80． 　

Asakawa, 45, has spent the past eight years making the Internet a friendly place for people who can’t see. In 1997 her research group at IBM Japan put out one of the world’s first browsers specifically made to read aloud the contents of Web pages. And last July, her team released software that helps Web designers figure out how to make their home pages accessible to people with poor or no eyesight.

81． 　

Accessibility is a serious issue. The Internet is becoming an increasingly important source of information and services. For people who are blind, the Internet lets them do things on their own for which they previously needed a lot of help, like going shopping.

82． 　

At age 11, Asakawa accidentally hit her head into the side of a pool while swimming, damaging her optic(视觉的) nerves. Three years later, she was completely blinD．At a vocational school for the blind, Asakawa learned to program in various computer languages. To read code printouts she used a device that translated the code into raised letters sensed with the fingers. It was a struggle, she recalls, “But it was possible.”

83． 　

In the mid-1990s, she began surfing the Internet, using a combination of software that read out what was on the screen. But there were problems: The system only read English. On-screen fill-out forms stumped the reader, and tables with vertical columns came out as gibberish(无意义的声音). Asakawa decided to develop software specifically designed to handle the coding used for Web pages. She inserted aural cues to help browsing, like using a man’s voice for text and a woman’s for links. In 1997 she put out IBM’s first Home Page Reader in Japanese, then in English followed by nine other languages.

84． 　

Asakawa is now doing basic research on using the sense of touch to direct the attention of the blind, as colors do for the sighted．She hopes this kind of research will also be useful for people with normal vision. “Sighted people don’t use the sense of touch very much,” she laughs. “What a waste.”

　　 If your idea of a good time is to sleep in a hut, carry your own rubbish, and eat insects and wild animals, then ecotourism may be just for you. But is it also for people who want to fly over a rainforest sky before checking into a comfortable and expensive hotel in the middle of a national park? Whatever ecotourism is, it is hot--perhaps too hot for its own good.

　　 The World Tourism Organization claims that the industry looked after 592 million travelers last year who spent $423 billion, and of all the types of tourism, ecotourism seems to be the fastest growing. By the broadest measure -- a trip with some sort of nature or wilderness element -- ecotourism already accounts for perhaps a third of these travllers. On a stricter definition favoured by the Ecotourism Society, it is "responsible travel that preserves natural environments and keeps up the well-being of local people," which accounts for no more than 5% of tourism.

　　 Ideally, ecotourism helps both people and nature. Before the disastrous civil war, Rwanda's Mountain Gorilla (大猩猩)Project was one such model. Visits to the gorillas were limited, local guides ensured good behavior or on the part of the humans, and the high admission charge -- $170 a day -- paid for salaries and presentation of the gorillas' living areas. As this made the gorillas worth more alive than dead, poaching (偷猎)decreased．As another example, preservation Cooperation, Africa's largest ecotour operator, uses only local labor, buys products from local farmers, and supports building projects: such as clinics and schools. This contribution to social advance is also good business sense: Projects from which local people benefit directly are less likely to be affected by poaching and theft.　　

　　 Ecotourism's biggest problem is labeling: Going on an ecotour is no guarantee of good ecology. So far, only Australia has an official system to grade tour operators and tourist attractions on the basis of their "greenness". Another issue is how ecotourists damage the environment. Dolphin-feeding, for instance, is innocent and enjoyable, but after too many free meals, the dolphins forget how to catch their own dinners.

　　 Keeping prices high is one way to limit enthusiasm. But measuring the effect of ecotourism on human environments is trickier. It is common, for villagers to see ecotourism as a source of new income. 'Hence, the very tourists who venture in search of traditional cultures end up breaking them up. As ecotourism becomes more popular, it will finally threaten the very things that are good for business.

75．According to the passage, ecotourism may _____ .

　 　 A．harm its own purpose by becoming too popular

　 　 B．save the environment by becoming more popular

　 　 C．harm its own purpose by becoming less popular

　 　 D．save the environment by becoming less popular

76．Within the tourism industry as a whole, ecotourism _____.

　 　 A．has no single, clear definition that would satisfy everybody

　 　 B．has expanded less rapidly than other types of tourism

　 　 C．claims that no comfortable hotels should be used by tourists

　 　 D．most often has a negative effect on local culture

77．Rwanda's Mountain Gorilla Project is a good example because _____.

　 　 A．tourists were free to visit the gorillas whenever they wanted to

　 　 B．local people's attitudes toward animals were not affected

　 　 C．the gorillas were protected from both tourists and local people

　 　 D．the gorillas' living area was modernized because of the high admission

78．_____ most directly benefits the local community.

A．Rwanda's Mountain Gorilla Project

　　 B．Preservation Corporation　

　　 C．Australia's grading system

　　 D．Dolphin-feeding

　79．According to the passage, ecotourism is likely to lead to _____.

　　 A．damage to the environment by wild animals

　　 B．harming the local people's business sense

　　 C．more poaching from protected areas

D．changes in traditional local cultures

(A)

A farmer had some puppies he needed to sell. He painted a sign advertising the pups and set about nailing it to a post on the edge of his yard．As he was driving the last nail into the post, he felt a tug on his coat. He looked down into the eyes of a little boy.

“Mister,” he said, “I want to buy one of your puppies.”

“Well,” said the farmer, “these puppies come from fine parents and cost a good deal of money.”

The boy dropped his head for a moment. Then reaching deep into his pocket, he pulled out a handful of change and held it up to the farmer. “I’ve got thirty-nine cents. Is that enough to take a look?”

“Sure,” said the farmer.

And with that he let out a whistle, “Here, Dolly!” he called.

Out from the doghouse ran Dolly followed by four little balls of fur. The little boy stepped towards the fence. His eyes danced with delight.

As the dogs made their way to the fence, the little boy noticed something else moving inside the doghouse. Slowly another little ball appeared; this one noticeably smaller. Then in a somewhat awkward manner the little pup began running toward the others, doing its best to catch up.

“I want that one,” the little boy said.

The farmer knelt down at the boy’s side and said, “Son, you don’t want that puppy. He will never be able to run and play with you like these other dogs would.”

With that the little boy stepped back from the fence, reached down, and began rolling up one leg of his trousers. In doing so he revealed a steel brace(钢柱) running down both sides of his leg attaching itself to a specially made shoe. Looking back up at the farmer, he said, “You see sir, I don’t run too well myself, and he will need someone who understands.”

The world is full of people who need someone who understands.

It’s fourteen years since I left the Philippines to live with my family in the USA．A month ago, while on summer vacation back in my motherland, I learned a lesson from mosquito (蚊子) bites. Right before leaving Kennedy Airport in New York, my grandma 　50　 　me of the behavior of the native mosquitoes around the 　51　 like me. She said, "There's an old saying-the 　52　 　you stay away from the motherland, the sweeter your blood 　53　 　to the mosquitoes. "Not 　54　 　it, I replied, "Grandma, that's just an old wives' tale!"　

Well, less than a week after my arrival in Manila, I was already carpeted with a 　55__ of mosquito bites. I took many measures to keep myself from being 　56　 　, but they all proved useless.

Late one night in my cousin's home, I couldn't bear the 　57　 　of the bites.

Enviously (妒嫉地) 　60　 　her sleep, I hoped a big mosquito would 　61　 　on her face.　 However, the mosquitoes would just lightly dance around her forehead and fly away quickly, never biting her.
