46. What do we learn from the passage about practicing mindfulness?
- A. It triggers our mind to reflect on past experiences or anticipate future events.
- B. It focuses our attention on the present moment without making judgments.
- C. It concentrates our mind on our personal feelings, happy or scary.
- D. It helps our mind to stay calm when facing judgments from others.
答案:B
答案句:This practice of mindfulness can help calm the mind and the body as we learn not to react to experience with likes and dislikes or judgments of good and bad. … The practice is based on an insight first described in ancient Buddhist texts that human beings have the capacity to observe experience without being caught up in it.
参考译文:这种正念练习可以帮助平静心灵和身体,因为我们学会不对经验做出喜欢或不喜欢、好或坏的反应。… 这种练习基于古代佛教文本中首次描述的一种洞见,即人类有能力观察经验而不被其纠缠。
定位线索:题干“practicing mindfulness”→答案句“This practice of mindfulness”;文中“not to react to experience with likes and dislikes or judgments of good and bad”对应选项B“without making judgments”;文中“observe experience without being caught up in it”对应选项B“focuses our attention on the present moment”。
解析:题干问从文章中学到关于正念练习的什么。答案句明确指出正念练习让我们学会不对经验做出好恶或好坏判断,且能观察经验而不被纠缠,这与选项B“将注意力集中在当下而不做判断”直接对应。选项A“触发我们反思过去或预期未来”与原文“without being caught up in it”相反,是偷换概念;选项C“专注于个人感受”与原文“not to react to experience”不符;选项D“面对他人评判时保持冷静”原文未提及,属于无中生有。
48. What happens with the prevalent use of mobile phones or social media?
- A. They keep distracting users from the here and now.
- B. They render users incapable of resisting temptation.
- C. They rob users of their ability to observe experience.
- D. They tempt users to endorse the attention economy.
答案:A
答案句:The devices most people use are a perpetual diversion from the present moment.
参考译文:大多数人使用的设备是对当下时刻的永久性分散。
定位线索:题干“prevalent use of mobile phones or social media”→答案句“The devices most people use”;文中“a perpetual diversion from the present moment”对应选项A“keep distracting users from the here and now”。
解析:题干问手机或社交媒体普遍使用带来的结果。答案句明确指出这些设备是对当下时刻的永久性分散,即不断让用户分心,这与选项A“让用户不断从当下分心”直接对应。选项B“让用户无法抵抗诱惑”原文未提及;选项C“剥夺用户观察经验的能力”偷换概念,原文说的是分散注意力而非剥夺能力;选项D“诱使用户支持注意力经济”原文未提及,属于无中生有。
