video conferencing technology, have blurred the boundaries between work time and personal time. With the office now just a room away, it is tempting to think, “I’ll just finish this up after putting the kids to bed.” Digital technologies are speeding up the pace of life. However, poorly designed technology can also force us to do more work because of the inefficiencies it creates. We have all encountered the frustration of entering data into system A only to find that it does not integrate with system B, forcing us to re-enter the same information in both. By adding more tasks to our plates, we may end up achieving less and feeling worse. Reclaiming the time “saved” by technology requires a shift in how we use our time. To break free of the habit of filling time with more and more tasks, we need to first accept that sometimes it is okay to do less or nothing at all. In the work environment, employers and employees alike need to create an environment in which disconnection is acceptable. This means setting realistic expectations about what can be achieved in a typical workday. Moreover, technology itself may hold the key to reclaiming our time. Imagine if, instead of telling you to stand up and move around for another task, your smartwatch reminded you to stop working because you had reached your contracted work hours. Perhaps when technology starts to tell us to do less, we will finally be able to regain control of our time. 51．The “paradox” mentioned in Paragraph 2 refers to the fact that ______. A．smart homes require more management than traditional ones B．technology is meant to free up time but often leads to more tasks C．people feel frustrated when technology fails to integrate systems D．virtual meetings eliminate commuting but add new forms of work 52．What is the author’s attitude to the idea that “digital technology helps us save time”? A．Supportive. B．Opposed. C．Skeptical. D．Unconcerned. 53．What role does Paragraph 3 play in the passage? A．It contrasts the different ways people use smartphones in various situations. B．It illustrates how digital devices fill previously “leisure” time with new tasks. C．It explains the technical reasons behind the integration failure of digital systems. D．It provides statistical evidence to support the claim about tech-driven assignments. 54．What does the author imply by mentioning the smartwatch example? A．Technology should prioritize reminding users to rest over suggesting tasks. B．Employers should equip employees with advanced time-management devices. C．Physical movement reminders are unnecessary additions to digital routines. D．Smartwatches are currently ineffective in helping users manage time. 55．What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage? A．To criticize the inefficiency of current digital technologies. B．To compare the traditional way of life with the digitalized one. C．To advocate a shift in perceiving and using free time in digital age. D．To reveal the unexpected outcome of employing digital technology. 第二部分:写作(共两节，满分35分) 第一节：阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容完成下列各题。 When sports journalist Shireen Ahmed thinks about covering the 2024 Olympics, one moment stands out: a video she shot on her phone of her and her workmates at CBC taken just as the Canadian men’s team won the 4×100m relay. That wasn’t the only viral moment from last year’s Games. In fact, Ahmed says she and her workmates used social media to cover the Olympics like never before. Some of the Games’ most viral moments took off owing to media companies or individual journalists’ posts, including photos of Yusuf Dikec, the Turkish shooter who went viral for his shooting stance (姿势), Likewise American gymnast Simone Biles and Jordan Chiles bowing to Brazilian Rebecca Andrade after she took gold in the women’s floor final, and Australia’s Rachael Gunn, whose awkward breakdancing drew the internet’s attention. These moments had a huge impact on how fans consumed the events. However, one-off viral moments aren’t the only way social media has changed sports reporting, Ahmed says. The dissemination of information and the ways that happened have changed greatly, which enable people to have access to athletes and watch their own commentary about personal and social issues. And media companies are increasingly relying on podcasting, a medium that has become hugely popular among audiences. According to a 2024 report from SiriusXM, there has been a 39 per cent rise in demand for sports podcasts since 2019. In 2022 alone, there was a 32 per cent increase in the number of sports podcasts being produced. At the same time, there was a 119 per cent growth in downloads, indicating podcast consumption grew more and faster. To Ahmed, videos might be an even bigger game-changer, especially on TikTok. That social media app has become extremely popular with sports journalists, who often use the platform to share a quick hit of analysis or opinion, or to deliver a short but informative explainer video, which breaks down a particular aspect of sport in 60 seconds or so. These are an important part of the overall editorial strategy for many sports departments, she says, because these concise, interesting and sometimes unexpected videos are both fascinating to audiences and effective at keeping them watching. 56．How did social media influence the way people experienced the 2024 Olympics? (no more than 10 words) 57．What does the underlined word “dissemination” in paragraph 2 mean? (1 word) 58．What is Ahmed’s opinion of sports videos on TikTok? (no more than 5 words) 59．What is the text mainly about? (no more than 10 words) 60．How does social media change your life? Please explain.

