高中英语外刊--语法填空46篇(学生版)-尖子生必备

Language often seems so skillfully...Language often seems so skillfully (1) (draft) that one can hardly imagine it as anything (2) (此题2空)the perfected handiwork of a master craftsman. How else could this instrument make so much out of barely three dozen measly morsels of sound? In themselves, these configurations (构造) of mouth----p,f,b,v,t,d,k,g,sh, a,e and so on---- (3) (amount) to nothing more than a few haphazard(随意的) spits and splutters, random noises with no meaning, no ability to express, no power to explain. But run them through the cogs and wheels of the language machine, and (4) ( let) it arrange them in some very special orders, and there is nothing (5) these meaningless streams of air cannot do: from sighing the interminable boredom of existence to (6) ( unravel) the fundamental order of the universe. (7) ( extraordinary) thing about language, however, is that one doesn’t have to be a genius to set its wheels in motion. The language machine allows just about everybody----from pre-modern foragers(搜寻食物的人) in the subtropical savannah, to post-modern philosophers in the suburban sprawl---- (8) ( tie) these meaningless sounds together into an infinite variety of subtle senses, and all apparently without the slightest exertion. Yet it is precisely this deceptive ease which makes language a victim of its own success, since in everyday life its triumphs are usually taken for granted. The wheels of language run so smoothly that one rarely bothers (9) ( stop) and think about all the resourcefulness and expertise that must (10) ( go) into making it tick. Language conceals art.Changxing IslandWhat is the closest island to Shanghai? If you answer “ Chongming Island”, then you are wrong. It should be Changxing Island, (1) is located between Congming Island and Pudong New District. As to administration(行政管理), it (2) (belong)to Baoshan District. With a large area of forests and fresh air, this island enjoys reputations of “Clean Island” and “Longevity Island”. Its unique natural environment and rich natural resources make Changxing Island’s tourism industry fully (3) (develop).There are many places of interest there, such as Shanghai Orange Grove, Mongolian Village Race Track, Hanging Beads Park (Chuizhu Y uan), Shanghai Stunt Center, Xianfeng Resort, and etc. Travelers can take bus No.5, 51, 116, 522, 728, 848 and 849 to Wusong dock (4) you can take a ship to Changxing Island. Travelers can also take Shenchong (Line 2) Shuttle Bus, (5) o perating hour is from 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. to Changxing Island. If travelers prefer toreach the island with their own cars, ferries which can carry cars should be a great choice. Changxing Island, also known as “the Hometown of Oranges” is a great place for vacation. Once you and your family members or friends reach the island, you can drive to the Orange Grove Resort to enjoy (6) The oranges grown in the grove looks bright and smooth, and they are very juicy and sweet. Once in late autumn season, golden oranges hanging on the branches look very tempting. The thousand acres of oranges there (7) give a total production of 1.75 million kilograms annually. Another place famous for oranges is Shanghai Orangerie Resort located in Qianwei Farm, in the central part of Changxing Island. (8) the 1980s, the Orange Art Festival has been held on this farm each autumn, attracting tens of thousands of admiring visitors.(9) being the famous “orange town”, Changxing Island is a great place for visitors to enjoy rafting or going to the riverside to enjoy the wonderful scene written in a poem by Wang Bo, (10) famous poet in Tang Dynasty.Hot Drinks Linked to CancerNext time you make yourself a hot cup of tea or coffee, you might want to let it cool down a bit before drinking. Researchers say letting your hot drinks cool off (1) help you avoid some kinds of cancer. In fact, the United Nations' cancer research agency decided (2) (list) hot drinks with lead, gasoline and exhaust fumes as "possibly carcinogenic." In other words, each one could cause cancer. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) is part of the World Health Organization (WHO). The IARC published the findings in the medical journal Lancet Oncology. Researchers at IARC found evidence that drinks at temperatures above 65 degrees Celsius, when (3) (swallow), can cause cancer of the esophagus.The researchers examined findings from other studies (4) t ea and coffee were often served at 70 degrees Celsius or above. Those studies were completed in Iran, China and South America. In developed countries, health experts (5) (link) esophageal cancer to smoking and alcoholic drinks in many studies. However, this form of cancer is (6) ( common) in areas where people drink beverages at very high temperatures.In Europe and the United States, many people drink coffee and tea at temperatures around 60 degrees Celsius. And they often add milk which lowers the temperature considerably. (7) tea-drinkers in Iran and maté-drinkers in South America often enjoy their beverages at closer to 70 degrees Celsius. Maté is a tea-like brew made by (8) (steep) the leaves of the yerba mate plant in near-boiling water.The researchers note that South Americans not only drink their maté very hot, they also drink it through a metal straw. This sends the scalding liquid directly (9) the throat. The findings, however, are good news for coffee drinkers.In 1991, the World Health Organization listed coffee as "possibly carcinogenic." WHO officials have since changed their position on that listing. They now suggest that the temperature of your hot drink is a greater risk factor than the actual drink itself.Christopher Wild is the director of the IARC. When he spoke with the AFP news agency, he said the results "suggest that drinking very hot beverages is one probable cause of esophageal cancer and that it is the temperature, (10) (此题2空) the drinks themselves, that appears to be responsible." The National Coffee Association called the change "great news for coffee drinkers." But how common is esophageal cancer? Worldwide, it is the eighth most common cancer. Cancer of the esophagus killed about 400,000 people in 2012.McDonald’s Szechuan Sauce Will Return This WinterLate Sunday, McDonald’s released a statement promising to bring back the limited-edition sauce again at a date to be determined.