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.
【C11】
选项
A、dangerous
B、mysterious
C、violent
D、boring
答案
A
解析
本题考查形容词辨析。本形容词处于表语的位置,主语是what we perceive。同时本填空所在的句子是一个宾语从句,之前的信息是protect us from,也就是说本填空所在的句子所要表达的意思就是“要保护我们免于(protect us from)”的概念,根据这个分析,本填空所在的句子所要表达的意思一定是一个负面的、不好的概念,即本填空所选择的形容词必须是一个具有负面色彩的词汇。从这个倾向来判断,B项mysterious (神秘的)和D项boring (无聊的)可以排除,因为这两个概念还没有负面到要避免的、让人焦虑的程度。C项violent(暴力的)也不合理,因为文章探讨的与陌生人交流还没有任何地方涉及violent(暴力的)的概念,程度上也达不到。最佳选项应该是A项dangerous(危险的),从倾向上即是负面的,修饰的程度也比C项violent (暴力的)更合理。
