今天分享的是2023全国1卷阅读理解C篇的第28题的讲解。
28. What is the book aimed at?这本书的目的是什么？
A. Teaching critical thinking skills.教学的批判性思维技能
B. Advocating a simple digital lifestyle.提倡一种简约的数字生活方式
C. Solving philosophical problems.解决哲学的问题
D. Promoting the use of a digital device.促进数码设备的使用
这个题根据the book 和 aim at 这两个词我们可以定位到首段。the goal就是 aim 的同义表达。
The goal of this book is to make the case for digital minimalism, including a detailed exploration of what it asks and why it works, and then to teach you how to adopt this philosophy if you decide it’s right for you.
首段只有一句话。根据前面的经验，首段的这句话很可能高度提炼了全文的重点信息。主句的主宾语很可能就是全文的中心词，所以主句的主宾语一定得弄清楚是什么，甚至是两者的关系。
主句The goal of this book is to make the case for digital minimalism的主语很多同学是理解的the goal of this book，即这本书的目的。但是make the case for不懂！！digital minimalism也不懂。
但是根据digital 一词，所以很多人就会把答案定位在BD两个选项上。
这道题我有两个思路：
第一，构词法。minimal,极小的，极简的，后缀-ism，表示主义，制度，学说，所以minimalism意为极简主义。digital minimalism数码极简主义，根据这个意思，大家会更倾向选B。因为simple是简单的意思。
第二，主题关键词重复的原则。根据所有考题都是为了帮助我们理解大意和首段提出中心话题，后文围绕话题展开的原则，我们可以大胆推测这个digital minimalism是本文的主题关键词。
只要是关键词就一定还在后文会重复或换个表达出现（其实选项就是同义表达嘛）。那就找这个词再次出现的地方，看能不能找到它的一些表达让我们了解到底digital minimalism是指什么？其实说到底就是猜词义的能力，还有抓取主旨大意，关键对象的能力。
看到第二段，一眼就扫到了两处digital minimalism。
To do so, I divided the book into two parts. In part one, I describe the philosophical foundations of digital minimalism, starting with an examination of the forces that are making so many people’s digital lives increasingly intolerable, before moving on to a detailed discussion of the digital minimalism philosophy.
第二句主干：In part one, I describe the philosophical foundations of digital minimalism在书的第一部分，我描述了the philosophical foundations of digital minimalism，starting with解释说明描述digital minimalism的顺序，starting with...,before 进入详细讨论digital minimalism philosophy，还多了一个philosophy。
反正，这本书第一部分肯定根digital minimalism相关。所以，它必是关键词。
接着看第三段。一眼只扫到了digital declutter。
Part one concludes by introducing my suggested method for adopting this philosophy: the digital declutter. This process requires you to step away from optional online activities for thirty days. At the end of the thirty days, you will then add back a small number of carefully chosen online activities that you believe will provide massive benefits to the things you value.
第三段第一句就出现了digital declutter 。而它前面有个冒号，说明这个词在解释说明this philosophy。那么this philosophy在指代什么呢？还记得第二段出现了digital minimalism philosophy吗？
所以digital declutter就是在解释digital minimalism philosophy的意思。那么digital declutter 又是什么呢？后面的句子this process指代的又是什么呢？ 当然是前面的某件事的过程了，即 introducing my suggested method for adopting this philosophy: the digital declutter.。还是和digital declutter有关。
his philosophy: the digital declutter到底是什么？又要猜！！！一般这种出题（29题）的地方的附近说明就有答案了！！请看后两句。
This process requires you to step away from optional online activities for thirty days. 这个过程要求你远离可选择的网络活动30天。At the end of the thirty days, you will then add back a small number of carefully chosen online activities 。30天结束时，你要重新加回少量你认真挑选的网络活动。
这两句话看完你能大概了解这个process中你做的这个事情时要干什么。就是删掉过多的网络活动，剩下自己需要的，不就是断舍离吗？？！！
是不是更确定第28题的答案了。digital minimalism就是要simple lifestyle。
如果你还纠结，你就看到最后第一段的第一句：The second part of this book takes a closer look at some ideas that will help you cultivate (培养) a sustainable digital minimalism lifestyle.这个词说明digital minimalism也可以是一种lifestyle。
所以我说，做题时我喜欢先抓取大意的原因了！！！有些题目需要整篇文章大意或整段大意为支撑，而紧靠大意的选项才更接近正确答案。你看28题，29题是不是抓完大意就基本可以攻克了！！
总结强调一下啊！！！
1.构词法很好用！！！
2.抓取文章关键对象和大意很重要！！！

原文：
The goal of this book is to make the case for digital minimalism, including a detailed exploration of what it asks and why it works, and then to teach you how to adopt this philosophy if you decide it’s right for you.
To do so, I divided the book into two parts. In part one, I describe the philosophical foundations of digital minimalism, starting with an examination of the forces that are making so many people’s digital lives increasingly intolerable, before moving on to a detailed discussion of the digital minimalism philosophy.
Part one concludes by introducing my suggested method for adopting this philosophy: the digital declutter. This process requires you to step away from optional online activities for thirty days. At the end of the thirty days, you will then add back a small number of carefully chosen online activities that you believe will provide massive benefits to the things you value.
In the final chapter of part one, I’ll guide you through carrying out your own digital declutter. In doing so, I’ll draw on an experiment I ran in 2018 in which over 1,600 people agreed to perform a digital declutter. You’ll hear these participants’ stories and learn what strategies worked well for them, and what traps they encountered that you should avoid.
The second part of this book takes a closer look at some ideas that will help you cultivate (培养) a sustainable digital minimalism lifestyle. In these chapters, I examine issues such as the importance of solitude (独处) and the necessity of cultivating high-quality leisure to replace the time most now spend on mindless device use. Each chapter concludes with a collection of practices, which are designed to help you act on the big ideas of the chapter. You can view these practices as a toolbox meant to aid your efforts to build a minimalist lifestyle that words for your particular circumstances.