“Yesterday, we were truly surprised at the (1) (amaze)curiosity and passion that the community showed to welcome back Szechuan Sauce, (2) (此题两空)it was just for one day.” the company said in a statement. “And our super-limited batch(批次), though well-intentioned, clearly was far from enough (3) (meet) customers’ demands.” (4) (announce)that it was going to “make this right”, McDonald’s promised that this dipping sauce would return in a great quantity in the near future. “We’re bringing more, a lot more, (5) (此题两空)Szechuan Sauce(四川辣酱)will be available to any fan at a nearby McDonald’s,” the company said.McDonald’s Szechuan sauce, (6) was a limited edition condiment tied to the release of Disney’s famous cartoon Mulan in 1998, has seen its profile rise thanks to Rick & Morty, a cartoon sci-fi sitcoms(情景剧) made by The Adult Swim series (7) the main character complaint about the unavailability of Szechuan Sauce. That led (8) McDonald’s later promise to bring back this weekend. The only problem was (9) demand exceeded(超过)supply, which made many Rick & Morty fans angry.“I personally thought it was a sauce that was trying too hard in a world where with McNuggets sauce you just want something to taste like honey or like a BBQ sauce,” co-creator Dan Harmon told about the sauce. “It was (10) sauce that was trying to prove it was different and it tasted much better than an ordinary sauce should be.”Overweight Asian-Americans Seen More AmericanWhat does an American look like? Nearly 1,300 Americans, mostly college students, were asked that question for a recent study in Psychological Science. They were shown pictures of people and asked by University of Washington researchers who looked American to them. (1) Over-weight Asian-Americans were more likely to be seen as Americans than normal weight Asian-Americans, the researchers said. Researchers who worked on the study believe this all fits into common stereotypes. (2) And one common stereotype is that Asians are thin and most Americans are heavy, the researchers said. Sapna Cheryan is a co-author of the study. She also teaches psychology at the University of Washington. She said the findings show an unusual benefit for overweight Asian-Americans. She noted that overweight people often face discrimination. But Cheryan said that being overweight makes Asian-Americans seen more American. That makes them less likely to face discrimination directed at those believed to be foreign, she said. Cheryan said her interest in ethnic and racial stereotypes goes back to her youth in Urbana, Illinois. She is Indian-American and remembers people would praise her mother because she "spoke English so well." It was as if they did not expect a woman who appeared to come from a foreign country to speak English, she said. Cheryan also remembers worrying when friends would come over to her house. She was embarrassed that her family served Indian food. The food seemed "different" compared to American favorites such as pizza and Doritos.The research on how people see Asian-Americans is a follow-up of her 2011 research. It found Asian-Americans were three times as likely to order American food after being asked if they spoke English than if they had not been asked that question. " (3) " Cheryan said. This is not always a good thing for Asian-Americans. She notes that traditional American food often contains more calories and fat than many Asian dishes.The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 34.5 percent of white Americans are considered obese, or very overweight. For Asian-Americans, the percentage is 11.7 percent. For African-Americans, the percentage of obesity is 48 percent and for Latino Americans, the percentage is 42.5 percent. The new University of Washington study showed people photos of people from different racial and ethnic groups to see if weight influenced their opinions. Among the questions asked: "How likely is this person to have been born outside the U.S? Another, "How likely is it that this person's native language is English?"Weight did make a difference in how people decided whether Asian-Americans were Americans. Those questioned by the University of Washington researchers also looked at pictures of Latinos, whites and African-Americans.(4) This supported their opinion that people believed to be from foreign countries where people are believed to be mostly thin are considered more likely to be American if they are overweight.The researchers noted that many Americans believe Latinos are overweight. As a result, overweight Latinos are not seen as more likely to be Americans -- as was the case with Asian-Americans.A. A stereotype is a belief, often untrue, that many have about a group of peopleB. The suggestion is that maybe people avoid foods that are stereotypical of their ethnic group so that they would fit in betterC. The researchers found that weight did not influence whether they saw whites, African-Americans and Latinos as being AmericansD. The most surprising answer was how people saw Asian-AmericansE. Most Asian-Americans answer the question without hesitationF. Some stereotypes derive from discrimination against certain groupRunning in Cold Weather Improves PerformanceCold weather during winter months may keep many people from leaving home and running in the open air. However, a new study shows that the drop in temperature is a good reason to run. In fact, researchers say, running in cold weather helps improve one's performance.Many people say running in the winter can be difficult. Two reasons are the low temperatures and bitter winds. Yet many runners might find it easier