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.
【C16】
选项
A、voyage
B、flight
C、walk
D、ride
答案
D
解析
本题考查名词辨析。本名词出现的句子中存在着明显的提示信息,比如the commuters (通勤者),而这个the commuters(通勤者)指的就是此前实验中的Chicago train commuters,即火车上的通勤乘客。根据这些信息,最佳答案是D项ride(乘车旅途),这与train commuters是复现呼应关系。其他选项例如A项voyage(航海旅程)和B项flight(航空旅程)分别表达的是航海和航空的旅程,而C项walk表示“步行”,均与train commuters的语境无关。

那一天正是五月十五,河中人过大端阳节。箱子岩洞窟中最美丽的三只龙船,早被乡下人托出浮在水面上。船只狭而长,船舷描绘有朱红线条,全船坐满了青年桨手,头腰各缠红布。鼓声起处,船便如一支没羽箭,在平静无波的长潭中来去如飞。河身大约一里路宽,两岸皆有人看船,大声呐
