问题 Viewing people as “social atoms” that obey rather simple rule (which are not unlike the laws of physic), one may discover certain (i)________. Take, for example, the way channels emerge when people move in crowds. In the midst of initially (ii)________movements, one person begins to follow another—in an effort to avoid collisions—and streams of movement emerge. As more people join in, there is greater pull on others to join the flow, and the particular channels become (iii)________.
Blank (i)                  Blank (ii)         Blank (iii)
A. apparent contradictions D. inflexible      G. self-defeating
B. unproductive tendencies E. straightforward H. self-aggrandizing
C. law-like regularities   F. chaotic         I. self-perpetuating

选项

答案C,F,I

解析 先看空格(i),前面说人们(people)遵循着非常简单的规律(obey rather simple rule),注意括号里说明这个simple role像物理学规律(which are not unlike the laws of physic)。后面说我们可以发现________,所以空格(i)对应小括号里的内容取其同义概念,C项law-like regularities(定律似的规律)符合。通过这道题目就可以明确一点,在填空的读题过程中,除了人名、地名之外,不存在其他可跳读省略的元素,括号里的内容也必须认真对待。再看空格(ii),注意空格(ii)前的initially(起初),很有可能表示时间点前后的对比,前句举例说人群移动时会出现通道。后句说最开始________的运动,后来出现one follow another。后来有序,那最开始必然是无序的,因此空格(ii)选K chaotic(混乱的)。最后看空格(iii),越来越多的人加入后,特殊通道变得________,这里对应第一句的obey rather simple rule,即遵从简单规则。I项self-perpetuating(自我保持)最符合,这里很多同学会选择self-aggrandizing,注意这个词并不是字面上“自我增大”的意思,参考一下《美国传统词典》做出的解释:the act or practice of enhancing or exaggerating one’s own importance, power, or reputation,表示提升自己的重要性、影响力等,因此不符合句意。
