It was late in the afternoon, and I was putting the final touch on a piece of writing that I was feeling pretty good about. I wanted to save it, but my cursor had frozen. I tried to shut the computer down, andit seized up altogether. Unsure of what else to do, I yanked (用力猛拉) the battery out:
Unfortunately, Windows had been in the midst of a delicate and crucial undertaking. The next morning, when I turned my computer back on, it informed me that a file had been corrupted and Windows would not load. Then, it offered to repair itself by using the Windows Setup CD.
I opened the special drawer where I keep CDs, but no Windows CD in there. I was forced to call the computer company' s Global Support Centre. My call was answered by a woman in.some unnamed, far-off land. I fred it annoying to make small talk with someone when I don' t know what continent they' re standing on. Suppose I were to comment on the beautiful weather we've been having when there was a monsoon at the otber end of the phone? So I got right to the point.
"My computer is telling me a file is corrupted and it wants to fix itself, but I don' t have the Windows Setup CD. "
"So you' re having a problem with your Windows Setup CD. " She has apparently been dozing and, having come to just as the sentence ended, was attempting to cover for her inattention.
It quickly became clear that the woman was not a computer technician. Her job was to serve as a gatekeeper, a human shield for the technicians. Her sole duty, as far as I could tell, was to raise global stress levels.
To make me disappear, the woman:gave me the phone number for Windows' creator, Microsoft. This is like giving someone the phone number for, I don' t know, North America. Besides, the CD worked; I just didn't have it. No matter how many times I repeated my story, we came back to the same place. She was calm and resolutely polite.
When my voice hit a certain decibel (分貝), I was passed along, like a hot, irritable potato, to a technician.
"You don' t have the Windows Setup CD, ma' am, because you don' t need it, " he explained cheerfully.
"Windows came preinstalled on your computer!"
"But I do need it. "
"Yes, but you don't have it. " We went on like this for a while. ,Finally, he offered to walk me through the use of a different CD, one that would erase my entire system. "Of course, you' d lose all your e-mail, your documents, your photos. " It was like offering to drop a safe on my head to cure my headache. "You might be able to recover them, but it would be expensive. " He sounded delighted. "And it' s not coveted by the warranty ( 產品保證書) !" The safe began to seem like a good idea, provided it was full.
I hung up the phone and drove my computer to a small, friendly repair place I' d heard about. A smart, helpful man dug out a Windows CD and told me it wouldn't be a problem. An hour later, be called to let me know it was ready. I thanked him, and we chatted about the weather, which was the same outside my window as it was outside his.

短文賞析
本文講述了作者在對自己認為非常滿意的一篇文章收尾時，電腦出問題了，之后與全球技術支持中心的客服聯絡的過程。作者認為那個女客服一點都不合格，她的解釋只會令人越聽越糊涂。但是接下來女客服把微軟的電話號碼告訴作者之后，技術人員的解釋依然令人費解，甚至最后試圖敷衍了事。經過一番折騰之后，作者送到附近的小店里維修之后，一切恢復正常。文章帶有幽默諷刺的意味，以兩個人在同一地點談論同一天氣結束。
答案及解析
56.B【解析】第一段中，作者說自己想保存文件，但是光標不動了，死機了。只有把電池拔出強行關機，所以排除A，D。c中說電腦拒絕工作，不合題意。所以本題應選B。
57.B【解析】此題是有關作者態度的問題。由第5、6段可以看出女客服的回答令人很不滿，很沮喪。所以本題應選B。
58.D【解析】此題問技術員的回答如何。文章中“But I do need it.”“Yes.but you don’t have it.”We went on like this for a while.Fi-nally.he offered to walk me through…可以看出“技術員最后是在敷衍作者，沒有提出一個合理的解決辦法”。所以本題應選D。
59.A【解析】“It was like offering to drop a safe on my head to cure my headache.”意為“就像給我提供一個保險箱放我頭上來治愈我的頭痛一樣。”含蓄諷刺地說技術員提供的建議不可采取。所以本題應選A。
60.C【解析】由文中可知全球技術支持中心跟當地修理店的區別在于，當地修理店效率高，地點近，態度好。題目問的是除了哪個選項以外，其他都是二者的不同。所以本題應選C。
