一、用单词的适当形式完成短文

1. Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word or two words that

best fit each blank.

Back in 2013, the legendary Japanese animator and director Hayao Miyazaki formally announced he would retire and make no more feature-length films 【小题1】(follow) the completion of The Wind Rises. Well, it turns out that you can’t keep a n Oscar-winning artist away from all 【小题2】 he loves. Miyazaki has revealed in a documentary 【小题3】 (air) on Japanese TV that he is now coming out of

retirement to make a new animated feature.

【小题4】 the documentary, Miyazaki said that he was dissatisfied with the 12-minute CGI-animated film Boro the Caterpillar（《毛毛虫菠萝》）he was currently working on and would like to expand it into a feature-length film instead. The film could take up to four years to make, which means Miyazaki would be around 80 years old by the time

it【小题5】(complete). If he sticks to his ideal timetable, it would be finished before the Tokyo Olympic Games.

Little is known about Boro the Caterpillar, other than 【小题6】Miyazaki describes the film as “a story of a tiny, hairy caterpillar, so tiny that it 【小题7】 be easily squished（压坏）between your fingers.” And he has been working on the story for about two decades. The 12-minute Boro the Caterpillar will not be completed for about another year and 【小题8】 (screen) exclusively at the Ghibli Museum, a museum showcasing the work of Studio Ghibli co-founded by Miyazaki.

【小题9】he hasn’t received a green light for the new film,

Miyazaki is seen starting work on animation for the project. He plans to create storyboards（剧情梗概系列图）for about 100 cuts of footage. “I think it’s still better 【小题10】 (die) when you are doing something than dying when you are doing nothing,” he said. This is

Miyazaki—if he wants to make a film, it’s going to get done undoubtedly. There’s no way anyone would turn down another amazing piece of art from the legendary animator.

二、选用适当的单词或短语补全短文

2. Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

The Internet E-commerce and globalization are making a new economic age possible. In the future, capitalist markets will largely be replaced by a new kind of economic system based on 【小题1】relationships, contractual arrangements and access rights.

Has the quality of our lives at work, at home and in our communities increased in direct proportion to all the new Internet

and business-to-business Internet services being introduced into our lives? I have asked this question of hundreds of CEOs and corporate executives in Europe and the United States. Surprisingly, virtually everyone has said, “No, quiet 【小题2】.” They say they are

working longer hours, feel more stressed, are more impatient, and are even less civil in their dealings with colleagues and friends-not to mention strangers. And what’s more revealing, they place much of the blame on the very same technologies they are so 【小题3】 supporting.

The technological leader promised us that access would make life more convenient. Instead, the very technological wonders that were supposed to 【小题4】 us have begun to enslave us in a web of connections from which there seems to be no easy 【小题5】.

If an earlier generation was preoccupied with the quest to

enclose a vast 【小题6】 land, the .com generation, it seems, is

more caught up in the colonization of time. Every spare moment of our time is being filled with some form of commercial connection, making time itself the 【小题7】 of all resources.