I’m Li Jin, a Senior 3 student from Chenguang Middle School. I firmly support that some public places should be phone-free. Firstly, libraries are ideal for phone restrictions. Keeping phones silent or off helps people focus on reading and avoids disturbing others. Secondly, hospitals need strict phone bans, as phone calls may affect patients’ rest and even interfere with medical equipment. Personally, I always follow phone rules in public. Once in a library, I put my phone on silent mode and only checked it after finishing my study. When taking buses, I never speak loudly on the phone. In short, proper phone restrictions in public benefit everyone. Let’s use phones wisely. 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年高二英语选择性必修第三册单元自测（天津专用） Unit 4·培优卷 学校:___________班级：___________姓名：___________分数：___________ （时间：100分钟，满分：130分） 注意事项： 1．本试卷分第Ⅰ卷（选择题）和第Ⅱ卷（非选择题）两部分。答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2．回答第Ⅰ卷时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。写在本试卷上无效。 3．回答第Ⅱ卷时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 4．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分） 第一节：单项填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 1．— What are you going to do this Sunday? —______ .

To do so, I divided the book into two parts. In part one I describe the philosophical foundations of digital minimalism, starting with an examination of the forces that are making so many people’s digital lives increasingly intolerable, before moving on to a detailed discussion of the digital minimalism philosophy. Part one concludes by introducing my suggested method for adopting this philosophy; the digital declutter. This process requires you to step away from optional online activities for thirty days. At the end of the thirty days, you will then add back a small number of carefully chosen online activities that you believe will provide massive benefits to the things you value. In the final chapter of part one, I’ll guide you through carrying out your own digital declutter. In doing so, I’ll draw on an experiment I ran in 2018 in which over 1,600 people agreed to perform a digital declutter. You’ll hear these participants’ stories and learn what strategies worked well for them, and what traps they encountered that you should avoid. The second part of this book takes a closer look at some ideas that will help you cultivate a sustainable digital minimalism lifestyle. In these chapters, I examine issues such as the importance of solitude and the necessity of cultivating high-quality leisure to replace the time most now spent on mindless device use. Each chapter concludes with a collection of practices, which are designed to help you act on the big ideas of the chapter. You can view these practices as a toolbox meant to aid your efforts to build a minimalist lifestyle that works for your particular circumstances. 41．What is the book aimed at? A．Teaching critical thinking skills. B．Advocating a simple digital lifestyle. C．Solving philosophical problems. D．Promoting the use of a digital device. 42．How does the writer offer suggestions in the first part? A．By providing the detailed discussion of the digital minimalism philosophy firstly. B．By studying the elements that lead to people’s digital lives increasingly unbearable. C．By teaching people how to increasingly adopt digital minimalism. D．By dividing the book into two parts forcing people to adopt the philosophy. 43．What does the underlined word “declutter” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Clear-up. B．Add-on. C．Check-in. D．Take-over 44．What is presented in the final chapter of part one? A．Theoretical models. B．Statistical methods. C．Practical examples. D．Historical analyses. 45．What does the author suggest readers do with the practices offered in part two? A．Use them as needed. B．Recommend them to friends. C．Evaluate their effects. D．Identify the ideas behind them. 【答案】41．B 42．B 43．A 44．C 45．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一本关于数字极简主义的书籍，包括书籍结构、核心理念及帮助读者践行该理念的具体方法与实践工具。 