第二节完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)
When I was a college student, I did a lot of traveling abroad. That was because a professor 36 me to do so. She said, “Now is the time for you to travel around the world, 37 your knowledge through actual experiences and have fun!” I 38 her.
Since I started to work for a 39 company, however, I have done most of my traveling through the Internet. By using the Internet, I have seen the 40 of many cities on my computer screen. And I have really made business 41 , too. With the help of the Internet, I have also got 42 about food in different countries.

第三部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
第一节(共15小题; 每小题2分,满分30分)
A
After giving a talk at a high school, I was asked to pay a visit to a special student. An illness had kept the boy home, but he had expressed an interest in meeting me. I was told it would mean a great deal to him, so I agreed.
During the nine-mile drive to his home, I found out something about Matthew. He had muscular dystrophy (肌肉萎缩症). When he was born, the doctor told his parents that he would not live to five, and then they were told he would not make it to ten. Now he was thirteen. He wanted to meet me because I was a gold-medal power lifter, and I knew about overcoming obstacles and going for my dreams.
I spent over an hour talking to Matthew. Never once did he complain or ask, “Why me?” He spoke about winning and succeeding and going for his dreams. Obviously, he knew what he was talking about. He didn’t mention that his classmates had made fun of him because he was different. He just talked about his hopes for the future, and how one day he wanted to lift weights with me. When we had finished talking, I went to my briefcase and pulled out the first gold medal I had won and put it around his neck. I told him he was more of a winner and knew more about success and overcoming obstacles than I ever would. He looked at it for a moment, then took it off and handed it back to me. He said, “You are a champion. You earned that medal. Someday when I get to the Olympics and win my own medal, I will show it to you.”
Last summer I received a letter from Matthew’s parents telling me that Matthew had passed away. They wanted me to have a letter he had written to me a few days before:
Dear Dick,
My mum said I should send you a thank-you letter for the picture you sent me. I also want to let you know that the doctors tell me that I don’t have long to live any more, but I still smile as much as I can.
I told you someday that I would go to the Olympics and win a gold medal, but I know now I will never get to do that. However, I know I’m a champion, and God knows that too. When I get to Heaven, God will give me my medal and when you get there, I will show it to you. Thank you for loving me.
Your friend,
Matthew

There are robots all around us. Some do very complicated jobs like flying airplanes and driving subway trains. And some do one simple job. When an automatic washing machine is switched on, water pours in. The machine waits until the water is warm enough for washing clothes. It does this by “feedback” (反馈). Information about what is happening is feed back into the robot to tell what to do next. Our eyes, ears and other senses are our feedback. They tell us what is going on around us. So robots are like human beings in two ways.
They work and they have feedback.
In some ways robots are better than human beings. They work quickly and do not make mistakes. They do not get bored doing the same job over and over again. And they never get tired. So robots are very useful in factories. They can be taught to do many different jobs. First their electronic brain must be shown how the job is done. A person moves the robot’s “arms” and “hands” through each part of the job.
The most intelligent robots can move and see. Their eyes are cameras. Their fingers can feel shapes and sizes of the objects. These robots have computer brains linked to their eyes and fingers, which control their actions. The expensive “Times New Roman” --- The most intelligent robots are used in scientific research. They do such job as handling radioactive materials.
60. What does the author seem to inform you about robots?
A. They should be greatly improved.
B. They will probably take over in the future.
C. They are very helpful and useful to humans.
D. They are machines that break down a lot.
61. The fact that a robot never gets bored doing the same job means that_____.

