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 a13. The duo 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.

正確選項(xiàng): 1-5 CDCAC 6-10 DCDCD 11-15 AABAC 16-20 BABBC
真題解析:
1. C [A] ticket 票 [B] permit 允許,許可 [C] signal信號(hào),標(biāo)志 [D] record記錄,記載
解析:名詞辨析。根據(jù)上句話含義,“我們周?chē)拿總(gè)人似乎都打開(kāi)他們的手機(jī),甚至沒(méi)有__出現(xiàn)的時(shí)候“。與手機(jī)相關(guān)的最合適的選項(xiàng)應(yīng)為C信號(hào)的意思。因此C為正確選項(xiàng)。
2. D [A] nothing 沒(méi)有什么 [B] little 一點(diǎn) [C] another另外一個(gè) [D] much許多
解析:名詞辨析。在這句話中because there's ____to be gained,缺少的是gained 的賓語(yǔ)。所以我們much 代替這個(gè)賓語(yǔ)。因此D為正確選項(xiàng)。
3. C [A] beaten被擊敗的,打敗的 [B] guided有指導(dǎo)的 [C] plugged 塞緊的 [D] brought帶來(lái),拿來(lái)
解析:動(dòng)賓搭配。C選項(xiàng)plugged 與into搭配,譯為“塞進(jìn)”,符合原文語(yǔ)境。因此C為正確選項(xiàng)。
4. A [A] message消息,信息 [B] code密碼,法則 [C] notice注意 [D] sign符號(hào),簽名
解析:動(dòng)賓搭配。send the messages 譯為“傳遞消息”符合原文語(yǔ)義。因此A為正確選項(xiàng)。
5. C [A] under在……下面 [B] beyond超出 [C] behind 在……后面 [D] from來(lái)自
解析:動(dòng)詞與介詞搭配。本題中,空格處所需一個(gè)介詞,和前面的hide搭配。因此,hide behind 翻譯成“隱藏在__的后面”,搭配最為合理。因此C為正確選項(xiàng)。
6.D [A]misapplied 被誤用的 [B]mismatched 不相配的,不勢(shì)均力敵的 [C]misadjusted 失調(diào)的 [D]misinterpreted誤解
解析:上下文語(yǔ)義+詞義辨析 在本題中,空格處需要填一個(gè)動(dòng)詞的被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài),同時(shí)要搭配后面的“as creepy”(被___當(dāng)做怪異的)。因此,結(jié)合四個(gè)單詞的含義,D選項(xiàng)“被誤解成為行為怪異的”更符合原文語(yǔ)義要求。因此D為正確選項(xiàng)。
7. C [A]replaced被替換的 [B]fired被開(kāi)除的 [C]judged裁定的,評(píng)判的 [D]delayed延時(shí)的,拖延的
解析:上下文語(yǔ)義+詞義辨析 本句中,考查我們 “fear” 的事情是被____. 結(jié)合上下文語(yǔ)義以及選項(xiàng)含義,我們可以直接排除掉B和D,這兩項(xiàng)與“坐地鐵”無(wú)關(guān)。符合原文含義的是D,我們害怕被“評(píng)判”。因此C為正確選項(xiàng)。
8. D [A]unreasonable不合理的,不切合實(shí)際的 [B] ungrateful忘恩負(fù)義的,不領(lǐng)情的 [C]unconventional非傳統(tǒng)的,不合慣例的[D]unfamiliar不熟悉的
解析:上下文語(yǔ)義+形容詞辨析 本題考查形容詞的辨析。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)本身沒(méi)有難度。做形容詞這一類(lèi)題要注意它修飾的成分是什么。本句是一個(gè)較簡(jiǎn)單的主系表結(jié)構(gòu),主語(yǔ)是“strangers” ,空格處讓我們填表語(yǔ),修飾的是strangers,因此,根據(jù)語(yǔ)義,應(yīng)該選擇D選項(xiàng)“不熟悉的”,譯為“陌生人本身對(duì)我們來(lái)說(shuō)就是不太熟悉的”。因此D 為正確選項(xiàng)。
9. C [A]comfortable 舒適的,充裕的[B]confident自信的,有信心的[C]anxious憂(yōu)慮的, [D]angry生氣的,憤怒的
解析:上下文語(yǔ)義+形容詞辨析 本題結(jié)合前半句的含義,“陌生人本身對(duì)我們來(lái)說(shuō)就是不太熟悉的”,因此,人們?cè)诤湍吧私涣鞯臅r(shí)候會(huì)更___。我們要選擇一個(gè)形容詞來(lái)修飾與陌生人交流時(shí) 候的心情,結(jié)合四個(gè)單詞含義,C“憂(yōu)慮的”更符合這種交流心境。因此C為正確選項(xiàng)。
10.D [A]attend 出席,參加[B]point指出,朝向,瞄準(zhǔn)[C]take 拿,帶 [D]turn 翻轉(zhuǎn),旋轉(zhuǎn),轉(zhuǎn)移
