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.

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.
