解析 根据上文“I am a journalist in America.”及下一句“...someone who has recently switched banks，or who is ____ cancer，or who owns both a Chevy pickup and Toyota sedan.”可知，作为记者，作者要经常采访报道某些特别的人，故选particular。
小题2: A
解析 根据句意及上下文可知，作者会采访某个正在与癌症病魔斗争的人，故选battle表示“搏斗，斗争”。其余三项与语境不符。
小题3: B
解析 根据语境，作为记者，作者要经常采访某些特别的人，当遇到困难时，肯定会打电话向哥哥求助，故选call。
小题4: D
解析 根据文章内容可知，正是由于哥哥从不上网，才同周围的人接触频繁，从而认识了各种各样的人。
小题5: C
解析 由上文的“...he is offline.”可知，哥哥从不上网而非不常上网，never符合语境。
小题6: A
解析 根据语境及句意可知，既然哥哥不上网，自然没有电子邮件系统来分散他购物时的注意力，故选divide分散，分开。
小题7: B
解析 根据上下文及语境可知，既然没有电子邮件系统来分散他购物时的注意力，那自然有可能结识一两个朋友，likely符合语境。
小题8: D
解析 根据常识可知，购物后要结账离开，故用check out结账离开。settle down安下心来，定居；use up消耗掉，用完；set off动身，启程，出发，均不符合语境。
小题9: A
解析 结合上下文可知此处表示哥哥遇到困难时常寻求邻居的帮助和建议。advice最符合语境。
小题10: C
解析 由后文的“...health problems，banking habits and newcar ____.”可知，在喝过酒后，哥哥会仔细听邻居们谈论这些话题。talk最合文意。
小题11: B
解析 根据语境，邻居们酒后谈论的更可能是购买新车，故选purchase。
小题12: C
解析 由作者哥哥的话可知，他不理解人们不是相互交谈而是发电子邮件这种现象。imagine想象；predict预测；recommend建议，均不符合语境。
小题13: C
解析 四个选项中只有same能表现出哥哥对使用因特网的这些人的不理解。
小题14: D
解析 根据后半句“...the Internet ____ are making him more so，too.”可知此处意为：我哥哥总是认为自己是个过时守旧的人。always最符合语境。
小题15: B
解析 根据上下文可知，互联网用户迅猛增加的这一趋势使作者的哥哥更落伍了，故选trend。
小题16: A
解析 根据第三段前两句“...he is offline.At age 52，he’s ____ sent an email，surfed the Web or bought anything online.”可知，作者的哥哥从不上网，故stranger局外人，外行，符合语境。
小题17: C
解析 结合全文可知，作者的哥哥属于全国正在迅速减少的少数人中的一员，故选minority少数。
小题18: A
解析 结合下文“...to 59% of adult Americans from just over 50%...”可知，互联网用户比例缓慢增加。
小题19: D
解析 空格前后内容是转折关系，but符合语境。
小题20: B
解析 根据句意“以那样的速度，不使用互联网的美国人在十年后将不会存在了。”可知，exist符合语境。
