2019年12月大學(xué)英語六級閱讀選詞填空真題答案
Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension (40 minutes)
Section A
Directions: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.
Questions 26 to 35 are based on the following passage.
The number of devices you can talk to is multiplying—first it was your phone, then your car, and now you can tell your kitchen appliances what to do. But even without gadgets that understand our spoken commands, research suggests that, as bizarre as it sounds, under certain 26 , people regularly ascribe human traits to everyday objects.
Sometimes we see things as human because we are 27 . In one experiment, people who reported feeling isolated were more likely than others to attribute 28 to various gadgets. In turn, feeling close to objects can 29 loneliness. When college students were reminded of a time they had been 30 in a social setting, they compensated by exaggerating their number of friends—unless they were first given tasks that caused them to interact with their phone as if it had human qualities. According to the researchers, the participants' phones 31 substituted for real friends.
At other times, we personify products in an effort to understand them. One study found that three in four respondents yelled at their computer. Further, the more their computer gave them problems, the more likely the respondents were to report that it had its own “beliefs and 32 .”
So how do people assign traits to an object? In part, we rely on looks. On humans, wide faces are 33 with dominance. Similarly, people rated cars, clocks, and watches with wide faces as more dominant-looking than narrow-faced ones, and preferred them—especially in 34 situations. An analysis of car sales in Germany found that cars with gills (護柵) that were upturned like smiles sold best. The purchasers saw this 35 as increasing a car's friendliness.
A) alleviate I) desires

本次英語六級考試中的選詞填空難度適中,做的時候,同學(xué)們要推斷出所填單詞的詞性,還要注重上下文的邏輯關(guān)系,兩者結(jié)合,通過語境來做題。
【英語六級選詞填空答案】
26.[答案] E circumstances
[解析]:原句為under certain____,前半句主要講,研究者認為,即使gadgets(小工具,可指廚房電器,即使不認識也不影響解題)不理解我們的口語要求,在一定的___下,......此處只能填寫名詞,縱觀所有出現(xiàn)的名詞,consciousness意識,feature特點,desires欲望,只有under certain circumstances在一定的條件下這個固定搭配符合語義。
27.[答案]L lonely
[解析]:做此題要結(jié)合下句。我們把事物看作是人類的,因為我們___.接著后邊進行了實驗,研究了感覺到孤獨的人。此句isolate正式對上句內(nèi)容的補充。做表語的名詞和形容詞中,與isolated對應(yīng)的只有l(wèi)onely。
28.[答案]I desires
[解析]:短語attribute A to B,翻譯為把A與B聯(lián)系起來,感覺孤獨的人更容易把____與這些設(shè)備(gadgets)聯(lián)系起來呢?比較剩下的名詞,只有desires欲望,心愿更合適。
29.[答案]A alleviate
[解析]:詞句緊接著上句,反過來,與物體更加親近的人能夠___孤獨,根據(jù)上下意,應(yīng)該是更加不孤獨,而情態(tài)動詞can后邊只能填寫動詞原形,選項動詞原形只有alleviate和separate,所以減輕、緩解孤獨才更合適。
30.[答案]J excluded
[解析]:空前為they had been,所以空處可能為過去分詞表被動,或形容詞,而此句意為,當學(xué)生被提醒他們在社會中被___時, 他們會通過夸大朋友數(shù)量來進行(心理上)的彌補。上文講到孤獨,所以找一些物體來緩解孤獨,此處同樣講如果感到孤獨,就想辦法彌補。與孤獨相關(guān)的只有excluded被排斥,被排除。
31.[答案]B apparently
[解析]:研究者發(fā)現(xiàn),一些人的手機代替了他們真正的朋友。Substituted為動詞,此處只能填副詞,apparently是明顯地,顯然地;而spectacularly是壯觀地,引人注意地,在此句中只能填寫明顯地apparently。
32.[答案]H conscientiousness
[解析]:根據(jù)and并列,and前為名詞,所以此處也選名詞。而warrant根據(jù),證明與consciousness意識,與此處信念并列的只能是意識。
33.[答案]D associating
[解析]:前句為,我們依賴表情,在人類看來,寬臉龐與優(yōu)勢(dominance)____, 后句緊接著比較,說人們把寬臉看作是更具優(yōu)勢的表情。而be ____ with 適合此處的為形容詞,arrogant傲慢的,competitive競爭的,associated相關(guān)的,只有be associated with 與...相關(guān)為正確答案。
34.[答案]F competitive
[解析]:人們喜歡寬臉的事物,尤其是在____情況下。此處為形容詞,由于寬臉的事物讓人感覺更有支配性,有優(yōu)勢,所以在某種環(huán)境下更加喜歡寬臉的事物。比較所有形容詞,只有competitive合適。
35.[答案]K features
[解析]:上句講,帶有護柵的車賣的好,因為好像帶笑臉一樣。購物者把這個___看作是提升了車的友好的感覺。此處填寫名詞,最后只有feature,翻譯為“這個特點”,完全符合語義。