Last August, Joe and Mary Mahoney began looking at colleges for their 17-year-old daughter, Maureen. With a checklist of criteria in hand, the Dallas family looked around the country visiting half a dozen schools. They sought a university that offered the teenager’s intended major, one located neat a large city, and a c ampus where their daughter would be safe. “The safety issue is a big one,” says Joe Mahoney, who quickly discovered he wasn’t alone in his worries. On campus tours other parents voiced similar concerns, and the same question was always asked : what about crime? But when college officials always gave the same answer ——“That’s not a problem here,” ——Mahoney began to feel uneasy.
“No crime whatsoever?” comments Mahoney today. “ I just don’t buy it.” Nor should he: in 1999 the U.S. Department of education had r eports of nearly 400,000 serious crimes on or around our campuses. “Parents need to understand that times have changed since they went to college,” says David Nichols, author of Creating a Safe Campus. “Campus crime mirrors the rest of the nation.”
But get ting accurate information isn’t easy. Colleges must report crime statistics(统计数字)by law, but some hold back for fear of bad publicity, leaving the honest ones looking dangerous. “The truth may not always be serious,” warms S. Daniel Carter of Security on Campus, Inc., the nation’s leading campus safety watchdog group.
To help concerned parents, Carter promised to visit campuses and talk to experts around the country to find out major crime issues and effective solutions.
64. The Mahoneys visited quite a few colleges last August ________
A. to express the opinions of many parents
B. to choose a right one four their daughter
C. to check the cost of college education
D. to find a tight one near a large city
65. It is often difficult to get correct information on campus crime because some colleges ____
A. receive too many visitors
B. mirror the rest of the nation
C. hide the truth of campus crime
D. have too many watchdog groups
66. The underlined word “buy” in the third paragraph means _______
A. mind
B. admit
C. believe
D. expect
67. What is the text mainly about?
A. Exact campus crime statistics
B. Crimes on or around campuses
C. Effective solutions to campus crime
D. Concerns about kids’ campus safety

Fidenzio Salvatori is determined that the city of Toronto will have an outdoor marketplace for merchants from its immigrant community, complete with dancing and other forms of amusement from their native countries. “Toronto is truly multicultural(多元文化的)，”he said in a newspaper interview. “It’s a city from many places, and a multicultural marketplace will help Torontonians to understand and appreciate the rich variety of cultural groups in our city.”
Salvatori, aged 23, will soon complete his studies at the University of Toronto. He was eleven years old when he came to Canada from Italy with his parents. “Most of Toronto’s immigrants are from lands where the marketplace has always been part of daily life,” he said.
Salvatori has been interested in getting an open-air market for Toronto for the last three years. This year, with the help of two fellow students, he prepared a proposal on the subject and presented it to the city’s Executive Committee, asking for their support. The proposal pointed out Toronto’s rich variety of national groups, “whose customs include market shopping.”
Under a Canadian government program for multiculturalism, the three students have received two thousand dollars with which they will do a study to find out whether Toronto’s immigrant businessmen would support and open-air market. They hope the merchants will support the plan strongly. “A study done earlier this year showed that 90 percent of shoppers would be in favor of it,” Salvatori said . “At first it would be an experiment. But we think it will prove to be good business for the merchants, as well as a to urist attraction.”
68. What is Fidenzio Salvatori’s purpose of having an outdoor marketplace for Toronto?
A. To provide different forms of amusement C. To inspire its immigrant community
B. To keep the cultural variety of the city D. To satisfy its immigrant merchants
69. Fidenzio Salvatori, with two other students, has got two thousand dollars from the government____
A. to make an experiment
B. to start a marketplace
C. to perform a research
D. to operate a business
70. According t o Salvatori, the marketplace may also help to improve Toronto’s ________
A. market management

C. travel industry
D. city planning

It can find small amounts of substances in water, such as blood, body liquids and chemicals produced by animals. ______71_____ Sharks eat fish, other sharks, and plants that live in the ocean.
Sharks grow slowly. About forty percent of all sharks lay eggs. ______72__________ Some sharks carry their young inside their bodies as humans do. Some sharks are not able to reproduce until they are twenty years old．Most reproduce only every two years. And they give birth to fewer than ten young sharks. For this reason, over-fishing of sharks is of special danger to the future of the animal.
Sharks are important for the world’s o ceans. They eat injured and diseased fish. Their hunting activities mean that the numbers of other fish in ocean waters do not become too great.
______73_______.

Dear editor,
I’m sorry to occupy your precious time, but I really want to tell you something about the problem of some people keeping too many pets nowadays.
I consider the problem more and more serious for the following reasons. First of all, as is known to people, pets make too much noise that troubles residents a lot. What’s more, it’s widely accepted that animal wastes pollute the environment which makes people quite uncomfortable. Many owners like taking their pets to public places where they may frighten children or even sometimes bite people. The most important is that pets can spread some diseases and this has attracted much attention.
Taking all these factors into consideration, I sincerely hope that I can get help from you and expect the media to do something for this.
Yours truly,
Wang Lin。