than running in hot weather. That could be (1) lower temperature reduce stress on the body. When you run in cold weather, your heart rate and the body's dehydration levels are lower than in warmer conditions. The body needs less water on a cold day than in warm weather.This information comes from sports scientists at St. Mary's University in London. John Brewer is a professor of (2) (apply) sport science at St. Mary's. For this study, he and other researchers put a group of people into a room they called an "environmental chamber." The researchers then recreated summer and winter weather conditions in the room. The test subjects (3) (ask) to run 10,000 meters under both conditions. Brewer says he and his team recorded biological measurements of the runners. "We've got a group of subjects into the environmental chamber, we've changed the conditions (4) (replicate) the summer or winter and we've got them to run a 10k under both of those conditions and taken various measurements on each runner whilst they've been completing their 10k."Brewer says every movement runners make produces heat. He explains that one way in which we lose heat is by sweating. "That heat builds up in the body and can be really damaging (5) you can lose that heat. One of the mechanisms by which we lose heat is through sweating, but we also lose heat by transporting the blood to the surface of the skin (6) it can lose heat out into the external environment. Now, that puts more strain on the heart, particularly in hot conditions because it's much harder to lose heat when the external environment is warm as well."And that increased strain, adds Brewer, can be considerable. Running in higher temperatures results in faster heart rates."We found, for example, that heart rates were about 6 percent higher in the hotter conditions.We found that the runners dehydrated by around 30, 38 percent more in (7) hotter conditions. And they found it about 30 percent easier -- the test of their thermal regulation, how they felt, (and) their perception of heat -- was around a third lower when they were running in cold conditions."The body does not have to work as hard to pump blood to the skin's surface. Brewer says that means running in cooler temperatures requires less energy. He adds that serious runners could cut valuable seconds (8) their personal best times by choosing to run in the winter."If you look at top-level sports, if you look at the likes of Mo Farah running 10Ks and winning world and Olympic championships; the difference between success and failure is seconds, and it's certainly not minutes. We can be very confident that in cooler conditions you can certainly slice a decent percentage of time off your personal best."Several websites note that (9) (important) thing for people who run in cold conditions is to wear the right clothing. Keeping as dry as possible is the key issue when exercising in low temperatures. Wear mittens on your hands (10)(此题2空)gloves. Wear shoes that will keep you from falling. And especially, wear more than one layer of clothing to keep sweat away from your skin. So, if you are a runner, don't let winter weather keep you indoors. Simply get ready for the low temperatures and start running.Fruits, Vegetables Can Lower Blood PressureWe may not need another study telling us that fruits and vegetables are good for our bodies. But research and studies can help us to understand how foods affect our bodies in good ways and bad.Researchers at the University of Southern California's Keck School have found (1) great reason to eat more fruits and vegetables. They say that potassium-rich foods like sweet potatoes, avocados, spinach and bananas could help to lower your blood pressure. High blood pressure, (2) hypertension, is an international problem. Experts at the World Health Organization say more than one billion people suffer from high blood pressure. The condition causes 51 percent of deaths (3) stroke and 45 percent of deaths due to heart disease. Health officials in the U.S. say heart disease and stroke together kill more Americans each year than any other cause. Years of research (4) (link) sodium, or salt,intaketo increased blood pressure. So, officials advise people to use salt in moderation. Experts at the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say Americans get most of their sodium -- about 75 % -- from processed foods and eating at restaurants.This is a good reason to eat fresh food (5) (prepare) at home. Alicia McDonough is a professor of cell andneurobiologyat the Keck School of Medicine. She led this recent study. McDonough says that eating less sodium is a well-known way to lower blood pressure. But she also says evidence suggests that eating more potassium may have an equally important effect on hypertension.For her research, she examined studies that looked atthe link between potassium and sodium.McDonough found that people who ate more potassium generally had lower blood pressure unconnected to how much sodium they ate. Her research suggests that the body does creates a balance, using sodium to control potassium levels in the blood. "When dietary potassium is high," she says, "kidneysexcretemore salt and water, (6) increases potassium excretion." This process cleans the kidneys. She explains that as humans evolved, they ate a diet rich in potassium, but low in sodium. This has lead us tocravesodium, not potassium." (7) you eat a typical Western diet," she says, "your sodiumintakeis high and your potassium intake is low." She adds that this greatly "increases your chances of (8) (develop) high blood pressure."McDonough published her study in the April 2017 issue of theAmerican Journal ofPhysiology-EndocrinologyandMetabolism. Health experts at the CDC agree that "eating enough potassium each day can help balance out some of the harmful effects that high sodium intake can have on blood pressure." (9) they also say that eating less sodium is important as well. On its website, the CDC lists these fruits and