问题     Some of my classmates in the same dorm established a chatting group on the Net when broadband was available on campus. Then everyone faced their own laptops and talked to each other by sending messages in the chatting group in the same room. Their dorm was silent the whole night. The only sound came from tapping the keyboard. Before they went to bed that night, all of them sighed and said, "that’s ridiculous. "
    Information Technology brings about revolutionary changes to human communication. The Internet makes the world global village; that is to say, we can get in touch with each other swiftly regardless of one’s location. However, does the convenience in communication mean that we are actually getting closer? I don’t think so. As the anecdote above shows, access to broadband made my fellow classmates fall in silence. The Cambridge International Dictionary defines "communication" as "various methods of sending informa-tion between people and places. " while it defines "communicate" as "to be able to understand each other and have a satisfactory relationship. " Therefore. The booming of IT in modern society is only the booming of communication. Exchanging ideas and mutual understanding between people do not base on such booming. On the contrary, due to the revolutionary changes, we’re getting farther from each other to some extent.
    Mutual understanding is based on expression. However, expression doesn’t necessarily lead to soul touching communication and understanding. When we waffle with a mere acquaintance, we normally conceal our true feelings. Thus, we don’t establish communication with him, because we do not need him to understand us. The era of cyberspace further demonstrates such separation of form and content.
    The Internet gives us nearly absolute freedom to speak and express ourselves. With the prosperity of blog, there are, according to recent statistics, about 400,000 bloggers in China today. Bloggers express themselves on the Net at their will, while others read their blog and give comments once for a while. It seems that blog can make us touch upon the bloggers’ inside world, and make us know them better. However, things are not always that perfect.
    Many netizens are abusing their right of free expression. Once you open the Explorer and browse a website, trash information about sex and viol ence hits our eyes. People scold and flirt in the chat room and Bulletin Board System (BBS). When blog comes into being, netizens even transfer such vulgarity into their personal spaces, and show it to the public.
    In the era of the Information Technology boom, the farthest distance on earth is no longer the polar distance. The negative impacts brought about by cyberspace have imposed an unfilled gulf between souls. Since we cannot communicate to each other like before, the distance between people’s hearts has become the farthest distance on earth. [br] The author believes that the booming of IT in modern society______.
选项 A、encourages the exchange of ideas and the mutual understanding between people
B、leads to soul touching communication and understanding
C、helps to establish a satisfactory relationship
D、results in further separation between people
答案 D
