Moderator
Today marks the last day of the Social Media Detox,Brenton High’s fundraising campaign for new sports equipment.At the start of the detox,over 100 students had been persuaded to1 stop using social media,in ANY form,for seven days.This meant no messaging friends,no posting photos,no blogging—nothing.[1]They had been promised money by family and friends for each day spent without using social media2.They were excited.They were nervous.But could they do it?
With the detox now finished,they’ve switched on3 their devices and they’re back online.I bet you’re as eager as I am to4 find out just how many have been motivated enough to5 last the full seven days! And what,if anything6,has been learnt from the experience?
[1]此句话为简单句,使用了过去完成时态。spent...media是过去分词短语作后置定语,修饰each day。
词块翻译:
1.被说服做某事
2.社交媒体
3.(用开关)开,打开
4.渴望做某事
5.被激励做某事
6.如果真有什么的话
Anna 17
I lasted two days.The detox was more difficult to tolerate than I had expected.I felt like7 I had lost an arm! Not eating for two days would have been easier! But on reflection8, I can see how much of my time had been occupied with9 checking my phone.I’m now trying to spend less time online and more time picking up my hobbies10.

8.经再三考虑
9.忙于做……

Devon 16
I lasted four days.On Monday,my classmate and I spoke about what we did at the weekend—it felt really strange not to already know what he had done.We would usually have posted pictures11 and updated our profiles12.[2]Doing the detox meant we had to talk and explain what we were doing and thinking![3]It made me realise the value of real contact that I had forgotten.
[2]此句话为主从复合句。主句的主语是Doing the detox;we had to...thinking是省略that的宾语从句,从句中包含一个what引导的宾语从句。
[3]此句话为主从复合句。that引导定语从句,修饰real contact。
11.上传照片
12.更新自己的动态
Cindy 18
I managed the whole week! At first,I really felt I was missing out13.Then,instead of messaging my friend,I went round14 to her house.Without our phones,we had a proper conversation for over two hours,without being distracted by15 messages from other people.It felt so good! Then I decided to visit a different friend every day.[4]By the fifth day,I wondered—was I really missing out by not constantly checking my phone to see what everyone else was up to?
[4]此句话为主从复合句。was I...was up to是宾语从句,作wonder的宾语;to see what everyone else was up to是不定式短语作目的状语;what引导宾语从句,作动词see的宾语。
13.错过;遗漏,漏掉
14.拜访;(消息、谣言等)流传,传播
15.被……分心
George 16
I did all seven days,too![5]To be honest16, I didn’t find the detox too difficult,but I did give my phone to my dad to avoid giving in17![6]My brother thought I should make full use of18 the time without my phone,so he took me to check out19 our local sports centre.An hour’s sport each day left me tired out20 and wanting to go to bed early.The detox made me healthier!
[5]此句话为but连接的并列句。but后的分句中did give是“助动词+动词原形”结构,用于强调谓语动词。
[6]此句话为so连接的并列复合句。前一分句中I should...my phone是省略that的宾语从句。
16.说实话,老实说
17.认输;屈从;让步
18.充分利用
19.查看;调查
20.筋疲力尽
Max 17
I’m embarrassed to say that I threw in the towel21 on the first day! [7]I knew there was a party happening that evening,but without access to22 social media I couldn’t remember where it was! In the end,I turned on my phone to check,but couldn’t resist having a quick look at23 my social media accounts.What’s worse24,I then spent so much time catching up on25 news,I almost missed the party!
[7]此句话为but连接的并列复合句。第一个分句中there was a party...that evening是省略that的宾语从句;第二个分句中where引导宾语从句。

24.更糟糕的是

A
(2025·重庆高二上期中)
I was in my mid-20s when I fell into one of the most unfortunate relationships of my life.I remember buying my first self-help book,which promised I could be healed of anything.I couldn’t put it down in days.Over the next 15 years,I bought hundreds of self-help books,courses and apps,and tracked down every self-styled personal improvement expert in the hope that they could teach me how to become happier,more confident and more lovable.
Growing up in an environment of misfortune and family conflict made me desperate for self-improvement.I believed self-help authors could be the instructors I had never found.My dependency became strong after my father died in 2022.I managed to spend an enormous amount of time reading about how to grieve(哀痛) well instead of doing the right things:sitting with my feelings,allowing myself to cry and processing the loss.
My dependency on self-help had become poisonous,and something had to give.It started to dawn on me that instead of helping me,the advice was making me feel worse.It took a deep conversation with a loved one to recognise that in trying to change my life,I was trying to change things that were out of my control.Instead of focusing on who I wanted to become,I had to quit self-help to learn and accept who I really was.Spending time alone,often walking,and listening to my thoughts without trying to silence or change them helped.
Since I quit my self-help walking stick,I’ve realized that focusing all my energy on improving myself can really take the joy out of life.It makes happiness conditional:only when I look that way can I be loved.It can also stop me from unconditionally accepting my imperfectly perfect self.After a long time,I am finally coming round to the idea that perhaps I never needed fixing at all.