vegetables -- and other foods -- as being good sources of potassium. But how much potassium should we eat each day? A 2004 study by the Institute of Medicine shows adults (10) eat about 4.7 grams of potassium a day to lower blood pressure. McDonough says eating about 60 grams of beans would provide 50 percent of that.What you can learn from Einstein’s quirky habitsLike it or not, our daily habits have a powerful impact on our brains. Many of the world’s most brilliant scientific minds were also fantastically weird. From Pythagoras’ outright ban on beans to Benjamin Franklin’s naked ‘air baths’, the path to greatness is paved with some truly peculiar habits. But what if these are more than superficial facts? Scientists are increasingly realizing that intelligence is less about sheer genetic luck than we tend to think. According to the (1) (late) review of the evidence, around 40% of what distinguishes the brainiacs from the blockheads in adulthood is environmental. Like it or not, our daily habits have a powerful impact on our brains, shaping their structure and changing the way we think.Of all history’s great minds, arguably the master of combining genius with unusual habits was Albert Einstein – so what better person to study for clues to mind – enhancing behaviors to try ourselves? He taught us how to squeeze energy out of atoms, so maybe, just maybe, he might be able to teach us a thing or two about how to squeeze the most out of our tiny mortal brains. Could there be any benefits in (2)(follow) Einstein’s sleep, diet, and even fashion choices?GOOD SLEEPIt’s common knowledge that sleep is good for your brain – and Einstein took this advice (3)(seriously) than most. He reportedly slept for at least 10 hours per day – nearly one and a half times as much as the average American today (6.8 hours). But can you really slumber your way to a sharper mind? The author John Steinbeck once said: “It is a common experience that a problem difficult at night is resolved in the morning (4) the committee of sleep has worked on it.” Many of the most radical breakthroughs in human history, including the periodic table, the structure of DNA and Einstein’s theory of special relativity, have supposedly occurred while their discoverer was unconscious. The latter came to Einstein while he was dreaming about cows being electrocuted. But is this really true?DAIL Y WALKBesides, Einstein’s daily walk was sacred to him. While he was working at Princeton University, New Jersey, he’d walk the mile and a half journey there and back. He followed in the footsteps of (5) diligent walkers, including Darwin who went for three 45minute walks every day. These constitutionals weren’t just for fitness – there’s mountains of evidence that walking (6) boost memory, creativity and problem-solving.EATING SPAGHETTISo what do geniuses eat? Alas, it’s not clear what fuelled Einstein’s extraordinary mind,(7) the internet somewhat dubiously claims it was spaghetti. He did once joke that his favorite things about Italy were “spaghetti and [mathematician] Levi-Civita”, so we’ll go with that.It’s well known that the brain is a food-guzzling greedy guts, consuming 20% of the body’s energy though it only accounts for 2% of its weight. Just like the rest of the body, the brain prefers to snack on simple sugars, such as glucose, which (8) (break) down from carbohydrates. Sugars can give the brain a valuable boost, but unfortunately this doesn’t mean binging on spaghetti is a good idea. SMOKING A PIPEToday, the many health risks of smoking are widely known, so this is not a habit that it would be wise to follow. But Einstein was a (9) (harden) pipe smoker, known as much around campus for the cloud of smoke which followed him as for his theories. He famously loved to smoke, believing it “contributes to a somewhat calm and objective judgment in all human affairs.” He’d even pick cigarette butts off the street and stuff the remaining tobacco into his pipe.NO SOCKSNo list of Einstein’s eccentricities would be complete (10) a mention of his passionate aversion to socks. “When I was young,” he wrote in a letter to his cousin – and later, wife – Elsa, “I found out that the big toe always ends up making a hole in a sock. So I stopped wearing socks.”Zimbabwe's “Friendship Bench” a Possible Model for Mental Health TreatmentHealth workers in Zimbabwe are helping people with mental health problems through a new program. Experts say the treatment could serve as a model for other countries in Africa. Doctors estimate that about one quarter of Zimbabweans suffer (1) depression or anxiety. But there are only 12 psychiatrists in the country of 14 million people. Psychiatrists are doctors who treat mental or emotional problems.The University of Zimbabwe, the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and King's College London worked together (2) (create) a new kind of treatment. Dr. Victoria Simms works at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. "We can't possibly go the route of training psychiatrists and psychologists (3) it would take 15 years. How are we going to provide treatment?" So, doctors created a simple but effective program. They placed wooden seats – which they call "Friendship Benches" -- outside several health clinics in the city of Harare. Dr. Simms says people (4) the chance to meet on the benches for six sessions with health workers. They call these workers "grandmother health providers." "So the patient explains (5) all their problems are and its opening up the mind in the sense of (6) (allow) the patient to see that they can do something about their problems." The Friendship Bench study involved more than 550 patients. After six months, only 14 percent of the patients in the Friendship Bench group said they were still (7) (depress). That compares to 50 percent of those who did not receive treatment. Those who received the treatment were also five times (8) (likely) to have suicidal thoughts.Dr. Dixon Chibanda is with the University of Zimbabwe.

