选词填空练习01As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. But relaxation is __1__ for a healthy mind and body.Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to __2__ it. In fact, it is not the bad thing as it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of __3__ that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such __4__ are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at the first sight of __5__ difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both physically and __6__. In fact we make choice between "flight or fight" and in more __7__ days the choices made the difference between life or death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it involves the same __8__. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued __9__ to stress, that health becomes endangered. Since we cannot __10__ stress from our lives it would be unwise to do so even if we could, we need to find ways to deal with it.A)exposure B)characters C)answer D)chemically E)avoidF)psychologically G)primitive H)transfer I)unusual J)controlK)remove L)escape M)response N)backward O)essentialThe typical pre-industrial family not only had a good many children, but numerous other dependents as well---grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins. Such "extended" families were suited for survival in slow paced __1__ societies. But such families are hard to __2__. They are immobile. Industrialism demanded masses of workers ready and able to move off the land in pursuit of jobs, and to move again whenever necessary. Thus the extended family __3__ shed its excess weight and the so-called "nuclear" family emerged-a stripped-down, portable family unit __4__ only of parents and a small set of children. This new style family, far more __5__ than the traditional extended family, became the standard model in all the industrial counties. Super-industrialism, however, the next stage of eco-technological development, __6__ even higher mobility. Thus we may expect many among the people of the future to carry the stream lining process, a step further by remaining children, cutting the family down to its more __7__ components, a man and a woman. Two people, perhaps with matched careers, will prove more efficient at navigating through education and social status, through job changes and geographic relocations, than the ordinarily child-cluttered family. A __8__ may be the postponement of children, rather than childlessness. Men and women today are often torn in __9__ between a commitment to career and a commitment to children. In the future, many __10__ will sidestep this problem by deferring the entire task of raising children until after retirement.A)transplant B)solution C)gradually D)transport E)elementalF)conflict G)continually H)mobile I)couples J)agriculturalk)including L)compromise M)requires N)primary O)consistingVideoconferencing is nothing more than a television set or PC monitors with a camera through the videoconferencing, not only your voice but also your face, the surroundings and any other graphic and physical __1__ can be captured and transmitted through the communication system with or without wires. Of course, when you go into the details, the technology involved is very __2__ and the subject matter littered with jargon. Such as ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network), POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) or the __3__ behind bandwidth, latency and isochrony(等时性) which are used to explain how videoconferencing works. Good people communication is __4__ in any business, and the more interaction you can achieve, the more likely it is that your __5__ will be the right ones. Videoconferencing not only allows you to speak to people in different locations, but also note __6__ expressions and gestures that let you know what the other person is really thinking. Meetings are made more __7__ by sharing documents and computer applications that a simple telephone cannot __8__.__9__, organizations are discovering the competitive advantages and the power of videoconferencing. With advances in performance, economical pricing, the ability to __10__ essential meeting tools and connectivity to global telephone networks and standardized videoconferencing protocols, videoconferencing is now a practical reality for any organization.A) fortunately B) effective C) images D) articulate E) facialF) manage G) decisions H) connect I) advanced J) integrateK) progressive L) concepts M)pictures N) increasingly O) importantNowadays, is it possible to tell a person’s class just by looking at him? Physical details __1__ tell us about health, diet and type of work done. A hundred years ago, the working class often looked unhealthy, small and was either too thin or too fat. The upper classes were often __2__, sporting types who were used to a good diet and looked healthy. Today living and working conditions have improved, and such __3__ would no longer be so true. The clothes people choose to wear, however, do provide information about their __4__. The most obvious way in which is for the amount of money spent on them. Expensive clothes look expensive and show their wearer had money. Clothes can provide other __5__ as well. The upper classes __6__ to be less interested in fashion