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 1 underground.It's a sad reality--our desire to avoid interacting with other human beings--because there's 2 to be gained from talking to the stranger standing by you.But you wouldn't know it,3 into your phone.This universal armor sends the 4:"Please don't approach me."What is it that makes us feel we need to hide 5 our screens?One answer is fear,according to Jon Wortmann,executive mental coach.We fear rejection,or that our innocent social advances will be 6 as"creepy,".We fear we'll be 7.We fear we'll be disruptive.Strangers are inherently 8 to us,so we are more likely to feel 9 when communicating with them compared with our friends and acquaintances.To avoid this anxiety,we 10 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 11.”But once we rip off the bandaid,tuck our smartphones in our pockets and look up,it doesn't 12 so bad.In one 2011 experiment,behavioral scientists Nicholas Epley and Juliana Schroeder asked commuters to do the unthinkable:Start a 13.They had Chicago train commuters talk to their fellow 14."When Dr.Epley and Ms.Schroeder asked other people in the same train station to 15 how they would feel after talking to a stranger,the commuters thought their 16 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 17 with the experiment,"not a single person reported having been snubbed."18,these commutes were reportedly more enjoyable compared with those sans communication,which makes absolute sense,19 human beings thrive off of social connections.It's that 20:Talking to strangers can make you feel connected.2选?A.nothingB.linkC.anotherD.much
选项
A.nothing
B.link
C.another
D.much
答案
D
解析
词义辨析【直击答案】It's a sad reality是对第一段内容的总结,该句中双破折号中的内容是对a sad reality的进一步解释。插入语后的because there's__2 to be gained from talking to the stranger standing by you是对主句It's a sad reality的原因解释,即与陌生人交流,我们会从中收获。根据句意,D项符合。另外该句后的But you wouldn't know it也提示了本句语义。【命题思路】本题需要根据上下文确定所需填入的语义,主要是寻找语义线索。【干扰排除】将四个选项代入句子,首先可以排除B项和C项,这两项均与句意不符。A项干扰性最强。空格所在句是观点句,从上下文语义上可以判断出作者是支持与陌生人交流的,文章末段也明确指出human beings thrive off of social connections。因此可排除A项。
