一、补全短文
1. 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange or red ? If you do , you must be an optimist , a leader , or an active person who enjoys life , people and excitement . Do you prefer gray or blue ? 71 If you love green , you are strong-minded and determined . 72 At least this is what psychologists tell us , and they should know , because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference , and the effect that colors have on human beings.
73 A yellow room makes us feel more cheerful and more comfortable than a dark green one , and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day . 74 Light and bright colors make people not only happier but also more active . It is a fact that factory workers work better , harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or dark gray .
Remember , then , that if you feel low , you can always brighten your day or your life with a new shirt or a few colorful things . 75 And don’t forget that anyone can guess about your character when you choose a piece of handkerchief or a coat.
A. You wish to succeed and want other people to see you are successful .
B. Remember also that you will know your friends and your enemies better when you find out what colors they like and dislike.
C. No one can choose his color preference in his life .
D. Color preference can help you see through your enemies.
E. Different colors have different effects.
F. On the other hand , black is depressing.
G. Then you are probably quiet , shy and you would rather follow than lead.
2. Going to college is a new experience full of excitement of the unknown.Socialization is a big thing for college students and it is common to feel a little uncomfortable going into a situation where everyone is a stranger.You may probably miss your friends from high school.1 College is a great opportunity to make new lifelong friends.The question is: how ?
▲ Get to know your roommate.
You may find you have lots of things in common with your roommate, but even if you are completely different from each other, with a little effort and understanding the two of you may become best friends.
▲ 2
If you leave your door open, this shows that you welcome visitors.As a result people will naturally stop in and say hello.Closed doors are not likely to bring many visitors and those who stay locked up in their rooms may give others the impression of being cold.Other students will be less likely to stop in and build a new friendship.▲Join clubs or organizations.
Getting involved in organized socialization is a great way to meet new people.3 By staying active in college groups such as clubs and organizations you can meet lots of people with whom you share common interests.
▲Talk to classmates.
4 Starting conversations in class is a great opportunity to meet people who are interested in the same kind of studies as you are.Short friendly discussions can build lifelong friendships.
▲Try out for a sport.
If you're athletic, trying out for a sport will do for you the same thing that joining a club will do. 5
A.Close the door to keep away from theft.
B.Hang a welcome sign on your dorm room.
C.It also helps you get more familiar with the campus.
D.Your roommate is the first person you will have close contact with.
E.You will instantly meet a large group of people who share your interests in sports.
F.Get to know your classmates as you'll be spending several months with them.
G.Trying actively to find new friends can help ease the feelings of being lonely.
3. Hospital emergency rooms treat injured fingers all the time.Without treatment, a bad cut can lead to permanent damage.But how should a person know when a bleeding cut is serious enough to require medical attention?
Here are some tips from Dr.Martin Brown, chairman of the department of emergency at Inova Alexandria Hospital in Virginia.
1.Laceration (裂口)
The medical term for a cut or tear in the skin is a laceration.【小题1】A long cut on a finger can likely be treated without a visit to a doctor if the wound is not very deep.However, if you have a short but deep laceration, you will need professional attention,
2.Fingertips cut off
Some injuries, like a fingertip that gets cut off, might even need surgery (外科手术)to repair.【小题2】More often, cutting down the bone is what is done because reattaching a fingertip is often not successful.3.Bleeding
【小题3】Small cuts usually produce what is known as venous (静脉的)bleeding.This means the blood flows steadily from the injury.The bleeding will often stop when pressure is put on the wound.In most cases holding direct pressure with a clean cloth for four to five minutes would do. But if a cut appears to be pumping blood out with some force, this may be a sign of arterial (动脉的)bleeding.__【小题4】_
Finally, always keep this in mind: even a cut that does not require medical attention must be kept clean to prevent infection.Small cuts should be cleaned gently with clean water._【小题5】Then cover it with a clean, dry bandage.
A.How a wound bleeds can be a sign of how serious it is.
B.That requires a specialist to either cut down the bone or reattach the fingertip.
C.This kind of injury should be treated by a medical professional as soon as possible
D.The first signs of this disease include difficulty opening the mouth.
E.Use a washcloth to clean the area if the wound is dirty.
F.With a cut finger, holding the hand above the heart can reduce the loss of blood.
G The length is usually not as important as the depth.
4. What should you think about in trying to find your career(职业)? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. 1 A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. 2 So it is important to do well at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong or weak subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. 3 Knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.
4 If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.
Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. 5 Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.
A.He may do well in his future work.
B.It is better to face any weaknesses than to pretend they do not exist.
C.Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value.
D.These may show strengths(优势)that you can use in your work.
