Not so long ago, it was the stuff of nightmares: you pick up the landline telephone and there’s no dialing tone. Nothing. The phone is useless,【C1】________in your hand. For most of the 20th century, this was a horror film stereotype, a symbol of isolation and【C2】________foretold.
But just 15 years later, the death of the landline is close to being a【C3】________—and one entirely of our own making. BT has announced plans to【C4】________charges for landline calls, in a bid to maintain commercial feasibility for landline services. The move suggests that BT—which has long【C5】________landlines over mobile calls—may have given up on turning back the clock. In the US, the【C6】________of households that, have mobile phone connection but no landline has risen to a quarter. The most recent research in the UK, put the【C7】________figure at 15%.
For millions of today’s twentysomethings, who have had a mobile number since their teens and for whom a landline makes no【C8】________sense during the transient years before they settle down, the moment of【C9】________into land-line-owning may never come【C10】________it becomes an expensive extra
The death of the landline has gone almost unnoticed. After all, the noise of phone chatting is all around us. What【C11】________does it make whether the cables lie underground or not? A lot,【C12】________. The death of the landline is a cultural【C13】________that affects our personal and public lives. It has separated us【C14】________our groupings—in the office, where email has disconnected us from what the people who sit three feet away do all day, and even more【C15】________. at home. In any household in the days before mobiles【C16】________. the landline served as a switchboard for everyone’s connections outside the home.【C17】________families, couples, roommates, it was a kind of【C18】________knowledge map about the state of everyone’s romantic and social lives, and one we took for granted. And【C19】________though we are to our mobiles, most of the time we aren’t talking but typing. With its arrogant "ignore" button, we all become a little more untouchable in our individual worlds, and less【C20】________.
【C14】
选项
A、into
B、from
C、around
D、against
答案
B
解析
根据破折号后面的内容“电子邮件断开了我们与近在咫尺的同事间的交流”,可判断所需介词应搭配separated表示“分离”之意,因此B项from正确。separate搭配A项into表示“把……分成”,不符合句子的逻辑要求。C项around“在……周围”不跟separate搭配。D项against“针对,对抗着”语义不符合要求。
