Five years later．I was moving to California．While （48）C my apartment I came across the unopened envelope．This time I opened it and read the editor's letter in （49）A：

19．Carbon monoxide（一氧化碳） poisoning kills and injures many people and animals around the world．The gas has been a problem since people first began burning fuels to cook food or to create heat．It is a problem in all parts of the world that experience cold weather．
Carbon monoxide is called the silent killer because people do not know it is in the air．The gas has no color．It has no taste．It has no smell．It does not cause burning eyes．And it does not cause people to cough．But it is very deadly．It robs the body of its ability to use oxygen．
Carbon monoxide decreases the ability of the blood to carry oxygen to body tissues．It does this by linking with the blood．When the gas links with the blood，the blood is no longer able to carry oxygen to the tissues that need it．
Damage to the body can begin very guickly from large amounts of carbon monoxide．How quickly this happens depends on the length of time a perosn is breathing the gas and the amount of the gas he or she breathes in．
Carbon monoxide poisoning has waming sings．But people have to be awake to recognize them．Small amounts of the gas will cause a person's head to hurt．He or she may beginto feel tired．The person may have trouble thinking clearly．Peole develop severe head pains as the amount of gas continues to erter their blood．They will begin to feel very tired and sleepy．They may have terribe stomach pains．
Medical experts say carbon monoxide affects people differently．For example，a small child will experience health problems or die much quicker than an adult will．The general heath of person or his or her age can also be important．An older adult with health problems may suffer the effects of carbon monoxide more quickly than a younger person with no health problems．People with heart disease may suffer chest pains．They may begin to have trouble breathing．

14．In the computer age，most of us take a broadband（宽带）Internet connection for granted．Whether cable or mobile broadband，today's connections are many times faster than those in the early days．Videos play smoothly，complex websites load quickly，and files（档案文件）download much faster than ten years ago．And the files are much bigger too．
There's a catch，of course：You have to live near enough to a major city to get broadband Internet．If you don't，it's slow dial-up access for you．And for those living really far out，there may be no Internet access at all．
Technology experts often talk about the"last mile"problem，which refers to the difficulty of bringing Internet access to remote locations．In cities and suburbs（郊区），it's relatively easy to provide access for everyone．It is much more difficult to deliver access to those living far from cities，especially in developing countries．Internet service providers，for their part，have been reluctant to provide access to sparsely （稀疏地） populated areas．The handful of Internet users they would reach wouldn't cover the expense．
But every year，technological advancements allow of more and more Internet users．Most broadband connections today run over existing cable TV and telephone lines although these technologies aren't available everywhere．
Some companies have delivered the Internet over standard power lines．Advancements in cheaper，more efficient fiber optics cables （光纤电缆） promise to bring extremely fast Internet connections to more users．
Still，the"last mile"problem remains hard to deal with．There will always be somewhere that doesn't have an affordable broadband connection．But someday that might not matter．If the rapid progress in cell phone technology is any indication （迹象），it may not be too long before an Internet connection simply follows you wherever you go．
68．The underlined part"a catch"（in Paragraph 2）probably means"D"．
A．a rare challenge                 B．a desirable plan
C．an efficient device              D．a hidden problem
69．What can we know from the third paragraph？D
A．Internet connection has not been popular in most cities．
B．Internet service providers care about rural（农村的）customers．
C．Computer is popular in developing countries．
D．It is hard to bring Internet access to users in remote areas．
70．Paragraph 4 mainly tells us that technological advancementsC．
A．make TV and telephone available everywhere
B．bring great change to people's everyday life
C．make it possible for more people to use the Internet
D．bring faster Internet connections to users
71．What may eventually settle the"last mile"problem？D
A．The broadband connection's getting faster．
B．More and more Internet users．
C．more and more Internet connections．
D．The rapid progress in cell phone technology．
