(10 points)　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 fiddle with their phones, even without a 　1　 underground.　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 armor 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, executive mental coach. We fear rejection, or that our innocent social advances will be 　6　 as “creepy”. 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.

选项 1. ______ A.ticket B.permit C.signal D.record
答案C
解析考查上下文逻辑关系。全文第一句即点明文章的主题：陌生人之间没有交流。接下来通过介绍大家玩弄自己的手机来举例证实此观点。由phone“手机”和underground“地铁”可知此处暗示“即使手机没有信号，人们依然盯着手机”，因此C项signal“信号”符合题意。A项ticket“票”和B项permit“通行证”虽与underground有关，但根据常识，人们必须有票或者通行证才能坐地铁，所以不符题意。D项record“记录”与文章内容无关
