Question

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 in a company, “___5._”

【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。

【名师点睛】

在七选五阅读的时候，我们要对一个语段或语篇的分析，可以按以下步骤进行：

1.通读全文对文章进行快速浏览，寻找主题句，抓住文章结构及文章的写作内容。

在阅读过程中，要注意文章的开始与结束段落，尤其是文章的首段及末段末句，因为“开门见山”与“结尾总结”的写作方式为常见的写作方式，首段的末句一般是是全文的主题所在，说明本文将探讨哪些内容，并简要指出文章的写作思路，有时甚至会以提纲的形式进行呈现。首段的末句对于快速掌握文章的主题具有重要意义，如果它是文章的主题句，就可以使读者迅速明确文章情节将如何展开，并对文章的写作主题有了整体的了解。如果末句不是主题句，则需要继续寻找。这时，可以考虑文章的写作方式是否为“结尾总结”式，如两者均可排除，则需在文章中其他段落寻找主题句，但要注意，首段与末段的提示作用。

2.详读段落在短时间内，找出每段写作内容的关键词。明确各段的主题句或主旨大意。

文章正文部分通常分为若干小段落。各段落会根据整体文章写作主题展开，对文章主体进行的不同方面的描述。找出各个小段落中的关键词，明确其描述内容，为整体试题的解决做好铺垫。

3.定位选项明确各备选选项的含义，抓住其关键词语。

根据文章整体结构与具体内容，将选项填入文中，填写时尤为注意各选项中出现的句子衔接手段及句中的衔接标志词。在定位选项时，要特别注意空格上下段的写作内容，以及空格上段尾句和下段首句的结构和意义。将所选项放入空白处，看看是否与上下文构成语义及逻辑上的直接关系，是否符合该处语境。能否承接前后的写作线索。使文章无论内容还是衔接上都能做到通顺。

4.通读复检将所选答案代入文中，再次通读全文，重点考查逻辑关系和关联结构。

在完成选项定位后，应通读全文，检查文章内容是否完整，语义是否连贯合理、各段落内容是否紧扣主题，语篇结构是否通顺连贯、具有一致性、合乎逻辑，写作思路是否清晰明了，格式以及用语是否恰当贴切，从而判断选择的答案是否正确。同时，我们还应注意对相近选项的对比分析，个别干扰项由于与某个正确选项的内容相近具有很强的干扰性，这时就需要我们认真分析，仔细甄别，排除干扰，从而得出正确选项。

要特别注意，除非有充分的理由否定向前的选择，否则不要仓促更改。只要前两步投入了精力，动了脑筋，第一印象往往可信度很高。
