题目解答

答案

我们来一步一步分析这个题目。题目问的是：根据第3段（Para. 3），我们被大多数人随身携带的小型设备影响到了什么程度？首先，我们来看原文第3段的内容： > At home, families sit together, texting, and reading emails. At work, executives text during board meetings. We also text when we're on dates. Walking through a college library or the campus of a high-tech company, one sees an identical scenario: People are together, but each of them is in their own bubble, furiously connected to keyboards and tiny touch screens. The little devices most of us carry around are so powerful that they change not only what we do but also who we are. 我们逐句理解这段话的意思： 1. “At home, families sit together, texting, and reading emails.” 在家里，一家人虽然坐在一起，但各自在发短信、看邮件。 ——说明即使在家庭团聚的场合，人们也沉迷于电子设备，缺乏真正的交流。 2. “At work, executives text during board meetings.” 在工作中，高管们在董事会会议上也在发短信。 ——说明在非常正式、重要的工作场合，人们也无法摆脱对设备的依赖。 3. “We also text when we're on dates.” 我们甚至在约会时也在发短信。 ——说明在本应建立亲密关系的私人时刻，设备仍然占据注意力。 4. “Walking through a college library or the campus of a high-tech company, one sees an identical scenario: People are together, but each of them is in their own bubble, furiously connected to keyboards and tiny touch screens.” 走进大学图书馆或高科技公司的园区，会看到同样的情景：人们虽然在一起，但每个人都沉浸在自己的小世界里，疯狂地连接着键盘和小屏幕。 ——进一步强调，无论在哪里，人虽然在群体中，但精神上是孤立的，被设备隔开。 5. “The little devices most of us carry around are so powerful that they change not only what we do but also who we are.” 我们大多数人随身携带的小设备如此强大，它们不仅改变了我们的行为，也改变了我们自己是谁。 ——这是本段的总结句，也是最关键的一句。现在我们来回答问题：“我们被这些小设备影响到了什么程度？” 从最后一句话可以看出，作者认为这些设备的影响**极其深远**。它们不仅仅是改变了我们的行为方式（比如发短信、看邮件），更深层次地，它们正在改变我们的**身份、性格、人际关系，甚至人性本身**。也就是说，这些设备不仅影响“我们做什么”，还影响“我们是谁”。因此，答案是：我们被这些随身携带的小型设备影响得非常深，**它们不仅改变了我们的日常行为，还深刻地改变了我们的自我认知和人际关系，甚至改变了我们作为人的本质**。 **答案**： \boxed{\text{我们被这些小设备影响到了改变我们行为和身份的程度，它们不仅改变了我们做什么，也改变了我们是谁。}}

解析

考查要点：本题考查学生对段落主旨的把握能力，需要结合具体语境理解作者的核心观点。
解题思路：关键在于抓住段落最后一句的总结性表述，理解“改变行为”和“改变身份”两层含义，并结合段落中的具体场景（家庭、工作、约会等）说明影响的广泛性。
破题关键：明确“not only what we do but also who we are”这一对比结构，理解“who we are”指代的深层含义（如人际关系、自我认知）。

步骤1：理解段落核心内容

段落通过多个场景（家庭、工作、约会、公共场所）描述人们过度依赖电子设备的现象，强调设备对行为和身份的双重影响。

步骤2：分析关键句

最后一句“The little devices... change not only what we do but also who we are”是核心，明确指出影响的两个层面：

改变行为：如发短信、看邮件等日常活动。
改变身份：设备改变了人的交流方式、人际关系，甚至影响人的性格和本质。

步骤3：总结影响程度