and wear good quality clothes in non-bright colors, made of natural material like wool, leather or cotton. Lower working class people often choose clothes in bright colors, made of man-made material. A sociological explanation for this would be that color and interest are missing from their lives, and therefore any opportunity to introduce this is __7__.Clothes are __8__ at a price within most people’s reach. New clothes make the wearer feel g ood, and show some __9__ of wealth to the outside world. Today some new fashions are started by the lower working class people who want to look __10__ and feel important. They want people to look at them.A) available B) background C) different D) tall E) totallyF) taken G) descriptions H) degree I) clues J) aloneK) appear L) consider M) full N) hobby O)fetchedIt’s never easy to admit you are in the wrong. Being human, we all need to know the art of apologizing. Look back wi th honesty and think how often you’ve judged roughly, said __1__ things, pushed yourself ahead at the expense of a friend. Then count the occasions when you indicated clearly and __2__ that you were sorry. A bit frightening, isn’t i t? Frightening because some deep wisdom in us knows that when even a small wrong has been committed, some mysterious moral feeling is __3__, and it stays out of balance until fault is acknowledged and __4__ is expressed. I remember a doctor friend, telling me about a man who came to him with a variety of signs: headaches, insomnia and stomach trouble. No __5__ cause could be found. Finally my friend said to the man, "Unless you tell me what’s worrying you, I can’t hel p you."After some hesitation, the man __6__ that, as executor of his father’s will, he had been cheating his brother, who lived abroad, of his __7__. Then and there the wise old doctor made the man write to his brother asking __8__ and enclosing a cheque as the first step in restoring their good relation. He then went with him to mail box in the corridor. As the letter disappeared, the man burst into tears. "Thank you," He said, "I think I’m __9__." And he was. A heartfelt apology can not only __10__ a damaged relationshi p but also make it stronger. If you can think of someone who deserves an apology from you, someone you have wronged, or just neglected, do something about it right now.A)heal B)mental C)unkind D)regret E)accuratelyF)confessed G)inheritance H)physical I)cured J)treatK)truly L)unfaithful M)forgiveness N)disturbed O)excuseWhat determines the kind of person you are? What factors make you more or less bold, intelligent, or able to read a map? All of these are influenced by the interaction of your genes and the environment in which you were __1__. The study of how genes and environment interact to influence __2__ activity is known as behavioral genetics. Behavioral genetics has made important __3__ to the biological revolution, providing information about the extent to which biology influences mind, brain and behavior.Any research that suggests that __4__ to perform certain behaviors are based in biology is controversial. Who wants to be told that there are limitations to what you can __5__ based on something that is beyond your control, such as your genes? It is easy to accept that genes control physical characteristics such as sex, race and eye color. But can genes also determine whether people will get divorced, how __6__ they are, or what career they are likely to choose? A concern of psychological scientists is the __7__ to which all of these characteristics are influenced by nature and nurture(养育), by genetic makeup and the environment. Increasingly, science __8__ that genes lay the groundwork for many human traits. From this perspective, people are born __9__ like undeveloped photographs: The image is already captured, but the way it __10__ appears can vary based on the development process. However, the basic picture is there from the beginning.[A] abilities [B] achieve[C] appeal[D] complaints[E] contributions[F] displayed [G] essentially[H] eventually[I] extent[J] indicates[K] proceeds[L] psychological[M] raised[N] smart[O] standardThe popular notion that older people need less sleep than younger adults is a myth, scientists said yesterday.While elderly people __1__ to sleep for fewer hours than they did when they were younger, this has a(n) __2__ effect on their brain's performance and they would benefit from getting more, according to research.Sean Drummond, a. psychiatrist (心理医生) at the University of California, San Diego, said older people are more likely to suffer from broken sleep, while younger people are better at sleeping __3__ straight through the night.More sleep in old age, however, is __4__ with better health, and most older people would feel better and more __5__ if they slept for longer periods, he said."The ability to sleep in one chunk (整块时间) overnight goes down as we age but the amount of sleep we need to __6__ well does not change," Dr Drummond told the American Association for the Advancement of Science conference in San Diego."It's __7__ a myth that older people need less sleep. The healthier an older adult is, the more they sleep like they did when they were __8__. Our data suggests that older adults would benefit from __9__ to get as much sleep as they did in their 30s.

