In our contemporary culture, the prospect of communicating with – or even looking at – a stranger is virtually unbearable. Everyone around us seems to agree by the way they cling to their phones, even without a __1__ on a subway.
It’s a sad reality – our desire to avoid interacting with other human beings – because there’s __2__ to be gained from talking to the stranger standing by you. But you wouldn’t know it, __3__ into your phone. This universal protection sends the __4__ : “Please don’t approach me.”
What is it that makes us feel we need to hide __5__ our screens? One answer is fear, according to Jon Wortmann, an executive mental coach. We fear rejection, or that our innocent social advances will be __6__ as “weird.” We fear we’ll be __7__ . We fear we’ll be disruptive.
Strangers are inherently __8__ to us, so we are more likely to feel __9__ when communicating with them compared with our friends and acquaintances.

1第 1 题
答案A
解析原文写人们即使在地铁上也紧抓手机，即便没有“signal”（信号）也要看手机，强调无信号仍不交流。A 项符合语境：没有来电或消息仍低头玩手机。B permit 许可、C ticket 车票、D record 记录均无法与 cling to phones 构成“无必要仍不抬头”的逻辑。
-
2第 2 题
答案D
解析后文强调与陌生人交谈有收获，故“there’s much to be gained”。D much 与 sad reality 形成对照：回避交流令人遗憾，正因可获益甚多。A nothing、B little 与作者立场相反；C another 语义不通，无法修饰 to be gained。
-
3第 3 题
答案B
解析“plugged into your phone” 表示耳机或注意力完全接入手机，因而察觉不到交谈的好处。B plugged 搭配 into 表沉浸其中。A beaten into 遭殴打、C guided into 被引导、D brought into 被带入均不形容埋头看手机的状态。
-
4第 4 题
答案A
解析低头玩手机这一“universal protection”向外传递“请勿靠近”的信息。A message 最贴切。B code 密码/代码、C notice 通知告示、D sign 标志/迹象，不如 message 直接对应那句引语所发送的内容。
-
5第 5 题
答案C
解析hide behind our screens 为固定意象：躲在屏幕后面。C behind 正确。A under 在下方、B beyond 超出、D from 从……躲开，均不如 behind 表示以屏幕为屏障回避面对面接触。
-
6第 6 题
答案B
解析担心善意社交被当成“weird”，即被误解。B misinterpreted 符合。A misapplied 误用、C misadjusted 调校不当、D mismatched 不匹配，均不表示对社交举动的错误解读。
-
7第 7 题
答案A
解析与 fear rejection、被当成怪异并列，还怕被人评头论足。A judged 被评判。B fired 解雇、C replaced 取代、D delayed 耽搁，与地铁陌生人场景无关。
-
8第 8 题
答案D
解析生人“inherently unfamiliar”，故更易不安。D unfamiliar 与后文 compared with friends 对照。A unreasonable 不讲理、B ungrateful 忘恩、C unconventional 非传统，均非生人固有属性。
-
9第 9 题
答案C
解析因不熟悉而更可能感到 anxious（不安），才要躲进手机。C 与 uneasiness、security blanket 呼应。A comfortable、B confident 与回避逻辑相反；D angry 原文未提愤怒。
-
10第 10 题
答案B
解析为回避不适，我们 turn to phones（求助于手机）。B turn to 固定搭配。A attend to 照料、C take to 喜欢上、D point to 指向，均不能表示把手机当避风港。
-
11第 11 题
答案A
解析手机是“happy glasses”，挡住我们以为会更危险的东西。A dangerous 对应 perceived threat。B mysterious 神秘、C violent 暴力、D boring 无聊，不如 dangerous 衔接恐惧与保护。
-
12第 12 题
答案C
解析撕掉创可贴、收起手机抬头后，“并不那么痛”。C hurt 与 band-aid 隐喻一致。A bend 弯曲、B resist 抵抗、D decay 腐烂，无法形容心理不适消退。
-
13第 13 题
答案C
解析实验要求乘客做“不可思议”之事：Start a conversation。C 与后文 talk to 一致。A lecture 讲座、B debate 辩论、D negotiation 谈判，对通勤偶遇过重。
-
14第 14 题
答案D
解析芝加哥火车通勤者与同行乘客交谈。D passengers 即 fellow commuters。A trainees 学员、B employees 雇员、C researchers 研究者，均非火车上的旅伴。
-
15第 15 题
答案C
解析请车站其他人预测与陌生人交谈后的感受。C predict 与 thought their … would be 一致。A reveal 揭示、B choose 选择、D design 设计，都不表示事先设想心情。
-
16第 16 题
答案D
解析通勤者以为独自坐着 ride 更愉快。D ride 指乘火车行程。A voyage 航海、B flight 飞行、C walk 步行，与 train commuters 不符。
-
17第 17 题
答案A
解析参与者完成实验后无人感到尴尬。A went through 经历/做完。B did away 废除、C caught up 赶上、D put up 搭建/忍受，均不能表示做完实验。
-
18第 18 题
答案B
解析出乎预料，这些通勤其实更愉快。B In fact 表事实转折。A In turn 反过来、C In particular 尤其、D In consequence 因此，不如 in fact 衔接“虽不期待却实际更好”。
-
19第 19 题
答案D
解析更愉快完全说得通，因为人靠社会联结兴旺。D since 表原因。A unless 除非、B whereas 而、C if 如果，都不能解释 makes absolute sense。
-
20第 20 题
答案B
解析结论就是这么简单：与陌生人交谈能让你感到联结。B simple 呼应 It’s that …。A funny 好笑、C logical 合逻辑（前文已说 sense）、D rare 罕见，均不如 simple 收束全文。
