       As a child, I was truly afraid of the dark and of getting lost; these fears were very real and caused me some uncomfortable moments.

       Maybe it was the strange   36   things looked and sounded in my familiar room at night that   37   me so much. There was never total   38  , but a streetlight or passing car lights

  39   clothes hung over a chair take on the   40   of a wild animal. Out of the corner of my    

  41  , I saw the curtains seem to move when there was no   42  . A tiny sound in the floor would seem a hundred times louder than in the daylight. My   43   would run wild, and my heart would beat fast. I would   44   very still so that the “enemy” would not discover me.

       Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost,   45   on the way home from school. Every morning I got on the school bus right near my home―that was no   46  . After school,   47  , when all the buses were   48   up along the street, I was afraid that I’d get on the wrong one and be taken to some   49   neighborhood.

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）

       阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

       One of the greatest killers in the Western world is heart disease. The death rate (率) from the disease has been increasing at an alarming speed for the past thirty years. Today in Britain, for example, about four hundred people a day die of heart disease. Medical experts know that people can reduce their chances of getting heart disease by exercising regularly, by not smoking, by changing their diets, and by paying more attention to reducing stress (压力) in their work.

       However, Western health-care systems are still not paying enough attention to the prevention of the disease. There is a need for more programs to educate the public about the causes and prevention of heart disease. Instead of supporting such programs, however, the U.S. health-care system is spending large sums of money on the surgical (外科的) treatment of the disease after it   develops. This emphasis (强调) on treatment clearly has something to do with the technological advances that have taken place in the past ten to fifteen. Years. In this time, modern technology has enabled doctors to develop new surgical techniques. Many operations that were considered impossible or too risky (有风险的) a few years ago are now performed every day in U.S. hospitals. The result has been a huge increase in heart surgery.

       Although there is no doubt that heart surgery can help a large number of people, some people point out that the emphasis on the surgical treatment of the disease has three clear disadvantages. First, it attracts interest and money away from the question of prevention. Second, it causes the costs of general hospital care to rise. After hospitals buy the expensive equipment that is necessary for modern heart surgery, they must try to recover the money they have spent. To do this, they raise costs for all their patients, not just those patients whose treatment requires the equipment. The third disadvantage is that doctors are encouraged to perform surgery―even on patients for whom an operation is unnecessary―because the equipment and expert skills are there. A government office recently stated that major heart surgery was often performed even though its chances of success were low. In one type of heart surgery, for example, only 15 percent of patients improved their conditions after the surgery. However, more than 100,000 of these operations are performed in the United States every year.

56.   What effect has modern technology had on medicine?

       A. It has reduced the costs of medical treatment.

       B. It has helped save the lives of most patients.

       C. It has encouraged doctors to do more heart surgeries.

       D. It has helped educate people about the prevention of heart disease.

57.   “To do this” (in Paragraph 3) means ______.

       A. to help patients recover

       B. to increase the number of heart surgeries

       C. to get back the money spent on the equipment

       D. to buy new equipment for the treatment of heart disease

58.   The author would agree that ______.

       A. more money should be spent on the prevention of heart disease

       B. heart surgery has helped most patients improve their conditions

       C. modern technology has made heart surgery more risky than before

       D. the public have known a great deal about the causes of heart disease

59.   What would be the best title for the passage?

       A. The Greatest Killer in the West

       B. Heart Disease: Treat or Prevent

       C. Modern Technology and Heart Surgery

       D. Heart Surgery: Advantages and Disadvantages

       What am I doing with my daughter at home? Rather than read aloud from books, we go to dinner and have a very good time. This is usually when her Mom isn’t around, and this is when my little girl and I relate better. They’re alone together so much. We’re seldom alone. When we’re alone together, she and I somehow behave differently. We learn about each other. She learns that I’m her father. I learn that she’s my daughter. It’s a strange feeling, but any parent knows what I’m talking about when I say that I often look at my daughter and wonder just whose kid she is. Where’d she suddenly come from? And why on earth did she pick Laura and me for parents?

       When my daughter and I are alone she’ll hold my hand and say, “I just love you so much, Daddy!” She’s so used to my leaving that when I tell her she and I are going to hang out all night, she gets this great look on her face and says, “We’ve got so much to do, Dad!” There’s nothing like it in the world.

       I want my relationship with my daughter to keep growing, so I’ve been giving my wife a couple of hundred dollars each week and making her go to the shopping center with her girlfriends, or something―anything!

       But this closeness is not without its problems. When I’m sitting there playing with her Barbie doll (巴比娃娃), washing her hair, a voice in me suddenly says, “I’ve got to get a drink and get out of here.” Right in the middle of all this pleasantness, the voice goes, “Look at yourself! You’re washing dolls!”

63.   Why does the husband give his wife so much money each week?

       A. He wants her to buy more things for the family.

       B. She can do whatever she likes with the money.

       C. He can spend more time with his daughter.

       D. She can spend more time with her friends.

64.   Which of the following statements is true?

       A. The father spends more time with the daughter than the mother does.

       B. The daughter is happy when the father tells her he will be away.

       C. The father is happy, hearing “We’ve got so much to do, Dad!”

       D. The father is sure that the daughter is not his own.

65.   What does the last paragraph tell us about the father?

       A. He doesn’t enjoy being with his daughter.

       B. He doesn’t like washing his daughter’s hair.

       C. He likes to enjoy himself by going out for a drink.

       D. He has mixed feeling when he is with his daughter.

       The tower of Big Ben, London’s most famous building, has always leaned (倾斜) slightly, but construction work on a new line for the London Underground seemed likely to give the tower a real lean. Engineers have had to prop up (支撑) its base to prevent it from damaging the rest of the Houses of Parliament.

