Question

【题目】 A family in Guelph, Ontario is spending a year living “in 1982”. They’re doing it so their kids can see what life was like before technology like iPads, computers and even coffee machines was part of everyday life.

They have stopped using all technology from their home and are relying on the things people would have used back in the 80s. There is a box at the front door where people can put their cell phones in, while they’re visiting the family.

Blair McMillan and his wife Morgan want their kids—Trey, 5, and Denton, 2—to have a year without technology.

Instead of reading e-readers, they are reading books. Instead of using a GPS, they used paper maps. The home the family is living in was built in the 1980s. Even the way they dress and style their hair is from the 80s.

The whole idea started when young Trey was called to come outside. He didn’t because he was busy playing on the ipad. That’s why his dad thought of the idea of living “in 1982” for a year. The family plans to live like “it’s 1982” until April next year. To them, one of the hardest things was giving up their cell phone.

A. The way they dress and style their hair must be from the 80s.

试题分析：本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了一家原本离不开高科技的人，现在却抛弃了高科技，变成了生活在1982年时的一家人，呼吁人们放下手机，回归真正的生活。

【1】C细节理解题。由文中 There is a box at the front door where people can put their cell phones in, while they’re visiting the family.可知门前有一个盒子，去拜访他家的人们都要把手机放在里面，所以C正确。

【2】A推理判断题。由文中 Instead of reading e-readers, they are reading books. Instead of using a GPS, they used paper maps. The home the family is living in was built in the 1980s. Even the way they dress and style their hair is from the 80s可知本段写了他们看纸质的书而不是电子书，他们用纸质的地图而不是卫星导航，它们家住在一个建在20世纪80年代的房子，甚至穿着方式和头发都和80年代的人一样，可知本段写了他们做什么和不做什么，所以选A。

【3】B细节理解题。由文中 The whole idea started when young Trey was called to come outside.可知整个想法最开始是Trey想到的，所以选B。
