第二节: 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分, 满分30分）
Travel in most of Europe is easy. An agreement between the 15 European Union countries in 1995 means that citizens from most European countries can travel across borders without needing a visa.
Each of the 12 countries that has 41 its own currency（货币）
to accept the euro has its own 42 . So how have these countries been able to 43 ? And how has each country prepared for the birth of this new currency? Firstly, many people in Europe， 44 in west Europe, speak English. The European Convention on Human Rights says that all people have a 45 to learn and use their traditional language.
But at the European Central Bank in Frankfurt, Germany, the official language for all 46 is English. And every European country requires students to study English for many years at 47 . Other languages may be offered, too. But English is a 48 .
“If I meet someone, I try Spanish. Then I try 49 . And if it’s not 50 , I say “Hello”. That’s the signal, and we communicate no matter what country we come from.” said Maria Ortega, a ski instructor in the Pyrenees, 51 French and Spanish are mainly used.
Each country has its own 52 culture. Though the French may be famous for their 1,000 types of cheese and the Greeks are known to 53 olive oil on everything, most people in Europe like 54 strong coffee on their breakfast table. Another drink is held 55 throughout the continent. Europe’s vineyards（葡萄园）may be famous, but the real drink of Europe is 56 . Europeans consume tons of it.
Football, of course, also helps to 57 all of Europe. Many fans are obsessed（着迷）with 58 and with international stars. David Beckham, of England’s Manchester United, is a hero to Europeans in the same 59 that Michael Jordan is to 60 .

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A
Doctors and scientists have been doing the research for several years and they have found that men and women are exposed differently to environmental risk, and their bodies may respond differently even to the same threats. For instance, the incidence of respiratory（呼吸的）illness is considerably higher among women and children, who are constantly exposed to indoor air pollution, than among men.
There are varieties of threats against both men and women. One of the latest threats to health and social welfare is the spread of HIV/AIDS. Both sexes are affected, but to different extents in different parts of the world. Globally, men account for 52 percent of infected adults. Lack of information among women on how the disease is transmitted makes people confused on the problem in many regions. In sub – Saharan Africa, 55 percent of those infected are women. In this region, women grow most of the food, and women’s agricultural labor often shows the first signs of wider community disruption（破坏）by HIV/ AIDS. For example, in Malawi, Mozambique, Zambia and Zimbabwe where women are responsible for most food production, there has been a progressive shift from maize（玉米）production to less labor–intensive, and less nutritious, cassava（木薯）production to compensate for the labor lost through HIV/ AIDS. Why more women than men in this regions have got infected?
56．Respiratory illnesses among women are higher than among men mainly because .
A．women are weaker B．women grow most products
C．women stay in houses more often D．women always stay with children
57．According to this passage, on an average in the world .
A．more men get infected with HIV/AIDS than women
B．more women get infected with HIV/AIDS than men
C．more children get infected with HIV/AIDS than adults
D．more women and children get infected with HIV/AIDS than men 58．We can infer from the text that, in sub –Saharan Africa, .
A．people are living happily
B．men don’t work at all
C．there are fewer men than women
D．laborers are mainly women
59．The underlined word “shift” probably means .
A．raise B．change C．growth D．lift

Perhaps the best example of sportsmanlike behavior by the Brazilian public was the reaction of the 220,000 football fans who were crowding Maracan Stadium to watch Brazil play the final game of the World Cup against Uruguay. A tie would have given the home team the Jules Rimet Cup. Brazil scored first, but the Uruguayan team fought courageously to tie the game and then went on to score again and became the world champion. Brazilian fans were understandably heartbroken, but there were never any sign of disrespect towards the winners or, perhaps more important, towards the losers.
Brazil’s national team is the only one that has taken part in the final round of all the World Cups up to now, and has managed to win it four times, always abroad. Even when they lose, returning players are welcomed with honor back home, and their efforts, though unsuccessful, are fully recognized by the public. The most recent World Cup competition is a case in point: although deeply disappointed by the performance of their team in the match against France, Brazilians cheered their players. After all, the Brazilian athletes had been able to beat powerful opponents（对手）and win for the sixth time the right to compete in the World Cup final. I can only hope we have better luck next time around, but whatever happens, the team will be warmly supported by all Brazilians. And if China, a rising force in soccer, is not in the final game, we count again on the support of Chinese fans as well.
60．In World Cups ever since, Brazil has .
A．reached the final 10 times
B．competed in the final 4 times
C．won the finals 6 times
D．won the 2nd place twice
61．What was the score between Brazil and Uruguay in the World Cup final this time?
A．1:1. B．0:1. C．1:2. D．1:3.
62．We can infer from the text that .
A．most Brazilian fans have good manners
B．Brazilians’ attitude towards their soccer team is incorrect C．Brazilian athletes are the best
D．Uruguayan players are welcomed no matter how they perform 63．The author hopes that .
A．all Brazilians would support their team
B．Chinese fans will support Brazilian team if it wins
C．Chinese team will have better luck in the World Cup
D．Chinese fans will support Brazilian team
C
The classical study of family size and IQ was conducted in the
Netherlands. It was based on the military（事）examinations of more than 386,000 Dutchmen. Researchers found that the brightest subjects came from the smallest families and had few, if any, brothers and sisters when they were born. Thus the firstborn child in a family of two was usually brighter than the last child in a family.
The effects of family size on intelligence may be explained by what a house full of children does to the home environment. It increases the amount of time a child spends with other children and decreases the amount of parental attention he or she receives. For example, a parent with one restless child is likely to sit and play with the child. The same parent with two or three restless children is more likely to ask them to play with each other. Some psychologists say that when a child interacts （交往）with an adult alone, the child learns more and therefore intelligence is increased. Researchers have also found that parents often expect more from their firstborn, which motivates such children to seek a higher standard.
Not all psychologists agree that firstborns tend to be more intelligent. They say that the data need to be examined more closely for other possible explanations. For example, in industrialized nations most large families come from lower socio – economic backgrounds. Thus environment, not family size or birth order, may be influencing intelligence. On the other hand, there may be genetic variations（基因变异）within families that also explain the cause of differences.
If firstborns have advantages in the area of intelligence, research has also shown that they may be more conforming（墨守成规）and have poorer social skills than their younger siblings （brothers and / or sisters）. Although more research needs to be done in this area, it is clear that such factors as birth order, the order in which boys and girls are born into a family, the number of years that separate siblings probably have an effect on the development of intelligence, personality, and social relationships.
64．The underlined word “subjects”in the 1st paragraph means .
A．branches of knowledge
B．persons chosen to be studied in experiments
C．citizens of a country
D．things talked about in a conversation, discussion or book 65．According to the research, usually the elder in a two –child family is .
A．cleverer than the younger
B．no cleverer than the younger
C．less clever than the younger
D．as clever as the younger
66．Why are firstborns encouraged to seek a higher standard?
A．They are more likely to obey others.
B．Their parents spend less time with other children.
C．They are more conforming.
D．Their parents expect more from them.
67．The best title for this passage would be .
A．Family Size and IQ
B．Boys Cleverer Than Girls?
C．The Development of intelligence
D．Factors Influencing IQ