41．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The goal of this book is to make the case for digital minimalism, including a detailed exploration of what it asks and why it works, and then to teach you how to adopt this philosophy if you decide it’s right for you. (这本书的目标是为数字极简主义进行论证，包括详细探讨其内涵和可行性，进而指导你在认为该理念适合自己时如何去践行它)”可知，这本书旨在倡导简约的数字生活方式。故选B项。 42．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In part one I describe the philosophical foundations of digital minimalism, starting with an examination of the forces that are making so many people’s digital lives increasingly intolerable, before moving on to a detailed discussion of the digital minimalism philosophy. (在第一部分中，我阐述了数字极简主义的哲学基础，首先分析那些让许多人的数字生活变得越发难以忍受的因素，之后再深入探讨数字极简主义这一理念)”可知，作者在第一部分是通过先研究导致人们数字生活不堪重负的因素来提出相关建议的。故选B项。 43．词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“This process requires you to step away from optional online activities for thirty days. At the end of the thirty days, you will then add back a small number of carefully chosen online activities that you believe will provide massive benefits to the things you value. (这个过程要求你在三十天内远离非必要的线上活动。三十天结束后，你再重新选择并回归少量你认为会给你所珍视的事物带来巨大价值的线上活动)”可知，这个过程是对数字生活进行梳理和精简，因此“declutter”的意思是“清理、精简”，与“clear-up”同义。故选A项。 44．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“In the final chapter of part one, I’ll guide you through carrying out your own digital declutter. In doing so, I’ll draw on an experiment I ran in 2018 in which over 1,600 people agreed to perform a digital declutter. You’ll hear these participants’ stories and learn what strategies worked well for them, and what traps they encountered that you should avoid.

And is the way, we think, focusing on and processing information changing as a result? Maryanne Wolf is a director of the Center for Dyslexia, Diverse Learners and Social Justice at the University of California in the United States. Wolf is concerned that the amount of interaction we have with our screens and devices and the speed at which we necessarily have to function have changed us by removing from us the ability to be present. And we’re so accustomed to going so fast that becoming completely involved in an activity is difficult. Kai Lukoff is an assistant professor at Santa Clara University in the U.S. He researches how the apps, social media platforms and technology designers attempt to catch a user’s attention. He said, “There are a thousand or more engineers, developers, and designers on the other side of the screen who are purposefully or intentionally designing these services in order to attract your attention, to get you to spend more time on the site and to get you to click on more ads.” Daniel Le Roux is a senior lecturer at Stellenbosch University in South Africa. He looks at the effects of what we’re doing when we’re “media multitasking”. “Everybody’s doing it, and it’s, in a large way, a natural adaptation to the technological environment that has been created around us,” he said. “Media multitasking, like quick reading, is an adaptive response to an environment filled with information. And media multitasking comes at a cognitive (认知的) cost.” Le Roux points out. “We bring what we might call the switch cost; that means our performance in the key task is going to suffer. If you think of driving as the key task, the reason we prohibit drivers from using their smartphones while driving is that it distracts them from the task of driving.” 46．What’s the result of our interaction with screens according to Wolf? A．Having trouble in concentrating. B．Ignoring family and friends easily. C．Responding to information quickly. D．Having technology to assist with study. 47．What does Kai Lukoff intend to stress with his words? A．The importance of colorful ads. B．The strong attraction of social media. C．The operation of social media platforms. D．The great service of network developers. 48．Why does media multitasking occur? A．