(2024·浙江丽水高二上期末)
Most of us have some sort of bucket list—a checklist of experiences and accomplishments we hope to achieve before our time here on earth is up.When we think of how to improve our lives,our first urge is generally to add things:I’d be happier if my career were going better.Everything would be different if I could find a good relationship.There is only one problem with this approach—science suggests it tends to have the opposite result.
A mountain of research shows that when you reach your goals,they’re likely to only bring you momentary joy.After a brief high,dissatisfaction creeps in and we start to long for the next thing on the list.How do you get off this problem and find lasting peace of mind? Brooks offers a simple and practical suggestion:Swap your traditional bucket list for something he calls a “reverse bucket list”.
“Each year on my birthday,I list my wants and attachments—the stuff that fits under the categories of money,power,pleasure and honor.I try to be completely honest,” he writes.Next,Brooks sits down and lists what his life would be like in five years if he were truly happy and successful—if he were living up to his values and experiencing a sense of psychological peace.The final step is to compare the two lists side by side.Would those things he longs for actually bring him closer to his vision of the good life?
If an item is on your bucket list because it lines up with your deepest desires and values,keep it.If it’s there to impress the neighbors or feed a vague and strong need for “success”,onto the reverse bucket list it goes.
When scientists ask people to solve problems of all kinds,their first urge is to add elements.They think a new feature,additional rule or extra ingredient will improve the final outcome.But recent research shows that subtraction(减法) is often the better one.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了传统的人生愿望清单可能只会让人获得短暂的幸福感,随之而来的是不满,并介绍了一个替代方法——反向人生愿望清单,通过对比个人的真实愿望、价值观和理想生活,以寻求持久的心灵平静和幸福。
5.What is a problem probably caused when you achieve your goals?
A.You will be eaten up with pride.
B.Your confidence will be boosted overly.
C.You will be unwilling to achieve the next goal.
D.Your temporary happiness will give way to discontent.
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“A mountain of research shows that when you reach your goals,they’re likely to only bring you momentary joy.After a brief high,dissatisfaction creeps in and we start to long for the next thing on the list.”可知,实现目标后,暂时的幸福感会被不满所取代,我们开始渴望实现清单上的下一件事。故选D项。
6.What’s the difference between the traditional and the reverse bucket list?
A.Whether the items on the list are listed honestly.
B.Whether the items on the list can bring you glory.
C.Whether the items on the list can be achieved.
D.Whether the items on the list are consistent with your beliefs.
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“If an item is on your bucket list because it lines up with your deepest desires and values,keep it.If it’s there to impress the neighbors or feed a vague and strong need for ‘success’,onto the reverse bucket list it goes.”可知,如果某个项目符合你的愿望和价值观,就保留它。如果它是为了给邻居留下深刻印象,或者满足对“成功”的模糊而强烈的需求,那么它就会进入反向愿望清单。所以,愿望清单和反向愿望清单的不同之处在于清单上的项目是否与你的信念一致。故选D项。
7.According to Brooks,which of the following will be classified into the reverse bucket list?
A.Buying a more luxurious villa than a friend’s.
B.Keeping on working out regularly to keep fit.
C.Serving the community to keep mentally peaceful.
D.Studying abroad for further education to realize self-value.
答案 A
解析 推理判断题。根据文章第四段中“If it’s there to impress the neighbors or feed a vague and strong need for ‘success’,onto the reverse bucket list it goes.”并结合选项可推知,买比朋友的别墅更豪华的别墅将被列入反向愿望清单,故选A项。
8.What is a suitable title for the text?
A.The Barrier of Happiness:A Rule of Subtraction
B.The Secret to Happiness:A Reverse Bucket List
C.The Block to Happiness:A Traditional Bucket List
D.The Truth of Happiness:A Checklist of Achievements
答案 B
解析 标题归纳题。通读全文,并结合第二段中“Brooks offers a simple and practical suggestion:Swap your traditional bucket list for something he calls a ‘reverse bucket list’.”和最后一段中“But recent research shows that subtraction(减法) is often the better one.”可知,文章主要介绍了传统愿望清单带来的问题和反向愿望清单作为实现持久幸福的秘诀。故选B项。

1.bucket list人生愿望清单
2.a mountain of大量的
3.momentary adj.短暂的;片刻的→moment n.片刻,瞬间

[句式分析]
Next,Brooks sits down and lists what his life would be like in five years if he were truly happy and successful—if he were living up to his values and experiencing a sense of psychological peace.
分析:这是一个主从复合句。what引导宾语从句,该从句中包含两个if引导的条件状语从句,此处均使用了虚拟语气。
翻译:Brooks坐下来并列出如果他真的快乐和成功,即实现自己的价值观并体验到内心平静,他的生活在五年后将会是什么样子。
