高一英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析
The number of devices you can talk to is multiplying-first it was your phone, then your car, and now you can boss around your appliances. Children are likely to grow up thinking everything is sentient(有感觉能力的,有知觉的), or at least interactive: One app developer told The Washington Post that after interacting with Amazon’s Alexa, his kid started talking to coasters. But even without chatty gadgets, research suggests that under certain circumstances, people anthropomorphize everyday products.
We personify things because we’re lonely. In one experiment, people who reported feeling isolated were more likely than others to give free will and consciousness to various devices. In turn, feeling attached to objects can reduce loneliness. When college students were reminded of a time they’d been excluded socially, they made up by lying abut their number of friend on social networks- unless they were first given tasks that caused them to interact with their phone as if it had human qualities. The phone apparently stood in for real friends.
When we personify products, they become harder to cast off. After being asked to evaluate their car’s personality, people were less likely to say they are intended to replace it soon. And anthropomorphizing objects is associated with a tendency to accumulate.
So how do people assign characteristics to an object? In part, we rely on looks. On humans, wide faces are associated 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 competitive situations. An analysis of car sales in Germany found that cars with grilles(格栅) that were upturned like smiles and headlights that were slanted(倾斜的) like narrowed eyes sold best. The purchasers saw these features as increasing a car’s friendliness and aggressiveness, respectively. It’s little wonder so many companies use mascots(吉祥物) to bring brands to life. An analysis of 1151 brand characters found symbols that were human or humanlike to be common.
Personifying products and brands can backfire, however. When a coffee maker was anthropomorphized in an ad (“I am Aroma” versus just “Aroma”), consumers felt betrayed by increases in its price. Now that speech-enabled coffee makers are on the market, maybe the machines can sweet-talk their way back into consumers’ hearts.
1.The word “anthropomorphize” (in paragraph 1) most probably means ________.
A.think highly of something B.find a better way to rate something
C.see something as humans D.use something as often as possible
2.The writer mentions an analysis of car sales in Germany in order to ________.
A.show that friendliness is better received than aggressiveness
B.highlight that a symbol looking like a smile appeals more to people
C.explain why so many companies use mascots to promote their brands
D.illustrate that people will judge something according to its appearance
3.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.Consumers should know more about a product before it is on the market.
B.Products with a mascot are more likely to win consumers’ hearts.
C.Increases in a product’s price may be accepted with a good advertisement.
D.The personification of a product may not always work.

At 9:00 Dick Spivak’s bank telephoned and said his payment was late. ‘The check is in the post,’ Dick replied quickly. At 11:45 Dick left for a 12:00 meeting across town. Arriving late, he explained that traffic had been bad. That evening, Dick’s girlfriend wore a new dress. He hated it. ‘It looks just great on you,’ he said.
Three lies in one day! Yet Dick Spivak is just an ordinary man. Each time, he told himself that sometimes the truth causes too many problems. Most of us tell much the same white lies, harmless untruths that help to save trouble. How often do we tell white lies? It depends in part on our age, education, and even where we live. According to one U.S. study, women are more truthful than men, and honesty increases as we get older.
While most people use little white lies to make life easier, the majority of Americans care about honesty in both public and personal life. They say that people today are less honest than they were ten years ago. Although it is believed that things are getting worse, lying seems to be an age-old human problem. The French philosopher (哲学家) Vauvenarges, writing in the eighteenth century, touched on the truth when he wrote, ‘All men are born truthful and die liars (说谎者).’
1.When the writer says ‘Dick Spivak is just an ordinary man’, he means _________.
A. it is common that people tell white lies
B. Dick could do nothing about bad traffic
C. it is common that people move their payment to a later time
D. Dick found it hard to deal with everyday problems
2.According to the text, most Americans _________.
A. hate white lies B. believe white lies
C. consider others dishonest D. value honesty
3.Vauvenarges’ remark suggests (暗示) that _________.
A. lying is an age-old human problem
B. dishonesty increases as people get older
C. people were dishonest in the 18th century
D. it is social conditions that make people tell lies
