　　1．A.updated

　　B．received

　　C．shared

　　D．collected

　　答案　C

　　解析　本段第一句話句意為：在這個數字世界，獨處幾乎是不存在的。所以本句表達的意思是有了電子郵件、社會網絡等這些通訊工具，信息意味著被互相分享(share)。update更新；receive得到，收到；collect收集。

　　2．A.though

　　B．until

　　C．once

　　D．before

　　答案　C

　　解析　一旦你放棄了獨處，那么就很難再找回來。此處用連詞once引導條件狀語從句，符合語境。though盡管，引導讓步狀語從句；until直到，引導時間狀語從句；before在……之前，引導時間狀語從句，均不符合上下文語境。

　　3．A.respected

　　B．shaped

　　C．ignored

　　D．preserved

　　答案　B

　　解析　新技術應是塑造(shape)而不是尊重(respect)、忽視(ignore)或保護(preserve)我們的文化。

　　4．A.edge

　　B．stage

　　C．end

　　D．balance

　　答案　C

　　解析　既然想與他人有聯系，那自然就會結束獨處的境地。bring sth.to an end使……結束，為固定表達。

　　5．A.sensitive

　　B．intelligent

　　C．considerate

　　D．reachable

　　答案　D

　　解析　在這個網絡相連的世界，找到一個人是如此容易。此處用reachable(可獲得的，可達到的)來表示人很容易被找到。sensitive敏感的；intelligent聰明的，有才智的；considerate體貼的，體諒的。

　　6．A.even if

　　B．only if

　　C．as if

　　D．if only

　　答案　A

　　解析　由空格前的one can often be contacted(一個人經常會被聯系到)與空格后的they’d rather not be可知，空格處應表示“即使，盡管”(even if)。

　　7．A.media

　　B．computers

　　C．databases

　　D．monitors

　　答案　B

　　解析　我們能交談、發短信、發電子郵件、聊天和寫博客，除了能用手機做到之外，當然就是電腦(computer)了。

　　8．A.bent

　　B．hard

　　C．keen

　　D．dependent

　　答案　D

　　解析　既然大多數發達國家習慣了這種數字技術，所以人們就變得依賴它們。become dependent on為固定搭配，意為“變得依賴/依靠”。

　　9．A.finding

　　B．using

　　C．protecting

　　D．changing

　　答案　B

　　解析　在這種情況下，不使用(using)數字技術則使他們顯得像旁觀者、局外人。本處為動名詞短語作主語。

　　10．A.Also

　　B．Instead

　　C．Otherwise

　　D．Somehow

　　答案　A

　　解析　除了上文提到的人們已經習慣了數字技術外，許多工作和職業也(also)需要人們互相聯系。

　　11．A.connected

　　B．trained

　　C．recommended D．interested

　　答案　A

　　解析　許多工作和職業也需要人們互相聯系(to be connected)。其他選項用在此處句意不通順。

　　12．A.pleasure

　　B．benefit

　　C．burden

　　D．disappointment

　　答案　C

　　解析　空格后提到的是那些不想被聯系到的人，所以being reachable對他們來說自然就是一種負擔(burden)。

　　13．A.slightly

　　B．hardly

　　C．merely

　　D．really

　　答案　D

　　解析　獨處仍然是可能的自然是對那些真正(really)想要獨處的人來說的。slightly稍微地，hardly幾乎不，merely僅僅。

　　14．A.out

　　B．down

　　C．up

　　D．in

　　答案　B

　　解析　想要獨處，可把電腦關掉，手機也可關掉。shut down關閉，符合語境。shut out不讓……進入；shut up住口；監禁；shut in把……關在房內。

　　15．A.aspects

　　B．weaknesses

　　C．advantages

　　D．exceptions

　　答案　C

　　解析　由空格后的關鍵詞as well as disadvantages可知，應填advantages(有利條件)。

　　16．A.hidden

　　B．lost

　　C．relaxed

　　D．deserted

　　答案　B

　　解析　游客們在山中迷路(lost)，正是手機救了他們的命。如果說是游客們藏(hidden)在或被拋棄(deserted)在山中，則不合常理。

　　17．A.trapped

　　B．excited

　　C．confused

　　D．amused

　　答案　A

　　解析　本段提到“被聯系上”既有有利條件又有不利條件，上句“手機救了很多人的命”是有利條件，此處指不利條件，當人們被逼無奈回電話或回復信息時，他們會感到陷入困境。trapped陷入困境的，受到限制的。

　　18．A.turn

　　B．submit

　　C．object

　　D．reply

　　答案　D

　　解析　由上題解析可知此處表示“回復信息”。reply to為固定搭配，意為“回復”。

　　19．A.vary

　　B．arise

　　C．spread

　　D．exist

　　答案　A

　　解析　根據后面的Some...Others...可知人們對待“被聯系”的態度不同。vary變化。

　　20．A.beyond

　　B．within

　　C．despite

　　D．without

　　答案　D

　　解析　此處表示盡管人們的態度不同，但是很難想象沒有(without)科技進步的生活會是什么樣子。