In Afghanistan, Bosnia, and Colombia, however, groups of children have been taking part in peace education __1__. The children, after learning to resolve conflicts, took on the __2__ of peacemakers. The Children's Movement for Peace in Colombia was even nominated (提名) for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1998. Groups of children __3__ as peacemakers studied human rights and poverty issues in Colombia, eventually forming a group with five other schools in Bogotá known as The Schools of Peace.The classroom __4__ opportunities for children to replace angry, violent behaviors with __5__, peaceful ones. It is in the classroom that caring and respect for each person empowers children to take a step __6__ toward becoming peacemakers. Fortunately, educators have access to many online resources that are __7__ useful when helping children along the path to peace. The Young Peacemakers Club, started in 1992, provides a Website with resources for teachers and __8__ on starting a Kindness Campaign. The World Centers of Compassion for Children International call attention to children's rights and how to help the __9__ of war.

I had been abroad a couple of times, but I could hardly __1__ to know my way around the continent. Moreover, my knowledge of foreign languages was __2__ to a little college French.I hesitated. How would I, unable to speak the language, __3__ unfamiliar with local geography or transportation systems, set up __4__ and do research? It seemed impossible, and with considerable __5__ I sat down to write a letter begging off. Halfway through, a thought ran through my mind: you can't learn if you don't try.

大学英语四级选词填空技巧篇1）阅读选项，词性分类仍然要―先题后文在定位‖，但这里―先题‖不是要找关键词，而是要先对15个选项―辨性‖仔细阅读选项，根据词性把每个单词进行分类归纳。
如名词、动词、形容词、副词、介词、连词各有几个选项。
动词归类要细分为v，ved, ving。
因为一个空可以填动词，但填原形还是过去式还是ing形式要自己根据语法判断。
2）细读首句，抓住中心首先要抓住文章首句，迅速找到文章的主题词或主题。
和完型填空一样，一般文章第一句不设空格，以便让读者知道本文的相关主题词或主题。
3）瞻前顾后，谨慎选择根据文章前后的语法关系判断应填入的词性，大大缩小选择范围。
当一个空可以填入好几个相同词性的词时，则根据上下文逻辑意义；如果均能说得通时，要注意近义辨析。
或留到最后，等范围缩小到最小时再轻松收尾。
即传统阅读所说的，首遍不行无所谓，文章看完再收尾。
解题技巧1）首先要辨性（辨别词性）a. 不认识的单词看词缀（见后面附表）b. 认识的单词要注意词性的单一性和多样性比如：must，most均可做名词do the most you canc. 动词归类要细分为v，ved, ving。
因为一个空可以填动词，但填原形还是过去式还是ing 形式要自己根据语法判断。
甚至动词分词形式还可以做定语。
2）一个单词有多个词性时，要在不同分类中都标出。
3）如果选项中出现一组近义词或反义词时，往往有一个是干扰选项，它注重考察的是词汇的精确理解，要求考生分析清楚其细微的区别。
4）如何判断原文空缺处所需单词的词性：①动词：a）前后都是名词短语，中间一般为动词（时态看前后文）。
b) 一个句子有且只有一个谓语动词c）一个完整的句子之后再跟逗号，后面一般是非谓语动词短语。
②名词：a. 名词主要做主语、宾语。
