Question

【题目】根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

People tend to become more personal and hide less of themselves when using email. Some Britain researchers have found in a recent study that there are good reasons for this.

The team of researchers asked 83 pairs of students, all strangers to each other, to solve a problem. They had to discuss this question: ___【1】___ The pairs of students had to talk over the problem either face to face or by computers. Dr. Johnson said, “They told their partners four times as much about themselves when they talked over the Internet as when they talked face to face. When the computers were fitted with cameras so that students could see each other, this limited the personal side of the conversation.”

___【2】__ It was mainly about things such as where they went to school, or where they used to live. But some students discussed their love stories, and personal childhood experiences. Dr. Johnson believes that emailing encourages people to focus on themselves. _【3】_ “If you cannot see other person, it becomes easier to talk about yourself. This is because you are not thinking what the other person is thinking of you. So emailing has become the modern way of talking,” said Dr. Johnson. ___【4】___ “In the 19th century people started to use the telegraph' to communicate. Now the same kind of thing has happened and people ended up speaking more freely.” Dr. Johnson thinks that emailers need to know about these effects of emailing, especially when they start work span>in a company, “___【5】_”

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】F

【2】C

【3】E

【4】B

【5】G

【解析】

试题分析：本文属于说明文阅读，告诉我们当人们在没有被别人注意的情况下，例如在电脑里发邮件的时候，我们更容易谈论一些私人的话题。

【1】F 根据横线前面一句They had to discuss this question他们不得不讨论一个问题。那么冒号后面就应该是这个问题的内容，选项中只有F项是一个问题，其余的都是陈述句。故F项符合上下文。

【2】C 根据横线后一句It was mainly about things such as where they went to school, or where they used to live.可知他们的对话中谈论的是去那里上学或者过去住在哪里。这些是一些常见的问题，不能算是很私人的问题。故C项“Generally, the information was not extremely personal.”符合上下文串联。

【3】E 根据横线后依旧If you cannot see other person, it becomes easier to talk about yourself.可知如果相互看不对方，我们很容易就会谈起自己的情况，就不会更开放一点，谈话的内容也会更加隐私一点。和E项“And when they do this, they become more open, especially if there are no cameras.尤其是没有相机的情况下，当他们会更加开放一点。”一致。

【4】B 根据横线后一句In the 19th century people started to use the telegraph' to communicate.可知在19世纪人们就开始了这样的交流。说明这种交流方式并不新颖。所以B项“However, this style of talking is not entirely new. ”与上下文一致。

【5】G 根据横线前一句Dr. Johnson thinks that emailers need to know about these effects of emailing, especially when they start work in a company约翰逊博士说发邮件的人需要知道这一段，尤其是当他们开始在公司里上班的时候。他们要知道在发邮件的时候，人们更容易地谈论一些私人问题。如果不注意，你会发现你自己不知不觉地说了很多关于自己的事情。故G项符合上下文串联。
