Section C (12分，每小题1.5分)

Directions: Complete the following passage by using ONE word for each blank that best fits the context.

People choose to live in 　48　 　near cities for several reasons. The main reason is the number and variety of jobs available. The economies of many nations are based 　49　 　on manufacturing(制造业). Most manufacturing takes place in and near cities, and so most of the jobs are there. Cities 　50　 　offer cultural and recreation(娱乐)activities. City residents(居民)need not travel 　51　 　to go to art galleries, museums, and concerts. They can shop in nearby stores 　52　 　sell thousands of products and borrow books from huge public libraries. 　53　 　can also conveniently attend motion pictures, plays, and sports events. Many people choose to live in or near a city simply because they like the rapid pace of city life. Perhaps these same people complain about the crowds, dirt, and noise in a city,　 54　 　they like the hustling(忙碌喧闹)activity that makes city life so different from rural life.　 55　 　many people prefer to live in or near cities.

PART THREE READING COMPREHENSION

Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.(30分，每小题2分)

A

File-sharing occurs whenever one individual sends a file to another. The only way to even try to limit this process is to monitor all communication between ordinary people. Despite the crackdown on Napster, Kazaa and other peer-to-peer(对等网络)services over the past decade, the volume of file-sharing has grown exponentially. Even if the authorities closed down all other possibilities, people could still send copyrighted files as attachments to e-mails or through private networks. If people start doing that, should we give the government the right to monitor all mail and all encrypted(加密)networks? Whenever there are ways of communicating in private, they will be used to share copyrighted material. If you want to stop people doing this, you must remove the right to communicate in private. There is no other option. Society has to make a choice.

The world is at a crossroads. The internet and new information technologies are so powerful that no matter what we do, society will change. But the direction has not been decided.

The internet is still in its infancy, but already we see fantastic things appearing as if by magic. Take Linux, the free computer operating system, or Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. But where technology opens up new possibilities, our intellectual property laws do their best to restrict them. Linux is held back by patents, the rest of the examples by copyright. The public increasingly recognizes the need for reform.

Our manifesto(声明)is to reform copyright laws and gradually abolish(废除)the patent system. We oppose mass surveillance(监视)and censorship(审查制度)on the net, as in the rest of society. We intend to devote all our time and energy to protecting the basal civil liberties on the net and elsewhere.

Political decisions taken over the next five years are likely to set the course we take into the information society, and will affect the lives of millions for many years into the future. The information revolution is happening here and now. It is up to us to decide what future we want.