To train us to handle tasks effectively. B．To reduce the bad effect of social media. C．To offer more ways to use technology. D．To adjust us to the information age. 49．What is the switch cost mentioned by Daniel Le Roux? A．We tend to forget our original intention. B．We get distracted from our main mission. C．We lose some important information. D．We have to follow the fashion in technology. 50．Which is the best title for the text? A．Challenges in the Digital Age B．Dangers of Media Multitasking C．Impacts of Technology on Attention D．Methods of Dealing with Electronic Distractions 【答案】46．A 47．B 48．D 49．B 50．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍多位学者对科技、媒体使用等对人们注意力产生的影响及相关问题的研究观点。 46．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Wolf is concerned that the amount of interaction we have with our screens and devices and the speed at which we necessarily have to function have changed us by removing from us the ability to be present. And we’re so accustomed to going so fast that becoming completely involved in an activity is difficult.(沃尔夫担心，我们与屏幕和设备的互动量以及我们必须快速运转的速度已经改变了我们，剥夺了我们专注当下的能力。而且我们已经习惯了快节奏，很难完全投入到一项活动中)”可知，根据沃尔夫的观点，我们与屏幕互动的结果是难以集中注意力。故选A项。 47．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“He researches how the apps, social media platforms and technology designers attempt to catch a user’s attention. He said, “There are a thousand or more engineers, developers, and designers on the other side of the screen who are purposefully or intentionally designing these services in order to attract your attention, to get you to spend more time on the site and to get you to click on more ads.”(他研究应用程序、社交媒体平台和技术设计师如何试图吸引用户的注意力。他说：“屏幕的另一端有上千名甚至更多的工程师、开发人员和设计师，他们有意或故意设计这些服务，以吸引你的注意力，让你在网站上花费更多时间，并让你点击更多广告。”)”可知，凯・卢科夫的话意在强调社交媒体具有很强的吸引力。故选B项。 48．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“He looks at the effects of what we’re doing when we’re “media multitasking”. “Everybody’s doing it, and it’s, in a large way, a natural adaptation to the technological environment that has been created around us,” he said.(他研究我们“媒体多任务处理”时所做事情的影响。他说“每个人都在这么做，在很大程度上，这是对我们周围已形成的技术环境的一种自然适应。”)”和第五段中的“Media multitasking, like quick reading, is an adaptive response to an environment filled with information.(媒体多任务处理，就像快速阅读一样，是对充满信息的环境的一种适应性反应)”可知，媒体多任务处理出现是为了让我们适应信息时代。故选D项。 49．细节理解题。根据第五段中的“We bring what we might call the switch cost; that means our performance in the key task is going to suffer. If you think of driving as the key task, the reason we prohibit drivers from using their smartphones while driving is that it distracts them from the task of driving.(我们会付出我们所谓的切换成本；这意味着我们在关键任务中的表现将会受到影响。如果你把开车当作关键任务，我们禁止司机开车时使用智能手机的原因是，这会分散他们对驾驶任务的注意力)”可知，丹尼尔・勒鲁提到的切换成本是指我们会从主要任务中分心。故选B项。 50．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章围绕沃尔夫、凯・卢科夫、丹尼尔・勒鲁等学者的研究展开，主要探讨了科技、媒体使用、多任务处理等对人们注意力的影响，包括难以集中注意力、被吸引分心等。C 项“科技对注意力的影响”贴合主旨，适合作本文最佳标题。故选C项。 D Technology is supposed to simplify our lives. Smartphones provide a palm-sized window on the world, enabling us to do almost anything with a mere tap. Smart homes manage themselves, and virtual meetings mean that commuting (通勤) is a thing of the past for many. So, we should have more time to sleep, relax, or simply enjoy a moment of doing nothing, right? If this idea strikes you as a bit of a paradox, you are not alone. Growing evidence suggests that while digital technology indeed helps us save some time, we often end up using that time to do more things. We recently conducted interviews across Europe to understand how people use digital devices in their daily lives. Whether it was waiting for a bus, waking up in the morning, or lying in bed at night, our respondents reported that time that would have previously been “empty” was now filled with tech-driven tasks. The growth in digital tasks is partly due to how technology is changing our perception of free time. For many, it is no longer enough to simply eat a meal, watch TV, or take an exercise class. Instead, in an attempt to avoid “wasting” time, they often do