题目内容

Since I was a child, I called my father my Kong, after King Kong. I believed that he was just as strong as the giant ape(猿猴). As he faced death, I did my best to help release him to the next life.

Two months after he passed away, my sister called to ask if I would like to go see Lisa Williams, a well-known witch(巫婆). I was familiar with Lisa from her show on Lifetime, and since I was eager to get a sign from my father, I agreed to go.

I took my father’s gold watch and listened as Lisa helped audience members communicate with their loved ones. “I have a grandfather-like figure with me and he is speaking about his granddaughter Jilly,” she announced. The audience was quiet; no one raised a hand. I nudged(用肘轻推) my sister and whispered to her that this was Dad ,for my third child and my father had a deep bond(关系,纽带) and he called her Jilly.

Although I sensed his presence, I wasn’t confident enough to raise my hand. I needed something a bit more concrete, something undoubted.

“This man is letting me know he had cancer,” she continued. I nudged my sister harder and assured her this was our father. Lisa went on to say that this person died in June (my father had died June 8th). There was swelling of the legs.

“Important information,” she called out. My heart beat fast . I jumped up when she asked, “Who is holding his watch?” I waved the watch in the air.

 “He wishes you congratulations.” My fourth child was born three weeks after my father died. I was in shock and could not believe I was getting a chance to hear from him, yet I knew our bond was strong enough that he could come to the world. She banged on her chest like an ape and apologized, saying, “I don’t know why but he wants me to do this like Tarzan.” It didn’t resonate(共鸣) with me until my sister called out “King Kong!” I was convinced. No way could this woman have ever known a detail unless Dad was communicating through her.

Each bit of information she gave us was just as meaningful. She ended our session by informing us that he would send us coins. The very next day I found six coins in various places; they seemed to have come out of nowhere. Even in death he is my Kong, and he remains important in my life.

In this age of ours, I find that almost all of my friends are becoming mere voices.

Not too long ago when friends came, they would fill half the drawing room and their voices would penetrate the four walls and disturb all the neighbors. Now they have all become, step by step, into invisible and untouched beings, whose tiny voices can only be heard by one ear through the telephone, no louder than the mosquitoes(蚊子).

Since this has become a necessary part of modern life, I too have learnt to live with this “ear language”. Many friends have become more distant because they are not very good at this way of communication(交流), others have become closer through ear language, and there are some friends I know by voice only. There is one particular voice friend I got to know through a very curious incident.

One day my telephone rang. When I lifted the receiver- a young lady’s voice informed me that she was phoning in answer to an advertisement for a night club program hostess. Obviously she had got the wrong number. The incident should have ended there and then. Actually, it was a sweet voice, only her poor imitation(模仿)of Hong Kong pronunciation and intonation got on my nerve and especially the “wa!” gave me the goose flesh. I told her that if I were the boss of the club, I wouldn’t give her a second thought because of her poor pronunciation. The young lady at the other end of the phone immediately came up with a surprising suggestion that, of course in her true local accent, she wanted to learn proper standard spoken Chinese speech from me, because she valued every chance very much. To my great surprise, we became “phone” friends. Every day, at the agreed time, she would ring me up and our “lesson” would begin. And she was tested and interviewed by a radio station in the south and got acceptd. She phoned me for the last time to thank me and to say good-bye. We had already formed a very deep “voice” friendship and have left deep unchangeable vocal(听觉的) impressions in each other’s mind. Any sudden appearance of visual images(视觉印象), good or bad, could only be destructive.

56.The underlined word penetrate in the first paragraph means _____.

A.pass quickly by              B.force a way through 

C.hear accidentally       D.make a hole in

57.The passage suggests us that _____.

A.they would be friends forever

B.they would meet in the future

C.they hadn’t had and wouldn’t have any interview

D.the young lady was able to sing sweet songs in standard Chinese

58.We know from the passage that _____.

A.in modern times people get in touch less than before

B.young people enjoys getting together very much

C.people are more ready to help others

D.people can earn a lot of money in the night club

59.Which is wrong according to the passage?

A.The writer taught the young lady without pay.

B.The young lady can’t be a native of Beijing.

C.The writer is not fond of getting in touch with others

D.Neither of the two is ready to see each other.