b. 形容词或名词都可以修饰名词例：The hot, humid (潮湿的) air over the ocean causes severe ___49___ thunderstorms.（49可能是形容词，也可能是名词修饰thunderstorms）c. 限定词（the, this, that, a, my之类）后必有名词d. 谓语动词前必有名词或名词性质的主语e. 介词后面必有名词③. 副词修饰形容词或动词附录：四级常用后缀1. 名词后缀1)-or/er/ess/crat/cis:做某件事情或职业的人或物：worker, debtor2)-acy, 表示―性质，状态，境遇‖ democracy, accuracy, diplomacy3)-ance, -ence表示―性质，状况，行为，过程，总量，程度‖ importance, diligence, difference, obedience4)-ancy, -ency, 表示―性质，状态，行为，过程‖ frequency, urgency, efficiency,5)-bility, 表示―动作，性质，状态‖ possibility, flexibility, feasibility,6)-dom, 表示―等级，领域，状态‖ freedom, kingdom, wisdom7)-hood, 表示"资格，身份, 年纪，状态" childhood, manhood, falsehood8)-ion, -sion, -tion, -ation, -ition, 表示―行为的过程，结果，状况‖ action, solution, conclusion, destruction, expression_r, correction9)-ism, 表示―制度，主义，学说，信仰，行为‖ socialism, criticism, colloquialism, heroism10)-ity, 表示―性质，状态，程度‖ purity, reality, ability, calamity11)-ment, 表示―行为，状态，过程，手段及其结果‖ treatment, movement, judgment, punishment, argument12)-ness, 表示―性质，状态，程度‖四级选词填空解题技巧发表于：2009-6-12 浏览：112 次来源：华浦华浦（Chinatop）教育集团是中国首家致力于提供升学、求职、晋升的教育培训、就业推荐的大型综合性现代教育培训集团，秉承―一站成就梦想‖的办学理念，更以其培养出众多出色的学员而成为全国著名培训机构。

第一篇关于减肥Section ADirections: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line throughthe center. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.Questions 47 to 56 are based on the following passage.Perhaps like most Americans you have some extra pounds to 47 . You may even have tried a fad diet or two, but found yourself right back where you started. The key to weight loss isregular 48 activity. And surprisingly, you don't have to give up eating or make the gym your second home to see long-term, 49 effects.You body needs a certain amount of energy to maintain basic 50 such as breathing, blood circulation and digestion. The energy required to keep your organs functioning is referred to as the resting or basal metabolic rate.Any time you are active, 51 energy is required. It is obtained from glycogen and fat stored in the blood, liver, and muscles. The key to losing weight is to draw on the fat rather than on the carbohydrate reserves.Which of the two energy sources you use depends on the intensity and 52 of your activity. The higher the intensity, the more your body will pull from the stored carbohydrates. The lowerthe intensity, the more your body will 53 on fat as its fuel.Aerobic exercise is most 54 for weight loss. When you perform aerobic activities you 55 contract large muscle groups such as your legs and arms. Walking, running, rollerblading, swimming, dancing, and jumping jacks are all forms of aerobic activity.Surprisingly, if your aerobic activity is low to moderately intense and of long duration, youwill burn more fat than if you had 56 in a short burst of high-intensity exercise. In short, a brisk 30-minute walk will burn fat while a 100-yard sprint will burn glycogen.[A] positive [B]additional [C] duration [D]effective [E] shed[F] physical [G] food [H] functions [I]participated [J] rely[K] cut [L] repeatedly [M] uses [N] little [O] obvious47.

