【解析】由于数码科学技术的发展,独处的机会不复存在。尽管人们对现代科技持有不同的看法,但是没有科技的进步,我们的生活完全会是另一个样子。 (1)C 结合前面的“Inthe world of digital technology, email, social networking and online videogames”可知,信息是要“共享的”,故答案选C。update“使现代化,更新”;receive“收到”;share“分享”;collect“收集;使集合”。 (2)C 句意:独处一旦被放弃就很难再找到。though“尽管,虽然”;until“直到……;在……之前(用于否定句)”;once“一旦,一经……便……”;before“在……之前”。结合句意可知应选C。 (3)B 科学技术对文化产生影响,即:新技术塑造(shaped)了我们的文化,故选B。respect“尊敬,尊重”;shape“塑造,形成”;ignore“忽视,不理会”;preserve“保存,保护”。 (4)C 结合下文内容可知,现代科技无处不在,即使不想联系都已不可能,故此处应为“要联系的这种欲望已经结束了独处”。此处为固定搭配bring sth.to an end“使某事结束”,因此应选C。 (5)D 根据下一段的最后一句“Being reachable might feel like a...”可知应选D项。reachable“可达成的;可触及的”;sensitive“敏感的”;intelligent“聪明的”;considerate“周到的”。 (6)A 句意:人们已经处于一个网络与联系的世界里了,即使他们不想这样。此处为even if引导的让步状语从句。(7)B 根据常识可知,“email,chatand blog(写博客)”一般是在电脑(computers)上完成的,但是还可以通过手机进行。 (8)D 句意:大多数发达国家已经很依赖数字技术,仅仅是因为他们已经习惯了。dependent“依靠的,依赖的”,符合语境。 (9)B 和上句相对应,人们已经习惯了用数字技术,所以如果不用它,就将会使自己成为一个局外人。所以答案是B项。 (10)A 本句是对上句内容的递进:人们不仅仅是依赖数字技术,而且许多工作也要求人们要通过数字技术联系起来。故A项符合语境。 (11)A connect“联系,连接”;train“训练”;recommend“推荐”;interest“使感兴趣”。根据上题解析可知,A项符合语境。 (12)C 根据后文中的否定含义可知,这种依赖对于不想被联系的人来说是个负担。pleasure“乐趣,乐事”;benefit“好处,益处”;burden“负担”;disappointment“失望”。 (13)D 句意:独处对于那些真正(really)需要它的人来说,仍然是可能的。故D项符合语境。 (14)B 此处电脑关机和下文中的手机关机在语境上一致,故选B项。shut down computers“关闭电脑”。 (15)C 根据后文中的“as well as disadvantages”可得知答案为C项advantages。aspect“方面”;weakness“弱点”;advantage“优点,优势”;exception“例外,除外”。 (16)B 句意:当旅行者在山上迷路时,手机可以救无数人的性命。故B项lost符合语境。 (17)A 由后文中被迫接电话和发信息可知,手机也会使人们感到陷入困境(trapped)。excited“激动的,兴奋的”;confused“困惑的”;amused“愉悦的”。 (18)D 结合生活常识可以判断,此处意为:答复电话和回复短信。turn to“转向;求助于”;submit to“递交”;object to“反对,反抗”;reply to“回复,答复”。 (19)A 此处是对全文的总结,即:人们对于如此联系着的社会存在各种各样的观点。vary“使多样化;不同”;arise“引起;上升”;spread“展开;扩展”;exist“存在”。故选A项vary。 (20)D 此处是文章观点的升华,使用双重否定句突出主题,即:人们的生活离不开科技。beyond“在……之外”;within“在……范围内”;despite“尽管”;without“没有”。故D项符合语境。
