Last month, I began my own two-week-long digital detox. I got the inspiration from the tech writer Paul Miller, who got away from the Internet for a whole year. It was not worth mentioning as against the time Miller spent offline, but it was the longest I had gone through without almost any Internet in 13 years.
Why did I do it For a while I felt the urge to try fully disconnecting to free myself from the endless work. I wanted to take a break from it all for a couple of weeks at least to see what would happen. After all, throughout the last decade, I’ve been online 24 – 7, overreacting to my email inbox and social feed (传送) – living in a world where the line between the digital world and the real world gets a bit unclear at times.
I haven’t of course forgotten that I’m CEO of a social media company. My work is built around the premise (前提) that being connected makes our lives richer, more rewarding and more efficient. Still, I’d forgotten one key lesson along the way: moderation. As more and more of my life was spent scanning social feed and checking out my inbox, I realized that I needed to step back and get a whole new perspective.
So on my winter vacation to Mexico, I took a break from being active on the Internet for the entire trip. For the whole 14 days, I ate a lot of delicious fish tacos, surfed and fixed up my cottage on the beach. I didn’t write or send any emails. I didn’t scan any Top 10 lists of feed. The one I did give myself was checking my email inbox occasionally—just to make sure an emergency wasn’t unfolding while I was away.
What I learned from my short experiment was actually not too unlike what Miller learned. I didn’t end up discovering that technology is evil. In fact, I found myself reflecting on how technology over the last few years had let me experience some of the most rewarding and eventful moments of my life.
4. Why did the author begin digital detox for two weeks
A. Because Miller recommended him to do so.
B. Because he was tired of his empty life.
C. Because he wanted to live a digital life.
D. Because he intended to experience an Internet-free life.
5. Which can replace the underlined word in the third paragraph
A. to a large degree B. in an honest way
C. in an appropriate way D. to a very small degree
6. Why did the author still check out his email
A. To deal with emergencies. B. For the sake of his health.
C. To find some delicious food to eat. D. To watch Top 10 lists closely.
7. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. The author holds an objective attitude towards technology.
B. The author finds technology is harmful.
C. The author will advise digital detox completely.
D. The author will no longer use the Internet.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了一位媒体公司总裁通过讲述脱瘾治疗的经历，以客观的态度阐述了网络对他生活的影响。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段中的“For a while I felt the urge to try fully disconnecting to free myself from the endless work. I wanted to take a break from it all for a couple of weeks at least to see what would happen”（有一段时间，我感到有一种强烈的冲动，想试着完全脱离无休止的工作，把自己从无休止的工作中解放出来。我想休息几周，至少看看会发生什么）以及“After all, throughout the last decade, I’ve been online 24 – 7”（竟，在过去的十年里，我一直是全天候在线的）可知，作者这样做的目的是想体验一下没有网络的生活。故选D项。
【5题详解】
词义猜测题。由第三段中的“As more and more of my life was spent scanning social feed and checking out my inbox, I realized that I needed to step back and get a whole new perspective”（随着我越来越多的时间花在浏览社交网站和查看收件箱上，我意识到我需要退一步，换个全新的视角）可知，作者认为，上网适度非常重要，由此可知划线词词义为“适度”，故选C项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。 由第四段中的“The one I did give myself was checking my email inbox occasionally—just to make sure an emergency wasn’t unfolding while I was away”可知，作者查看邮件是为了确保当作者出去的时候，会知道紧急事情，故选A项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。上文讲述了作者把大量的时间都花在浏览社交网站和查看收件箱上，这对自己产生了不良影响，所以决心改变；但根据最后一段中的“I found myself reflecting on how technology over the last few years had let me experience some of the most rewarding and eventful moments of my life”（发现自己在反思过去几年的科技是如何让我体验到人生中一些最有意义和最重要的时刻的）可知，作者对科技也持有赞美的一面，所以作者对待科技的态度是客观的。故选A项。
C
Sometimes, determining which projects you should devote your time and energy to first takes energy you don’t have to spare (which is why we have tips for how to do it). But even when you know what tasks need to be done, you still need to figure out how to prioritize them. Try the 3-3-3 method.
