解析
本题主要考查对文章内容的理解以及词汇的运用。解题的关键在于结合上下文语境,分析每个空所需要表达的语义,从而选择合适的词汇进行填空。
- 第一空:根据“in the digital age, where people are physically present but mentally absorbed in their devices”可知,在数字时代人们身体在场但精神却沉浸在设备中,存在“被连接”却又“孤独”的悖论,所以应填“connected”。
- 第二空:这里要描述一种人们更专注于技术而非彼此的现象,“scenarios”或“situations”都有“场景”“情境”的意思,符合语境,故可填“scenarios”或“situations”。
- 第三空:前文提到人们更关注技术而非彼此,导致失去了真实的某种东西,“connection”表示“连接”,“interaction”表示“互动”,都能体现人与人之间真实的交流,所以可填“connection”或“interaction”。
- 第四空:“online connections”即在线连接,其优势通常是“便利”或“效率”,“convenience”意为“便利”,“efficiency”意为“效率”,因此可填“convenience”或“efficiency”。
- 第五空:与“depth”(深度)并列,描述面对面交流的特点,“nuance”表示“细微差别”,“richness”表示“丰富性”,都能体现面对面交流的优势,“nuance”更贴合原文,所以可填“nuance”或“richness”。
- 第六空:根据“such as reduced empathy, superficial communication, and diminished intimacy”可知,这种转变带来的是不好的后果,“negative”和“adverse”都有“负面的”“不利的”意思,所以应填“negative”或“adverse”。
- 第七空:结合语境,人们过度依赖数字技术会导致同理心减少,“empathy”意为“同理心”,故填“empathy”。
- 第八空:同样,过度使用数字技术会使亲密关系减少,“intimacy”意为“亲密关系”,所以填“intimacy”。
- 第九空:根据“for meaningful dialogue, encouraging a reassessment of our reliance on digital technology”可知,要重新评估对数字技术的依赖,需要指定“无设备时间”,“device - free time”符合要求,所以填“device - free time”。
