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、refused
B、ejected
C、rejected
D、repelled
答案
B
解析
本题的考点为对文章内容的理解和近义动词的词义辨析。这句话是说"近些年来,人们已经在电影院里不断受到抨击,从音乐厅中______",从而可知由于人们没有很好地把握好使用手机的时间和方式,他们会不被任何公共场所容纳,所以ejected"被逐出",be ejected from..."被从…中逐出",符合文意。refused"被拒绝",rejected"被抵制",repelled"被击退"均不符合题意。
