41、读】本文是一篇说明文。随着现代科技和通信技术的发展，人们虽然独处的日子多了，但并不是真的孤独，新科技反而让人们对团聚有了更新的认识。1B考查承上启下句。根据空前的“you might see many people eating by themselves.phones”及空后的“Do you worry theyre lonely”可知，空处应是有关“你”对所见之事的感受的，故B项“你同情他们吗？”符合语境。B项句子结构与空后句子结构的一致性亦是提示。2D考查细节支撑句。根据空后的答语“Maybe not”可知，空处应为问句。下文中解释了人们并不孤独，故D项“这是否意味着有许多孤独的人呢？”
42、符合语境。选项中的“lonely”与空前句中的“alone”相呼应。3F考查承上启下句。空前讲到现在许多年轻人在学习和工作上花费了更多的时间，空后说通过短信、邮件和社交媒体联系很正常，F项“他们很少有时间与朋友或家人聚在一起吃饭”是“communicate with others through texts，email and social media”的原因，且选项中的“less time”与前文的“more time”前后呼应，故F项符合语境。4A考查细节支撑句。根据空前Daniela Galarza所述她和家人及朋友的联系更加密切了可知，空处应与其感受有关。A项“我不再孤单”符合语境。5G考查细节支撑句。空前句讲到，如今，团聚更是一种感觉，而不是一种现实的状态，并且人们通过创新的方式与他人保持联系。由此可知，空处所在句应是对这一内容的延伸，故选G项(无论你用什么样的方式团聚，在一起的快乐从未改变)。
