【题目】阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
The more advanced technology becomes, the more it seems to have control over our lives. We shop, work, play, search for information and seek 【1】 (chat) with each other online. Yet people are not arguing about this astonishing condition. It 【2】 (believe) that people have readily embraced technology, seeking only the benefits but 【3】 (ignore) its drawbacks.
It does not matter whether your home is in a 【4】 (noise) downtown or in the remote countryside. If you have a screen 【5】 it can pick up a signal, your mind is still in the same placeless place. This place is the zone 【6】 your mind will go when you stare at a screen, and it feels like your mind stops thinking.
Recent developments in technology also led to a decline in normal social behaviors. In past ages, you could walk around town for a whole day without seeing all the people you know. Now, everyone you know is 【7】 arm’s reach, taking that certain psychological feeling out of seeing people. You can see them every second of every day, and hear nearly every single thought of theirs just as they hear 【8】 (you).

【解析】
这是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了现代技术是一把双刃剑。它们确实有自己的优势,但它们可以彻底改变我们的生活。
【1】考查固定短语。句意:我们在网上购物、工作、娱乐、搜索信息和聊天。固定短语seek to do sth.“试图做;设法做某事”,故填to chat。
【2】考查固定句式。句意:人们相信,人们已经欣然接受了技术,只追求它的好处而忽略了它的缺点。固定句式It is believed that…“人们相信……”,故填is believed。
【3】考查非谓语动词。句意同上。本空与上文seeking only the benefits构成并列非谓语结构,故填ignoring。
【4】考查形容词。句意:不管你的家是在闹市还是在偏远的农村。downtown为名词需要形容词修饰,故填noisy。
【5】考查连词。句意:如果你有一个屏幕,它可以接收到一个信号,你的思想仍然在同一个地方。结合上下文语境可知为承接关系,故填and。
【6】考查定语从句连接词。句意:当你盯着屏幕的时候,你的大脑会进入这个区域,你会觉得大脑停止思考了。本句为定语从句修饰先行词place,且先行词在从句中做地点状语,故填where。
【7】考查固定短语。句意:现在,你认识的每个人都在你的触手可及的范围内,把那种特定的心理感受带离与人交往。固定短语within arm’s reach“伸手可及的范围内”,故填within。
【8】考查物主代词。句意:你每时每刻都能看到他们,几乎能听到他们的每一个想法,就像他们听到你的一样。此处做hear的宾语需要用名词性物主代词,故填yours。
【9】考查固定短语。句意:总之,现代技术是一把双刃剑。固定短语in conclusion“总之”,故填conclusion。
【10】考查副词。句意:它们确实有自己的优势,但它们可以彻底改变我们的生活。修饰动词change应用副词形式,故填completely。
定语从句的关系词的选择可考虑以下三点:
(1)一看先行词的意义,即分清先行词是指人、指物、时间、地点还是原因(如指物时不能用who或whom,指人时通常不用which等)
(2)二看关系词的句法功能,即分清关系词是担任什么句子成分,是作主语还是宾语、是作定语还是状语等(如作定语通常用whose,有时也用which;作状语要用when, where, why)
(3)三看定语从句的种类,即分清是限制性定语从句还是非限制性定语从句(如that和why通常不引导非限制性定语从句)
如第六小题,句意:当你盯着屏幕的时候,你的大脑会进入这个区域,你会觉得大脑停止思考了。本句为定语从句修饰先行词place,且先行词在从句中做地点状语,故填where。
