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.
【C8】
选项
A、unreasonable
B、ungrateful
C、unconventional
D、unfamiliar
答案
D
解析
本题考查形容词辨析。本形容词处于表语的位置,主语是Strangers(陌生人),填空之后出现了us(我们)。可知我们要选择一个形容词来描述Strangers(陌生人)对于us(我们)而言是怎样的,即定义Strangers(陌生人)对于us(我们)的特性是什么。四个选项中明显答案是D项unfamiliar(不熟悉的),因为主语Strangers(陌生人)已经提示了答案,既然是strangers(陌生人),那最大的特征就是unfamiliar(不熟悉的),这是明显的复现呼应关系。其他选项A项unreasonable(不合理的)、B项ungrateful(不领情的,忘恩负义的)和C项unconventional(非传统的,非常规的)虽然从语法上都可以作表语,但这些意思在原文中均没有提示信息的支持,与主语Strangers(陌生人)也均不相关。
