题目解答
答案
本文主要讨论了数字技术(如智能手机和 tablet)对日常行为的影响。文章通过举例说明人们在用餐、睡眠等场景中对手机的依赖,指出这种现象可能引发“FOMO(害怕错过)”情绪。核心在于数字技术如何改变我们的日常生活习惯,而非具体如何限制社交媒体使用或互联网成瘾问题。
A项“数字技术对日常行为的影响”最符合文章主旨。B项未提及限制社交媒体使用的方法,C项未聚焦互联网成瘾,均不符合。
答案:A. The effects of digital technology on daily behavior.
解析
本题考查对文章主旨的理解。解题思路是仔细阅读文章内容,提取关键信息,分析文章围绕的核心话题,然后将各选项与文章主旨进行对比判断。
- 首先,文章开篇通过一系列问题,如“How many times have you checked your phone today?”“Do you place your phone on the table when you're having breakfast, lunch and / or dinner?”等,引导读者关注日常行为中与手机的关联。
- 接着,文章指出“The widespread use and accessibility of smartphones and tablets that have so dramatically changed our daily functioning”,明确提到了智能手机和平板电脑的广泛使用和可获取性极大地改变了我们的日常功能,强调了数字技术对日常行为的影响。
- 然后,文章进一步说明这种现象可能引发“FOMO (fear of missing out)” epidemic,即害怕错过信息的流行病,进一步阐述了数字技术对人们心理和行为的影响。
- 最后,分析各选项:
- A选项“The effects of digital technology on daily behavior”,准确概括了文章中数字技术对日常行为产生影响这一核心内容,与文章主旨相符。
- B选项“Tips on how to limit social media usage”,文章中并没有提及任何关于限制社交媒体使用的建议,所以该选项不符合文章内容。
- C选项“The rise of Internet addiction”,文章重点在于描述数字技术对日常行为的改变,而不是聚焦于互联网成瘾的问题,所以该选项也不符合文章主旨。