解析:動(dòng)詞搭配。上句語(yǔ)義為“為了避免這種尷尬,我們___我們的手機(jī)”。在本句中,需要一個(gè)動(dòng)詞,并且能“to”搭配。A與B比較好 排除,關(guān)鍵看C和D這兩個(gè)選項(xiàng). C選項(xiàng) “take to ”譯為“開(kāi)始,從事”。D選項(xiàng)“turn to”譯為“轉(zhuǎn)向”。D比C更能說(shuō)明我們的這個(gè)動(dòng)作。因此D為正確選項(xiàng)。
11. A [A]dangerous 危險(xiǎn)的[B]mysterious神秘的[C]violent猛烈的,強(qiáng)烈的,暴力的 [D]boring令人厭煩的,無(wú)聊的
解析:形容詞辨析。結(jié)合上文語(yǔ)句,“電話已經(jīng)變成了我們的安全保證”,“它是我們快樂(lè)的保障并且能夠保護(hù)我們,不讓我們受到更___的情況。”根據(jù)上下文語(yǔ)義以及四個(gè)形容詞含義,A選項(xiàng)更符合語(yǔ)義要求。“危險(xiǎn)的”和前面的“保護(hù)”搭配更為合理。因此A為正確選項(xiàng)。
12. A [A]hurt 損害,傷害[B]resist抵制,抵抗[C]bend彎曲 [D]decay(使)衰退,腐敗
解析:動(dòng)詞辨析。這段句首有一個(gè)非常重要的連接詞 “But”,表示轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系,說(shuō)明接下來(lái)所要表述的含義與上文發(fā)生了完全的改變。根據(jù)對(duì)上一段的分析,是說(shuō)人們?cè)诔俗罔F的時(shí)候,經(jīng)常看手機(jī)是因?yàn)楹ε潞湍?生人交流,那么這一段的論述方向?yàn)?ldquo;但是如果我們收起手機(jī),向上看看,其實(shí)不會(huì)__的重。”結(jié)合四個(gè)選項(xiàng)含義,A選項(xiàng)“傷害”更符合語(yǔ)義。因此A為正確選 項(xiàng)。
13. B [A]lecture演講,講課 [B]conversation談話,會(huì)話[C]debate辯論,爭(zhēng)論 [D]negotiation談判,協(xié)商
解析:名詞辨析。本題相對(duì)較簡(jiǎn)單,動(dòng)詞和名詞的搭配,“開(kāi)始一個(gè)(場(chǎng))__”,結(jié)合原文語(yǔ)義,應(yīng)該為開(kāi)始談話。因此B為正確選項(xiàng)。
14. A [A]passengers 旅客[B]employees雇員[C]researchers 研發(fā)人員[D]trainees研修生
解析:名詞辨析。結(jié)合全文主旨,本文在討論乘坐地鐵是否和陌生人說(shuō)話的問(wèn)題。因此,A“乘客”是最符合語(yǔ)境的。因此A為正確選項(xiàng)。
15. C [A]reveal 顯示,透漏[B]choose選擇[C]predict 預(yù)測(cè)[D]design設(shè)計(jì),計(jì)劃
解析:動(dòng)詞辨析。本題考查四個(gè)選項(xiàng)的詞義辨析。結(jié)合原文語(yǔ)境,我們不難發(fā)現(xiàn),有一個(gè)非常重要的線索點(diǎn),即“ how they would feel after talking to a stranger”我們要選擇一個(gè)動(dòng)詞能連接后面的“would”將來(lái)時(shí),所以,只有C選項(xiàng)有這個(gè)功能。因此C為正確選項(xiàng)。
16. B [A]voyage 航行,旅行[B]ride騎,乘[C]walk步行 [D]flight飛行
解析:名詞辨析。在本句中, “____ would be more pleasant if they sat on their own,”要選擇一個(gè)動(dòng)詞與乘坐地鐵有關(guān)。因此,B選項(xiàng)“ride乘”比較符合原文語(yǔ)義。
17.A [A]went through 經(jīng)歷,檢查,瀏覽[B]did away(with)廢除,去掉[C]caught up 趕上,追上[D]put up放,存儲(chǔ),提供
解析:介詞短語(yǔ)搭配。本題所需短語(yǔ)要與后面的experience搭配,因此A選項(xiàng)“經(jīng)歷”更符合語(yǔ)義要求。
18. B [A]in turn 依次,輪流,反過(guò)來(lái)[B]in fact事實(shí)上 [C]in particular尤其是 [D]in consequence結(jié)果是
解析:邏輯關(guān)系題。本題考查的是遞進(jìn)關(guān)系,即下文對(duì)上文進(jìn)一步解釋說(shuō)明。因此B為正確選項(xiàng)。
19.B [A]unless除非 [B]since直到,因?yàn)閇C]if如果 [D]whereas然而
解析:邏輯關(guān)系題。本句考查的是因果關(guān)系,因此只有B選項(xiàng)可以表示這種邏輯關(guān)系。
20. C [A]funny 有趣的[B]logical有邏輯的[C]simple簡(jiǎn)單的 [D]rare罕見(jiàn)的
解析:形容詞辨析題。文章最后給出一個(gè)總結(jié)性的表述,即與陌生人說(shuō)話可以讓你感覺(jué)有連接感,考查我們“這是什么樣的問(wèn)題”。根據(jù)上下文語(yǔ)義關(guān)系選擇C更符合語(yǔ)境。
