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.
【C3】
选项
A、beaten
B、guided
C、plugged
D、brought
答案
C
解析
本题考查动词辨析且以被动语态出现。本动词出现在But引导的与上文有转折关系的句子中,而上文表述的是“从与站在你旁边的陌生人的交谈中能得到许多”。But之后的信息则是you wouldn’t know it(你不会知道),同时本动词之后的信息是into your phone。这样很容易判断出本动词要表达的意思是“与手机亲密交流,这样你不会知道与人交流能得到许多”。而且此处本动词与首段中出现的fiddle with their phones是明显的复现结构。本填空的动词就是选择一个与fiddle with(摆弄)意思基本相同的选项,因此本题的答案为选项C项plugged(插入),plug into表示电器插上插头,即“通电”的意思,在这里就是人们开始摆弄手机的意思。其他选项例如A项beaten(击打)、B项guided(引导)、D项brought(带来)与into your phone无法构成有意义的搭配。
