The number of devices you can talk to is multiplying—first it was your phone, then your car, and now you can tell your kitchen appliances what to do. But even without gadgets that understand our spoken commands, research suggests that, as bizarre as it sounds, under certain【C1】______, people regularly ascribe human traits to everyday objects.
Sometimes we see things as human because we are【C2】______In one experiment, people who reported feeling isolated were more likely than others to attribute【C3】______to various gadgets. In turn, feeling close to objects can【C4】______loneliness. When college students were reminded of a time they had been【C5】______in a social setting, they compensated by exaggerating their number of friends—unless they were first given tasks that caused them to interact with their phone as if it had human qualities. According to the researchers, the participants’ phones【C6】______substituted for real friends.
At other times, we personify products in an effort to understand them. One study found that three in four respondents yelled at their computer. Further, the more their computer gave them problems, the more likely the respondents were to report that it had its own "beliefs and【C7】______."
So how do people assign traits to an object? In part, we rely on looks. On humans, wide faces are【C8】______with dominance. Similarly, people rated cars, clocks, and watches with wide faces as more dominant-looking than narrow-faced ones, and preferred them—especially in【C9】______situations. An analysis of car sales in Germany found that cars with grilles (护栅) that were upturned like smiles sold best. The purchasers saw this【C10】______as increasing a car’s friendliness.
A) alleviate F) competitive K) feature
B) apparently G) conceded L) lonely
C) arrogant H) consciousness M) separate
D) associated I) desires N) spectacularly
E) circumstances J) excluded O) warrant [br] 【C10】
选项
答案
K
解析
[语法判断]空格处位于see sth.as sth.结构中,因此空格处应填入名词。[语义判断]上一句提到,那些前保险杠向上翘像是在微笑的汽车卖得最好。空格所在句做出解释:因为具备这种特点的车能增加汽车的友善度。由此可见,空格处所填名词应表示“特点,特色”,因此K)feature“特色,特征”为本题答案。