these activities while browsing the Web in search of the ingredients for a perfect life and a sense of achievement. These changes are also thought to be intensifying work. Home and hybrid working, enabled by video conferencing technology, have blurred the boundaries between work time and personal time. With the office now just a room away, it is tempting to think, “I’ll just finish this up after putting the kids to bed.” Digital technologies are speeding up the pace of life. However, poorly designed technology can also force us to do more work because of the inefficiencies it creates. We have all encountered the frustration of entering data into system A only to find that it does not integrate with system B, forcing us to re-enter the same information in both. By adding more tasks to our plates, we may end up achieving less and feeling worse. Reclaiming the time “saved” by technology requires a shift in how we use our time. To break free of the habit of filling time with more and more tasks, we need to first accept that sometimes it is okay to do less or nothing at all. In the work environment, employers and employees alike need to create an environment in which disconnection is acceptable. This means setting realistic expectations about what can be achieved in a typical workday. Moreover, technology itself may hold the key to reclaiming our time. Imagine if, instead of telling you to stand up and move around for another task, your smartwatch reminded you to stop working because you had reached your contracted work hours. Perhaps when technology starts to tell us to do less, we will finally be able to regain control of our time. 51．The “paradox” mentioned in Paragraph 2 refers to the fact that ______. A．smart homes require more management than traditional ones B．technology is meant to free up time but often leads to more tasks C．people feel frustrated when technology fails to integrate systems D．virtual meetings eliminate commuting but add new forms of work 52．What is the author’s attitude to the idea that “digital technology helps us save time”? A．Supportive. B．Opposed. C．Skeptical. D．Unconcerned. 53．What role does Paragraph 3 play in the passage? A．It contrasts the different ways people use smartphones in various situations. B．It illustrates how digital devices fill previously “leisure” time with new tasks. C．It explains the technical reasons behind the integration failure of digital systems. D．It provides statistical evidence to support the claim about tech-driven assignments. 54．What does the author imply by mentioning the smartwatch example? A．Technology should prioritize reminding users to rest over suggesting tasks. B．Employers should equip employees with advanced time-management devices. C．Physical movement reminders are unnecessary additions to digital routines. D．Smartwatches are currently ineffective in helping users manage time. 55．What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage? A．To criticize the inefficiency of current digital technologies. B．To compare the traditional way of life with the digitalized one. C．To advocate a shift in perceiving and using free time in digital age. D．To reveal the unexpected outcome of employing digital technology. 【答案】51．B 52．C 53．B 54．A 55．C 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了数字技术虽节省时间却常致更多任务，需转变观念。 51．词句猜测题。根据第二段“Growing evidence suggests that while digital technology indeed helps us save some time, we often end up using that time to do more things.(越来越多的证据表明，虽然数字技术确实帮助我们节省了一些时间，但我们最终往往用这些时间做更多的事情)”可知，第二段中提到的“悖论”指的是技术本意是节省时间，但往往导致更多任务这一事实。故选B。 52．推理判断题。根据第二段“Growing evidence suggests that while digital technology indeed helps us save some time, we often end up using that time to do more things.(越来越多的证据表明，虽然数字技术确实帮助我们节省了一些时间，但我们最终往往用这些时间做更多的事情)”及全文内容可知，作者指出科技看似节省时间，实则让人们更忙碌、生活节奏更快，对“数字技术帮我们节省时间”这一观点持怀疑态度。故选C。 53．主旨大意题。