In the era of high-tech today, face-to-face conversation is dying.

The New York Times published an article recently that shows great   36   for the “death of conversation”. It   37   that while technology such as cell phones, e-mails, and Internet posting makes us feel more   38   than ever, they’re also driving us away from people around us.

         Users get final connectivity    39   the price of   40   face-to-face conversation. Sherry Turkle, author of the article in The New York Times says people are   41   to a different way of being “alone together”.

Actually,   42   text messages or writing micro-blogs allows us to   43   thoughts. But bits and pieces of online cannot   44   a “real conversation.” Lan Guo, 19, a freshman English major from Changsha University, said that she would like to hear people’s tone of voice and see their faces in a conversation. “The give and take of   45   in a conversation sharpens our minds.” she said. She also mentions that   46   ourselves in mobile technology reduces our chance of starting conversations with strangers and   47   people.

Turkle mentioned the popular   48   of “I share, therefore I am.” among this generation. Liu Xuan, a young writer from Taiwan and psychology graduate from Harvard University, thinks it’s an attitude   49   by most young people. They are   50   busy creating or polishing their online persona (网络人格) that they forget how to live a   51   life. 

However, experts remind us that it’s   52   to blame mobile technology. Chen Chen, a sociology expert at China Youth & Children Research Center, points out that   53   is still owners of tools who’re avoiding personal contact. We take advantage of these devices to hide ourselves from others. Texting messages or calling may be a(n)   54   to avoid contact with others, such as having eye contact. “Only by strengthening conversation can we understand each other.   55   throwing away the mobile phones is not a solution.” she said.

【解析】

本篇通过现代科技——手机、网络等在为人们沟通提供便利的同时,也使得许多年轻人遭遇沟通危机,与周围人关系日渐疏远这一问题,展开议论,是手机等技术之错,还是现代人之过?

1.A从下文的“death of conversation”推断应该是为此而感到遗憾(regret)。《纽约时报》近日发表的一篇文章表达了对“沟通对话被扼杀”的惋惜之情。respect尊敬;anger气愤;support支持。

2.C下文是该篇文章说明的内容。该篇文章说明……。advise 与suggest都有“建议”的意思,后面跟宾语从句时,从句中谓语动词要用should+原形动词,其中“should”可以省略。但是“suggest”还有“说明、暗示”等意思,这时后面的宾语从句谓语动词则不受此限制。本句中“suggest”真是“说明”的意思。speak和talk都是“说、说话”的意思,不符合上下文语境。

3.B 上文所提到的通讯工具和方式都与“联系” (connected)有关系。received接受;shared分享;

separated 分隔。该篇文章说明,手机、e-mail和网络帖子等科技在为人们沟通提供了前所未有的便利的同时,也使得我们疏远了身边的人。

4.D at the price of为固定搭配意为“以……为代价”。其余三个介词与“the price of”搭配都是不规范的用法。

5.C 根据上文的叙述我们可以推断:让人们以牺牲(sacrificing)面对面的交流为代价。having有;B risking 冒险;continuing继续。

6.D be accustomed to sth./doing sth.习惯于(做)某事;人们已习惯了这种“一起孤独”的新感受。be related to与……有关系;be committed to献身于,致力于;be limited to被限制在……上,限于。

7.A sending 无论站在己方还是对方,“发信息,写博客”都是同一方向的输出手段去交流,而“发信息,写博客”也已成为了现代人已俗成的表达方式。getting得到;reading阅读;taking带走。

8.B人们发送短信息写微博让我们交流(exchange)思想。change变化;explain解释;develop发展。

9.B联系上下文。虽然短信和网络能让我们交流思想,但是它们并不能真正代替(replace)面对面的交流。indicate表明,标示,指示,象征,暗示,预示;cover覆盖,遮蔽,采访,报导,涉及,包括;involve

包含,使参与,牵涉,围绕,缠绕。

10.A人们在“conversation”中交流的应该是思想“ideas”。交谈中思想上的施与受能够磨砺我们的心智。Letters信函,信件;chances         机会,可能性;gifts礼物。

11.C bury sb. in...让某人专注于……。同时她也提到,完全专注于手机世界之中,会减少我们的与陌生人交谈并结识朋友的机会。Imagining想象;joining参加;attaching贴上,系,附上。

