The number of devices you can talk to is multiplying—first it was your phone, then your car, and now you can tell your kitchen appliances what to do. But even without gadgets that understand our spoken commands, research suggests that, as bizarre as it sounds, under certain【C1】______, people regularly ascribe human traits to everyday objects.
Sometimes we see things as human because we are【C2】______In one experiment, people who reported feeling isolated were more likely than others to attribute【C3】______to various gadgets. In turn, feeling close to objects can【C4】______loneliness. When college students were reminded of a time they had been【C5】______in a social setting, they compensated by exaggerating their number of friends—unless they were first given tasks that caused them to interact with their phone as if it had human qualities. According to the researchers, the participants’ phones【C6】______substituted for real friends.
At other times, we personify products in an effort to understand them. One study found that three in four respondents yelled at their computer. Further, the more their computer gave them problems, the more likely the respondents were to report that it had its own "beliefs and【C7】______."
So how do people assign traits to an object? In part, we rely on looks. On humans, wide faces are【C8】______with dominance. Similarly, people rated cars, clocks, and watches with wide faces as more dominant-looking than narrow-faced ones, and preferred them—especially in【C9】______situations. An analysis of car sales in Germany found that cars with grilles (护栅) that were upturned like smiles sold best. The purchasers saw this【C10】______as increasing a car’s friendliness.
A) alleviate F) competitive K) feature
B) apparently G) conceded L) lonely
C) arrogant H) consciousness M) separate
D) associated I) desires N) spectacularly
E) circumstances J) excluded O) warrant
【C9】
选项
答案
F
解析
[语法判断]空格前为介词in,空格后为名词situations,因此空格处应填入一个形容词修饰situations。[语义判断]根据上文可知,人们认为宽脸的物品比小脸的物品更有优势,此处将宽脸和小脸的物品进行比较。根据常识可知,有比较就意味着有“竞争”。由此推断,空格处应填入一个表示“有竞争的,有对比的”的形容词。由此确定,F)competitive“竞争的”为本题答案。