Before you start paying down debt, understand (7) you have accumulated it, Kay said.

The public also give clothes and money and a shoe producer 16 new shoes.Kurt and Rita receive no 17 for their hard work. “ We feel like parents,” says Rita, “and parents shouldn’t18 money for helping their children.

That is especially 37 of children who remain in homes where they’re badly treated because the law blindly favors biological parents. It is also true of children who suffer for years in foster(寄养)homes 38 parents who can’t or won’t care for them but 39 to give up custody (监护)rights.Fourteen-year-old Kimberly Mays 40 neither description, but her recent court victory could 41 children who do. Kimberly has been the object of an angry custody battle between the man who 42 her and her biological parents, with whom she has never 43 . A Florida judge decided that the teenager can 44 with the only father she has ever known and that her biological parents have no legal right on her.Shortly after 45 in December 1978, Kimberly Mays and another baby were 46 switched(调换)and sent home with the 47 parents. Kimberly’s biological parents received a child who died of a heart disease in 1988. Medical test 48 that the child wasn’t their own daughter, 49 Kim was, thus leading to a custody battle with Robert Mays.In 1989, the two families 50 that Robert Mays would continue to have custody right with the biological parents getting 51 rights. Those right were ended when Mr. Mays decided that Kimberly was being 52 .The decision to leave Kimberly 53 Mr. Mays caused heated discussion. But the judge made clear that Kimberly did have the right to sue(起诉)on her own behalf. Thus he made clear that she was 54 a personal possession of her parents.

I stared down at my sweat covered, 37 hands.I looked up again at the audience, realizing that these were 38 people. They were not just my mum and dad, who 39 say, "Good job!" even if I messed up the entire piece.What if I had the wrong music? What if I played the wrong notes?As it 40, I was never able to answer these questions because the spotlight was 41 for me. I grasped my hands tightly together, drying off the sweat.Slowly I walked to the mulberry piano in the 42 of the room. It contained 88 demanding keys, which were waiting impatiently to be played.I swallowed the golfball-sized lump(隆起的) in my throat and sat down. 43, I opened the music.Next, I rested my still shaking hands on the ivory keys.As my fingers played across the keys, I was becoming more 44 of my preparation for this moment. But the memory of my year of training came flooding back. I knew that I had practiced this piece 45 that I could play it backwards if 46 .Although at one point I accidentally played two keys 47 the intended one, I continued to move my fingers automatically (自动的).My eyes burned holes into the page in front of me.There was no 48 that I was going to lose my concentration. To keep this promise to myself, I leaned 49 and focused carefully on the music.50 1 came to the end of the page, a warning 51 inside my head: DON' T MAKE A MISTAKE WHEN YOU TURN THE PAGE!Needless to say, I 52 myself with all my heart and mind.And, proud of my "page- turning" feat(技艺) I finished the 53 of the piece without making a single mistake.After the final note died away, a celebration went into action 54 my head.1 had finished.I had mastered (征服)the 55.36.A.unknown B.still C.calm D.quiet37.A.shaking B.moving C.waving D.wandering38.A.true B.real C.young D.old39.A.will B.can C.could D.would40.A.turned out B.turned up C.turned back D.turned down 41.A.looking B.searching C.expecting D.waiting42.A.comer B.cross C.center D.passage43.A.Slowly B.Happily C.Quickly D.Suddenly44.A.sure B.unsure C.certain D.confident45.A.so much time B.so hardlyC.such a lot of time D.so many times46.A.requested B.told C.demanded D.ordered47.A.in spite of B.instead of C.in the way of D.in the shape of48.A.way B.need C.use D.sense49.A.backward B.forward C.upward D.downward50.A.Then B.Next C.When D.While51.A.appeared B.had C.raised D.went52.A.told B.asked C.obeyed D.refused53.A.other B.part C.left D.rest54.A.inside B.outside C.out of D.on55.A.musical B.piece C.impossible D.possible5Elderly people respond best to a calm and unhurried environment . This is not always easy to 36 as their behavior can sometimes be irritating (令人恼怒的). If they get 37 or upset , then they may become more confused (糊涂的)and more difficult to look after . 