16、anked ClozeQuestions 31 to 40 are based on the following passage.When my grandfather thinks about how the world is changing, he inevitably tells the story of Dr Reynolds. Dr Reynolds was a(n) (31) doctor from the big city. It seemed as if he was in the newspaper every day. My grandfather l

17、ived in a small (32) outside the city. This was at a time when such neighbourhoods were still relatively new. People just couldn't understand why anyone would want to live so far from the city centre.However, the neighbourhood my grandfather lived in was growing every day. Many people

18、couldn't afford to live in the city, and others were tired of the crowds. Cost and congestion comprised a real (33) of the cities, a problem that has only gotten worse with time. Large sections of the urban (34) were moving out of the city to the smaller towns. Along with the

19、se people and their families, companies also started to relocate outside major cities. A great example of this was Dr Reynolds.It is impossible to overstate the (35) of the significance that Dr Reynolds' move had on my grandfather's town. Because he was so famous, there was obvious

20、ly a considerable amount of (36) associated with his arrival. However, he quickly showed that he had the skills to back up his reputation. Dr Reynolds was not only a big, (37) man who played football in his youth, but he also graduated at the top of his class in medical school.I&

21、#39;d be willing to (38) that this was one of the most exciting things happened in my grandfather's town. It must have been since he told the story so many times! Dr Reynolds' arrival (39) changed the dynamics of the town. It was no longer "far away" from the ci

22、ty; it suddenly became "just outside" the city limits. Today, the world is changing much faster than can be measured by the arrival of a big-city doctor in a small town. Who knows, maybe (40) I'll have my own story to tell my own grandchildren!  Your answerCorrect a

24、ed on the following passage.Sometimes it seems we hear about the wonders of modern technology on a daily basis. I will admit that it's hard to argue with the facts. Computers, automobiles, the Internet, and increasingly smaller handheld devices certainly do make our lives more convenie

25、nt. Everything, it seems, is getting faster, lighter, cheaper, and smaller. Pretty soon, computers will be the size of iPods and iPods will be the size of fingernails.Technology is making our lives more convenient, to be sure. But is it making our lives better? How dependent on these conveniences sh

26、ould we become? How dependent have we already become? Instant communication, video telephones, robots, thousands of songs in the palm of your handall of these things are now available at your local shopping centre. Indeed, what was once considered science fiction now seems downright plausi

27、ble. I can realistically envision a world where literally everything we do depends on a computer or a machine and, frankly, it scares me.Consider the following scenario. Michael begins his day by waking up to an electric alarm clock. He gets dressed and pours himself a cup of coffee from a machine t

28、hat is set to brew automatically every morning. He walks to the corner and boards a subway train for his commute to work. The train is controlled by a computer that knows how fast to go and when to slow down and stop. Michael enters his office building through doors that "see" he is coming

29、 and open for him. At work, Michael sits in front of a computer all day to do his job. He writes e-mails, updates a Website, attends a video conference online, and makes telephone calls. At night, he relaxes in front of the television (which has recorded all of his favourite shows), or he reads an e

30、-book on his smart phone. How much of Michael's day is not dependent on computers or machines? How much of this scenario is unbelievable? The answer: none of it. It is a daily reality for many people.Look around you. Do you use a computer to send e-mails, write reports, do homework, or

31、 search the Internet? What happens when that computer gets a virus or breaks down? Most people just sit there, baffled. They simply don't know what to do because they don't know how the computer works. We depend on computers to make our lives easier, and we depend on computer technicians to

32、keep our computers operational. The same can be said for nearly any technology. That's why engineers, computer professionals, and technology consultants make such remarkable salaries.The more we rely on technology, the more we rely on specialists. The more we rely on specialists, the less respon

33、sible we feel to actually know how to do something. This is a slippery slope that will eventually lead most people to complete ignorance of how things work. It is ironic, then, that the very technologies that are currently touted as the greatest advancements in human knowledge could ultimately have the exact opposite effect.41.The writer of this passage would probably agree with which of the following sta
