分析活动感悟,提炼语篇主题
本篇课文的语篇类型是论坛专题讨论,介绍了一场“社交媒体脱瘾”活动。在论坛中,版主发起帖子,有五位参加脱瘾活动的学生跟帖,谈论了他们的亲身经历和感受。阅读时应重点关注各帖子中涉及的活动感悟部分,由此总结出活动的意义,提炼语篇的主题。
(一)赏用词之妙
1.They were excited. They were nervous.
赏析:句中的excited, nervous形象地描述了学生对社交媒体脱瘾的期待及忐忑不安的心理。
2.①I lasted two days.
②I managed the whole week!
赏析:此处在描述参加社交媒体脱瘾活动的时长时分别使用了last及manage两个动词。last在此有“(在困境等中)坚持下去”之意,“lasted two days”强调参与者只勉力坚持了两天;manage则有“完成(困难的事)”之意,“managed the whole week”准确传达了参与者成功完成活动目标的自豪感。
3.Awareness of just how much we rely on social media can help us step away from it and communicate with each other better.
赏析:此处step away from意为“远离,离开”,画面感极强地传达了远离社交媒体的必要性。

赏析:此处用了did来强调谓语动词give,说明George脱瘾的决心。

我感觉自己好像失去了一切,但实际上,这是必要的一步。

(四)赏衔接之顺
In the end, I turned on my phone to check, but couldn't resist having a quick look at my social media accounts. What's worse, I then spent so much time catching up on news, I almost missed the party!
赏析:此处先用顺序衔接词In the end引出Max参加脱瘾活动的最终结果,然后用递进衔接词What's worse表明活动并没有取得预期的效果,表达流畅自然、逻辑连贯。

数字化时代为人们提供了更多的社交渠道和方式,让人们可以轻松地与世界各地的朋友、家人和同事保持联系,分享自己的生活和见闻。然而,我们在享受数字化时代带来的各种便利的同时,也要尊重和珍惜现实生活中的交流和互动,正确、适度使用手机和互联网,把时间用在更有意义的事情上,多去感受现实世界中丰富多彩的生活。
I was a smartphone addict. My eyes were glued to the little screen whenever I walked down the street, had dinner with friends or lay in bed at night. was reach for my smartphone. I always asked for Wi Fi connections when I went to a new restaurant or coffee shop.A dead battery in my smartphone would make me feel stressed. uncomfortable feeling that this little machine had taken up too much of my time, and that I could have done something more meaningful than just looking at a tiny screen all day. Sliding into the habit was easy, but it was difficult to quit the habit.
Then the day came when I finally realized I had to make a change. Head down, eyes on my smartphone, I stepped into the road and a car shot past, nearly knocking me off my feet!At that very moment, I made up my mind to spend a whole week without my smartphone.
The first day was the hardest. I was used to checking the news and my friends' social media updates every few minutes, but now I did not know what to do with myself. I kept reaching for my pocket, for my smartphone that was not there. I felt lost and anxious, as if I had missed something of value. Very soon, time slowed down. The empty hours stretched out in front of me, and I felt disconnected from everyone and everything.
It was scary at first. Then somehow I began to feel free. The things that I had time for!I finally picked up the classic novel I had always wanted to read and was soon lost in the beautiful language. I kept a journal of my feelings, thoughts and daily activities to see how much progress I was making. I went out for a run and felt more alive than I had in days. The details of the scene were revealed in front of me: the soft sunlight, a bird singing from a high tree branch, the rich and earthy smell of the soil after the rain. Best of all, I began to appreciate the beauty in life with my own eyes, instead of through my smartphone camera.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Remember Vitaminwater's “free of rolling screens for a year” challenge that people to be free from smartphones for a whole year will win $100,000 Well, Elana Mugdan, a New York woman, has been into it for eight months, and just four months away from claiming the grand prize.
Vitaminwater made news headlines last December when it announced its unique challenge.Thousands of people applied to be chosen as the perfect candidate to spend a year without touching their smartphones, but in the end, the only person who got to try and survived for an entire year without a handheld smartphone was Elana Mugdan, a 29-year-old fiction writer from Queens, New York.
Eight months into the challenge, she claims it has been a free and eye-opening experience that shows her just how dependent she becomes on her smartphone.Even though there are times when she misses her handheld smartphone, she plans to go on living without it even after the challenge ends, because she really doesn't want to go back to days when she overused it, wasted time, stayed up all hours of the night on it, and was obsessed with social media.
But not having access to her smartphone really made certain situations a lot harder than she could have imagined them before.“Many people did me a favor.However, once, I almost get stranded (被滞留的) in the SeaTac Airport because the phone number I'd written down was wrong, and I had no way of referring to the right one, no way of calling a cab, and no one in the state who could help me,” the young writer said.
Another time, her car's “check engine” light turned on while she was driving in an unfamiliar area at night.She couldn't use her phone's GPS, or even check what the light meant online or find a nearby car repair shop.But she learned to overcome these situations.And now she claims the last eight months of phone-free life have been one of the best adventures of her life and that she'll keep it for another four months.
语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Elana Mugdan在参加Vitaminwater发起的一年不用手机的挑战过程中的感受及遇到的困难。
1.What's the challenge “free of rolling screens for a year”?
A.People free from smartphones can live a richer life.
B.People living a phone-free life can be awarded money every year.
C.People living without computers for a year will win a grand prize.
D.People spending a year free from smartphones will get an award.

