问题 What’s the main topic of the passage?
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、How data deluge can affect people’s life.
B、How to disconnect with the world in the era of data deluge.
C、What is digital detox and why people are doing it.
D、What digital detox can do to people’s life.

答案 C

解析 主旨题。本段首先论述了科技时代下“data deluge”(信息爆炸) 的情况,从而引出“digital detox”(数字戒毒期) 的概念并进一步论述人们进行数字戒毒的动机。文章主要论点不是围绕信息爆炸的影响展开的,选项A错误。数字戒毒只是切断电子信息手段,而不是要与世隔绝。选项B错误。文章讲述了为什么人们要进行数字戒毒,没有重点论述数字戒毒的功效,选项D错误。选项C最接近文章主旨,故本题最佳答案为选项C。把握文章整体结构,准确定位中心论点。本文没有采用典型的总分型论述方式,前两段为背景铺垫,需准确把握其与中心论点的内在逻辑关联。
