问题 The irony of digital networking is that it can produce more (i)________than did the geographical confinement it supposedly transcended. As human interactions become (ii)________physical location, people are less likely to have regular dealings with others who do not share the same values and outlooks.
Blank (i)        Blank (ii)
A. provincialism D. more determined by
B. diversity     E. less contingent on
C. materialism   F. less insensitive to

选项

答案E

解析 先看空格(ii),第一句说关于数字网络的讽刺之处在于,它比地理限制产生了更多的________,而人们本来认为网络是超越了地理限制的。关键词是irony(讽刺之处),说明后面一定要体现出矛盾的地方。既然人们认为网络超越了地理限制,那么只要说网络实际上造成了更大的限制就可以体现出讽刺的意味,因此空格(i)选A项provincialism(隔阂)。再看空格(ii)逻辑连接标志是逗号,表示前后同义重复。前面说随着人们的交际(interactions)变得________实际位置(physical location),后面说人们更加不愿意跟那些与他们想法和观点不同的人打交道了。become physical location同义对应于前面提到的transcend,the geographical confinement,所以空格(ii)填否定词,表示“不依赖”的含义,E项less contingent on(不那么依赖)符合。
