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.
