2011考研英语完形填空模拟题12篇(4)

全文翻译

最近的一项民意测验显示：美国一半的青少年认为他们与父母的交流不好，而且造成这种隔阂的一个首要原因是有不理想的倾听行为。一个典型的例子是，一位母亲认为她女儿有严重的听力问题。她对此确信无疑，于是就带着女儿去听觉病矫治专家那儿检查她的耳朵。专家仔细检查了两只耳朵，然后告诉这位母亲说：“她的听力没问题，只是不理睬你而已。”

离婚率上升（一半以上的婚姻以离婚告终）的一个首要原因是夫妻间不能有效地交流。他们彼此充耳不闻。两人对对方发出的确切信息都毫无反应。

同样地，据政治科学家报道，越来越多的人相信他们选举指派的官员与其本应代表的选民失去了联系。为什么呢？因为这些人认为他们不需要倾听选民的意见。实际上，有时我们的政治家们似乎连自己的声音都不听。下面是一个真实的例子：在几年前亚柏克尔克举行的全国立法会议上，一位新闻助理在当时的参议员约瑟夫。蒙图亚演讲前交给了他一份新闻稿。令该新闻助理大吃一惊而使听众感到有趣的是，当蒙图亚起来讲话时，他读的不是演讲稿而是那份新闻稿。蒙图亚先生以“即时新闻稿。新墨西哥州的民主党参议员约瑟夫。蒙图亚昨晚在全国……上说……”开始，读完了全部的六页新闻稿，并以他“不时被掌声打断”结尾。

通过国家铁路系统的私有化创建起来的六大公司之一的东日本铁路有限公司，正吸引着越来越多人的目光。在一个发展前景不振的行业，它创造性地利用车站内部及周围的房地产的计划正引起人们的关注。

东日本铁路在11月份公布的“车站复兴”计划中说：它将不仅把它的商业空地用于开商店和餐馆，而且还要把这些

商业空地用于更加适应信息时代的功能上去。它打算把车站作为网上所购物品如书籍、花卉和日用百货等的收取地。该公司估算，在一个都市人严重依赖列车作为上下班交通工具的国度里，每天大约有1600万人因各种原因来到它的车站。因此，在车站收取物品使消费者节省了路途而且也不像往家里递送那样容易丢失。东日本铁路已经开始把车站的便利店用于这一目的，但它打算为网上货物的递送创立专门的空间。

该公司还打算引入智能卡（在日本称为IC卡，因为它们利用集成电路储存信息）取代目前使用的磁卡作为车票和定期券，把各种不同的票券合为一体。这将为公司节省资金，因为IC卡的读卡机比磁系统要便宜的多。IC卡使用的增加还将会减少售票所占用的空间。
