【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇议论文。文章主要讲了现代人对科技的依赖，无论是在办公室的上班簇还是家里的小孩，甚至整个社会。科技确实重要，但我们也要保持生活的真实性，体验真正的生活。
【16题详解】
上两句提到“如果你的电脑，iPad或笔记本电脑今天死机，会发生什么？如果有人拿走你的手机几天或者你弄丢了手机会怎样呢？”承接上文，E选项“如果想到这些会使你焦虑不安，那么你不是一个人（不是只有你有这种情况）”切题。该选项中的incidences对应上文两个问题中发生的情况，该选项的not alone对应下文的most people。故选E项。
【17题详解】
上一句提到“如果你碰巧在办公室工作，你可能比较熟悉这种趋势。”承接上文，C选项“如果网络关闭，今天所有的任务都会结束。”切题。该选项中的all the tasks与上文的work in offices相呼应。故选C项。
【18题详解】
上一句提到“那些看卡通片和朋友玩耍的夜晚活动已经不存在了”承接上文，G项“现如今，大多数小孩待在室内玩电脑游戏或者玩智能手机。”切题。整个这一段都是讲的科技对小孩的影响，只有G选项提到了小孩。故选G项。
【19题详解】
上一句提到“它已经变得如此严重，以至于医生建议进行‘科技排毒’。”承接上文，A项“也许你可能听说过。”切题。该选项中的it对应上一句的“technology detox”，这是一个专有名词，也许你可能听说过。后一句提到“如果没有，根据牛津字典……”所以A选项正好将这两句话连接了起来。故选A项。
【20题详解】
上一句提到“我们必须承认，当今社会对被越来越多的引入我们的生活的发明正在失去自制力。”下一句提到“同时，当我们在现实生活中应该体验生活的时候，我们应该有把它关掉的纪律。”承接上下文，B项“我们欣赏技术，因为它有它的好处。”切题。技术正让我们失去自制能力，但我们不能全盘否定，它有它的好处，但同时我们应该有自制能力。B项正好将前后句连接起来了。故选B项
【点睛】七选五的解题技巧之一是根据上下文词汇来锁定线索。即：要关注空白前后的名词和动词，然后在选项中查找它们的近义词、反义词、同义词、同类词等。其次是一些专有名词，比如说数词、代词、时间、年代、地点/名称等。在本文中，第4小题中的“it”对应上文“technology detox”，这是一个专有名词，也许你可能听说过。后一句提到“如果没有，根据牛津字典……”所以A选项正好将这两句话连接了起来。故选A项。
