There we were walking and talking on a beautiful sunny day and. I became invisible, absent from the conversation. The telephone used to connect you to the absent. Now it makes people sitting next to you feel absent. Why is it that the more connected we get, the more disconnected I feel? Every advance in communications technology is a tragedy to the closeness of human interaction（互动）. With email 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 everreaching anyone. If my mom has a question, I just leave the answer on her machine.As almost every contact we can imagine between human beings gets automated（自动化）, thealienation index（疏远指数）goes up. You cant even call a person to get the phone number ofanother person any more. Directory assistance is almost always fully automated.I am not against modern technology. I own a cell phone, an ATM card, a voice mail system, and an email account. Giving them up isnt wise. theyre a great help to us. Its some of theirpossible consequences that make me feel uneasy.More and more. I find myself hiding behind email to do a job meant for conversation. Or being relieved that voice mail picked up because I didnt really have time to talk. The industrydevoted to helping me keep in touch is making me lonelier .or at least facilitating my antisocialinstincts. So Ive put myself on technology restriction: no instant messaging with people who live nearme, no cell phoning in the presence of friends, no letting the voice mail pick up when Im at home.57. Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?A. The Advance of Communications Technology B. The Consequences of modern TechnologyC. The Story of Communications RevolutionD. The Automation of Modern Communications58. The sentence “Now it makes people sitting next to you feel absent” means that _.A. the people sitting beside you have to go away to receive a phone callB. you can hardly get in touch with the people sitting beside youC. modern technology makes it hard for people to have a face-to-face talkD. people can now go to work without going to the office59. The writer feels that the use of modern communications is _.A. satisfying B. encouraging C. disappointing D. embarrassing60. The passage implies that _.A. modern technology is bridging the people B. modern technology is separating the peopleC. modern technology is developing too fastD. modern technology is interrupting our communication第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从下框的A-F选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项。 选项中有一项为多余选项。A.
