to

fight

with,to

share

with,to

grab

the

remote

control

away

from

me

in

the

forced

to

come

would

smile

and

thank

her

but

never

took

it

seriously.She

couldn’t

or

not.”以及倒數(shù)第二段中“Suddenly

I

was

embarrassed,not

for

her

presence,but

for

my

previous

attitude

to

her

praise.”可知,作者感到尷尬是因為之前對于姐姐的贊揚沒有看重,故選A項。ⅠⅡⅢ4.WhatcanbeinferredaboutChristie?A.ShewasproudofBrad.B.Shedidn’tlikewatchingTV.C.SheenjoyedBrad’scallingherKicki.D.Sheseldomwenthomeduringcollege.答案

C

解析

主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段可知,第一段主要講的是我們對數(shù)字工具的深度依賴。ⅠⅡⅢ6.Whatdoestheunderlinedword“spike”inparagraph2probablymean?A.Asharpincrease.B.Asuddenproblem.C.Anabruptdrop.D.Anunexpectedresult.答案

A

解析

詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第一段的“As

remote

work

has

set

in,we’re

relying

entirely

on

digital

tools

to

keep

in

touch

with

each

other

and

get

our

work

done.”可知,由于我們完全依賴數(shù)字工具來保持聯(lián)系并完成工作,由此會導(dǎo)致“數(shù)字強度”急劇增長。故畫線詞與A選項為同義詞,意為“急劇增長”。ⅠⅡⅢ7.Whatcanweinferaboutthefunctionofalphawavesmentionedinparagraph3?A.Itmakesussleepbetter.B.Ithelpsimproveconcentration.C.Itcausestensionandanxiety.D.Ithelpsfindnewcommunicationways.答案

more

engaged

and

focused,’he

adds.”可知,阿爾法波可以讓人更加投入和專注。ⅠⅡⅢ8.Whichcanhelpreducedigitalload?A.Followingadailyonlinecheck-insystem.B.Holdingfewereverydayvideomeetings.C.Contactingworkmatesthroughsocialmediaapps.D.Usingemailstocommunicateasmuchaspossible.答案

解析

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段中“Finding

new

ways

to

connect

with

our

colleagues,and

reducing

the

number

of

daily

online

meetings,emails

and

virtual

check-ins

do

more

than

‘reduce