根据第三段“We recently conducted interviews across Europe to understand how people use digital devices in their daily lives. Whether it was waiting for a bus, waking up in the morning, or lying in bed at night, our respondents reported that time that would have previously been “empty” was now filled with tech-driven tasks.(我们最近在欧洲各地进行了采访，以了解人们在日常生活中如何使用数字设备。无论是等公交车、早上醒来，还是晚上躺在床上，我们的受访者都报告说，以前“空闲”的时间现在都被技术驱动的任务填满了)”可知，第三段举例说明数字设备如何用新任务填满原本的空闲时间。故选B。 54．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Imagine if, instead of telling you to stand up and move around for another task, your smartwatch reminded you to stop working because you had reached your contracted work hours. Perhaps when technology starts to tell us to do less, we will finally be able to regain control of our time.(想象一下，如果你的智能手表不是让你站起来为另一项任务四处走动，而是提醒你因为已经达到了合同规定的工作时间而停止工作。也许当技术开始告诉我们少做些事情时，我们最终将能够重新掌控自己的时间)”可知，作者通过提到智能手表的例子，暗示技术应该优先考虑提醒用户休息，而不是建议任务。故选A。 55．推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“By adding more tasks to our plates, we may end up achieving less and feeling worse. Reclaiming the time “saved” by technology requires a shift in how we use our time. To break free of the habit of filling time with more and more tasks, we need to first accept that sometimes it is okay to do less or nothing at all.(通过增加更多的任务，我们最终可能会取得更少的成就，感觉更糟。夺回被技术“节省”的时间需要改变我们利用时间的方式。为了摆脱用越来越多的任务填满时间的习惯，我们首先需要接受有时候少做或什么都不做也是可以的)”以及全文内容可知，作者主要论述数字时代下人们对空闲时间的使用方式发生了变化，写这篇文章的目的是倡导在数字时代改变对空闲时间的看法和利用方式。故选C。 第二部分:写作(共两节，满分35分) 第一节：阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容完成下列各题。 When sports journalist Shireen Ahmed thinks about covering the 2024 Olympics, one moment stands out: a video she shot on her phone of her and her workmates at CBC taken just as the Canadian men’s team won the 4×100m relay. That wasn’t the only viral moment from last year’s Games. In fact, Ahmed says she and her workmates used social media to cover the Olympics like never before. Some of the Games’ most viral moments took off owing to media companies or individual journalists’ posts, including photos of Yusuf Dikec, the Turkish shooter who went viral for his shooting stance (姿势), Likewise American gymnast Simone Biles and Jordan Chiles bowing to Brazilian Rebecca Andrade after she took gold in the women’s floor final, and Australia’s Rachael Gunn, whose awkward breakdancing drew the internet’s attention. These moments had a huge impact on how fans consumed the events. However, one-off viral moments aren’t the only way social media has changed sports reporting, Ahmed says. The dissemination of information and the ways that happened have changed greatly, which enable people to have access to athletes and watch their own commentary about personal and social issues. And media companies are increasingly relying on podcasting, a medium that has become hugely popular among audiences. According to a 2024 report from SiriusXM, there has been a 39 per cent rise in demand for sports podcasts since 2019. In 2022 alone, there was a 32 per cent increase in the number of sports podcasts being produced. At the same time, there was a 119 per cent growth in downloads, indicating podcast consumption grew more and faster. To Ahmed, videos might be an even bigger game-changer, especially on TikTok. That social media app has become extremely popular with sports journalists, who often use the platform to share a quick hit of analysis or opinion, or to deliver a short but informative explainer video, which breaks down a particular aspect of sport in 60 seconds or so. These are an important part of the overall editorial strategy for many sports departments, she says, because these concise, interesting and sometimes unexpected videos are both fascinating to audiences and effective at keeping them watching. 56．How did social media influence the way people experienced the 2024 Olympics? (no more than 10 words) 57．What does the underlined word “dissemination” in paragraph 2 mean? (1 word) 58．What is Ahmed’s opinion of sports videos on TikTok? (no more than 5 words) 59．What is the text mainly about? (no more than 10 words) 60．