解析:细节理解题。根据第一段第一句中的“challenge that people to be free from smartphones for a whole year will win $100,000”可知,这个挑战要求参加者一年内不使用智能手机,参加者完成挑战后可以获得奖金。
2.Which phrase can replace the underlined part “obsessed with” in paragraph 2
A.Satisfied with.     B.Accustomed to.
C.Addicted to. D.Popular with.
解析:词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句中的“she really doesn't want ...all hours of the night on it”可知,Elana Mugdan曾经过度使用手机,不仅浪费时间,还容易熬夜。画线部分与上文内容相衔接,表示她当时对社交媒体非常痴迷,即上瘾。

3.What does Elana Mugdan mainly want to express in paragraph 3
A.It's fantastic to have someone to help her all the way.
B.It's unimaginable to forget her phone number.
C.It's unnecessary to refer to information with a smartphone.
D.It's difficult to get out of trouble without a smartphone.
解析:推理判断题。根据第三段第一句以及本段所列举的事例可知,Elana Mugdan在第三段想表达的是没有智能手机很难摆脱困境。

4.What can we learn about Elana Mugdan
A.She couldn't live without a smartphone.
B.She finds no one can help her in the adventure.
C.She has not won the $100,000 prize yet.
D.She used to use her smartphone to write fiction.
解析:推理判断题。根据第一段第二句及最后一段最后一句中的“she'll keep it for another four months”可知,Elana Mugdan还要继续进行四个月的挑战,故她还没有获得奖金。

B
For most of my life,I didn't like being seen.I went bright red when it was my turn to speak in a group.I hated the teacher asking me something.I even didn't like my family all looking at me! I often tried to hide away and avoid being seen by others!So, it's not strange that I feared speaking in front of others.
Luckily, I've learned to overcome my problem.Now I love helping others who have the same problem that I once had but want to speak up because they have valuable things to share.I particularly love helping entrepreneurs (企业家) to become more confident.When you help a leader, the impact is so much greater.
Over the years I've discovered that there are three main problems that people have when it comes to speaking in public.The first is a lack of self-belief.They doubt themselves and question whether what they have to say is valuable.The second is a fear of being seen as arrogant (傲慢的).The third is a fear of rejection or a fear of not being liked.
All of these problems are related to mindset, specifically, a fear-based mindset, which is common.These fears stop people from stepping up as the leader and influencer they were born to be.
If you want to become a more effective influencer, it is so important to work on any fears you have of judgment or rejection. They will be a ball and chain that will hold you back from success.We need to take action though we feel fear.We can't wait for the fear to go away as it won't go away itself.We have to act while we still feel it.And to overcome fears, we should practice.Confidence is attached to progress, and we progress only if we practice.If you don't feel you're progressing, you'll start to lose your confidence and stay stuck in fear.
语篇解读:本文是一篇夹叙夹议文,主要讲述了作者从害怕当众发言到克服这种障碍并帮助其他拥有同样问题的人的经历,并给出了自己的分析和见解。
5.What does the author like doing now
A.Giving speeches in front of people.
B.Sharing experiences with young followers.
C.Making friends with famous entrepreneurs.
D.Helping others gain confidence in speaking in public.
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段第二句可知,现在作者喜欢帮助那些拥有同样问题的人获得在公共场合讲话的信心,故选D。

