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.
【C19】
选项
A、unless
B、since
C、if
D、whereas
答案
B
解析
本题考查上下文逻辑关系。本填空之前的原文信息是在阐述“人们之间交流比不交流感觉更加愉悦是绝对说得通的”。本填空之后的原文信息是human beings thrive off of social connections(人类是在社会交往的基础上进化发展的)。这里需要理解“人类是在社会交往的基础上进化发展的”是一个历史既定事实,不是假设条件,因此表达条件逻辑关系的C项if (如果)和A项unless(除非)均不成立。同时前后文之间也没有对立对比的关系,排除D项 whereas(然而,反之)。最合理的就是表达因果逻辑关系的B项since(由于),即由于“人类是在社会交往的基础上进化发展的”,因此“人们之间交流比不交流感觉更加愉悦是绝对讲得通的”。