How does social media change your life? Please explain. (no more than 20 words) 【答案】56．It created many viral moments. 57．Spread. 58．They are game-changers. 59．Social media changes sports reporting. 60．It makes my daily communication and information-getting easier. 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了体育记者希琳指出，社交媒体改变了奥运报道方式，催生诸多热门时刻，还推动了体育播客发展，抖音短视频更是成为报道的重要策略。 56．考查细节理解。根据第二段“In fact, Ahmed says she and her workmates used social media to cover the Olympics like never before. Some of the Games’ most viral moments took off owing to media companies or individual journalists’ posts, including photos of Yusuf Dikec, the Turkish shooter who went viral for his shooting stance (姿势), Likewise American gymnast Simone Biles and Jordan Chiles bowing to Brazilian Rebecca Andrade after she took gold in the women’s floor final, and Australia’s Rachael Gunn, whose awkward breakdancing drew the internet’s attention. These moments had a huge impact on how fans consumed the events.(事实上，艾哈迈德表示，她和同事们以一种前所未有的方式，借助社交媒体报道了这届奥运会。本届赛事的不少爆火瞬间，都是凭借媒体机构或记者个人发布的内容走红的，其中包括因射击姿势出圈的土耳其射击选手优素福・迪克奇的相关照片，美国体操名将西蒙娜・拜尔斯与乔丹・蔡尔斯在巴西选手丽贝卡・安德拉德夺得女子自由操金牌后向其致意的画面，以及因舞姿略显笨拙而引发全网关注的澳大利亚霹雳舞选手瑞秋・冈恩的相关动态。这些瞬间极大地改变了观众们观看赛事的方式)”可知，社交媒体让2024年奥运会引发了众多的热门话题。故答案为It created many viral moments. 57．考查词句猜测。根据划线词后文“of information and the ways that happened have changed greatly(信息的……以及传播过程本身都发生了巨大变化)”以及“which enable people to have access to athletes and watch their own commentary about personal and social issues(这使得人们能够接触到运动员，并观看他们对个人和社会问题的阐述)”可知，社交媒体使得人们能够接触到运动员，并观看他们对个人和社会问题的阐述，说明信息的传播方式产生了变化。故划线词意思是“传播”。故答案为Spread. 58．考查细节理解。根据最后一段“To Ahmed, videos might be an even bigger game-changer, especially on TikTok.(对于艾哈迈德来说，视频可能会带来更大的变革影响，尤其是在TikTok上)”可知，艾哈迈德认为TikTok上的体育视频具有变革性的影响。故答案为They are game-changers. 59．考查主旨大意。根据第二段“In fact, Ahmed says she and her workmates used social media to cover the Olympics like never before.(事实上，艾哈迈德表示，她和同事们以一种前所未有的方式，借助社交媒体报道了这届奥运会)”结合文章主要说明了体育记者希琳指出，社交媒体改变了奥运报道方式，催生诸多热门时刻，还推动了体育播客发展，抖音短视频更是成为报道的重要策略。可知，这篇文章主要讲的是社交媒体改变了体育报道的方式。故答案为Social media changes sports reporting. 60．考查开放题。根据“社交媒体是如何改变你的生活的呢？请详细说明一下”可回答：它让我的日常交流和获取信息变得更加便捷。故答案为It makes my daily communication and information-getting easier. 第二节：书面表达（满分25分） 61．假设你是晨光中学的高三学生李津。某英文报刊正在就“Should Some Public Places Be Phone-free?”这一话题向高中生征稿。请你根据以下要点，用英语写一篇短文投稿。 1. 你认为哪些公共场所 (两处) 适合限制或禁止使用手机，并分别说明理由； 2. 结合你自己的经历，简要说明你在公共场所如何自觉规范手机的使用。 注意： 1. 词数不少于100； 2. 可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯，内容充实。 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Should Some Public Places Be Phone-free? I’m Li Jin, a Senior 3 student from Chenguang Middle School. I firmly support that some public places should be phone-free. Firstly, libraries are ideal for phone restrictions. Keeping phones silent or off helps people focus on reading and avoids disturbing others. Secondly, hospitals need strict phone bans, as phone calls may affect patients’ rest and even interfere with medical equipment. Personally, I always follow phone rules in public. Once in a library, I put my phone on silent mode and only checked it after finishing my study. When taking buses, I never speak loudly on the phone. In short, proper phone restrictions in public benefit everyone. Let’s use phones wisely. 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生“Should Some Public Places Be Phone-free?”这一话题用英语写一篇短文投稿。 【详解】1.词汇积累 集中：focus on→concentrate on 打扰：disturb→bother 总之：in short→in conclusion 支持：support→be in favor of 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：Keeping phones silent or off helps people focus on reading and avoids disturbing others. 拓展句：If we keep phones silent or off, we can focus better on reading and won't disturb others. 【点睛】【高分句型1】I firmly support that some public places should be phone-free.(运用了that引导宾语从句) 【高分句型2】Keeping phones silent or off helps people focus on reading and avoids disturbing others.(运用了动名词keeping作主语) 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司22 / 23 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
