15.Shaky hands.Sweaty forehead.Seventeen-year-old Oliver is restless,can't focus,and keeps reaching into his empty pockets as his heart pounds with panic.But why?Is he on the run from bad people?Actually,it's a much more ordinary situation:Oliver accidentally left his phone at home.
Even a five-minute trip to the store without his device is enough to fill him with unease and fear.But he's not alone in this feeling-the stress and separation anxiety of going phone-free is so common,it's been given a name:nomophobia.
Yes,technology helps us stay connected and informed.When technology does everything,however,it's easy to become dependent on it.With your phone in your hand,you can look up a date for a history paper without referring to a book.But despite having these shortcuts,students are still spending the same amount of time on homework today as they were 30years ago.So where's all that time going?The answer may be at your fingertips."I usually keep my phone on the desk or in my pocket while I'm doing homework,"says Oliver."I'll check any information I get,just as a little break."
A"little break"may sound harmless,but more is happening during that break than you think.Experts say each beep (嘩嘩聲)seizes your attention.Triggering (觸發(fā)) your fight-or-fight response,which is like a fire alarm for your brain.It's designed to pull your thoughts away from whatever you're doing so you can focus on the"life-or-death"situation in front of you.This response is vital if you smell smoke or come across a bear in the woods-but not so much when you get a text that says"I'm so bored."After that false alarm,it takes your brain up to 30minutes to regain focus---If it ever gets focus back at all.
We should just put our phones down when we're busy---but it's not that simple.In fact,the constant beeps are purposefully designed to be irresistible(極為誘人的).There's pressure to be available every moment for fear of missing out (FOMO)on the party,the gossip (閑言碎語),or simply the connection.But when FOMO is overpowering your brain,there's no room for creativity or problem-solving.

分析 本文主要講述了手機對人們的影響,現(xiàn)在的人們越來越離不開手機,大多數(shù)人都患有無手機焦慮癥.
解答 46.B 推理判斷題.由第一段最后一句話Actually,it's a much more ordinary situation:Oliver accidentally left his phone at home.可知,Oliver把手機落在了家里,他就失去了與他人的聯(lián)系,結(jié)合選項,故選B.
47.A 猜測詞義題.根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容,But he's not alone in this feeling-the stress and separation anxiety of going phone-free is so common,it's been given a name:nomophobia.但是他沒有帶手機的時候會感覺到孤單、焦慮,而有這種感覺的人非常多,他并不孤單.這種癥狀被稱為:無手機焦慮癥,結(jié)合選項,所以選A.
48.C 推理判斷題.由第三段可知,學(xué)生對手機的依賴,手機的打擾使學(xué)生做作業(yè)時間增長了.故選C
49.A 推理判斷題.由第四段第一句話A"little break"may sound harmless,but more is happening during that break than you think.和該段的例子可知,"a little break"其實危害很大.故選A.
50.C 細節(jié)理解題.由最后一段最后一句話But when FOMO is overpowering your brain,there's no room for creativity or problem-solving.可知如果你一整天都在看你的手機,手機占據(jù)了你大腦的全部,那么你就不再那么積極活躍的思考問題,解決問題了,你的身體和大腦的活躍度就會降低.結(jié)合選項,故選C