This technique comes from Oliver Burkeman, author of Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals($13.99). He advocates planning each workday around a 3-3-3 model, first devoting three hours to deep work on your most important project. Next, complete three other urgent tasks that don’t require three hours of focus. Finally, do three “maintenance” tasks, like cleaning, answering emails, or scheduling other work.
What distinguishes this method from other approaches are those first three hours of deep work. Jumping into them first means you’ll be fresh, focused, and more likely to be able to jump into a task without getting distracted. Keep those three hours free of emails, texts, chats, or other menial duties, to the best of your ability. (Check out our full guide to engaging in deep work here.)
Deep work produces major productivity, so you’ll get a lot accomplished if you commit to it, but you can’t stay in that mindset (思维模式) forever. You’ll top out after about three hours, so it’s best to have those three other, smaller tasks lined up and ready to go so you can stay productive even while slowing down into less demanding responsibilities.
8. What does the 3-3-3 method focus on
A. Urgent tasks. B. Planning and scheduling.
C. Spare time. D. The first three hours.
9. What does the underlined word “menial” probably mean
A. Unskilled. B. Significant. C. Urgent. D. Necessary.
10. Why should we arrange smaller tasks after deep work
A. Smaller tasks take less time. B. We can’t do two things at once.
C. Deep work takes energy. D. Our attention is limited.
11. What’s the best title of the passage
A. What is the 3-3-3 method B. Why the 3-3-3- method works
C. Get More Done With the “3-3-3Method” D. How to Organize Your Life and Career
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种名为“3-3-3”的方法，用于帮助读者更好地规划和分配工作时间，以提高工作效率和生产力。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“He advocates planning each workday around a 3-3-3 model, first devoting three hours to deep work on your most important project. (他提倡按照3-3-3模式规划每个工作日，首先花三个小时深入研究最重要的项目。)”和第三段“What distinguishes this method from other approaches are those first three hours of deep work. (这种方法与其他方法的区别在于前三个小时的深度工作。)”可知，3-3-3方法的重点是最初的三个小时的深度工作。故选D。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词上文的“emails, texts, chats(邮件、短信、聊天)”可知，尽你所能，让这三个小时远离邮件、短信、聊天或其他琐事。划线词menial指的是“不重要的，不需要技能的，不熟悉的”。选项A“Unskilled (没有技能的)”；选项B“Significant (重要的)”；选项C“Urgent(紧急的)”；选项D“Necessary (必要的)”。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“You’ll top out after about three hours, so it’s best to have those three other, smaller tasks lined up and ready to go so you can stay productive even while slowing down into less demanding responsibilities.(你会在大约三个小时后达到极限，所以最好把其他三个较小的任务排好，准备好去做，这样你就可以在放慢速度去做要求不高的工作时保持高效。)”可知，在深度工作后安排一些较小的任务，是因为经过三小时的深度工作后我们会达到极限，即深度工作会消耗精力。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Sometimes, determining which projects you should devote your time and energy to first takes energy you don’t have to spare (which is why we have tips for how to do it). But even when you know what tasks need to be done, you still need to figure out how to prioritize them. Try the 3-3-3 method.(有时候，决定你应该首先投入时间和精力的项目需要你不需要多余的精力(这就是为什么我们有如何做到这一点的技巧)。但是，即使你知道需要完成哪些任务，你仍然需要弄清楚如何优先处理它们。试试3-3-3方法。)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了一种名为“3-3-3方法”的时间管理和任务优先级策略，该方法能帮助读者更有效地完成工作和提高生产力。文章详细介绍了该方法的步骤和优势，使读者能够理解并应用这一策略，从而达到更高效地完成任务的目的。因此，C选项“Get More Done With the “3-3-3Method (用‘3-3-3方法’完成更多工作)”最能反映文章的核心内容。故选C。
D
Japan said Tuesday that it would start pouring treated radioactive water (放射性废水) from the Fukushima nuclear power plant into the Pacific Ocean within two years. Officials in Tokyo said the water would be filtered and diluted (稀释) to safe levels first, but most locals remain firmly opposed to the plan. Protesters gathered outside Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga’s residence in downtown Tokyo to criticize the government’s decision.
