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.
【C2】
选项
A、nothing
B、link
C、another
D、much
答案
D
解析
本题考查名词辨析。本填空之后是不定式to be gained from talking to the stranger standing by you,即本名词需要定义“从与站在你旁边的陌生人的交谈中能得到什么”。四个选项出现了对立性的概念,比如A项nothing的意思就是“什么也得不到”,D项much的意思则是“得到很多”。因此本名词的答案就受到文章主旨倾向的影响,即答案要与文章主旨倾向一致。本文的主旨倾向在首段就已经表明,即批评人们不与陌生人交流。其次本填空所在的句子是由because引导的,即本句子解释前句信息的原因,而前句的信息是说“我们想要避免与其他人交流,这是可悲的”。根据这些分析,可以判定本填空的名词一定要定义“与站在你旁边的陌生人交谈是有好处的”,只有这样才符合文章的主旨倾向,因此本题最佳答案为D项much(许多),即“从与站在你旁边的陌生人的交谈中能得到许多”。其他选项中首先可排除的就是选项A项nothing(零,无),此选项表达的意思与文章主旨倾向完全相反。B项link(关联)和C项another(另一个)填入原文之后句子的意思不通顺。
