The number of devices you can talk to is multiplying—first it was your phone, then your car, and now you can tell your kitchen appliances what to do. But even without gadgets that understand our spoken commands, research suggests that, as bizarre as it sounds, under certain【C1】______, people regularly ascribe human traits to everyday objects.
Sometimes we see things as human because we are【C2】______In one experiment, people who reported feeling isolated were more likely than others to attribute【C3】______to various gadgets. In turn, feeling close to objects can【C4】______loneliness. When college students were reminded of a time they had been【C5】______in a social setting, they compensated by exaggerating their number of friends—unless they were first given tasks that caused them to interact with their phone as if it had human qualities. According to the researchers, the participants’ phones【C6】______substituted for real friends.
At other times, we personify products in an effort to understand them. One study found that three in four respondents yelled at their computer. Further, the more their computer gave them problems, the more likely the respondents were to report that it had its own "beliefs and【C7】______."
So how do people assign traits to an object? In part, we rely on looks. On humans, wide faces are【C8】______with dominance. Similarly, people rated cars, clocks, and watches with wide faces as more dominant-looking than narrow-faced ones, and preferred them—especially in【C9】______situations. An analysis of car sales in Germany found that cars with grilles (护栅) that were upturned like smiles sold best. The purchasers saw this【C10】______as increasing a car’s friendliness.
A) alleviate F) competitive K) feature
B) apparently G) conceded L) lonely
C) arrogant H) consciousness M) separate
D) associated I) desires N) spectacularly
E) circumstances J) excluded O) warrant
【C6】
选项
答案
B
解析
[语法判断]分析句子结构可知,空格处所在句基本成分完整,因此空格处应填入副词修饰谓语动词。[语义判断]空格前一句中提到,大学生们被要求完成的任务是与手机进行互动,就好像手机具有人类的特性一样,也就是说,手机好像取代了人类。由此推断,空格处需要填入一个表示“好像,看起来”的副词,同时与上句中的as if形成呼应。由此确定,B)apparently“看来,似乎”为本题答案。
