Last month his family had to move to an old house outside the city. It's farther from the post office and he has to get up early in the morning in order to catch the 6:30 train.

We took the bus from the suburb every early morning that summer 3 years ago. One of the passengers was a small 36 man who took the bus to the centre for senior citizens every morning. He walked with a stoop (佝偻) and a sad look on his face when he, with some difficulty, 37 the bus and sat down alone behind the driver. No one ever paid very much attention to him.
Then one 38 morning he said good morning to the driver and smiled before he sat down. The driver 39 guardedly. The rest of us were silent. The next day, the old man boarded the bus energetically, 40 and said in a loud voice: “And a very good morning to you all!” Some of us looked up, amazed, and murmured “Good morning,” 41 . The following weeks we were more alert (留意的). Our friend was now dressed in a nice old suit and a wide out-of-date 42 . The thin hair had been carefully combed. He said good morning to us every day and we 43 began to nod and talk to each other.
One morning he had a bunch of wild flowers in his hand. The driver 44 smilingly and asked:“Have you got yourself a girlfriend, Charlie?”and he nodded shyly and said yes. The other passengers 45 and clapped at him. Charlie bowed and waved the 46 before he sat down on his seat. Every morning after that Charlie always brought a flower. Some of the 47 passengers began bringing him flowers for his bouquet(花束).
The summer went by, and 48 was closing in, when one morning Charlie wasn't waiting at his usual 49 . When he wasn't there the next day and the day after that, we started wondering if he was sick or — 50 — on holiday somewhere.

科目:高中英语 来源:2011-2012学年江西省白鹭洲中学高二下学期第三次月考英语试卷(带解析) 题型:阅读理解
After too long on the Net, even a phone call can be a shock. My boyfriend’s Liverpudlian accent suddenly becomes too difficult to understand after his clear words on screen; a secretary’s tone seems more rejecting than I’d imagined it would be. Time itself becomes fluid—hours become minutes, and alternately seconds stretch into days. Weekends, once a highlight of my week, are now just two ordinary days.
For the last three years, since I stopped working as a producer for Charlie Rose, I have done much of my work as a tele-commuter. I submit(提交) articles and edit them by E-mail and communicate with colleagues on Internet mailing lists. My boyfriend lives in England; so much of our relationship is computer-mediated.
If I desired, I could stay inside for weeks without wanting anything. I can order food, and manage my money, love and work. In fact, at times I have spent as long as three weeks alone at home, going out only to get mail and buy newspapers and groceries. I watched most of the blizzard(暴风雪) of ’96 on TV.
But after a while, life itself begins to feel unreal. I start to feel as though I’ve merged(融合) with my machines, taking data in, spitting them back out, just another node(波节) on the Net. Others on line report the same symptoms. We start to strongly dislike the outside forms of socializing. It’s like attending an A. A. meeting in a bar with everyone holding a half-sipped drink. We have become the Net opponents’ worst nightmare.
What first seemed like a luxury, crawling from bed to computer, not worrying about hair, and clothes and face, has become an avoidance(逃避),a lack of discipline. And once you start replacing real human contact with cyber interaction, coming back out of the cave can be quite difficult.
At times, I turn on the television and just leave it to chatter in the background, something that I’d never done previously. The voices of the programs relax me, but then I’m jarred by the commercials. I find myself sucked in by soap operas, or needing to keep up with the latest news and the weather. “Dateline”, “Frontline” , “Nightline,” CNN, every possible angle of every story over and over and over, even when they are of no possible use to me. Work moves from foreground to background.
【小题1】Compared to the clear words of her boyfriend on screen, his accent becomes______.
A.unreal | B.unbearable |
C.misleading | D.not understandable |
A.the same city | B.the same country |
C.different countries | D.different cities in England |
A.Having worked on the computer for too long, she became a bit strange. |
B.Sometimes TV programs give her comfort and even makes her forget her work. |
C.She watches TV a lot in order to keep up with the latest news and the weather. |
D.She turns on TV now and then in order to get some valuable information. |
A.At first she likes it but later becomes tired of it. |
B.She likes it because it is very convenient. |
C.She dislikes it because TV is more attractive. |
D.She likes it because it provides an imaginary world. |
A.going back to the dreaming world |
B.coming back home from the outside world |
C.bringing back direct human contact |
D.getting away from living a strange life |
