4.How many times do you check your Moments or Facebook page in a day to see(56)whetheryour latest post has got another"like"or"thumbs up"?Although you might (57)be embarrassed (embarrass)to admit how many times you do this,don't worry-psychological findings have shown it's (58)completely (complete) normal.
In fact,the pleasure we derive from getting a"like"is equal to(59)that of eating chocolate or winning money,and we can't help wanting more.According to the findings of the UCLA Brain Mapping Center,which observed 32teens aged between 13and 18,the feedback circuit (反饋電路) in the teens'brains are particularly sensitive,and the"social"and"visual"parts of their brains were activated when they received"likes"(60)on an Instagram-like social network.
The research also showed that though the thumbs up might come from complete(61)strangers (strange),the good they derive from it worked all the same.So,does it mean we should try our best to win as (62)many thumbs up as possible?Not necessarily so if we know the reasons behind our desire for attention.
In"Why are people eager for attention"by M.Farouk Radwan,he explained several cases in which people naturally longed for attention.Radwan said people who were an only child,who were used to being the center of attention in their house,may try to replicate these conditions.(63)Feeling (feel)"overlooked and unappreciated"might also lead you to long for attention.Other times,the state of being jealous,or wanting to cover your mistakes may also contribute to such longings.
In fact,too much desire for attention(64)can/may/mightcreate anxiety,and in turn ruin your happiness even when you get it.So what can we do about it?The answer is quite simple.
"If people could adopt goals not focused on their own self-esteem(自尊) but on something larger than their self,such as what they can create or contribute to others,they would be(65)less (little)susceptible(易受影響的) to some of the negative effects of pursuing self-esteem,"wrote psychology professor Jennifer Crocker in the Journal of Social Issues.Crocker suggests that"it's about having a goal that is bigger than the self."So perhaps the answer to our addiction to"likes"is simply to focus on something larger than ourselves-a tall order,but a worthy one.
分析 這是一篇社會生活類文章.很多人都習(xí)慣檢查一下自己新發(fā)的帖子得到了別人多少"like"or"thumb up"(即得到了多少人的關(guān)注),作者在文中分析了這種行為背后的原因,并且指出:想得到別人關(guān)注這很正常,但是,過于追求別人的關(guān)注將會產(chǎn)生不好的影響.
解答 56.whether 考察連接詞.根據(jù)句意可知,whether引導(dǎo)一個賓語從句,以為"是否".
57 be embarrassed 考察詞性變換.might為情態(tài)動詞后用動詞原形,指人感到尷尬,用embarrassed.
58 completely 考察副詞.此處用來修飾形容詞形式需要用副詞.
59 that 考察代詞.句子里that為代詞,代指前文提到的 pleasure.
60 on 考察介詞.在社交網(wǎng)站上,on…network.
61 strangers 考察名詞.根據(jù)句意此處需要用名詞形式.
62 many 考察形容詞.固定短語as many+名詞 as possible,以為盡可能多.
63 Feeling 考察現(xiàn)在分詞.分析句式可知,此處是充當(dāng)句子主語,故用動名詞形式.
64 can/may/might 考察情態(tài)動詞.表示猜測,用can/may/might.
65 less 考察形容詞比較級.根據(jù)句意可知,如果一個人將注意力放在幫助人上,就不會受到負(fù)面情緒的影響.
點評 語法填空題是考查學(xué)生的語言運用能力.解題時,要在理解文章的基礎(chǔ)上,靈活運用語法知識,如詞性,時態(tài),名詞單復(fù)數(shù),連接詞,代詞,冠詞等判斷空白處應(yīng)填寫的內(nèi)容.答完后,還要通讀全文,核對所填單詞形式是否正確,是否符合語境.
