【小题19】A
【小题20】D
解析【小题1】C
解析 本段第一句话句意为:在这个数字世界,独处几乎是不存在的。所以本句表达的意思是有了电子邮件、社会网络等这些通讯工具,信息意味着被互相分享(share)。update更新;receive得到,收到;collect收集。
【小题2】 C
解析 一旦你放弃了独处,那么就很难再找回来。此处用连词once引导条件状语从句,符合语境。though尽管,引导让步状语从句;until直到,引导时间状语从句;before在……之前,引导时间状语从句,均不符合上下文语境。
【小题3】 B
解析 新技术应是塑造(shape)而不是尊重(respect)、忽视(ignore)或保护(preserve)我们的文化。
【小题4】 C
解析 既然想与他人有联系,那自然就会结束独处的境地。bring sth.to an end使……结束,为固定表达。
【小题5】 D
解析 在这个网络相连的世界,找到一个人是如此容易。此处用reachable(可获得的,可达到的)来表示人很容易被找到。sensitive敏感的;intelligent聪明的,有才智的;considerate体贴的体谅的。
【小题6】 A
解析 由空格前的one can often be contacted(一个人经常会被联系到)与空格后的they’d rather not be可知,空格处应表示“即使,尽管”(even if)。
【小题7】 B
解析 我们能交谈、发短信、发电子邮件、聊天和写博客,除了能用手机做到之外,当然就是电脑(computer)了。
【小题8】 D
解析 既然大多数发达国家习惯了这种数字技术,所以人们就变得依赖它们。become dependent on为固定搭配,意为“变得依赖/依靠”。
【小题9】 B
解析 在这种情况下,不使用(using)数字技术则使他们显得像旁观者、局外人。本处为动名词短语作主语。
【小题10】 A
解析 除了上文提到的人们已经习惯了数字技术外,许多工作和职业也(also)需要人们互相联系。
【小题11】A
解析 许多工作和职业也需要人们互相联系(to be connected)。其他选项用在此处句意不通顺。
【小题12】 C
解析 空格后提到的是那些不想被联系到的人,所以being reachable对他们来说自然就是一种负担(burden)。
【小题13】 D
解析 独处仍然是可能的自然是对那些真正(really)想要独处的人来说的。slightly稍微地,hardly几乎不,merely仅仅。
【小题14】 B
解析 想要独处,可把电脑关掉,手机也可关掉。shut down关闭,符合语境。shut out不让……进入;shut up住口;监禁;shut in把……关在房内。
【小题15】 C
解析 由空格后的关键词as well as disadvantages可知,应填advantages(有利条件)。
【小题16】 B
解析 游客们在山中迷路(lost),正是手机救了他们的命。如果说是游客们藏(hidden)在或被抛弃(deserted)在山中,则不合常理。
【小题17】 A
解析 本段提到“被联系上”既有有利条件又有不利条件,上句“手机救了很多人的命”是有利条件,此处指不利条件,当人们被逼无奈回电话或回复信息时,他们会感到陷入困境。trapped陷入困境的,受到限制的。
【小题18】 D
解析 由上题解析可知此处表示“回复信息”。reply to为固定搭配,意为“回复”。
【小题19】 A
7解析 根据后面的Some...Others...可知人们对待“被联系”的态度不同。vary变化。
【小题20】 D
解析 此处表示尽管人们的态度不同,但是很难想象没有(without)科技进步的生活会是什么样子。