More than a million tons of radioactive water is currently being stored at the Fukushima power plant in a massive tank farm big enough to fill 500 Olympic-sized swimming pools. The wastewater comes from water pumped in to cool the plant’s damaged reactors (反应堆). The government says it has simply run out of room to store all the water. The plan to dump the water into the ocean first came to light in the autumn of last year, when Japanese news reported anonymous (匿名的) officials said the decision had been taken.
On Tuesday, Suga said that after years of study, his scientific advisors had concluded that ocean discharge was the most possible way to cope with the wastewater. But the decision to pour Fukushima wastewater into the ocean has drawn fire from neighboring Asian countries and local fishermen along Japan’s coast.
China called the decision “extremely irresponsible,” and South Korea summoned (召唤) the Japanese ambassador in Seoul over the matter. “They told us that they wouldn’t release the water into the sea without the support of fishermen,” Kanji Tachiya, who leads a local cooperative of fisheries in Fukushima, told national broadcaster NHK ahead of the announcement on Tuesday. “We can’t support this move to break that promise and release the water into the sea unilaterally (单方面地).”
The actual release of water from the Fukushima plant will take decades to complete. Critics have called on Japan’s government to at least ensure that independent monitoring is in place to check the level of radiation in the poured water is safe for the environment.
12. How do most of the local people react to the plan
A. Indifferent. B. Uncertain. C. Supportive. D. Disapproving.
13. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A. The wastewater is being stored in 500 Olympic-sized swimming pools.
B. It was last year that the plan was exposed to the public.
C. Ocean discharge is the only way to deal with the wastewater.
D. The plan has aroused anger in all the Asian countries.
14. What does Kanji Tachiya probably agree with
A. The plan is to pull the whole world into the disaster.
B. It’s imperative that the plan should be carried out immediately.
C. It’s safe and easy to pour the wastewater into the ocean.
D. It’s unacceptable to pour the water into the ocean without fishermen’s permission.
15. What can we infer from the passage
A. The Japanese government has checked the level of radiation in the poured water.
B. Neigboring Asian countries agreed the decision to pour Fukushima wastewater into the ocean..
C. It will actually take the Fukushima plant long to release treated radioactive water.
D. Independent monitoring of the water from the Fukushima plant aren’t necessary.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了日本计划在未来两年内将福岛核电站处理过的放射性废水排入太平洋的消息，并描述了相关的背景、进展和各方反应。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Officials in Tokyo said the water would be filtered and diluted(稀释) to safe levels first, but most locals remain firmly opposed to the plan.(东京官员表示，将首先对水进行过滤和稀释，使其达到安全水平，但大多数当地人仍然坚决反对该计划。)”可知，大多数当地人反对日本在未来两年内将福岛核电站处理过的放射性废水排入太平洋的计划。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The plan to dump the water into the ocean first came to light in the autumn of last year, when Japanese news reported anonymous(匿名的) officials said the decision had been taken.(将污水排入海洋的计划在去年秋天首次曝光，当时日本新闻报道一位匿名的官员表示，这一决定已经做出。)”可知，将污水排入海洋的计划在去年秋天已经曝光。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段““They told us that they wouldn’t release the water into the sea without the support of fishermen,” Kanji Tachiya, who leads a local cooperative of fisheries in Fukushima, told national broadcaster NHK ahead of the announcement on Tuesday. “We can’t support this move to break that promise and release the water into the sea unilaterally(单方面地).”(“他们告诉我们，如果没有渔民的支持，他们不会把水放入海中，”福岛当地渔业合作社的负责人Kanji Tachiya在周二宣布这一消息之前告诉日本国家广播公司NHK。“我们不能支持这种违背承诺，单方面将水排放入海的举动。”)”可知，Kanji Tachiya认为未经渔民允许，把核废水排进海洋是不可接受的。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The actual release of water from the Fukushima plant will take decades to complete. Critics have called on Japan’s government to at least ensure that independent monitoring is in place to check the level of radiation in the poured water is safe for the environment.(福岛核电站的实际放水工作需要几十年才能完成。批评人士呼吁日本政府至少要确保独立监测机构到位，以检查倾倒水中的辐射水平是否对环境安全。)”可知，实际上福岛核电站需要很长时间才能释放处理过的放射性水。故选C。