大学英语四级选词填空专项练习Passage 1What is it about Americans and food? We love to eat, but we feel 1 about it afterward. We say we want only the best, but we strangely enjoy junk food. We’re 2 with health and weight loss but face an unprecedented epidemic of obesity(肥胖). Perhaps the 3 to this ambivalence(矛盾情结) lies in our history. The first Europeans came to this continent searching for new spices but went in vain. The first cash crop(经济作物) wasn’t eaten but smoked. Then there was Prohibition, intended to prohibit drinking but actually encouraging more 4 ways of doing it.The immigrant experience, too, has been one of inharmony. Do as Romans do means eating what “real Americans” eat, but our nation’s food has come to be 5 by imports—pizza, say, or hot dogs. And some of the country’s most treasured cooking comes from people who arrived here in shackles.Perhaps it should come as no surprise then that food has been a medium for the nation’s defining struggles, whether at the Boston Tea Party or the sit ins at southern lunch counters. It is integral to our concepts of health and even morality whether one refrains from alcohol for religious reasons or evades meat for political 6 But strong opinions have not brought 7 . Americans are ambivalent about what they put in their mouths. We have become 8 of our foods, especially as we learn more about what they contain.The 9 in food is still prosperous in the American consciousness. It’s no coincidence, then, that the first Thanksgiving holds the American imagination in such bondage(束缚). It’s what we eat—and how we 10 it with friends, family, and strangers—that help define America as a community today.A. answerB. resultC. shareD. guiltyE. constantF. definedG. vanishH. adaptedI. creativeJ. beliefK. suspicious L. certainty M. obsessed N. identify O. ideals Passage 2After the violent earthquake that shook Los Angeles in 1994, earthquake scientists had good news to report: The damage and death toll(死亡人数) could have been much worse. More than 60 people died in this earthquake. By comparison, and earthquake of similar __1__ that shook America in 1998 claimed 25,000 victims.Injuries and deaths were __2__ less in Los Angeles because the quake occurred at 4:31 a.m. On a holid ay, when traffic was light on the city’s highway. In addition, __3__ made to the construction codes in Los Angeles during the last 20 years have strengthened the city’s buildings and highways, making them more __4__ to quakes.In the past, making structures quake-resist-ant meant firm yet __5__ materials, such as steel and wood, that bend without breaking. Later, people tried to lift a building off its foundation, and insert rubber and steel between the building and its foundation to __6__ the impact of ground vibrations. The most __7__ designs givebuildings brains as well as concrete and steel supports, called smart buildings, the structures respond like living organisms to an earthquake’s vibrations. When ground shakes and the building tips forward, the computer would __8__ the building to shift in the opposite direction. The new designs should offer even greater __9__ to cities where earthquakes ofen take place.The new smart structures could be very __10__ to build. However, they would save many lives and would be less likely to be damaged during earthquakes.[A]changes [B]flexible [C]decrease[D]recent[E]push [F]reduce [G]relatively [H]safety [I]resistant[J]expensive [K]force [L]accordingly[M]intensity[N]security [O]opposedPassage 3Wise buying is a positive way in which you can make your money go further. The way you go about purchasing an article or a service can actually 1 you money or can add to the cost. Take the 2 example of a hairdryer. If you are buying a hairdryer, you might think that you are making the 3 buy if you choose one whose look you like and which is also the cheapest 4 price. But when you get it home you may find that it takes twice as long as a more expensive 5 to dry your hair.The cost of the electricity plus the cost of your time could well make your hairdryer the most expensive one of all.So what principles should you 6 when you go out shopping? If you keep your home, your car or any valuable 7 in excellent condition, y ou’ll be saving money in the long run. Before you buy a new 8 , talk to someone who owns one .If you can, use it or borrow it to check it suits your particular purpose. Before you buy an expensive 9 , or a service, do check the price and what is on offer. If possible, choose 10 three items or three estimates.