And they’ve never actually 41 you. Everything they know about you 42 through this device，sometimes from hundreds of miles away. 43 they feel they can know you 44 from the sound of your voice. That’s how powerful the 45 is.‎ Powerful，yes，but not always 46 .For years I dealt with my travel agent only by phone. Rani，my faceless agent whom I’d never met 47 ，got me rockbottom prices on airfares，cars，and hotels. But her cold voice really 48 me. I sometimes wished to 49 another agent.‎ One morning，I had to 50 an immediate flight home for a family emergency. I ran into Rani’s office 51 .The woman sitting at the desk， 52 my madness，sympathetically jumped up. She gave me a 53 smile，nodded while listening ‎ patiently，and then printed out the 54 immediately. “What a wonderful lady！” I thought.‎ Rushing out 55 I called out over my shoulder，“By the way，what’s your name？” “I’m Rani，” she said. I turned around and saw a 56 woman with a big smile on her face waving to wish me a safe trip. I was 57 ！Why had I thought she was cold? Rani was，well，so 58 .‎ Sitting back in the car on the way to the airport，I figured it all out. Rani’s 59 —her warm smile，her nods，her “I’m here for you” 60 —were all silent signals that didn’t travel through wires.‎ 语篇解读　这是一篇夹叙夹议类的文章。主要讲述的是作者在与Rani进行电话交流时发现她比较冷漠，但在后来的实际接触中却发现自己的看法完全是错误的，其实她非常友好。‎ ‎41.A. accepted B. noticed C. heard D. met 答案　D 解析　根据第一句话可知，许多人只是通过电话了解你，在现实中从来都没见过面。meet相见，符合语境。‎ ‎42.A. came B. moved C. ran D. developed 答案　A 解析　因为你们之间距离遥远，所以他们对你的了解来自电话。come from来自。‎ ‎43.A.

A .bill B. form C. ticket D. list 答案　C 解析　根据上下文可知，这里应该是机票。由于作者预订回家的航班机票，所以Rani很快帮他把机票打印出来。‎ ‎55.A. hopefully B. disappointedly C. gratefully D. regretfully 答案　C 解析　Rani如此迅速地帮作者把机票打印出来，而且一直面带微笑，这让他心存感激。hopefully充满希望地；disappointedly感到失望地；gratefully感激地；regretfully遗憾地。‎ ‎56.A. careful B. serious C. nervous D. pleasant 答案　D 解析　现实生活中的Rani富有同情心，待人热情大方。所以当作者转身时，看到的是与电话中完全不一样的人。careful细心的；serious严肃的，认真的；nervous紧张的；pleasant令人愉快的。‎ ‎57. A. amused B. worried C. helpless D. speechless 答案　D 解析　作者想到自己当初对Rani的错误判断，而眼前的Rani是那么热心，因此一时竟不知道该说什么了。speechless说不出话的，符合语境。‎ ‎58.
