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.
【C10】
选项
A、attend
B、point
C、take
D、turn
答案
D
解析
本题考查动词辨析。本动词与之后的to构成一个动词短语,再根据之前的To avoid this uneasiness(为了避免这种焦虑),可以判断出本动词的意思是我们投向手机的怀抱,即选择与手机交流。能表达这个意思的是D项turn,因为turn to的意思是“转向,求助于”,在这里就是我们转向和求助于手机。这个意思最为合理。其他选项例如A项attend、B项point和C项take虽然从语法上可以与to构成搭配,但意思均不符合题意。