【答案】 A Book Review of Robinson Crusoe
Robinson Crusoe is one of the most popular adventure novels by the English author Daniel Defoe, published in 1719. It is the story of Robinson Crusoe, an Englishman who is shipwrecked in a lonely tropical island. He builds himself a hut, grows his own food, and becomes self-sufficient. After 23 years he meets with a group of cannibals and rescues one of their prisoners, a young native whom he calls Friday. They become close friends, and when they are finally rescued four years later, both return to England.
Robinson Crusoe was partly based on the actual deeds of Alexander Selkirk, an 18th century Scottish sailor who spent almost five years alone on a deserted island. This novel is famous for its lovely details and its expression of belief in man’s ability when left alone in nature.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文，续写的词数应为150左右。
It was somewhere between spring and summer my mom and I were driving through the countryside Back then I was 13 years old and always felt unhappy with Mom. But little did I know that this trip was going to be a special one．
A pot of flowers sat in the back seat, whose heavenly scent filled the car．Suddenly, in the middle of nowhere, my mom pulled over．“What are you doing ” I cried, fearing that the car had broken down and we’d be stuck there, so far from home. But that wasn’t the case. My mom hopped out of the car, grabbing the flowers from the back seat．“It’ll just be a minute，”she called back through the open windows．
My eyes impatiently skimmed the edge of the road before settling on a little sign showing that it was a nursing home. I looked back to the building, somewhat annoyed, as my mom reappeared—empty-handed．
Before she started the car, curiosity drove me to ask，“Do you know someone there ” She shook her head．“Then what did you do with the flowers ” She smiled slightly，“I gave them to the receptionist(前台接待员).”“What ” She laughed at my confusion．“I told the receptionist to give the flowers to whoever needed them, especially who hasn’t gotten any in a while．”
I kept silent for a moment. Not long after we continued our driving, I spoke again，“Did you leave your name ” To this she answered instantly，“No. Leaving flowers there for someone who will appreciate them makes me feel good, which is enough of a thank for me.”
Suddenly, still thinking about Mom’s deeds, I heard something burst loudly. It was our car that broke down! Nothing could be worse, because neither my mom nor I understood how to repair it, and we didn’t know where the garage was. It also seemed impossible to wait for any passer-by, since we had seen so few along the way．
注意：
1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。

We were worrying about what could be done.

Paragraph 2
As we drove along, a flower shop came into sight on the road.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】We were worrying about what could be done. But after waiting in vain for a considerable time, Mom and I decided to walk back the road to the nursing home and seek help. God knows how far we had driven! When we arrived, the receptionist was surprised, but warmly helped us contact the garage. There, the old men who had received the flowers were excited to meet us, talking about how great that day was. It amazed me what random actions of kindness could mean to the people who received it. While we were laughing and talking merrily, the garage got our car repaired.
