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 (反馈电路) 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(易受影响的) 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 这是一篇社会生活类文章.很多人都习惯检查一下自己新发的帖子得到了别人多少"like"or"thumb up"(即得到了多少人的关注),作者在文中分析了这种行为背后的原因,并且指出:想得到别人关注这很正常,但是,过于追求别人的关注将会产生不好的影响.
解答 56.whether 考察连接词.根据句意可知,whether引导一个宾语从句,以为"是否".
57 be embarrassed 考察词性变换.might为情态动词后用动词原形,指人感到尴尬,用embarrassed.
58 completely 考察副词.此处用来修饰形容词形式需要用副词.
59 that 考察代词.句子里that为代词,代指前文提到的 pleasure.
60 on 考察介词.在社交网站上,on…network.
61 strangers 考察名词.根据句意此处需要用名词形式.
62 many 考察形容词.固定短语as many+名词 as possible,以为尽可能多.
63 Feeling 考察现在分词.分析句式可知,此处是充当句子主语,故用动名词形式.
64 can/may/might 考察情态动词.表示猜测,用can/may/might.
65 less 考察形容词比较级.根据句意可知,如果一个人将注意力放在帮助人上,就不会受到负面情绪的影响.
点评 语法填空题是考查学生的语言运用能力.解题时,要在理解文章的基础上,灵活运用语法知识,如词性,时态,名词单复数,连接词,代词,冠词等判断空白处应填写的内容.答完后,还要通读全文,核对所填单词形式是否正确,是否符合语境.
