In our contemporary culture, the prospect of communicating with—or even looking at—a stranger is virtually unbearable. Everyone around us seems to agree by the way they fiddle with their phones, even without a【C1】________on a subway.
It’s a sad reality—our desire to avoid interacting with other human beings—because there’s【C2】________to be gained from talking to the stranger standing by you. But you wouldn’t know it,【C3】________into your phone. This universal armor sends the【C4】________: "Please don’t approach me."
What is it that makes us feel we need to hide【C5】________our screens?
One answer is fear, according to Jon Wortmann, executive mental coach. We fear rejection, or that our innocent social advances will be【C6】________as "weird". We fear we’ll be【C7】________. We fear we’ll be disruptive.
Strangers are inherently【C8】________to us, so we are more likely to feel【C9】________when communicating with them compared with our friends and acquaintances. To avoid this uneasiness, we【C10】________to our phones. "Phones become our security blanket," Wortmann says. "They are our happy glasses that protect us from what we perceive is going to be more【C11】________.
But once we rip off the band-aid, tuck our smartphones in our pockets and look up, it doesn’t 【C12】________so bad. In one 2011 experiment, behavioral scientists Nicholas Epley and Juliana Schroeder asked commuters to do the unthinkable: Start a【C13】________. They had Chicago train commuters talk to their fellow【C14】________. "When Dr. Epley and Ms. Schroeder asked other people in the same train station to 【C15】________how they would feel after talking to a stranger, the commuters thought their【C16】________would be more pleasant if they sat on their own," The New York Times summarizes. Though the participants didn’t expect a positive experience, after they【C17】________with the experiment, "not a single person reported having been embarrassed."
【C18】________, these commutes were reportedly more enjoyable compared with those without communication, which makes absolute sense,【C19】________human beings thrive off of social connections. It’s that【C20】________: Talking to strangers can make you feel connected.
【C1】
选项
A、ticket
B、permit
C、signal
D、record
答案
C
解析
本题考查名词辨析。本文的核心主旨是在讲人们之间的交流困难与障碍,在本句中则给出了具体的事例,即they fiddle with their phones(他们都在摆弄手机),本名词填空就出现在此信息之后的状语中,即even without a________on a subway。根据此处例子中their phones这个主题信息以及本填空之后的on a subway(在地铁里)这个信息的提示,四个名词选项中答案应是选项C项signal(信号),因为只有signal(信号)能够与手机和地铁的概念相关联,即“人们即使在没有信号的地铁里也在摆弄手机”。在四个选项中选择与主题信息最相关的词汇为答案,与主题信息明显无关的词汇则予以排除。其他选项例如A项ticket(票)、B项permit(许可)和D项record(记录)与本事例中的their phones(手机)和subway(地铁)等主题信息毫无关系,属于明显的无关词,予以排除。
