Living in the digital world
1 The technological advances that arrived in a
swift fashion in the mid-1990s have reshaped
the very fabric of society, and modern
technologies have attracted various population
groups in different areas. It is no exaggeration to
say that technology has impacted upon the lives
of everybody, in one way or another. However,
this is often quite subliminal and somewhat
ironic given the bold nature of the imposition of
digital technology on our lives. It's true that the
digital world has changed our lives in almost
every way possible.
1. What is ironic about digital technology as
mentioned in Para. 1?
A It develops very fast but people can keep
up with it easily.
B Some population groups get addicted to
it while others are fed up with it.

we are not always aware of its impact.
题目解答
答案
根据第一段,数字技术的讽刺之处在于:尽管它对社会和个人生活产生了深远影响,但这种影响往往是潜移默化的(subliminal),人们并未完全意识到其作用。选项A未提及“潜移默化”,且“人们能轻松跟上”与文意不符;选项B未提及“部分人群上瘾,部分人厌倦”;选项C准确表达了“数字技术已渗透生活方方面面,但人们并未完全意识到其影响”。
答案:C. It has invaded everything in our lives but we are not always aware of its impact.
