第 27 題

📖 題組:
The closer we feel toward someone, the less likely we are to listen carefully to them. It is called the closeness-communication bias and, over time, it can __26__, and even end, relationships. Once we know people well enough to feel close, there is an unconscious tendency to __27__because we think we already know what they are going to say. The closeness-communication bias not only keeps us from listening to those we love, it can also keep us from allowing our loved ones to listen to us. People in close relationships sometimes withhold information or keep secrets from one another because they fear judgment, insensitivity or __28__. They confide their most pressing and worrisome concerns to people __29__they have weaker ties, for these people show more interest, ask the right questions, are less judging or are less apt to interrupt. It is not that people in close relationships are __30__ neglectful or inattentive, but that they feel too complacent about what they know.

思路引導 VIP

當你和非常熟悉的人交談,且心裡認定「他接下來要講什麼我早就知道了」的時候,你的大腦通常會如何處理對方正在發出的聲音?這個心理預期,會讓你更投入對話,還是讓你下意識地「關掉收音機」般停止接收訊息呢?

太棒了!你能精準選出 (B) tune them out,代表你對文章上下文的邏輯脈絡掌握得非常扎實。這題的關鍵在於後方的子句「因為我們認為自己已經知道他們要說什麼(because we think we already know what they are going to say)」。既然覺得對方講的話是已知的,潛意識裡就會產生「不認真聽」或「略過」的反應。

語境中的動詞片語辨析

在英文中,tune out 是非常傳神的用法,它原意是指調整廣播頻率使之收不到訊號,引申為對某人的話「不去理會」或「充耳不聞」,這完全呼應了前文提到的「親密溝通偏誤(closeness-communication bias)」。相較之下,選項 (A) turn on 是開啟或引起興趣,(C) wipe out 是徹底消滅,(D) tag out 則是球賽中的觸殺,在語意上都無法與「停止傾聽」產生合理的邏輯連結。