E. Your school must have taught you the skills.
F. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work.
G. If you have had a part-time job on Saturday or in the summer, think what you gained from it.

17. How often do you le t other people’s nonsense change your mood? Do you let a bad driver, impolite waiter,rude boss,or an insensitive employee 1 your day?
One day I was in a taxi and we headed 2 the airport. We were driving in the 3 lane when suddenly a black car drove out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his 4 ,slide sideways,and at the very last moment our car stopped and 5 the other car by just inches!The driver of the other car looked around and started 6 at us.
My taxi driver just 7 and waved at the guy. And I mean he was really 8 . So I asked,"Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!” This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call “The Law of the Garbage Truck”. He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of 9 , full of frustration,full of anger,and full of disappointment. As their garbage 10 up,they need a place to dump it and sometimes they’ll dump it on 11 .Don’t ta ke it personally. Just smile, wave,wish them well,and move on.
Believe me. You’ll be 12 .Don’t take their garbage and 13 it to other people at work,at home,or on the streets. Life’s too short to wake up in the morning with14 .The mark of your success is how quickly you can refocus on what’s 15 in your life. Roy Baumeister,a psychology researcher from Florida State University,found in his extensive research that you 16 bad things more often than good things in your life. You store the bad memories more easily, and you 17 them more frequently.
So…Love the people who treat you right. Ignore the ones who don’t. Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you 18 it!
When you follow “The Law of the Garbage Truck”,you take back control of your life. You make room for the good by 19 go of the bad. Have a Garbage-Free Day!Have a marvelous,garbage-free day!The seeds you plant today 20 the harvest you reap tomorrow.

18. The Ministry of Education has spared no efforts to bring on IT learning. What is its main aim? Is it to teach students how to learn the computer or is it meant to change the usual method of teaching in order to 1 students’ strong interest in computers?
Teaching students computer knowledge and skills is different 2 giving class lessons through the use of computers. And schools are beginning to pay much attention to using computers to teach students. There is 3 about the fact that IT learning plays an important role as a new teaching tool in this day of technology.
4 5 whether they can make use
of computers effectively.
Let’s take the subject of Chinese as an example and see 6 difficulties the experts face in their IT management. At present,20 percent of lessons are given with the help of computers. In other words, in a period of 10 weeks, a Chinese-language teacher must spend two weeks to teach the subject 7 .In carrying out such a major policy as IT learning, the experts should know the 8 that different teachers teaching different subjects have different demands, thus making it 9 to see the policy through.
Some teachers, having already got some computer knowledge, will still be forced to 10 the training courses with those who have zero knowledge about computer.
Another problem is that new teachers may be sent to work in schools 11 IT learning has just started. All teachers—including the seniors who are very 12 in teaching, but who suddenly have no idea what to do when it comes to computers will have to 13 from the very beginning. They will become 14 and their teaching performances may be badly affected. The experts have found out how much of each subject is taught by computers in every school, and have 15 all schools to complete the given work. A hard-pressed teacher may put the daily teaching 16 or the courses onto the computer just to order the required time for IT learning and then 17 the usual way. Furthermore, he may leave school work to his 18 through the computer before class comes to an end in order to “complete” his IT learning19 . 20 the teaching of the Chinese language is concerned, do computer lessons really achieve the desire goals to raise the students’ level of Chinese, pass on common values and so on? I am not so sure.
1.A.show B.be C.match D.have

21. The house itself had been sold that morning. Now it was the turn of the contents. The crowd of dealers, collectors, bargain-hunters and plain sale-goers walked about examining this and that and generally having a last look round before the excitement of the sale. Every piece was numbered and listed, and everyone had a copy of the list. The sale was to take place in the largest room, the sitting room, which had been prepared. A few people were already waiting there.
The room was half full of chairs. These carried the highest numbers, so that they could be put to ordinary use till near the end. In front of the fireplace stood the salesman's desk, a box-like piece of furniture with four steps. At work, the salesman stood a meter above everyone. He was trained to notice the slightest movement of a hand, an eye, or even an eyebrow, any of which might signal a bid. Beside the desk were a table and two chairs for the clerk and the cashier. Many of the sale goods were already here, some from the bedrooms looking out of place.
Almost in the middle stood a big kitchen table covered by a blanket. The salesman came in and climbed on to his stand. His assistants followed him in and took their places.
“Ladies and gentlemen, ”the salesman said, “I have been informed to tell you that everything m ust be sold this afternoon. No price is too low or too high for anything, but a price I must have for everything. We are now ready to begin, and we do so with Lot Number One …”At this point two strong-looking men lifted on to the central table a large wooden chest. It seemed too big for a modern house.
