Question

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。

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】_”

C. Generally, the information was not extremely personal.

【4】B

【5】G

【解析】

試題分析：本文屬于說明文閱讀，告訴我們當人們在沒有被別人注意的情況下，例如在電腦里發(fā)郵件的時候，我們更容易談論一些私人的話題。

【1】F 根據(jù)橫線前面一句They had to discuss this question他們不得不討論一個問題。那么冒號后面就應該是這個問題的內(nèi)容，選項中只有F項是一個問題，其余的都是陳述句。故F項符合上下文。

【2】C 根據(jù)橫線后一句It was mainly about things such as where they went to school, or where they used to live.可知他們的對話中談論的是去那里上學或者過去住在哪里。這些是一些常見的問題，不能算是很私人的問題。故C項“Generally, the information was not extremely personal.”符合上下文串聯(lián)。

【3】E 根據(jù)橫線后依舊If you cannot see other person, it becomes easier to talk about yourself.可知如果相互看不對方，我們很容易就會談起自己的情況，就不會更開放一點，談話的內(nèi)容也會更加隱私一點。和E項“And when they do this, they become more open, especially if there are no cameras.尤其是沒有相機的情況下，當他們會更加開放一點。”一致。

【4】B 根據(jù)橫線后一句In the 19th century people started to use the telegraph' to communicate.可知在19世紀人們就開始了這樣的交流。說明這種交流方式并不新穎。所以B項“However, this style of talking is not entirely new. ”與上下文一致。

【5】G 根據(jù)橫線前一句Dr. Johnson thinks that emailers need to know about these effects of emailing, especially when they start work in a company約翰遜博士說發(fā)郵件的人需要知道這一段，尤其是當他們開始在公司里上班的時候。他們要知道在發(fā)郵件的時候，人們更容易地談論一些私人問題。如果不注意，你會發(fā)現(xiàn)你自己不知不覺地說了很多關(guān)于自己的事情。故G項符合上下文串聯(lián)。
