The cellphone, a device we have lived with for more than a decade, offers a good example of a popular technology’s unforeseen side effects. More than one billion are (1)_____ around the world, and when asked, their (2)_____ say they love their phones for the safety and convenience (3)_____ provide. People also report that they are (4)_____ in their use of their phones. One opinion survey (5)_____ that "98 percent of Americans say they move away from (6)_____ when talking on a wireless phone in public" (7)_____ "86 percent say they ’never’ or ’rarely’ speak (8)_____ wireless phones" when conducting (9)_____ with clerks or bank tellers. Clearly, there exists a (10)_____ between our reported cell phone behavior and our actual behavior.
Cellphone users—that is to say, most of us—are (11)_____ instigators and victims of this form of conversational panhandling, and it (12)_____ a cumulatively negative effect on social space. As the sociologist Erving Gateman observed in another (13)_____, there is something deeply disturbing about people who are" (14)_____ contact" in social situations because they are blatantly refusing to (15)_____ to the norms of their immediate environment. Placing a cellphone call in public instantly transforms the strangers around you (16)_____ unwilling listeners who must cede to your use of the public (17)_____, a decidedly undemocratic effect for so democratic a technology. Listeners don’t always passively (18)_____ this situation: in recent years, people have been pepper-sprayed in movie theaters, (19)_____ from concert hails and deliberately rammed with cars as a result of (20)_____ behavior on their cellphones.
选项
A、and that
B、as for
C、whereas
D、on the contrary
答案
A
解析
本题的考点为连词的用法辨析。结合上下文的意思,空格处的词是要并列连接that"98 percent of Americans say..."和"86 percent say..."两部分,所以and that符合题意和句中的结构。as for"至于",whereas"然而",on the contrary"与之相反"都不符合文中的意思和句子的结构。