38 sometimes it can be extremely difficult , it is best to be 39 and not to get upset yourself . You should always 40 old people to do as much as possible for themselves but be ready to 41 a helping hand when necessary .Failing memory makes it 42 for the elderly to recall all the basic kinds of information we 43 for granted . The obvious way to help in this 44 is to supply the information that is missing and help them make 45 of what is going on . You must use every opportunity to provide information , 46 remember to keep it simple and easy to understand .When the elderly person makes 47 statements about going out to his or her old 48 or visitinga dead relative , 49 in a calm matter-of-fact fashion : “You are retired now . Will you come and help mewith the dishes ?”We depend 50 on the information provided by signposts , clocks , calendars and newspapers .These assist us to 51 and direct our behavior . Confused old people need these 52 all the time to compensate (弥补) for their memory . Encourage them to use 53 boards or diaries for important 54 events and label the contents of different cupboards and drawers . Many other aids such as information cards , 55 photos , notes , addresses or shopping lists could help in individual case .36.A.provide B.protect C.discover D.examine37.A.happy B.easy C.excited D.comfortable38.A.As a result B.Even C.For D.Although39.A.patient B.protective C.ready D.helpful40.A.tell B.encourage C.warn D.permit41.A.carry B.make C.lend D.offer42.A.necessary B.difficult C.terrible D.impossible43.A.make B.give C.think D.take44.A.condition B.situation C.action D.position45.A.sense B.use C.light D.fun46.A.do B.or C.however D.but47.A.obvious B.strange C.confused D.fixed48.A.factory B.hospital C.school D.employment49.A.correct B.repeat C.check D.care50.A.hardly B.heavily C.totally D.simply51.A.collect B.form C.keep D.organize 52.A.information B.advice C.aids D.materials53.A.reminder B.flat C.recovery D.wood54.A.improving B.coming C.moving D.exciting55.A.beautiful B.unforgettable C.nice D.old6While in the army there was nothing I dislike so much as the map-reading course,for thesimple reason that I always feel 36 even with a map in my hand.For weeks I had 37 awake at night thinking of the 38 test I would have to face at the end of the course. 39 the evil day arrived.It was my responsibility to lead a small band of soldiers back to camp from the middle of40 .We were driven out in a(n) 41 lorry and left in a ploughed field with 42 to get back to camp as quickly as possible.Well knowing my 43 ,the soldiers smiled as they saw me looking at the map and they made a11 sorts of helpful suggestions. I folded the map up,put it in my pocket,and said that we would44 east. After walking through the cornfield for over an hour we came to a wide stream. I looked at the map 45 .It seemed to be 46 with masses of thin blue lines. But Which 47 line was this steam? In despair,we sat down in the cool 48 and I feel 1ike 49 the map into the water. Fifteen minutes later,a boat passed and I asked the boatman if he could give us 50 to the nearest village. I 51 that we had been out for a walk and 52 got lost. The boatman invited us on 53 and I felt54 when he told me that he had helped hundreds of soldiers to pass their map-reading test! Not long55 ,we got off that boat and,following the boatman’s instructions, took a bus into the village and get back to camp.36.A.stupid B.blind C.puzzled D.lost37.A.suffered B.lain C.slept D.1aid38.A.basic B.actual C.practical D.special39.A.At last B.At once C.As a result D.After all40.A.village B.downtown C.nowhere D.forest41.A.closed B.advanced C.ordinary D.damaged 42.A.suggestions B.directions C.information D.instructions 43.A.weakness B.thought C.task D.strength44.A.head B.point C.march D.guide45.A.gradually B.therefore C.merely D.again46.A.spread B.painted C.covered D.separated47.A.similar B.particular C.correct D.wonderful48.A.tent B.shadow C.shore D.shade49.A.tearing B.throwing C.striking D.destroying50.A.lift B.ride C.favor D.service51.A.declared B.pretended C.admitted D.described 52.A.altogether B.almost C.possible D.somehow53.A.board B.boat C.purpose D.platform54.A.afraid B.foolish C.fortunate D.interested55.A.ago B.1ate C.afterwards D.away7On a cold November afternoon, my mother and I were walking home from a pizza store. We were dressed warmly and 36 with the rented video we had been dying for watch, I was feeling a little 37 , as I was carrying our shopping, bags of snacks and the 38 .They were so heavy that I decided to 39 some things. So I started to walk towards the garbage can 40 I noticed a poor man walking his bike out of the restaurant in front of us. He _41 a paper bag with his dirty hand. He headed over to another nearby garbage can and started _42 it.I suddenly felt very 43 because I was about to do away with a new drink just 44 it was heavy. I knew this man would take all he could 45 , so I walked up to him and 46 the drink and some snacks to him. The man looked up 47 and took what I gave him.A huge smile spread 48 his face and this caused me to feel indescribable 49 . I felt like I 50 be happier with myself, but then he said, “This is my son’s lucky day!”With that, he 51 me happily and started off on his bike. I even heard him 52 a song as he rode away.I got a warm feeling inside and I knew I had done something good, for the man and his family. I now understand what is 53 by the saying “Giving is getting”.Since then, every time I have the 54 to do something nice, the image of the man’s happiness caused by my small gift appears in my mind.

