What’s the main topic of the passage? [br]
We’re hearing it more by the day: that the perpetual influx of new technologies in our lives and information that we consume on a daily basis, also known as "the data deluge", is making it increasingly difficult for us to "switch off from the devices in our hands.
This notion is being recited so often in the media these days that it’s become somewhat of a cliche. Despite the advantages of technology such as convenience and efficiency of communication, it seems we are now so aware of the negative impact it can have on our lives—take for instance social media and its ability to distract and consume us—that we are increasingly being told how we need to escape it and give ourselves time away so we can disconnect.
But what does it mean to disconnect in our digitally-dependent world? A way in which people are exploring this idea is through something called a "digital detox". If you haven’t heard this term before, it’s a period of time during which a person refrains from using electronic devices such as smartphones or computers, and is regarded as an opportunity to reduce stress or focus on social interaction in the physical world.
The motivations behind digital detoxing vary. In some cases, the motivation is negative emotional responses to the technology usage, such as dissatisfaction or disappointment of the technology device and its functions. In other cases, users see the technology as a distracting factor that consumes time and energy and wants to take back control over their everyday lives. Some people have moral, ethical or political reasons to refrain from technology usage. Furthermore, a concern of developing addictive behavior in terms of tech addiction or Internet addiction disorder is one of the motivations for disconnecting for a period of time.
选项
A、An electronic device user finds the device and its functions disappointing.
B、One has to spend more time and energy on technology-related matters.
C、One is worried about getting addicted to digital devices.
D、One is afraid that overuse of high-tech will do harm to one’s physical health.
答案
D
解析
特定信息的找寻与判断。文章最后一段列举的是数字戒毒的动机,与选项相对照可知,选项D所述过度使用电子设备对生理健康产生的危害不在其列,故应选择选项D。准确把握相关内容的内涵。原文中包括“emotional response” “moral” “ethical or political reasons” “addiction”都是心理层面的内容,没有涉及生理健康。
