The latest _41_ on superfast broadband delivered by fiber to the home (FTTH) show 18% growth over the last survey compiled in late 2008.The continued growth suggests that the _42_ economic decline has not hit plans to build fiber networks. Sweden _43_ the list of nations applying the technology, with 10.9% of its broadband customers using fiber. Karel Helsen, president of Europes Fiber-To-The-Home Council, said the growth matched predictions that were _44_ when the credit crisis started to make itself felt. “The numbers in 2009 are in line with the latest forecasts,” said Mr. Helsen.By 2012, the FTTH Council expects that 13 million people across 35 European nations will have their broadband delivered by fiber. Such services would start at a speed of 100 megabits per second (mbps), said Mr. Helsen. Around Europe more than 233 projects were underway to lay the fibers that would _45_ homes or buildings to the net, said Mr. Helsen. Many of those, he said, were being operated by local governments or smaller net firms. Local governments were interested in FTTH because of the economic and social _46_ it brought in its wake, said Mr. Helsen.The low delay in high-speed fiber networks made _47_ new uses of broadband, he said. “No delay is very important,” he said, “specifically if you talk about _48_ that are time-dependent such as personal communications, conference calls or video calls where delays cause a lot of trouble.” While early FTTH services were _49_ in cities, said Mr. Helsen, many more were reaching out to rural areas for e-health and e-learning projects.III.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Large companies need a way to reach the savings of the public at large. The same problem, on a smaller_50_, faces practically every company trying to _51_ new products and create new jobs. There can be little prospect of raising the sort of sums needed from friends and people we know. While banks may agree to provide short-term finance, they are generally _52_ to provide money on a permanent basis for long-term projects. So companies turn to public, inviting people to lend them money, or take a share in the business in _53_ for a share in future profits. This they do by _54_ stocks and shares in the business through the Stock Exchange. By doing so they can put into circulation the savings of _55_ and organizations, both at home and overseas. When the saver needs his money back, he does not have to go to the company with whom he originally placed it. _56_, he sells his shares through a stockbroker to some other saver who is seeking to _57_ his money.Many of the _58_ needed both by industry and by each of us are provided by the government or by local authorities.

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 you have just read.(A)A voyaging ship was wrecked during a storm at sea and only two of the men aboard were able to swim to a small, desert-like island. Not knowing what else to do, the two survivors agreed that they had no alternativethan to pray to God.However, to find out whose prayers were more powerful, they agreed to divide the territory between them and stay on opposite sides of the island.The first thing they prayed for was food. The next morning, the first man saw a fruit-bearing tree on his side of the island, and he was able to eat its fruit. But the other mans parcel of land remained barren.After a week, the first man became lonely and decided to pray for a wife. The next day, another ship was wrecked and the only survivor was a woman who swam to his side of the island. But on the other side of the island, there was nothing.Soon thereafter the first man prayed for a house, clothes and more food. The next day, like magic, all of these things were given to him. However, the second man still had nothing.Finally, the first man prayed for a ship so that he and his wife could leave the island, and in the morning he found a ship docked at his side of the island.The first man boarded the ship with his wife and decided to leave the second man on the island, considering the other man unworthy to receive Gods blessings since none of his prayers had been answered.As the ship was about to leave, the first man heard a voice from Heaven booming, “Why are you leaving your companion on the island?”“My blessings are mine alone since I was the one who prayed for them,” the first man answered. “His prayers were all unanswered and so he doesnt deserve anything.”“You are mistaken!” the voice rebuked him. “He had only one prayer, which I answered. If not for that, you would not have received any of my blessings.”“Tell me,” the first man asked the voice, “what did he pray for that I should owe him anything?”“He prayed that all your prayers would be answered.”For all we know, our blessings are not the fruits of our prayers alone, but those of another praying for us. So what you do for others is more important than what you do for yourself.65.The first mans wife is _.A. a swimmer who got to the island by accidentB. an angel sent by God to keep him companyC. a survivor from another wrecked shipD. a native person on the desert-like island66.The underlined word “barren” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _.A. isolatedB. unproductiveC. fertileD. dry67.Which of the following is true about the second man?A.