I knew the theatre would beair-conditioned and I couldn’t face my 16 apartment.Sitting in the theater I had to look through the 17 between the two tall heads in front of me. I had to keep changing the angle ( 角度) 18 she leaned over to talk to him, 19 he leaned over to kiss her. Why do Americans express such feelings in a 20 place?I thought the movie would be good for my English, but 21 it turned out, it was an 22 movie. After about an hour I decided to give up the movie and 23 my popcorn (爆米花). I’ve never understood why they give you so much popcorn! It tasted pretty good, 24.After a while I heard 25 more of the romantic-sounding Italians. I just heard the 26 of the popcorn crunching (嘎扎的响声) between my teeth. My thought started to 27 . I remembered when I was in South Korea, I 28 to watch Kojak on TV frequently. He spoke perfect Korean—I was really amazed. He seemed like a good friend to me 29 I saw him again in New York speaking 30 English instead of perfect Korean. He didn’t even have a Korean accent and I 31 like I had been cheated. When our family moved to the United States six years ago, none of us spoke any English. 32 we had begun to learn a few words, my mother suggested that we all should speak English at home. Everyone agreed, but our house became very 33 and we all seemed to avoid each other. We sat at the dinner table in silence, 34 that to speaking the difficult language. Mother tried to say something in English, but it 35 out all wrong and we all burnt into laughter and decided to forget it! We have been speaking Korean at home ever since.16.

It wasthe 21 time in our lives that she would be gone for any length of 22 .We wondered howother people had 23 it.Later in bed, I 24 the time I started college. My father had driven me, too. My mother had to stay behind to 25 the cows from getting into the crops. I, the fourth in a line of brothers, was the first to 26 college.The truck was slow and I was glad. I didn’t want to get to 27 too soon. I shook hands with my father in the truck and he didn’t say a word. But I knew he was going to make a little 28 . He finally said,“I never went to college and 29 of your brothers went to college. I can’t say you don’t do this or that, because everything is different and I don’t know what is going to 30 , but I think things will work out. When you get a job, be sure to be 31 and work hard.”I knew that soon I would be 32 in the big town and I would be missing the life of the family.Then my father brought out the Bible that he had 33 so often. I knew that he would miss it but I must take it. He just said,“This can help you 34 you will let it.”When I finished school I took the Bible back to my father. But he said he wanted me to 35 it.Now, too late, I remember. It would have been so 36 to give it to my daughter when she got out of the car. But I didn’t. I could give her 37 .My father could give me 38 a Bible. But I don’t really believe now that I gave her half as 39 as my father gave me. So the next morning I did up the book and sent it to her.

He was hungry so he decided to 36 for a meal at the next house.However, he lost his nerve 37 a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked 38 so she brought him a large glass of milk.

But, just twenty-four hours after arriving there, my wife and I experienced problems with the restaurant, the service and the (2) . We should have left and returned to our (3) when we saw two policemen walking outside the hotel, (4) the building. One of them showed us how our room could be (5) in through the windows. It seems that the hotel has no (6) on the windows. Although we were a little worried, our concerns were (7) when we believed a good-sized bed, a flat-screen TV, a spa bath and more suggested a comfortable stay. Things started to go from bad to worse the following morning when I found the restaurant only served (8) meals. I was disappointed and upset: six days of rabbit food and no steak and chips? What had I let myself in for? We should have been told about the food before we (9). I ordered breakfast against my will (10) , but I had to wait forty-five minutes for it to arrive. This was not the (11) I expected. That afternoon, when we returned from a tour around a village nearby, we found that nearly £200 had been stolen from our room. The Haven (12) to refund us the money. They claimed that they could not be responsible for any loss if our (13)was not locked. My holiday was then a total (14) ; I thought a “haven” was supposed to be a quiet, peaceful place.

Where did you get your information from? The chances are that you either read it somewhere or someone who read it somewhere told you about it. Did you ever (1) who wrote down these facts? How can you be sure that they are (2) ? The thing is, many historical “facts” are not like what you know about them. Let’s think about the (3) of America. What’s the first name that comes to mind? More than likely it’s Christopher Columbus. But is it the case? He had (4) to reach Asia and that’s where he thought he was when he came to America. But there were many people there before him. The first ones were (5) the Native Americans, thousands of years before 1492. Even the Vikings had made a number of expeditions, with Leif Eriksson landing there in around 1000 A.D. Perhaps Amerigo Vespucci, an Italian explorer, was the discoverer of America. (6), unlike Columbus before him, he was the first fifteen-century explorer to realize where he was, or rather, where he definitely wasn’t. So, maybe the word “re-discover” is more (7) when it comes to Columbus, if history is to give him any credit at all .Everyone believes such historical “facts” because, like you, they got them from what they thought was a (8) source. But how can such things be written down in the first place? One of the reasons must be that history is seldom “cut and dried”. The events are often complicated and (9) . Another reason is that such “facts” always (10) a grain of truth. Columbus was not the first person to travel to America, but he was the first fifteen-century explorer to go there. His “re-discovery” was, from a historical point of view, extremely (11) for Europe since his voyages opened up large-scale commerce between Europe and America. History has (12) been written by the winners. If the conquered peoples had written the history of the discovery of the New World, it would most probably have been very different, but not necessarily objective: the point of view of the conquered can be just as (13) as the point of view of the conqueror. But that is not the (14) story. The writing of history depends not only on the “side” the writer is on, but also on the culture and attitudes of the era it is written in. History is always (15) . So, remember: when you read history, take it with a pinch of salt.1. A. go over B. make up C. see to D. think about2. A. complete B. funny C. strange D. true3.

