Question

2．Recently，university students around the world were asked to volunteer in a global experiment called Unplugged．It was designed to see how young people would react if they were asked to observe a total media ban by unplugging all forms of media devices for 24 hours．
Unplugged is being run by Dr．Roman Gerodimos，a lecturer in Communication and Journalism at Bournemouth University．During the experiment，Dr．Gerodimos said there were already signs of how much the exercise affected volunteers．He said："They're reporting withdrawal symptoms，overeating，feeling nervous，isolated and disconnected．"
During their 24-hour test，three of the experiment's participants were followed around by a BBC reporter plus cameraman．They were asked to write down 100 lines about their day offline，but of course，they all waited until the next day when they had access to their laptops．
Elliot Day wrote："Today，my whole morning routine was thrown up into the air．Despite being aware of the social importance of the media，I was surprised by how empty my life felt without the radio or newspapers．"
From Caroline Scott，we read："I didn't expect it，but being deprived of the media for 24 hours resulted in my day-to-day activities becoming so much harder to carry out than usual…I didn't break out in a cold sweat like our lecturer expected us all to，but It's not something I would like to do again！"
And Charlotte Gay wrote："I have to say the most difficult item for me to be without has been  my mobile；not only is it a social device，it's my main access point of communication．"
Earlier in the year，a UK government study found that in the UK we spend about half our waking hours using the media，often plugged into several things at once．So，with technology continuing to develop at an alarming rate，how much time will you set aside for sleep in the future？

分析 本文讲述的是年轻人对于电子媒体设备的过分依赖，为了研究这一现象的具体影响，而进行的一项被称为Unplugged的实验．

解答 71-75 BDCAC
71．B 细节理解题．根据第一段2，3行It was designed to see how young people would react if they wereasked to observe a total media ban by unplugging all forms of media devices for24 hours．可知是让那些年轻人24小时不使用媒体设备．故选B．
72．D 细节理解题．根据第二段"They're reporting withdrawal symptoms，overeating，feeling nervous，isolated and disconnected．"可知他们会出现戒断症状，暴饮暴食，感到紧张、孤立和隔离．A、B、C三项的内容都是文章提及的症状，只有D项是文章没有提及的症状．故选D．
73．C 推理判断题．根据倒数第二段From Caroline Scott，we read："I didn't expect it，but being deprived of the media for 24 hours resulted in myday-to-day activities becoming so much harder to carry out than usual…I didn'tbreak out in a cold sweat like our lecturer expected us all to，but It's not something I would liketo do again！"可知他的工作是要依靠媒体设备的，如果没有了媒体设备，他的工作很难进行．故选C．
74．A 推理判断题．根据So，with technology continuing todevelop at an alarming rate，how much time will you set aside for sleep in the future？可知我们要拿出一点时间出来做别的事情，不要受媒体的影响．要合理使用媒体技术．故选A．
75．C 推理判断题．本文讲述的是年轻人对于电子媒体设备的过分依赖，为了研究这一现象的具体影响，而进行的一项被称为Unplugged的实验．文章中对此进行了报道和说明，所以本文属于新闻类．故选C．