As we drove along, a flower shop came into sight on the road. I paced quickly into the flower shop, where a bunch of flowers glowing red in full bloom caught my eye. Having witnessed the effect of kindness, I decided to send Mom the sweet flowers. Soon, the heavenly scent filled the car again. Mom tried to conceal her excitement, but the glittering tears failed her. Through this trip, I discovered that, despite my occasional anger towards her, I actually felt proud of her. This was the trip of my life.

Last month, I began my own two-week-long digital detox. I got the inspiration from the tech writer Paul Miller, who got away from the Internet for a whole year. It was not worth mentioning as against the time Miller spent offline, but it was the longest I had gone through without almost any Internet in 13 years.
Why did I do it For a while I felt the urge to try fully disconnecting to free myself from the endless work. I wanted to take a break from it all for a couple of weeks at least to see what would happen. After all, throughout the last decade, I’ve been online 24 – 7, overreacting to my email inbox and social feed (传送) – living in a world where the line between the digital world and the real world gets a bit unclear at times.
I haven’t of course forgotten that I’m CEO of a social media company. My work is built around the premise (前提) that being connected makes our lives richer, more rewarding and more efficient. Still, I’d forgotten one key lesson along the way: moderation. As more and more of my life was spent scanning social feed and checking out my inbox, I realized that I needed to step back and get a whole new perspective.
So on my winter vacation to Mexico, I took a break from being active on the Internet for the entire trip. For the whole 14 days, I ate a lot of delicious fish tacos, surfed and fixed up my cottage on the beach. I didn’t write or send any emails. I didn’t scan any Top 10 lists of feed. The one I did give myself was checking my email inbox occasionally—just to make sure an emergency wasn’t unfolding while I was away.
What I learned from my short experiment was actually not too unlike what Miller learned. I didn’t end up discovering that technology is evil. In fact, I found myself reflecting on how technology over the last few years had let me experience some of the most rewarding and eventful moments of my life.
4. Why did the author begin digital detox for two weeks
A. Because Miller recommended him to do so.
B. Because he was tired of his empty life.
C. Because he wanted to live a digital life.
D. Because he intended to experience an Internet-free life.
5. Which can replace the underlined word in the third paragraph
A. to a large degree B. in an honest way
C. in an appropriate way D. to a very small degree
6. Why did the author still check out his email
A. To deal with emergencies. B. For the sake of his health.
C. To find some delicious food to eat. D. To watch Top 10 lists closely.
7. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. The author holds an objective attitude towards technology.
B. The author finds technology is harmful.
C. The author will advise digital detox completely.
D. The author will no longer use the Internet.
C
Sometimes, determining which projects you should devote your time and energy to first takes energy you don’t have to spare (which is why we have tips for how to do it). But even when you know what tasks need to be done, you still need to figure out how to prioritize them. Try the 3-3-3 method.
This technique comes from Oliver Burkeman, author of Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals($13.99). He advocates planning each workday around a 3-3-3 model, first devoting three hours to deep work on your most important project. Next, complete three other urgent tasks that don’t require three hours of focus. Finally, do three “maintenance” tasks, like cleaning, answering emails, or scheduling other work.
What distinguishes this method from other approaches are those first three hours of deep work. Jumping into them first means you’ll be fresh, focused, and more likely to be able to jump into a task without getting distracted. Keep those three hours free of emails, texts, chats, or other menial duties, to the best of your ability. (Check out our full guide to engaging in deep work here.)
Deep work produces major productivity, so you’ll get a lot accomplished if you commit to it, but you can’t stay in that mindset (思维模式) forever. You’ll top out after about three hours, so it’s best to have those three other, smaller tasks lined up and ready to go so you can stay productive even while slowing down into less demanding responsibilities.
8. What does the 3-3-3 method focus on

Japan said Tuesday that it would start pouring treated radioactive water (放射性废水) from the Fukushima nuclear power plant into the Pacific Ocean within two years. Officials in Tokyo said the water would be filtered and diluted (稀释) to safe levels first, but most locals remain firmly opposed to the plan. Protesters gathered outside Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga’s residence in downtown Tokyo to criticize the government’s decision.
