andgrammatically correct.For the blanks with a given word,fill in each blank with the proper form ofthe given word;for the other blanks,use one word that best fits each blank.(A)One day I heard two girls talking about making net friends in a caf.One said that she(25)_(meet)one of her net friends and the other told her not to because most people found theirnet friends(26)_(disappoint)in real life.We all know it is quite common now that many teenagers,especially(27)_ fromone-child families,like to make net friends and spend lots of time chatting with them because theyneed someone to talk with and share their sorrow and happiness.However,is it wise for them todo so?In my opinion,it is possible for you to find some real good friends with the help of newtechnology but you(28)_ _ take care.When you talk with someone unknown on theInternet,you have no idea at all what kind of person he is and(29)_ he is telling you thetruth.Besides we cant deny that some bad guys mask themselves very well so that they can getmany nice people(30)_(trap).So,youre taking the risk of meeting your net friends(31)_ you get any idea about him.In a word,you can never be too careful when meeting yournet friends.(B)Perhaps one aspect of modern life which is most often considered annoying is noise.According to some estimates,the amount of urban noise(32)_(double)in the past tenyears,and with the increase in road and air traffic,noise is likely to increase too.Noise quite clearly affects the health of modern man.It is a health threat.Loud noise(33)_(say)to be a leading cause of deafness among many people over 65.It is also a major(34)_(contribute)factor in causing stress,(35)_ itself causes a variety of illnesses.Noise is sometimes associated with lack of communication in the modern world.In manybusy shops,factories and nightclubs,(36)_ level and constancy of noise make conversationat a natural level difficult or impossible.Certain people in society,such as motorcyclists,seem to believe they have a right(37)_(make)as much noise as they like without being fined.Do they?We are so trained to noise in this modern world(38)_ people growing up with little(39)_ no experience of genuine peace and quiet have begun to associate silence with boredom.Isnt it time for us to start teaching young people that silence is golden and that you can do a lot ofinteresting things(40)_ the accompaniment of noise?Section BDirectionsComplete the following passage by using the words in the box.Each word can onlybe used once.Note that there is one word more than you need.A.accurateB.alterationC.averageD.calculatesE.concealF.enormouslyG.initialH.intervalsI.merelyJ.multiplyK.predictionBeyond two or three days,the worlds best weather forecasts are based on guesswork,andbeyond six or seven they are worthless.The Butterfly Effect is the reason.For small pieces of weather and to a global forecaster,small can mean thunderstorms and snowstorms any _41_ fails rapidly.Errors anduncertainties _42_,gathering upward through a chain of unstable features,from dust devils(尘旋风)and windstorms up to continent-size eddies(旋风)_43_ satellites can see.The modern weather models work with a network of points of the order of sixty miles apart,and even so,some _44_ data has to be guessed,since ground stations and satellites cannot seeeverywhere.But suppose the earth could be covered with sensors spaced one foot apart,rising atone-foot _45_ all the way to the top of the atmosphere.Suppose every sensor gives perfectly_46_ readings of temperature,pressure,dampness,and any other quantity a meteorologist(气象工作者)would want.Exactly at noon a(n)_47_ powerful computer takes all the data and_48_ what will happen at each point at 12.01,then 12.02,then 12.03 The computer will still be unable to predict whether Princeton,New Jersey,will have sun orrain on a day one month away.At noon the spaces between the sensors will _49_ alterationsthat the computer will not know about,tiny variations from the _50_.By 12.01,thosealterations will already have created small errors one foot away.Soon the errors will havemultiplied to the ten-foot scale,and so on up to the size of the globe.III.Reading ComprehensionSection ADirectionsFor each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Ecotourism is a combination of ecology(the study of systems of living things)and tourism.Itis _51_“responsible travel to natural areas that preserves the environment and improves thewelfare of the local people”by the International Ecotourism Society.Actually,ecotourism canmean travel to far-off places of great natural beauty,but not always in a(n)_52_ way.Its abig business,and the attraction of money can cause people to think about _53_ first.Whileecotourism offers benefits to people and ecosystems,it leaves ecosystems open to negative effects,too.Costa Rica,once a Spanish colony,and independent since 1821,has an ecotourism industryworth over one billion dollars yearly,and thousands of jobs have been _54_.Nearly 21percent of the land is now protected national parks,_55_ thanks to ecotourism.Nevertheless,due to the number of people visiting the countrys natural places,some damage to the ecosystemhas occurred.While _56_ can have a negative impact on ecosystems,the same areas might have been_57_ by industries such as farming,logging,or mining if there were no ecotourism industry.Shelters(庇护所)have been created _58_,keeping the ecosystem protected.And,by visitingbeautiful rainforests and seeing rare animals,visitors get a sense of their _59_,and ofgratitude for them.Tour guides can also be educators who train people to love and care for theenvironment.Visitors can take these _60_ with them to their home countries.Unfortunately,while their effect may not be _61_ in the off-season,the constant paradeof visitors in the high season can be damaging.At one national park in Costa Rica,wild monkeysnow feed on garbage left by the tourists._62_,ecotourists tend to seek out places with therarest animals and plants,_63_ the most delicate living things.It is easy to be critical of the ecotourism industry,but it is important to be _64_ as well.Ecotourism can never be“pure”.We cant expect zero negative effects on the ecosystem.It is also_65_ to suppose that humans wont go anywhere accessible to them.If protection efforts aremaintained and increased,those remaining places of undisturbed nature may be stressed,but theywont be destroyed.51.A.defined asB.made up ofC.applied toD.combined

glove and a ball,Dad would always be there to handle anything I threwin his direction.His devotion to our springtime ritual showed his devotion to me not only to mylove of baseballl but also to my
