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.7选?A.firedB.judgedC.replacedD.delayed
选项
A.fired
B.judged
C.replaced
D.delayed
答案
B
解析
词义辨析【直击答案】本句和We fear…our innocent social advances will be misinterpreted as“weird”.和We fear we'll be disruptive(制造混乱的).”为并列关系,因此推断出所填词在感情色彩上是负向的。B项符合语义,be judged意思是“受到评论”。【命题思路】本题命制时一方面要辨析选项的词义,另一方面要利用句间关系,寻找解题线索。【干扰排除】首先根据上下文语义,可以排除C项和D项。be fired可以理解为“受到攻击”,语义过重,故排除A项。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 uneasiness,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 bemore__11.”【译文】陌生人对我们来说有一种固有的陌生感,因此与和我们的朋友或相识交流相比,当与陌生人交流时,我们更有可能感觉焦虑。为了避免这种焦虑,我们转向我们的手机。Wortman说:“手机成为了我们的保护毯,他们是我们的幸福眼镜,保护我们远离我们认为可能更危险的事物”。