［A］possession ［B］save ［C］best ［D］appliance［E］material ［F］from ［G］simple ［H］with［I］in ［J］element ［K］model［L］item ［M］easy ［N］adopt ［O］reasonable Passage 4There’s no question that the Earth is getting hotter. The real questions are: How much of the warming is our fault, and are we 1 to slow the devastation by controlling our insatiable 2 for fossil fuels?Global warming can seem too 3 to worry about, or too uncertain-something projected by the same computer 4 that often can’t get next week’s weather right. On a raw winter day you might think that a few degrees of warming wouldn’t be such a bad thing anyway. And no doubt about it: Warnings about 5 change can sound like an environmentalist scare tactic, meant to force us out of our cars and restrict our lifestyles.Comforting thoughts, perhaps. Unfortunately, however, the Earth has some discomforting news. From Alaska to the snowy peaks of the Andes the world isheating up right now, and fast. Globally, the 6 is up 1°F over the past century, but some of the coldest, most remote spots have warmed much more. The results aren’t pretty. Ice is 7 , rivers are running dry, and coasts are 8 , threatening communities.The 9 are happening largely out of sight. But they shouldn’t be out of mind, because they are omens of what’s in store for the 10 of the planet.[A]remote [B]techniques [C]consisting [D]rest[E]willing [F]climate [G]skill [H]appetite [I]melting[J]vanishing[K]eroding [L]temperature [M]curiosity[N]changes [O]skillfulPassage 5It seems you always forget—your reading glasses when you are rushing to work, your coat when you are going to the cleaners, your credit card when you are shopping...Such absent-mindedness may be 1 to you; now British and German scientists are developing memory glasses that record everything the 2 sees.The glasses can play back memories later to help the wearer remember things they have forgotten such as where they left their keys. And the glasses also 3 the user to "label" items so that information can be used later on. The wearer could walk around an office or a factory identifying certain 4 by pointing at them. Objects indicated are then given a 5 label on a screen inside the glasses that the user then fills in.It could be used in 6 plants by mechanics looking to identify machine parts or by electricians wiring a 7 device.A spokesman for the project said: "A car mechanic for 8 could find at a glance where a part on a certain car model is so that it can be identified and repaired. For the motorist the system could 9 accident black spots or dangers on the road."In other cases the glasses could be worn by people going on a guided tour, 10 points of interest or by people looking at panoramas where all the sites could be identified.[A] allow [B] instance [C] blank [D] industrial [E] frustrating[F] items[G] indicating [H] highlight [I] user [J] complicated[K] white [L] annoying [M] successful[N] articles[O] simplePassage 6For many environmentalists, the world seems to be getting worse. They have developed a hitlist of our main fears: natural resources are 1 out? the population is ever growing, leaving less and less to eat? species are becoming 2 in vast numbers, and the planet’s air and water are becoming ever more polluted.But a quick look at the facts shows a different picture. First, energy and other natural resources have become more 3 n ot less so, since the book ‘The Limits to Growth’ was published in 1972 by a group of scientists. Second, more food is now produced per 4 of the world’s population than at any time in history. Fewer people are 5 . Third, although species are indeed becoming extinct, only about 0.7% of them areexpected to disappear in the next 50 years, not 25~50%, as has so often been 6 . And finally, most forms of environmental pollution either appear to have been 7 , or are transient –associated with the early stages of industrialization and therefore best cured not by restricting economic growth, but by 8 it. One form of pollution –the release of greenhouse gases that causes global warming –does appear to be a phenomenon that is going to extend well into our future, but its total impact is unlikely to 9 a devastating (令人心神不安的) problem. A bigger problem may well turn out to be an inappropriate response to it.Yet opinion polls suggest that many people nurture the belief that environmental standards are declining and some factors seem to cause this disjunction between 10 and reality.A) pose B) exaggerated C) accelerating D) extinct E) existF) perception G) wealthy H) magnified I) starving J) headK) running L) predicted M) abundant N) conception O) reducing Passage 7EI NIno is name given to the masterious and often unpredictable change in the climate of the world.This strange ___1_____happens every five to eight years.It starts in the PAacific Ocean and is thought to be caused by a failure in the trade winds(信风)，which affects the ocean currents driven by these winds.

The only real winners are those who are happy to be back on the ground with the rest of us.A) desperate B) disappointing C) cruelty D) bankrupt E) fancyF) protects G) altitude H) similarly I) wake J) contestK) object L) worshipping M) dignity N) originally O) protestsPassage 9When Roberto Feliz came to the USA from the Dominican Republic, he knew only a few words of English .Education soon became a __1__. “I couldn’t understand anything,” he said.

