【小題19】A
【小題20】D
解析【小題1】C
解析 本段第一句話句意為:在這個數(shù)字世界,獨處幾乎是不存在的。所以本句表達的意思是有了電子郵件、社會網(wǎng)絡(luò)等這些通訊工具,信息意味著被互相分享(share)。update更新;receive得到,收到;collect收集。
【小題2】 C
解析 一旦你放棄了獨處,那么就很難再找回來。此處用連詞once引導條件狀語從句,符合語境。though盡管,引導讓步狀語從句;until直到,引導時間狀語從句;before在……之前,引導時間狀語從句,均不符合上下文語境。
【小題3】 B
解析 新技術(shù)應(yīng)是塑造(shape)而不是尊重(respect)、忽視(ignore)或保護(preserve)我們的文化。
【小題4】 C
解析 既然想與他人有聯(lián)系,那自然就會結(jié)束獨處的境地。bring sth.to an end使……結(jié)束,為固定表達。
【小題5】 D
解析 在這個網(wǎng)絡(luò)相連的世界,找到一個人是如此容易。此處用reachable(可獲得的,可達到的)來表示人很容易被找到。sensitive敏感的;intelligent聰明的,有才智的;considerate體貼的體諒的。
【小題6】 A
解析 由空格前的one can often be contacted(一個人經(jīng)常會被聯(lián)系到)與空格后的they’d rather not be可知,空格處應(yīng)表示“即使,盡管”(even if)。
【小題7】 B
解析 我們能交談、發(fā)短信、發(fā)電子郵件、聊天和寫博客,除了能用手機做到之外,當然就是電腦(computer)了。
【小題8】 D
解析 既然大多數(shù)發(fā)達國家習慣了這種數(shù)字技術(shù),所以人們就變得依賴它們。become dependent on為固定搭配,意為“變得依賴/依靠”。
【小題9】 B
解析 在這種情況下,不使用(using)數(shù)字技術(shù)則使他們顯得像旁觀者、局外人。本處為動名詞短語作主語。
【小題10】 A
解析 除了上文提到的人們已經(jīng)習慣了數(shù)字技術(shù)外,許多工作和職業(yè)也(also)需要人們互相聯(lián)系。
【小題11】A
解析 許多工作和職業(yè)也需要人們互相聯(lián)系(to be connected)。其他選項用在此處句意不通順。
【小題12】 C
解析 空格后提到的是那些不想被聯(lián)系到的人,所以being reachable對他們來說自然就是一種負擔(burden)。
【小題13】 D
解析 獨處仍然是可能的自然是對那些真正(really)想要獨處的人來說的。slightly稍微地,hardly幾乎不,merely僅僅。
【小題14】 B
解析 想要獨處,可把電腦關(guān)掉,手機也可關(guān)掉。shut down關(guān)閉,符合語境。shut out不讓……進入;shut up住口;監(jiān)禁;shut in把……關(guān)在房內(nèi)。
【小題15】 C
解析 由空格后的關(guān)鍵詞as well as disadvantages可知,應(yīng)填advantages(有利條件)。
【小題16】 B
解析 游客們在山中迷路(lost),正是手機救了他們的命。如果說是游客們藏(hidden)在或被拋棄(deserted)在山中,則不合常理。
【小題17】 A
解析 本段提到“被聯(lián)系上”既有有利條件又有不利條件,上句“手機救了很多人的命”是有利條件,此處指不利條件,當人們被逼無奈回電話或回復信息時,他們會感到陷入困境。trapped陷入困境的,受到限制的。
【小題18】 D
解析 由上題解析可知此處表示“回復信息”。reply to為固定搭配,意為“回復”。
【小題19】 A
7解析 根據(jù)后面的Some...Others...可知人們對待“被聯(lián)系”的態(tài)度不同。vary變化。
【小題20】 D
解析 此處表示盡管人們的態(tài)度不同,但是很難想象沒有(without)科技進步的生活會是什么樣子。
