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.
【C7】
选项
A、fired
B、judged
C、replaced
D、delayed
答案
B
解析
本题考查动词辨析并且以被动语态出现。本动词的主语信息为we,并且本动词出现在一个宾语从句中,从句之前的信息是We fear,即本填空选择的动词表达的是一个令我们害怕(We fear)的概念。据此对四个选项逐一分析:A项fired(被开除)和C项replaced(被替代)是不合逻辑的,因为与陌生人交流不会出现这两种结果。同时我们还注意到本填空所在的句子实际上是处于一个平行对应的排比句中,即形成对应成分,根据上述对应成分的分析,可以发现本填空动词要表达的意思与rejection(拒绝)、misinterpreted (误读,曲解)和disruptive(扰乱的)属于类似的概念。而D项delayed(被耽误)明显不是同类概念。只有B项judged(被评价)最合理,judge此处表示对人进行“判断,评价”的意思,而这种评价往往是负面批评性的评价,这与misinterpreted(误读,曲解)非常类似,即我们害怕与陌生人交流会受到别人负面评价。