       To control the tower’s movement, engineers pumped grout (水泥浆) into the soil under the tower. The tower now leans an extra few centimeters, but the lean can only be seen by the most sharp-eyed observer.

       Between 1995 and 1997, to lengthen the Jobilee line of the Underground, builders dug a 40-metre-deep hole just 31 metres north of the clock tower. And the new tube (underground) tunnels were even nearer to the tower. John Burland, who recently helped stop the increasing lean in the Leaning Tower of Pisa and was an adviser to the Jubilee line project, believed the work would affect the tower. In his opinion, no further lean should go beyond a safety limit of 27.5 millimetres over the existing lean of 220 millimetres.

       To keep the lean within this limit, Burland told the British Association about the new method of pumping grout immediately under the base of the tower. More than 300 tons of grout were pumped in during construction. The tower’s additional lean went between 10 and 25 millimetres, but never passed 27.5 millimetres.

After the construction work was completed in late 1997, a review of movements in nearby walls showed that the building was in better shape than had been thought before and the safety limit was raised to 35 millimetres before any action needs to be taken.

       Since 1997, the tower has continued to lean, Burland told Modern Construction. The latest measurements, taken this year, suggest that the tower’s lean had just reached 35 millimetres. But following regular re-examinations of the tower, experts are sure that the tower has stabilised (稳定). A spokesman for London Underground says: “We understand the tower has stabilized and returned to its normal movement cycle.”

                                                                      From Modern Construction, 16 September 2000

66.   Which of the following drawings correctly shows how the propping up construction was      carried out?

67.   What does the word “review” (in Paragraph 5) mean?

       A. Observation.                           B. Description.

       C. Discussion.                                   D. Re-examination.

68.   Why was the propping up construction necessary?

       A. To stop the tower of Big Ben from leaning.

       B. To stop sharp-eyed people from seeing the lean.

       C. To stop the Tower of Pisa from leaning too much.

       D. To stop the clock tower from leaning beyond its safety limit.

69.   What was the existing lean of the tower at the time when the article was written?

       A. 220 millimetres.                      B. 255 millimetres.

       C. 35 millimetres.                        D. 27.5 millimetres.

70.   We can infer from the article that ______.

       A. the tower of Big Ben will damage the Houses of Parliament

       B. the Jubilee line should be stopped in Burland’s opinion

       C. the writer is blaming Burland for making a mistake

       D. the propping up work has proved to be successful

       Since 1989, Dave Thomas, who died at age 69, was one of the most recognizable faces on TV. He appeared in more than 800 commercials (商业广告) for the hamburger chain named for his daughter. “As long as it works,” he said in 1991, “I’ll continue to do those commercials.”

       Even though he was successful, Thomas remained troubled by his childhood. “He still won’t let anyone see his feet, which are out of shape because he never had proper-fitting shoes,” Wendy said in 1993. Born to a single mother, he was adopted (收养) as a baby by Rex and Auleva Thomas of Kalamazoo in Michigan. After Auleva died when he was 5, Thomas spent years on the road as Rex traveled around seeking construction work. “He fed me,” Thomas said, “and if I got out of line, he’d beat me.”

       Moving out on his own at 15, Thomas worked, first as a waiter, in many restaurants. But he had something much better in mind. “I thought if I owned a restaurant,” he said, “I could eat for free.” A 1956b meeting with Harland Sanders led Thomas to a career as the manager of a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant that made him a millionaire in 1968.

       In 1969, after breaking with Sanders, Thomas started the first Wendy’s Old Fashioned Hamburgers, in Columbus, Ohio, which set itself apart by serving made-to-order burgers. With 6,000 restaurants worldwide, the chain now makes $ 6 billion a year in sales.

       Although troubled by his own experience with adoption, Thomas, married since 1954 to Lorraine, 66, and with four grown kids besides Wendy, felt it could offer a future for other children. He started the Dave Thomas Foundation (基金会) for Adoption in 1992.

       In 1993, Thomas, who had left school at 15, graduated from Coconut Creek High School in Florida. He even took Lorraine to the graduation dance party. The kids voted him Most Likely to Succeed.

       “The Dave you saw on TV was the real Dave,” says friend Pat Williams. “He wasn’t a great actor or a great speaker. He was just Joe Everybody.”

71.   What is the article mainly about?

       A. The life of Dave Thomas.

       B. The dream of Dave Thomas.

       C. The schooling of Dave Thomas.

       D. The growth of Dave Thomas’s business.

72.   What do we know about his childhood?

       A. He lived a poor life.                        B. He had caring parents.

       C. He stayed in one place.                   D. He didn’t go to school.

73.   Choose the right time order of the following events in Thomas’s life.

              a. graduated from high school

              b. started his own business

              c. became a millionaire

              d. started a foundation

              e. met Harland Sanders

A. e, b, c, d, a                    B. a, e, c, b, d               C. e, c, b, d, a               D. a, e, b, c, d

74.   “He was just Joe  Everybody.” (in the last paragraph) means ______.

       A. Dave was famous                   B. Dave was ordinary

       C. Dave was showy                           D. Dave was shy
