The New York Times published an article recently that shows great regret for the “death of conversation”. It  1 that while technology such as cell phones, e-mails, and Internet posting makes us feel more  2 than ever, they’re also driving us away from people around us.

    Users get final connectivity at the price of  3 face-to-face conversation. Sherry Turkle, author of the article in The New York Times says people are  4 to a different way of being “alone together”.

    Actually,  5 text messages or writing micro-blogs allows us to  6 thoughts. But bits and pieces of online cannot  7 a “real conversation.” Lan Guo, 19, a freshman English major from Changsha University, said that she would like to hear people’s tone of voice and see their faces in a (n)  8 . “The give and take of ideas in a conversation sharpens our minds.” she said. She also mentions that burying ourselves in mobile technology reduces our chance of starting conversations with strangers and  9 people.

Turkle mentioned the popular  10 of “I share, therefore I am” among this generation. Liu Xuan, a young writer from Taiwan and psychology graduate from Harvard University, thinks it’s a mindset adopted by most  11 people. They are so busy creating or polishing their online persona (网络人格) that they forget how to live a (n)  12 life.

However, experts remind us that it’s  13 to blame mobile technology. Chen Chen, a sociology expert at China Youth & Children Research Center,  14 out that it is still owners of gadgets, who’re avoiding personal contact. “Only by strengthening conversation can we understand each other.  15 throwing away the mobile gadgets is not a solution.” she said.

认真阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从36—55各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

When I was a law professor, a student reported that I made an error in grading his exam by giving him too many points. He was ___36___ and after thanking him for his honesty, I changed the grade in my ___37___. His beaming (欢笑的) face turned to shock. “You’re  38 my grade?” he said angrily. “I would never have come in ___39___ ……”

He didn’t finish the ___40___, but it was obvious that his display of honesty was ___41___. He thought he’d have it all—praise and the higher grade.

Several colleagues thought I should have let the higher grade ___42___ because all I’d accomplished was to discourage him from being ___43___ in the future. And every time I tell this story, some people agree with this ___44___.

  But I can’t see how I could give good reason for worsening my ___45___ in grading by undermining (损害) the honesty of all my grades by failing to ___46___ an error. The grade itself would be a dishonest ___47___ of his knowledge and it would have been ___48___to other students. How could I ___49___ give a student a gift of an unearned grade?

  I know ___50___ reporting an error in one’s favor is unusual, but, like ___51___ too much change, it’s clearly the right thing to do. People of character, those with real honesty, hate to give up ___52___ as much as anyone else. The difference is that for them a good conscience and reputation is ___53___enough to give reason for the cost of doing the right thing.

  Perhaps lowering the student’s grade did ___54___ him from being honest in the future, but bribing (贿赂) him to be honest so that he does the right thing when it’s cost-free would have ___55___him even more. The duty to be honest is about right and wrong, not risks and rewards.

36. A. wise             B. right             C. rigid             D. angry

37. A. files              B. books        C. records          D. notes

38. A. lowering          B. correcting         C. changing         D. making

39. A. whether           B.which            C. what            D. if

40. A. sentence          B. work            C. exam            D. lesson

41. A. good B. false             C. special D. impressive

42. A. move             B. change           C. stand            D. drop

44. A. remark            B. complaint         C. praise        D. achievement

45. A. crime            B. mistake          C. doubt            D. guilt

46. A. make             B. find             C. correct           D. avoid

47. A. reaction           B. sense            C. sign D. reflection

48. A. unfair            B. cruel            C. tough            D. funny