“Lot Number One is an oak chest. Now what am I bid for this fine old chest? Do I hear £20? No? £10 then. Do
I hear £10? Come along, ladies and gentlemen, this chest is solid oak. The wood alone is worth £40, so make me an offer for Lot Number One, just to get us started. ”His eyes swung round the room.
“One pound, ”a woman's voice called.
“One pound I'm bid, ”said the salesman eagerly, “for this splendid chest. Any advance on £1 now? One pound I'm bid. Do I hear two? No? Going at one pound then. No advance on £1? Going at £1. One pound. ”He brought his wooden hammer down sharply on to his desk. Sold for £1 to Mrs. Duke.
Mrs. Duke is a dealer in second-hand furniture.
1. The pieces sold last were ________.
A. the chairs
B. those at the highest prices
C. the biggest things
D. those with the lowest numbers
2. What use was made of the kitchen table?
A. The salesman stood on it to conduct the sale.
B. It was where the clerk and the cashier worked.
C. It served as the stand for the things being sold.
D. Two men sat on it during the business.
3. As it is used in the text, the term “a bid” refers to _______.
A. the present value of an article
B. the agreed price of an article
C. the added value of an article
D. the price offered for an article
4. Why do you suppose Mrs. Duke wanted Lot Number One?
A. Because it was low in price.
B. She hoped to sell it for a nice profit.
C. She bought it in order to start the sale.
D. Because she is a collector of old oak chests.
22. Not all bodies of water are so evidently alive as the Atlantic Ocean, an S-shaped body of water covering 33 million square miles. The Atlantic has, in a sense, replaced the Mediterranean as the inland sea of Western civilization. Unlike real inland seas, which seem strangely still, the Atlantic is rich in oceanic liveliness. It is perhaps not surprising that its vitality has been much written about by ancient poets.
“Storm at Sea”, a short poem written around700, is generally regarded as one of mankind’s earliest artistic representations of the Atlantic.
When the wind is from the west
All the waves that cannot rest
To the east must thunder on
Where the bright tree of the sun
Is rooted in the ocean’s breast.
As the poem suggests, the Atlantic is never dead and dull. It is an ocean that moves, impressively and endlessly. It makes all kinds of noise—it is forever thundering, boiling, crashing, and whistling.
It is easy to imagine the Atlantic trying to draw breath—perhaps not so noticeably out in mid-ocean, but where it meets land, its waters bathing up and down a sandy beach. It mimics(模仿) nearly perfectly the steady breathing of a living creature. It is filled with symbiotic (共生的) existences, too: unimaginable quantities of creatures, little and large alike, mix within its depths in a kind of oceanic harmony, giving to the waters a feeling of heartbeat, a kind of sub-ocean vitality. And it has a psychology. It has personalities: sometimes peaceful and pleasant, on rare occasions rough and wild; always it is strong and striking.
1. Unlike real inland seas, the Atlantic Ocean is______.
A. always energetic
B. lacking in liveliness
C. shaped like a square
D. favored by ancient poets
2. What is the purpose of using the poem “Storm at Sea” in the passage?
A. To describe the movement of the waves.
B. To show the strength of the storm.
C. To represent the vitality of the ocean.
D. To prove the vastness of the sea.
3. In the last paragraph, the Atlantic is compared to______.
A. a beautiful and poetic place
B. a flesh and blood person
C. a wonderful world
D. a lovely animal

24. Kincaid looked at his watch: eight-seventeen. The truck started on the second try, and he backed out, shifted gears, and moved slowly down the alley under hazy sun. Through the streets of Bellingham he went, heading south on Washington 11, running along the coast of Puget Sound for a few miles, then following the highway as it swung east a little before meeting U.S Route 20.
Turning into the sun, he began the long, winding drive through the Cascades. He liked this country and felt impressed,stopping now and then to make notes about interesting possibilities for future expeditions or to shoot what he called “memory snapshots.” The purpose of these causal photographs was to remind him of places he might want to visit again and approach more seriously. In later afternoon he turned north at Spokane, picking up U.S Route 2, which would take him halfway across the northern United States to Duluth, Minnesota.
He wished for the thousandth time in his life that he had a dog, a golden retriever, maybe, for travels like this and to keep him company at home. But he was frequently away; overseas much of the time and it would not be fair to the animal. Still, he thought about it anyway. In a few years he would be getting too old for the hard fieldwork. “I must get a dog then.” He said to himself.
Drives like this always put him into a sentimental mood. The dog was part of it. Robert Kincaid was alone as it’s。