6.What can we learn about the problems preventing people from talking publicly
A.They are very difficult to overcome.

Ⅰ.阅读理解

Remember Vitaminwater's “free of rolling screens for a year” challenge that people to be free from smartphones for a whole year will win D|S100,000 Well, Elana Mugdan, a New York woman, has been into it for eight months, and just four months away from claiming the grand prize.
Vitaminwater made news headlines last December when it announced its unique challenge.Thousands of people applied to be chosen as the perfect candidate to spend a year without touching their smartphones, but in the end, the only person who got to try and survived for an entire year without a handheld smartphone was Elana Mugdan, a 29 year old fiction writer from Queens, New York.Eight months into the challenge, she claims it has been a free and eye opening experience that shows her just how dependent she becomes on her smartphone.Even though there are times when she misses her handheld smartphone, she plans to go on living without it even after the challenge ends, because she really doesn't want to go back to days when she overused it, wasted time, stayed up all hours of the night on it, and was obsessed_with social media.
But not having access to her smartphone really made certain situations a lot harder than she could have imagined them before.“Many people did me a favor.However, once, I almost get stranded (被滞留的) in the SeaTac Airport because the phone number I'd written down was wrong, and I had no way of referring to the right one, no way of calling a cab, and no one in the state who could help me,” the young writer said.
Another time, her car's “check engine” light turned on while she was driving in an unfamiliar area at night.She couldn't use her phone's GPS, or even check what the light meant online or find a nearby car repair shop.But she learned to overcome these situations.And now she claims the last eight months of phone free life have been one of the best adventures of her life and that she'll keep it for another four months.

For most of my life,I didn't like being seen.I went bright red when it was my turn to speak in a group.I hated the teacher asking me something.I even didn't like my family all looking at me! I often tried to hide away and avoid being seen by others!So, it's not strange that I feared speaking in front of others.
Luckily, I've learned to overcome my problem.Now I love helping others who have the same problem that I once had but want to speak up because they have valuable things to share.I particularly love helping entrepreneurs (企业家) to become more confident.When you help a leader, the impact is so much greater.
Over the years I've discovered that there are three main problems that people have when it comes to speaking in public.The first is a lack of self belief.They doubt themselves and question whether what they have to say is valuable.The second is a fear of being seen as arrogant (傲慢的).The third is a fear of rejection or a fear of not being liked.
All of these problems are related to mindset, specifically, a fear based mindset, which is common.These fears stop people from stepping up as the leader and influencer they were born to be.
If you want to become a more effective influencer, it is so important to work on any fears you have of judgment or rejection.They will be a ball and chain that will hold you back from success.We need to take action though we feel fear.We can't wait for the fear to go away as it won't go away itself.We have to act while we still feel it.And to overcome fears, we should practice.Confidence is attached to progress, and we progress only if we practice.If you don't feel you're progressing, you'll start to lose your confidence and stay stuck in fear.

A.Giving speeches in front of people.
B.Sharing experiences with young followers.

D.They are no problem for leaders or influencers.

B.Avoid failure to become more confident.
C.Refuse judgment or rejection from others.
D.Practice hard to make progress in spite of fears.
