题目解答
答案
解析
本题主要考查词汇在语境中的运用,解题时需要结合上下文的语义、固定搭配以及句子结构来确定每个空应填的词汇。
- 第一空:
- 根据“more...than...”结构,这里需要一个与“simple task”相对的词。
- “challenge”意为“挑战”,符合语境,即一开始这看起来更像一个挑战而非简单的任务。
- 第二空:
- 由“surfing the web”可知,人们上网通常是为了获取“信息”。
- “information”表示“信息”,是不可数名词,符合要求。
- 第三空:
- 结合前文提到上网的习惯以及后文“made me dependent”,可知这里说的是互联网的“吸引力”让“我”产生了依赖。
- “allure”意为“吸引力”,符合文意。
- 第四空:
- “stick to one's resolve”是固定搭配,意为“坚持某人的决心”。
- 这里表示“我”坚持自己的决心,所以填“resolve”。
- 第五空:
- 前文说“reading books instead of scrolling”,这里“talking to friends face - to - face”和“chatting online”也是一种对比,即面对面和朋友交谈而不是在网上聊天。
- “instead of”表示“而不是”,符合语境。
- 第六空:
- 前文描述了第一周的艰难,这里说事情变得容易了,应该是一个逐渐的过程。
- “Gradually”意为“逐渐地”,符合逻辑。
- 第七空:
- “become aware of”是固定短语,意为“意识到”。
- 这里表示“我”更加意识到以前浪费了多少时间,所以填“aware”。
- 第八空:
- “focus on”是固定搭配,意为“专注于”。
- 没有了电子干扰,“我”可以专注于学习,故填“focus”。
- 第九空:
- 结合前文描述的在这30天里“我”做的事情以及“far more than I expected”,可知这里说的是“我”收获了比预期多得多的东西。
- “gain”意为“收获”,“By the end”表明句子时态为过去完成时,所以用“gained”。