12.D meeting强调与陌生人展开交谈及与人们见面的机会,而非介绍/辨认/采访/人的机会。

interviewing面试,访问,会见;introducing介绍;recognizing认出。

13.B concept 指年轻人中很流行的一种理念“我分享,故我存在”,而非感觉(feeling)、真相(truth) 或映像(image)等。

14.D adopted意为“所持有的,所采取的”。毕业于哈佛大学心理学专业的台湾青年作家刘轩认为,这是大部分年轻人所持有的一种心态。adapted适应的,适应不同情况(或环境)的,改编的,改写的;confirmed确认的,批准的;证实的;handled被处理的。

15.A so...that句型。他们如此忙于创建并完善个人的网络人格,以至于忘了如何去过一种真实的生活。too太;very       非常;quite相当,十分。

16.A real指真正现实的人生,而非丰富多彩的/日常的/有意义的人生。colorful丰富多彩的;daily每天的;meaningful有意义的。

17.C unfair纵观整段谈到的是造成人们回避正常见面交往的责任,在于使用这些现代技术设备的人,而非技术本身,故选C。important重要的;necessary必要的;uncomfortable不舒服的。

18.C这是一个强调句,强调“owners of tools”来自中国青年研究中心的社会学专家陈晨指出,毕竟是这些通讯设备的使用者正在回避人际交往。其余三个是this为指示代词. it和one都是代词,它们都不能用来引导强调句。

19.B excuse发信息或打电话也许是回避诸如有目光交流一类的正面接触的一种“借口”,而不是一种正当的理由(reason)或采取的策略(strategy),也不是对此做法的一种解释(explanation)

20.D Simply 简单的/只是扔掉手机一类的东西不是解决问题的办法,是针对目前的现状,这里不是强调经过一番过程后的结果“最终(Eventually)而扔掉手机”。我们借助这些设备,将自己隐藏起来,不让他人看到。短信或电话或许已成为了我们回避与他人进行眼神交流等接触方式的借口。“我们只有相互理解才能加强对话交流。仅仅是丢弃这些移动设备并非解决之道。”她说。Hardly几乎不;Approximately近似地,大约。

I recently heard a story about a famous scientist who had made several very important medical breakthroughs. He was being interviewed by a reporter who asked him    36   he thought he was able to be so much more    37   than the average person.

He    38   that it all came from a(n)   39   with his mother that occurred when he was about 2. He had been trying to remove milk from the fridge when he    40   the slippery(光滑的) bottle, its contents running all over the kitchen floor.

When his mother came in,    41   shouting at him or giving him a lecture, she said, "Robert, what a great and wonderful    42   you have made! I have    43   seen such a huge pool of milk. Well, the damage has already been    44  . Would you like to get down and    45   in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?"

Indeed, he did. After a few minutes, his mother said, "Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to    46   everything to its proper order. So, how would you like to do that? We could use a sponge(海绵), a towel or a mop. Which do you prefer?" He chose the sponge.

His mother then said, "You know, what we have here is a    47   experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two    48   hands. Let's go out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can make it." The little boy learned that if he    49   the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful    50  !

This scientist then remarked that it was at that moment that he knew he didn't need to be    51  to make mistakes. Instead, he learned that mistakes were just    52   for learning something new, which is,    53  , what scientific experiments are all about. Even if the experiment "doesn't   54  ," we usually learn something    55   from it.

When I began my high school years, I was quite interested in biology. I read lots of books of my father’s about animals, and I was   36   much educated about such matters as a 16-year-old could be.

    One Sunday afternoon, I was   37  with friends about animals. I said the whale(鲸鱼)was   __38  a mammal animal. They disagreed. Finally, I called a   39   over to help settle the matter. I knew I was  40  , so I was looking forward to the teacher  41   I was right. My friends were eager for an opposite answer. We asked her   42  the whale was a mammal. “No, the whale is a fish,” she said without a moment’s   43  .

You could have knocked me over with a feather. My   44   was hurt because I lost the argument, but that wasn’t the main reason I was too  45  to speak. I still knew I was right, which   __46  the teacher was wrong. Not only was she wrong,   47   she was completely ignorant(无知的) about something I thought was   48   knowledge. But she was a teacher who had taught a long time. Everyone   49   her and no one else thought she could be wrong.

__50  that, I hadn’t known grown-ups could be wrong. This   51  shaped the way I viewed people as I grew up.   52   I found anyone treated another person with too much respect and admiration, I thought——and still think——“   53   silly.” From that point on, I had no  54__ for authority(权威). To earn my respect, you have to be smart or  55   . I’ll never respect you just because you happen to be in charge or have a degree.