”句中有一定的指对关系，故选F。
2. 答案: L 本句和上半句联系较紧，同属于被动语态，因为它们是并列关系，故be动词省略，后直接加动词的过去分词。
经上下文分析后L项适合本空。
3. 答案:B 由转折连词but可知像这样的辩论举行过多项，但是却没有什么新意，故nothing适合本空。
4. 答案: K本空所在的句子各主要成分俱全，能适用于此的只有K，always这个副词。
5. 答案: C in search of为固定搭配，意为“研究，探索”，最符合句意。
6. 答案: J most最高级后修辞形容词，在所有形容词中J项最适合本句，J项是动词原形接ing变为形容词。
7. 答案: M in short表示该句和上句所表达的意思相近，所以不难断这些学生是在寻求seeking学术交流的最可能的途径。
故选M。
8. 答案:H既然是学术交流，那么学术上的活动以及个人的意见都会是exchange 的，故H项符合本空。
9. 答案: N这一空主要是辨析好groups及crowds的意思即可。
crowd指略含拥挤的人群，而group则无此意，故选N。
10. 答案: I 本空可根据后面的选择连词or来选择I项，表示几者中选择一项。
A color of bright sky blue can be seen on many artifacts produced by the Maya people of Central America centuries ago. The unusually durable paint remains mostly unchanged today long after other colors have faded away.“Blue was a very important color for ceremony,” explained Dean E. Arnold, a professor of anthropology at Wheaton College. It was the color of Chaak, the rain god,and represented human sacrifice. When the skies looked cloudless and dry, the Maya occasionally selected an unlucky victim to be painted this color and sacrificed to Chaak in desperate hope that the rains would follow.The composition of Maya blue had remained a mystery until the 1960s, when chemists found out its components: the dye indigo (靛青) and a clay mineral known as palygorskite, which can be melded together by heat to produce the paint.What remained unknown was how the Maya made Maya blue. Was there a paint workshop making it out by the gallon? Or was it a secret recipe held tightly by the priests? An answer comes from a bowl that has been conserved in the Field Museum in Chicago for decades. The three-legged bowl, dating from about 1400, contained some incense that was burned in Maya ceremony. Within the incense were bits of white and blue. The images taken by a microscope showed these to be indigo and palygroskite. Thus the ingredients （成分）could have been heated by the burning of incense and applied to pots and sacrifices. This presumption has yet to be proved.If our society ever needed a reading renaissance (复兴), it’s now the national Endowment for the Arts released “Reading at Risk” last year, a study showing that adult reading _ D)rates ___have dropped 10 percentage points in the past decade, with the steepest drop among those 18 to 24.“Only one half of young people read a book of any kind in 2002.We set the bar almost on the ground.

According to data __ J)released __ last week from the National Centre for Educational Statistic’s long-term trend assessment, the number of 17-year-olds who reported never or hardly ever reading for fun _ C)rose ____ from 9 percent in 1984 to 19 percent in 2004.At the same time, the__ E)percentage __of 17-year-olds who read daily dropped from 31to22.This slow but steady retreat from books has not yet taken a toll on reading ability.

They are put in a position where they can compare themselves with each other in terms of H）academic ability, athletic achievement and many of the extracurricular课外) activities which are part of school life.

What nonsense coeducation makes of the argument that boys are cleverer than girls or vice versa反之亦然）. When L）segregated, boys and girls are made to feel that they are a race apart. In a coeducational school, everything falls into its B）proper place.The greatest contribution of coeducation is M）undoubtedly the healthy attitude to life it encourages. Boys don't grow up believing that women are J）mysterious creatures. Girls don't grow up imagining that men are romantic heroes. Years of living together at school removeillusions of this kind. The awkward stage of adolescence brings into sharp focus some of the physical and D）emotional problems involved in growing up. These can better be G）overcome in a coeducational environment. When the time comes for the pupils to leave school, they are fully prepared to I）enter society as well-adjusted adults. They have already had years of experience in coping with many of the problems that face men and women.All of us ought to be able to brace ourselves for the predictable challenges and set backs that crop up in our everyday life.
