【題目】The Surprisingly Easy Trick That Can Help You Use Your Phone a Little Bit Less

The first thing I do in the mornings is look at my phone. That’s mainly because my phone is my alarm clock, but once my eyes are open and that screen is lit up in my hands, it’s an awfully short trip to checking emails and perusing headlines.【1】My emails that early in the morning are mainly junk, and the headlines won’t change much before I’ve brushed my teeth and poured a cup of coffee, right?

My wife says I’m addicted to my phone.【2】I’m not terribly active on social media, but I do enjoy me some idle scrolling（enjoy playing the mobile phone）. And, wow, do these tech companies know how to keep those thumbs constantly swiping up.

【3】 While I think we’re pretty good about limiting her screen time, it would seem that technology has had its hooks in me from the start. So, I decided to try loosening my phone’s grasp on my attention by switching the screen to black and white.

Changing the display to black and white is very easy. In your iPhone’s settings, choose General, then Accessibility. Next choose Display Accommodations, then Color Filters. Tap the toggle on and a list of filters appears.【4】

But no one wants to go through all this every time they want to turn color back on to check out an Instagram story. Clearly, you don’t always want your screen to be black and white. After all, there will unavoidably be photos to view and videos to share.【5】In the Accessibility menu, tap Accessibility Shortcut and choose Color Filters. Now, pressing the home button three times will switch your display to color, and then back with another three.

A. There’s no reason for me to be doing this.

B. We’ve got a three-year-old child.

C. Choose Grayscale and you’re all set.

D. It can help you use your phone a little bit less

E. I disagree, but I can definitely stand to spend less time looking at it.

F. Here comes a surprisingly easy trick.

G. That is what makes setting a shortcut necessary.

【解析】

這是一篇應(yīng)用文。作者介紹了一個如何讓自己少用手機(jī)的方法。

【1】根據(jù)上文but once my eyes are open and that screen is lit up in my hands, it’s an awfully short trip to checking emails and perusing headlines.可知我一旦睜開雙眼，手中的屏幕亮著，我就會在短時間內(nèi)查看電子郵件和瀏覽頭條新聞。根據(jù)后文My emails that early in the morning are mainly junk, and the headlines won’t change much before I’ve brushed my teeth and poured a cup of coffee, right?可知我早上收到的那些郵件基本上都是垃圾郵件，在我刷牙和倒咖啡之前，標(biāo)題也不會有太大的變化，對吧?承上啟下，A項（我沒有理由這樣做。）切題。A項中的this指前文中的“checking emails and perusing headlines”。

【2】根據(jù)前文My wife says I’m addicted to my phone.可知我的妻子說我對手機(jī)上癮。根據(jù)后文I’m not terribly active on social media, but I do enjoy me some idle scrolling可知我社交媒體用的不是很頻繁，但我的確喜歡隨便翻翻。這說明我不同意妻子所說的我對手機(jī)上癮，E項 （我不這么認(rèn)為，但我絕對可以少花點時間看手機(jī)。）切題。

【3】根據(jù)后文While I think we’re pretty good about limiting her screen time, it would seem that technology has had its hooks in me from the start.可知雖然我覺得我們在限制她玩手機(jī)的時間上做的很好，但好像我從一開始就陷入了困境。這里的her指的是某個人，根據(jù)語境這里的her肯定不是妻子，因為后文有we指的我是妻子，這里指的應(yīng)該是作者的孩子。故B項（我們有個三歲的小孩）放在這里和后文中的her相呼應(yīng)，故選B項。

【4】根據(jù)前文Changing the display to black and white is very easy. …Tap the toggle on and a list of filters appears可知將屏幕切換為黑白色很容易。在蘋果手機(jī)設(shè)置中，選擇通用，然后選擇輔助功能。之后選擇顯示調(diào)節(jié)，然后再選擇色彩濾鏡。點擊開關(guān)，就能看到濾鏡列表。承接上文， C項（選擇灰色，這樣就設(shè)置好了。）切題。故選C項。

【5】根據(jù)前文After all, there will unavoidably be photos to view and videos to share. 可知人總是要看照片或分享視頻的。根據(jù)后文In the Accessibility menu, tap Accessibility …with another three.可知作者在教如何快速地切換彩色和黑白兩種狀態(tài)。承上啟下，G項（所以設(shè)置快捷鍵就很重要了。）切題。故選G項。
