I was surprised that it had been taken although 67 there were plenty of fast, more up-to68-date models on the streets, but perhapsI was the only person foolish enough to leave my door unlocking. I wrote 69 the following description: ― My car isa standard 1965 Mini, painted red, number ABC456C. It is in good condition, besides that there is a lot of play(松动) in the 70 steering. In fact I was on my way tothe garage to have the steering be 71 adjusted when the car was stolen. The only accessories are the seat belts alsofor standard make and design. The 72 only distinguished mark that would 73 help you is a scratch on the paintworkabout three inch long just above the left 74 rear wheel. The door on the passenger’s side sticks and does not open properly. But no doubt the thieves will spray it some other color and change the number plates!‖The police reported the next day that they had found the car in a side street three or four miles away. It was not damaged but someone had stricken 75 a note to the windscreen. It read: ― To the owner. If you want to kill yourself with this steering, go away. I’ve got 76 better things to do.‖67. although—because68. fast --- faster69. unlocking --- unlocked70. besides --- except71. be /72. for --- of73. distinguished --- distinguishing74. inch --- inches75. stricken --- stuck76. go away --- go ahead(2)A person who believes that he is incapable will not make a real effort because he feels that it would be useless. He will go at a job with 67 the confidence necessary for success. He is therefore likely to failure, and 68 the failure will strengthen his beliefin his incompetence.Alfred Adler, a famous doctor, had experience to illustrate this. When he69 was a small boy he was poor at arithmetic. His teacher got the idea which he had no ability in arithmetic,70 and told his parents what she thought in order that they would not expect too much from him. By this way, they 71 too developed the idea: ― Isn’t it too bad that Alfred can’t do arithmetic?‖He accepted their mistaken estimateof his ability, feeling that it was 72 useless to try, and was very poor at arithmetic, just as they expected.One day Adler succeeded in solving a problem which none of the other student had been able to solve.This73 gave him confidence. He refused the74 idea that he couldn’t do arithmetic and was determined to show them that he could.His new found confidence stimulated him to go at arithmetic problems with a new spirit. He now worked on interest, determination 75 and purpose and he soon became extraordinary good at arithmetic. 7667. will --- won’t68. failure --- fail69. experience --- an experience70. which --- that71.

Yet not everyone recognize profound 62 effect of psychoanalytic theory in the63 way most of us look at human behavior, regardless of any formal exposure to Freud’s works. For example, most adults in Western society accept the idea that behavior can be influenced by an unconscious part of the mind. We say things like ―I must have done that consciously‖ or ―Even though I did 64 not realize it consciously, maybe unconsciously I did.‖ Although Freud was not the first to talk about the unconscious, no one ago, or probably65 since, has placed so many emphasis 66 upon unconscious processes in explaining human behavior.Do you believe that dreams hold important psychological information, revealing inner fears and desires? If so,you are backing on an idea that 67 Freud popularized.As people had been interpreting 68 dreams for thousands of years, Freud was the first to incorporate dream interpretation into a larger psychological theory. When we talk about our dreams and try to figure it, 69 we are informally following a therapeutic procedure outlining by 70 Feud at the turn of the century.Numerous examples of Freudian thought can be Found in our daily language, as well as in modern literature and in motion pictures. Thus, an understanding of Freudian psychology is part of a good liberal arts education; it can aid the observant student to appreciating subtle and 71 not-so-subtle references.62. recognizes63. in—on64. consciously—unconsciously65. ago – before66. many – much67. on -- /68. as – although69. it – them70 outlining – outlined71. to – in(4)Children born into a Bushman society of South Africa are completely dependent on their family for food. While they are very young, their mother’s milk will be the primary mean of nourishment. Later their62 fathers, uncles, and brothers will supply them by meat, and their mothers, 63 aunts and sisters with wild plant foods. Not until the children are five or six, perhaps more older, will they 64 contribute to the group’s subsistence (生存，口粮) Children live in the camps of their parents until their marry. In theinterim(期间) they learn the rules which they must live. To survive, 65 they must listen well to the elders who have experienced nature andtheir rewards and punishments. 66 Then children grow and develop. They learn that is the job of the 67 males to provide the camp with meat. Skill in hunting is developed by children’s games and by watching and hearing to fathers and uncles. The68 boys also learn that it will be their responsibility as adults to protect their groups off the wrongdoings of other 69 groups.The children learn that the females are the gathers. Roots, nuts, berries, stems, and leaves are collected and brought back for the day’s meal. It is the men who supply the camp with 70 the majorityof the food.

Now he had the capability 1 to leave that planet and move out into the universe to those worlds which he has known previously only directly.2 Men have explored parts of the moon, put spaceships in orbit around anotherplanet and possibly within the decade will land into another planet and 3 explore it. Can we be too bold as to 4 suggest that we may be able to colonize other plant within the not-too–distant 5 future? Some have advocate such a procedure as a solution to the population problem: ship the excess people off to the moon. But we must keep in head the billions of dollars we6 might spend in carrying out the project. To maintain the earth's population at its present level. we would have to blast off into space 7,500 people every hour of every day of the year.Why are we spending so little money7 on space exploration? Consider the 8 great need for improving many aspects of the global environment, one is surely justified in his concern for the money and resources that they are poured 9 into the space exploration efforts.But perhaps we should look at both sides of the coin before arriving 10 hasty conclusions.00.1S1. had→hasS2. directly→indirectlyS3. into→onS4. too→soS5. plant→planets / worldsS6. head→mindS7. little→muchS8.

We asked a lady, who replied that she thought you could tell a well-mannered person on the way they occupied the space S1.___ around them—for example, when such a person walks down a street he or she is constantly unaware of S2.____ others. Such people never bump into other people.However, a second person thought that this was morea question of civilized behavior as good manners.

The American hasn't been told S6.____ very much about the kind of food he might expect. If he had known about American food, he might have S7.____ behaved better. Immediately before him was a very flat piece of bread that looked, to him, very much as a S8.___ napkin. Picking it up, he put it into his collar, so that it falls across his shirt. His Arab host, who had been S9.___ watching, said of nothing, but immediately copied S10._ the action of his guest.

S3.___To understand how this transformation has taken place we must briefly look up at our ancient ancestors. S4.___ They spent over a million year evolving as S5._____co-operative hunters. Their very survival depended on success in the hunting-field. Under this pressure their whole way of life, even if their bodies, became S6.____ radically changed. They became chasers, runners, jumpers, aimers, throwers and prey-killers. They co-operate as skillful male-group attackers.S7.____ Then, about ten thousand years ago, when this S8.____ immensely long formative period of hunting for food, they became farmers. Their improved intelligence, so vital to their old hunting life, were put to a new S9._____ use-that of penning (把…关在圈中), controlling and domesticating their prey.

Some cities have lost their original purpose and have not found new one. And any large or rich city S1.__ is going to attract poor immigrants, who flood in, filling with hopes of prosperity which are then often S2.___ disappointing. There are backward towns on the edge of Bombay or Brasilia, just as though there were on the S3. edge of seventeenth-century London or early nineteenth century Paris. This is new is the scale.

Most experts believe this can continue evenas if the population doubles by the mid-21st century, S5_ although feeding 10 billion people will not be easy for politics, economic and environmental reasons. S6 ___ Optimists point to concrete examples of continued improvements in yield. In Africa, by instance, S7____ improved seed, more fertilizer and advanced growing practices have more than double corn and wheat S8____ yields in an experiment. Elsewhere, rice experts in the Philippines are producing a plant with few stems S9____ and more seeds.
