My childhood and adolescence were a joyous outpouring of energy, an endless pursuit for expression, skill, and experience. 11 was only a background to the great delight of lessons in music, dance, and dramatics.

Then one night at a high school dance, a remark, not intended for my 12 , injured my youthful happiness: “That girl, what a pity she is blind.” Blind! A(n) 13 word that implied everything dark, blank and helpless. 14 I turned and called out, “Please don’t feel sorry for me, I’m having lots of fun.” 15 the fun was not to last.

In college years, I began to struggle with the problem of earning a living. Part-time teaching of piano and occasional giving concerts proved only 16 sources of economic support. In terms of time and effort involved, the financial return was 17 . Self-doubt and dark moods sparked within me. 18 to my misery was the repeated experience of knowing my sisters and friends dating excitedly. How 19 I was to my piano, 20 I could dissolve my frustration, accompanied by Chopin, Brahms, and Beethoven.

Then one day, I met a girl, an army nurse, whose faith was to change my life. As our acquaintance 21 into friendship, she sensed my 22 . She said, “Stop knocking on closed doors. I know your opportunity will come. You’re trying too hard. Why don’t you relax? And have you ever tried 23 ?” The idea was strange to me. I had always believed that if you wanted 24 , you had to go and get it for yourself. Yet, my sincerity and hard work had yielded poor returns, so I was 25 to try anything else. Self-consciously, I performed the daily practice of prayer. I said, “God, show me the 26 for which You sent me to this world.

In the years to follow, the answers began to arrive, satisfying 27 my most optimistic expectation. One of the answers was Enchanted Hills, where my 28 friend and I had the privilege of seeing blind children come alive in God’s out-of-doors. 29 are the sources of pleasure and comfort I have found in friendship, and most important of all, I 30 closer to God and, through Him, to immortality (永生).

第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分50分)

第一节 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在

答题卡上将该项涂黑。(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)

A

A funny thing happened on the way to the communication revolution: we stopped talking to one another.

I was walking in the park with a friend recently, and his cell phone rang, interrupting our conversation. There we were, walking and talking on a beautiful sunny day and suddenly, I became invisible, absent from the conversation.

The telephone used to connect you to the absent. Now it makes people sitting next to you feel absent. Why is it that the more connected we get, the more disconnected I feel? Every advance in communication technology is a tragedy to the closeness of human interaction. With email and instant messaging over the Internet, we can now communicate without seeing or talking to one another. With voice-mail, you can conduct entire conversations without ever reaching anyone. If my mom has a question, I just leave the answer on her machine.

As almost every contact we can imagine between human beings gets automated, the emotional distance index goes up. You can’t even call a person to get the phone number of another person any more. Directory assistance is almost always fully automated.

I am not against modern technology. I own a cell phone, an ATM card, a voice-mail system, and an email account. Giving them up isn’t wise. They’re a great help to us. It's some of their possible consequences that make me feel uneasy.

More and more, I find myself hiding behind e-mail to do a job meant for conversations or being relieved with voice-mail picking up because I don't really have time to talk. The industry devoted to helping me keep in touch is making me lonelier.

31. Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?

A. The Advance of Modern Technology

B. The Consequences of Communication Technology

C. The Story of Communication Revolution

D. The Automation of Modern Communication

32. Which is NOT TURE according to the passage?

A. The author has decided not to use his phone when he is with his friend.

B. Modern technology makes it hard for people to have a face-to-face talk.

C. The limited use of communication device brings much inconvenience to the author.

D. The industry intended to keep people in touch is taking them away from each other.

33. The writer feels that the use of modern communication is ______.

A. satisfying B. encouraging C. disappointing D. embarrassing

34. The passage implies that ______.

A. modern technology is bridging the people

B. modern technology is separating the people

C. modern technology is developing too fast

D. modern technology is interrupting people
