最新调查指出，人际关系正越来越被“人机关系”所取代，甚至有网友调侃:世界上最远的距离，是我在你面前，而你在低头看手机。根据以下要点用英语写一篇英文短文。1.描述这一现象2.分析其原因及弊端3.你认为该如何改变现状注意：1.词数120左右2.可适当增加细节，使行文连贯。参考词汇：1. qq 2. wechat (微信）参考答案完形填空1解析：根据第三段的“santiago，you know that we left our country and we are in a strange land”可知，作者一家是刚刚离开(left)自己的祖国古巴。答案：c2解析：根据第五段的inside was a shiny，brandnew train！可知，是一辆玩具火车。答案：d3解析：此处指玩具火车到拐弯处就自动响(sounding)喇叭。答案：a4解析：由上文的the.store had a shiny red train可知是玩具。答案：d5解析：根据上下文可知，对于当时作者一家的家庭状况而言，玩具是一种奢侈品，很难得到(get)。答案：b6解析：此处形象地写出了弟弟对玩具的渴望，整天脸贴着橱窗观看那个玩具火车。介词against的意思是“紧靠；倚”。答案：b7解析：父母看到自己的孩子非常喜欢这个玩具火车，而又无钱购买，内心感到无比伤痛。因此，这种伤痛是显而易见的(obvious)。答案：a8解析：根据上文的push his nose _6_ the glass in the window 可知弟弟脸上呈现出一种充满期望的(hopeful)神情。答案：b9解析：四岁的弟弟对玩具充满了渴望，“我”不忍心破坏(destroy)他的天真，于是对他撒了下文的谎言。答案：d10解析：作者试图让自己的弟弟相信：既然他们是刚到这儿，时间不长，或许圣诞老人还没有他们家的地址。前后句之间是因果关系。故选a。答案：a11解析：从文章最后一句santa found out address可知。答案：c12解析：此处作者说一旦自己一家定居(settled)到美国，圣诞老人会重新找到他们家的。答案：c13解析：此处指的是“我”对弟弟所做的解释(explanation)。答案：d14解析：根据下文的quickly learning english可知，“我”和弟弟已经上学，并在适应(adapting to)新的学校。答案：b15解析：根据上文的make ends meet可知，作者一家刚移居美国，也只是刚刚维持生计，因此这一年的圣诞节不会过得很奢华，因此选simple更适合作者一家的家庭状况。而根据下文的happy一词也可知不选depressing。答案：d16解析：对于作者而言，见到礼物，既惊奇又高兴(to my surprise and delight)。答案：d17解析：由下文的inside was a shiny，brandnew train！可知，弟弟拿到礼品盒后就打开了(opened)。答案：c18解析：从上下文可知，这个玩具火车与一年前弟弟所见到的那个非常相似(resembled)。答案：a19解析：收到心爱的玩具，弟弟的脸放出光彩。light up意为“容光焕发”。答案：c20解析：此处呼应文章第三段作者对弟弟所作出的解释，姐姐的话实现了，所以他说“你是正确的”。答案：b语法填空nelson
