They are thereby shut _61_ from the world of books and newspapers, having to _62_ on friends to read aloud to them.A young scientist named Raymond Kurzweil has now designed a computer which is a major _63_ in providing aid to the _64_. His machine, Cyclops, has a camera that _65_ any page, interprets the print into sounds, and then delivers them orally in a robot-like _66_ through a speaker. By pressing the appropriate buttons _67_ Cyclopss keyboard, a blind person can “read” any _68_ document in the English language.This remarkable invention represents a tremendous _69_ forward in the education of the handicapped. At present, Cyclops costs $50,000. _70_, Mr. Kurzweil and his associates are preparing a smaller _71_ improved version that will sell _72_ less than half that price. Within a few years, Kurzweil _73_ the price range will be low enough for every school and library to _74_ one. Michael Hingson, Director of the National Federation for the Blind, hopes that _75_ will be able to buy home _76_ of Cyclops for the price of a good television set.Mr. Hingsons organization purchased five machines and is now testing them in Maryland, Colorado, Iowa, California, and New York. Blind people have been _77_ in those tests, making lots of _78_ suggestions to the engineers who helped to produce Cyclops.“This is the first time that blind people have ever done individual studies _79_ a product was put on the market, Hingson said. “Most manufacturers believed that having the blind help the blind was like telling disabled people to teach other disabled people. In that _80_, the manufacturers have been the blind ones.”61.A) upB) downC) inD) off（D）62.A) dwellB) relyC) pressD) urge（B）63.A) executionB) distinctionC) breakthroughD) process（C）64.A) paralyzedB) uneducatedC) invisibleD) sightless（D）65.A) scansB) enlargesC) sketchesD) projects（A）66.A) behaviorB) expressionC) movementD) voice（D）67.A) onB) atC) inD) from（A）68.A) visualB) printedC) virtualD) spoken（B）69.A) strideB) trailC) haulD) footprint（A）70.A) LikewiseB) MoreoverC) HoweverD) Though（C）71.A) butB) thanC) orD) then（A）72.A) onB) forC) throughD) to（B）73.A) estimatesB) considersC) countsD) determines（A）74.A) settleB) ownC) investD) retain（B）75.A) schoolsB) childrenC) familiesD) companies（C）76.A) modelsB) modesC) casesD) collections（A）77.A) producingB) researchingC) ascertainingD) assisting（D）78.A) trueB) valuableC) authenticD) pleasant（B）79.A) afterB) whenC) beforeD) as（C）80.A) occasionB) momentC) senseD) even【参考答案】：61.

You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Historically, humans get serious about avoiding disasters only after one has just struck them. _62_ that logic, 2006 should have been a breakthrough year for rational behavior. With the memory of 9/11 still _63_ in their minds, Americans watched hurricane Katrina, the most expensive disaster in U.S. history, on _64_ TV. Anyone who didnt know it before should have learned that bad things can happen. And they are made _65_ worse by our willful blindness to risk as much as our _66_ to work together before everything goes to hell.Granted, some amount of delusion (错觉) is probably part of the _67_ condition. In A.D. 63, Pompeii was seriously damaged by an earthquake, and the locals immediately went to work _68_, in the same spotuntil they were buried altogether by a volcano eruption 16 years later. But a _69_ of the past year in disaster history suggests that modern Americans are particularly bad at _70_ themselves from guaranteed threats. We know more than we _71_ did about the dangers we face. But it turns _72_ that in times of crisis, our greatest enemy is _73_ the storm, the quake or the _74_ itself. More often, it is ourselves.So what has happened in the year that _75_ the disaster on the Gulf Coast? In New Orleans, the Army Corps of Engineers has worked day and night to rebuild the flood walls. They have got the walls to _76_ they were before Katrina, more or less. Thats not _77_, we can now say with confidence. But it may be all _78_ can be expected from one year of hustle (忙碌).Meanwhile, New Orleans officials have crafted a plan to use buses and trains to _79_ the sick and the disabled. The city estimates that 15,000 people will need a _80_ out. However, state officials have not yet determined where these people will be taken. The _81_ with neighboring communities are ongoing and difficult.62.A) ToB) ByC) OnD) For（B）63.A) freshB) obviousC) apparentD) evident（A）64.A) visualB) vividC) liveD) lively（C）65.A) littleB) lessC) moreD) much（D）66.A) reluctanceB) rejectionC) denialD) decline（A）67.A) naturalB) worldC) socialD) human（D）68.A) revisingB) refiningC) rebuildingD) retrieving（C）69.A) reviewB) reminderC) conceptD) prospect（A）70.A) preparingB) protestingC) protectingD) prevailing（C）71.A) neverB) everC) thenD) before（B）72.A) upB) downC) overD) out（D）73.A) merelyB) rarelyC) incidentallyD) accidentally（B）74.A) surgeB) spurC) surfD) splash（A）75.A) ensuedB) tracedC) followedD) occurred（C）76.A) whichB) whereC) whatD) when（B）77.A) enoughB) certainC) conclusiveD) final（A）78.A) butB) asC) thatD) those（C）79.A) exileB) evacuateC) dismissD) displace（B）80.A) rideB) trailC) pathD) track（A）81.A) conventionsB) notificationsC) communicationsD) negotiations【参考答案】：62.

D2008年6月Part V ClozeSeven years ago, when I was visiting Germany, I met with an official who explained to me that the country had a perfect solution to its economic problems. Watching the U.S. economy_62_ during the 90s, the Germans had decided that they, too, needed to go the high-technology _63_. But how? In the late 90s, the answer schemed obvious: Indians. _64_ all, Indian entrepreneurs accounted for one of every three Silicon Valley start-ups. So the German government decided that it would _65_ Indians to Germany just as America does: by _66_ green cards. Officials created something called the German Green Card and _67_ that they would issue 20,000 in the first year. _68_, the Germans expected that tens of thousands more Indians would soon be begging to come, and perhaps the _69_ would have to be increased. But the program was a failure. A year later _70_ half of the 20,000 cards had been issued. After a few extensions, the program was _71_.I told the German official at the time that I was sure the _72_ would fail. Its not that I had any particular expertise in immigration policy, _73_ I understood something about green cards, because I had one (the American _74_). The German Green Card was misnamed, I argued, _75_ it never, under any circumstances, translated into German citizenship. The U.S. green card, by contrast, is an almost _76_ path to becoming American (after five years and a clean record). The official _77_ my objection, saying that there was no way Germany was going to offer these people citizenship. “We need young tech workers,” he said. “Thats what this program is all _78_.” So Germany was asking bright young _79_ to leave their country, culture and families, move thousands of miles away, learn a new language and work in a strange landbut without any _80_ of ever being part of their new home. Germany was sending a signal, one that was _81_ received in India and other countries, and also by Germanys own immigrant community.62. A) soar B) hover C) amplify D) intensify63.
