Where we live, on the eastern shore of Maryland, the gentle waters run in and out like fingers slimming at the tips.

The Canada geese know this place, as do the white swans and ducks. In the autumn, they come home for the winter. Once or twice each year, snow and frozen rain move into the area. When this happens, if the river is at its narrowest, there is a freeze which hardens the water to the ice.

One morning, a friend of mine set the breakfast table beside the huge window, which overlooked the Tred Avon River. Suddenly she leaned forward and cried out, “There is a goose out

there.”

We saw the figure of a large Canada goose, very iii, its wings folded tight to its sides, its feet frozen to the ice.

Then from the dark sky, she saw a line of swans. They floated from the top of the sky downward and at last landed on the ice. My friend was on her feet now, with one unbelieving hand against her mouth. As the swans surrounded the frozen goose, she feared what life it still had might be pecked(啄)out by those great swan beaks.

Instead, those beaks began to work on the ice. The long necks were lifted and curved down, again and again. It went on for a long time. At last, the goose’s head lifted. Its body pulled. Then the goose was free and standing on the ice. And the swans stood in the air watching. Then, as if it had cried, “I cannot fly,” four of the swans came down around it. Their powerful beaks chipped off the ice and held in the feathers. Slowly, the goose spread its wings as far as they could go, and moved slowly into the sky.

This is a true story. I just think of it in the bad moments, and from it comes only one hopeful question:“ If so for birds, why not for man?”

    C. the Canada goose wouldn’t identify with the swans

    D. the swans would peck the Canada goose to death

3.What did the swans do when they saw the Canada goose couldn’t fly?

    A. They chipped off the ice held in its feathers.

    B. They waited patiently for the ice held in its feathers to melt.

    C. They came down and lifted it up to the sky together.

    D. They stayed with it and protected it.

4.What would probably happen to the author’s friend in the end?

    A. She stood there, watching attentively, still feeling a bit worried.

    B. She was on her feet, laughing at the swans and the Canada goose.

    C. She was embarrassed and went on with her breakfast silently.

    D. She stood there quietly, not realizing tears had come down her cheeks.

阅读下面的短文,并根据短文后的要求答题(请注意问题后的字数要求)。

[1] 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. But I became invisible, absent from the conversation.

[2] The telephone used to connect you to the absent. Now it makes people sitting next to you feel absent. Recently I was in a car with three friends. The driver told us to be quiet because he could not hear the person on the other end of his cell phone. There we were, four friends going down the highway, unable to talk to one another because of a tool designed to make communication easier.

[3]Why is it that the more connected we get, ________________________ ? Every advance in communications technology is a hurt to the closeness of human interaction (互动). With e-mail 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.

[4] More and more, l find myself hiding behind e-mail to do a job meant for conversation. Or being relieved that voice mail picked up because I didn’t really have time to talk. The industry devoted to helping me keep in touch is making me lonelier.

 [5] So I've put myself on technology restriction: no instant messaging with people who live near me, no cell-phoning in the presence of friends, no letting the voice mail pick up when I' m home.

1. What does the author say about communications technology according to the first two paragraphs? (within 15 words)

_________________________________________________________________________

2.Which sentences in the text is the closest in meaning to the following one?

However, I felt left out as if we were not conducting the conversation.

_________________________________________________________________________

3. Fill in the blanks in Paragraph 3 with proper words. (within 10 words)

_________________________________________________________________________

4. Does the author restrict (约束) his own activity to improving the situation? Give an example. How?(within 15 words)

_________________________________________________________________________

5. Translate the underlined sentences in Paragraph 4 into Chinese.

________________________________________________________________________