More than a million tons of radioactive water is currently being stored at the Fukushima power plant in a massive tank farm big enough to fill 500 Olympic-sized swimming pools. The wastewater comes from water pumped in to cool the plant’s damaged reactors (反应堆). The government says it has simply run out of room to store all the water. The plan to dump the water into the ocean first came to light in the autumn of last year, when Japanese news reported anonymous (匿名的) officials said the decision had been taken.
On Tuesday, Suga said that after years of study, his scientific advisors had concluded that ocean discharge was the most possible way to cope with the wastewater. But the decision to pour Fukushima wastewater into the ocean has drawn fire from neighboring Asian countries and local fishermen along Japan’s coast.
China called the decision “extremely irresponsible,” and South Korea summoned (召唤) the Japanese ambassador in Seoul over the matter. “They told us that they wouldn’t release the water into the sea without the support of fishermen,” Kanji Tachiya, who leads a local cooperative of fisheries in Fukushima, told national broadcaster NHK ahead of the announcement on Tuesday. “We can’t support this move to break that promise and release the water into the sea unilaterally (单方面地).”
The actual release of water from the Fukushima plant will take decades to complete. Critics have called on Japan’s government to at least ensure that independent monitoring is in place to check the level of radiation in the poured water is safe for the environment.
12. How do most of the local people react to the plan
A. Indifferent. B. Uncertain. C. Supportive. D. Disapproving.
13. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A The wastewater is being stored in 500 Olympic-sized swimming pools.
B. It was last year that the plan was exposed to the public.
C. Ocean discharge is the only way to deal with the wastewater.
D. The plan has aroused anger in all the Asian countries.
14. What does Kanji Tachiya probably agree with
A. The plan is to pull the whole world into the disaster.
B. It’s imperative that the plan should be carried out immediately.
C. It’s safe and easy to pour the wastewater into the ocean.
D. It’s unacceptable to pour the water into the ocean without fishermen’s permission.
15. What can we infer from the passage
A. The Japanese government has checked the level of radiation in the poured water.
B. Neigboring Asian countries agreed the decision to pour Fukushima wastewater into the ocean..
C. It will actually take the Fukushima plant long to release treated radioactive water.
D. Independent monitoring of the water from the Fukushima plant aren’t necessary.

It was somewhere between spring and summer my mom and I were driving through the countryside Back then I was 13 years old and always felt unhappy with Mom. But little did I know that this trip was going to be a special one．
A pot of flowers sat in the back seat, whose heavenly scent filled the car．Suddenly, in the middle of nowhere, my mom pulled over．“What are you doing ” I cried, fearing that the car had broken down and we’d be stuck there, so far from home. But that wasn’t the case. My mom hopped out of the car, grabbing the flowers from the back seat．“It’ll just be a minute，”she called back through the open windows．
My eyes impatiently skimmed the edge of the road before settling on a little sign showing that it was a nursing home. I looked back to the building, somewhat annoyed, as my mom reappeared—empty-handed．
Before she started the car, curiosity drove me to ask，“Do you know someone there ” She shook her head．“Then what did you do with the flowers ” She smiled slightly，“I gave them to the receptionist(前台接待员).”“What ” She laughed at my confusion．“I told the receptionist to give the flowers to whoever needed them, especially who hasn’t gotten any in a while．”
I kept silent for a moment. Not long after we continued our driving, I spoke again，“Did you leave your name ” To this she answered instantly，“No. Leaving flowers there for someone who will appreciate them makes me feel good, which is enough of a thank for me.”
Suddenly, still thinking about Mom’s deeds, I heard something burst loudly. It was our car that broke down! Nothing could be worse, because neither my mom nor I understood how to repair it, and we didn’t know where the garage was. It also seemed impossible to wait for any passer-by, since we had seen so few along the way．
