第二节:完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)

I think the modern fountain (自来水) or ball-point pen is one of the greatest contributions ever made to  36   happiness.

Can you imagine what it was  37   in the past? When  38  wanted to write a letter, you had to go and find a bird’s  39   , cut it into a point, then keep  40   it into a small jar of ink. You had to keep  41   sharpening the point too because it  42  got blunt (钝的). Writing a simple thank-you letter must have been a main operation,  43   most of the morning or afternoon. Even it, however, was  44   than cutting words on stone with a chisel (凿子), or  45   them on clay ( 粘土) with a stick. Of course, some people  46   the typewriter these days,  47   is all right if you know  48   to type quickly. If you don’t, you spend  49   correcting mistakes and your letter  50   a terrible mess. It’s not very easy to carry a typewriter around with you  51   , and you certainly can’t put  52   in your pocket.

 53   we’ll soon all have  54   tape recorders and give up writing altogether. We’ll just send  55   to each other. But during the moment I think I’ll keep my ballpoint pens and fountain pens.