BALTIMORE – When 15 – year – old Michael Thomas left home for school last May, he couldn’t have been prouder. On his feet, thanks to his mother’s hard work, were a pair of new Air Jordans —＄ 100 worth of leather, rubber and status（身份）that to today’s youth are the Mercedes – Benz of athletic footwear.
The next day it was James David Martin, 17, who was walking down the street in Thomas’ new sneakers, while Thomas lay dead in a field not far from his school. Martin was arrested for murder.
For the Baltimore school system, Thomas’death was the last straw. He was the third youngster to have been killed over his clothes in five years. Dozens of others had been robbed of name brand sneakers, designer jogging suits, leather jackets and jewelry. This fall, the school board announced a dress code（规）preventing leather skirts and jackets, jogging suits, gold chains and other expensive items.
Clothes, said board president Joseph Smith, had just gotten out of hand.
Across the nation, parents, school officials, psychologists and even some children agree.
They say that today’s youngsters, throughout the nation, have become clothes fixated（专注）.They worry about them, compete over them,. Neglect（无视）school for them and sometimes even rob and kill for them.
In many cases, students are so concerned about what they and their classmates are wearing, they forget what they come to school for, educators said.
In response, many public schools, mainly in Eastern cities, have adopted school uniforms to cut down on competition. Educators say, in the current fashion climate, dressing students alike allows them more freedom to be individuals.
68．Why was Michael so proud of himself?
A．His hard – working mother earned a lot of money.
B．He wore expensive clothes worth ＄100.
C．He was in a pair of name brand shoes.
D．He was good at playing basketball.
69．Martin was arrested for .
A．killing Thomas
B．robbing several students
C．stealing expensive things
D．murdering three people for their clothes
70．By saying “Clothes had just gotten out of hand”, the board president meant clothes were
.
A．wasted a lot B．thrown away soon
C．hard to control D．easily worn out 71．According to the text, adopting school uniforms means to .
A．have students wear ordinary clothes
B．make students more competitive
C．keep students more disciplined
D．dress students all alike

In 1985, The Coca – Cola Company made what has been known as one of the biggest marketing mistakes. The Coca –cola Company stumbled onto the new formula （配方）in efforts to produce diet Coke. They put forth 4 million dollars of research to come up with the new formula. The decision to change their formula and pull the old Coke off the market came about because taste tests showed a distinct preference for the new formula. It was a sweeter variation with less tang（浓味）, it was also slightly smoother.
A large contribution to the change was that Coke’s market share fell
2.5% in four years. Each percentage point lost or gained meant 200 million dollars. A financial analyst said, “Coke’s market share fell from 24.3% in 1980 to 21.8% in 1994.” This was the first flavor change since the existence of the Coca –Cola Company. The change was announced on April 23, 1985 at the Vivian Beaumont Theater at the Lincoln Center. Some two hundred TV and newspaper reporters attended this very glitzy announcement. It included a question and answer session, a history of Coca – Cola, and many other elements.
The change to the world’s best selling soft drink was heard by 81%of the U.S. population within 24 hours. Within a week of the change, one thousand calls a day were flooding the company’s eight hundred number. Most of the callers were shocked and/or outraged, many said that they were considering switching to Pepsi. Within six weeks, the eight hundred number was being jammed by six thousand calls a day. The company also fielded over forty thousand letters, which were all answered and each person got a coupon for the new Coke. A retired Air Force officer, explained in a letter to the Coca – Cola Company, that he wanted to be buried in a Coke can, but now that this change had come about he was reconsidering.
72．The text mainly tells us about .
A．different aspects of the diet Coke
B．the Coca – Cola company’s customer service
C．customers’ reaction of the new diet Coke
D．a product change of the Coca – Cola company
73．The test of the new formula .
A．assured the company it will be accepted
B．made a huge profit for the company
C．caused the Coke’s market share to fall
D．pulled the old Coke off the market
74．People called Coca – Cola company mainly .
A．to praise B．to persuade
C．to make complaints D．to make suggestions
75．The retired Air Force officer changed his mind because .
A．new Coke cans are in different designs
B．he dislikes the new taste of diet Coke
C．Coke has become expensive
D．he wanted to try Pepsi instead
