Maybe it was the strange 36 things looked and sounded in my familiar room at night that 37 me so much. There was 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 be taken to some 49 neighborhood. On school or family trips to a park or a museum ,I wouldn’t 50 the leaders out of my sight.
Perhaps one of the worst fears 51 all I had as a child was that of not being liked or 52 by others. Being popular was so important to me 53 ,and the fear of not being liked was a 54 one.

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 of 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 rice. 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 patients, not just those patients whose treatment requires the equipment. The third disadvantage is that doctors are encouraged to perform survey—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, 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

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 hase 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 Jubilee 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 stabilized (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 world "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 necessary?
B.To stop sharp-eyed people from. seeing the lean.
C.To stop the Tower of Pisa from leaning to 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

Li Ming and I took part in a wilderness survival program yesterday, and it has been one of the most unforgettable experiences since high school.
Early in the morning, we set out. Li Ming was carrying a compass and a tent in his backpack, and in mine there was a FLASHlight, a map, a knife, a first-aid kit, some matches, candles, food, and clothing.
On the way to the campsite, we climbed a hill, and then we swam across a fiver, pushing the backpacks on a large piece of wood we had found by the river.
As we got into a forest, we lost our way. Luck fly, we found the fight direction with the compass.
By the time we arrived at the campsite, it had already been dark. Li Ming then put up the tent, and I made a fire and started cooking.
The two of us spent the night in the forest.
We learned to use knowledge gained in classroom training to solve problems. It was quite an experience for us both, which I'll never forget for the rest of my life.

I taught in Tokyo, Japan, and I thought I had prepared myself pretty well before with the necessary travel books and my helpful Japanese-Canadian roommate. I was really excited about teaching because it was my first paying job. I began each class by introducing myself. I could see the excitement in my students' faces as they have a real American girl. Their warm welcome made me feel comfortable, and so I let them ask me some questions. To my surprise, I was asked questions like "How old are you?" "Are you married?" "Why aren't you married?" "Why did you come to Japan?" I was really surprised. I couldn't believe that the students could ask such personal questions and expect honest answers. After this happened in several classes, I stopped giving the students chances to ask me these questions. I later found out that these questions are acceptable in Japan, and this is not information that is considered too personal. Once I realized that the students didn't mean to be impolite and actually cared about me, I felt much more comfortable about my first experiences.
