D.FewerornoAmericanathleteswillservedopingdrugsinBeijingOlympics.答案：1-5BCDCD解析：1.本文为一片体育新闻报道。新闻的标题一般出自于文章的首段或首句，后面的叙述都是围绕首段或首句的内容展开论述的。根据首段内容可知，本文应是围绕“塔努不应得到悉尼奥运会百米金牌”这一话题展开论述的。2.本题为细节推理题。根据文中第三内容可知塔努在悉尼奥运会尚没有参加药检，故不应该得到琼斯退还的金牌。3.本题为细节判断题。根据第二段内容可知琼斯在悉尼奥运会上得了3金2铜，故A项错误；根据文中倒数第四段可知B项错误，即美国奥委会还没有退还悉尼奥运会上获得的接力赛金牌；根据第一、三段可知C项错误；文中倒数第四段最后一句表明D项叙述正确。4.本题为细节判断题。根据文中第六、八段可知正确答案为C项。5.本题为推理判断题。A项为错误选项；B、C两项文中没有提到；根据文中最后一段可知D项为正确选项。21.Ilivedin_____

34.never由下文电脑的问话Never?可知。35.between指在病人和电脑这两者之间。36.because因后一分句与前一分句之间是因果关系。37.a表示“每一”。38.as引导非限制性定语从句，表示“正如……的”。39.iscrying医生应当在病人“正在哭时”，递给她手巾。40.why因前面已讲清了原因，要引出结果，用“Thatiswhy…(表语从句表示结果)”。44.同义句转换。在空白处填入适当的短语或分句，完成下列直接引语与间接引语之间的转换。1.Sheasked,"WillyougototheEnglishcornerthisevening?"
