Answer

1.D

【详解】根据前文和后句信息，可知“我”在等饮料过程中发生后面的事。

2.B

【详解】转折连词but及前后句句意、还有34空后的那句“I realized that the people there were having a nice conversation with their machines, not with people”都说明“我”感觉到的是“loneliness”(孤独、寂寞)。

3.A

【详解】前后句为因果关系。I couldn’t feel their souls 是因为 their souls 全放在了电脑上。

4.C

【详解】后文多次提到 “computer”, “chatting online”, “playing a computer game”, “computer geek”等，说明本题该选net与之呼应。

5.C

【详解】前文 “I stood up and walked between the table.”提示该是坐在那儿聊天、打游戏。

6.A

【详解】后句 “He was chatting online and …he was playing a computer game---a war game.”说明他很忙。

7.C

【详解】一边聊天、一边打游戏，所以用at the same time (与此同时)。

8.A

【详解】下文 “Why didn’t Steve want to talk with me?”说明“我”惊讶。

9.B

【详解】呼应上段多次主动交谈。所以这里选 “再一次”

10.A

【详解】前后句转折关系。我多次主动和他交谈，但是他一句话不说。

11.D

【详解】呼应前文多次问询无果，以及后文采取的行动，说明“我”很不高兴。

12.C

【详解】根据上下文的情境，应用 “Leave me alone” “别打扰我，走开”。其余选项不当，“Shut up”“闭嘴”；“Enjoy yourself”“玩得好，过得愉快”；“Help me out”“帮帮我”。

13.D

【详解】呼应后半句 “and saw nobody showed any interest”，应为抬头看。

14.B

【详解】承上启下，“就在那时候，我发现他们在和机器（电脑）而不是和人进行很好的交流。”

15.A

【详解】前句 “I realized that the people there were having a nice conversation with their machines, not with people”与之照应，故选择A。

16.A

【详解】呼应全文信息。  他们更感兴趣的是人与电脑之间的关系而不是人与人之间的关系。

17.C

【详解】呼应全文，“我”发出感慨，无法想象人类的未来会怎样。

18.B

【详解】与本段的前两句照应。选择了和机器交流而不是和人交流。

19.D

【详解】“我”陷入了沉思，没有意识到coffee was bad，正如 Steve didn’t notice there was a person next to him。

20.B

【详解】前后句对应。正如“Steve”没有注意到边上有人。
