問題詳情:
Hundreds of people have formed impressions of you through that little device(裝置)on your desk. And they’ve never actually 21 you. Everything they know about you 22 through this device, sometimes from hundreds of miles away. 23 they feel they can know you 24 from the sound of your voice. That’s how powerful the 25 is.
Powerful, yes, but not always 26 . For years I dealt with my travel agent only by phone. Rani, my faceless agent whom I’d never met 27 , got me rock-bottom prices on airfares, cars, and hotels. But her cold voice really 28 me. I sometimes wished to 29 another agent.
One morning, I had to 30 an immediate flight home for a family emergency. I ran into Rani’s office 31 . The woman sitting at the desk, 32 my madness, sympathetically jumped up. She gave me a 33 smile, nodded while listening patiently, and then printed out the 34 immediately. “What a wonderful lady!” I thought.
Rushing out 35 I called out over my shoulder, “By the way, what’s your name?” “I’m Rani,” she said. I turned around and saw a 36 woman with a big smile on her face waving to wish me a safe trip. I was 37 ! Why had I thought she was cold? Rani was, well, so 38 .
Sitting back in the car on the way to the airport, I figured it all out. Rani’s 39 ---her warm smile, her nods, her ‘I’m here for you’ 40 ---were all silent signals that didn’t travel through wires.

23.B 考查上下文串聯。雖然你們之間的距離很遠,但是他們只要通過你的聲音,就可以瞭解你。上下文之間是轉折關係,所以使用副詞yet串聯前後語義。故B正確。
24.C 考查副詞辨析。副詞rather相當地;also也;just只是;already已經;本句使用just表示強調,別人只要通過聲音就可以瞭解你。故C正確。
25.A 考查上下文串聯。根據26空後“only by phone”可知本文介紹的是電話,人們可以通過電話瞭解你。故A正確。
26.D 考查上下文串聯。形容詞direct直接的;useful有用的;easy容易的;accurate準確的;本空前的but說明上下文之間是轉折關係,電話雖然很強大,但是也並不是很準確。與ABC三項語義不搭配。故D正確。
27.A 考查介詞辨析。介詞in person親自,by myself靠自己;in public當眾;on purpose故意地;A項與空前的faceless形成呼應,Rain是代理人,但是我們從來沒有碰過面。故A正確。
28.A 考查上下文串聯。空前的cold voice可知Rani在電話裡的聲音很冷漠,和讓我很不高興,甚至想過要另外找一個代理人。說明我對他的聲音很反感。故A正確。
29.C 考查上下文串聯。動詞promote提拔;train訓練;find尋找,找到;know知道;正是因為Rani的聲音讓我很不舒服,所以我曾經想過另外找代理人取代他。故C正確。
33.B 考查形容詞辨析。形容詞shy害羞的;comforting安慰的;familiar熟悉的;forced被迫的;她看到我很著急,笑著安慰我。故B正確。
34.C 考查上下文串聯。根據30空可知我要預定回家的航班的機票,本句中Rani很快幫我把機票打印出來。故C正確。
35.C 考查上下文串聯。副詞hopefully充滿希望地;disappointedly感到失望地;gratefully感激地;regretfully遺憾地;對方如此迅速地幫我把機票打印出來,而且一直面帶微笑,這讓我心存感激。故C項正確。
36.D 考查上下文串聯。形容詞careful細心的;serious嚴肅的,認真的;nervous緊張的;pleasant令人愉快的;現實生活中的Rani富有同情心,待人熱情大方。是一個令人愉快的相處物件。所以當我轉身時,看見的是與電話中完全不一樣的Rani。故D項正確。
37.D 考查上下文串聯。現實生活中的她是如此的體貼大方,而我之前卻認為她很冷漠,甚至有了要另找代理的想法,我真是無話可說。說明電話中得到的印象有時很不準確。故D項正確。
38.B 考查上下文串聯。在文章28空前“cold”以及前句“ was cold”之前我因為Rani很冷漠,但卻沒有想到實際生活中的Rani是如此的美好善良。故B項正確。
39.C 考查名詞辨析。名詞forgiveness諒解;eagerness急切;friendliness友好;skillfulness熟練;從52-54空內容可知Rani對我非常友好善良,並沒有電話中的那種冷漠的感覺。故C項正確。
40.B 考查名詞辨析。名詞explanation解釋;attitude態度;concept概念;behavior行為;Rani的善良友好的態度並沒有從電話線中傳遞過去。B項指Rani接待我的友好的態度。故B項正確。