It combines and analyzes the results of hundreds of surveys from around the world that have been conducted on life satisfaction. Most of the findings are (1) , but a few are surprising. The database makes it clear that there is not a strong connection between material wealth and general happiness. It is a cliché (陈词滥调) to say that money can’t buy happiness, but the old saying seems to be (2) by research. Many people still stick to the belief that gaining riches will be the answer to all their problems, yet they are probably (3) . Studies have been (4) on people who acquired sudden wealth, such as lottery winners. In most cases, after the (5) joy had worn off, people were not left with a sense of lasting happiness. In fact, they tended to go back to the way they(6) before they became rich. Previously contented (满意的) people continue to be contented,(7) those who were miserable before sink back into misery. If material wealth does not bring happiness, then what does? Perhaps happiness has something to do with where you live. The authorities at the World Database on Happiness have surveyed (8) of happiness in different countries. (9), people in America, Canada and Singapore are very happy; people living in India and Russia, not surprisingly, are not happy. Other surveys consistently (10) the importance of relationships. (11) relationships in particular seem to be the key to long-term contentment. The website suggests that falling in love and having children are two of the(12) that bring the greatest happiness. Nowadays people look to technology as a(n) (13) source of satisfaction. People increasingly spend time alone watching TV or surfing the Internet (14) spending time with family. Can technology truly make people happy? It is too difficult to tell, but one thing is certain: If the website’s research is accurate, time spent with your family is a better (15) than time spent making money.1.

One website that has (1) over six million Internet users is Second Life. Second Life is a three-dimensional (3-D) online world where people work, shop, sell and trade items, meet others, go to concerts, and much more. Users, who are called “residents,” create their own characters, or “avatars.” They use their avatars to (2) Second Life’s virtual world .Just like any country, Second Life has its own (3) . Using a credit card, users can buy “Linden Dollars,” the official currency of Second Life. With Linden Dollars, they can (4) land or even an entire island where they can build and decorate their own house. Land is treated as a valuable commodity in Second Life. Residents can choose to rent or sell their land to other users, and they can earn real money from these (5) When residents want to be (6) , they can use their avatars to interact with others. There are games, shopping malls, clubs, and many kinds of stores available to residents. With so many opportunities for interesting things to do and see, it’s easy to see why so many users devote so much (7) to the site. Second Life offers users a quick and easy (8) from the real world. Many residents see this as one of the main (9) of using the site. Spending time on Second Life allows them to escape the stresses and problems of their daily lives. If a user is having a stressful day at work, she can visit a beautiful island, go skiing, or even fly to another planet during her lunch break. (10) escaping the stress of their daily lives, users can also escape who they are in the real world and live in their fantasies. (11) , residents can change their occupations, physical appearance, and even their nationalities. A doctor from the United States can be a Brazilian musician on Second Life. (12) , Second Life lets users live in a world without (13) Although Second Life started as a way for people to escape the real world, it has become more and more (14) to the real world in many ways. Now on Second Life, some countries have virtual embassies, businesses have meetings in (15) rooms, and universities have places where students can view the campus and take classes.

Parents’ (1) in their children’ s lives have grown greatly, (2) a generation of emotionally healthy, capable and successful adults. American parents are unique in the sense that they make decisions (3) discussing the issues with their children. This way of (4) may not be considered valuable in other parts of the world, where (5) cultural values drive parents to rule with an iron fist. By involving their children in the decision-making process, parents are preparing them for (6) , where success is often determined by an individual’s ability to make thoughtful, informed (7) . American children also gain confidence from this kind of (8) power and learn to consider the consequences of their actions .American parents are also constantly observing successful parenting techniques from other cultures. As people from other countries continue to get into American society, American parents take the (9) of these cultures and combine the best aspects of them with (10) American styles of child-raising. Experiencing (11) ideas early in their lives also gives American children a healthy appreciation for (12) and creates a tolerant society. American parents (13) children with a strong support system and give them (14) in their own abilities. When children are fully confident that their parents are concerned with and affected by their behavior, they become hardworking and self-assured. The democratic and fair way, which Americans (15) to parenting, equips individuals for becoming strong-minded and successful grown-ups in the future.1.

Is it a thing to be saved or spent or wasted, like money? Or is it something we have no (1) over, like the weather? Is time the same all over the world? That is an easy question, you say. Wherever you go, a minute is 60 seconds, an hour is 60 minutes, a day is 24 hours, and so forth. But in America, time is more than that. Americans see time as a (2) resource. Maybe that is why they are fond of the expression “Time is money.” Because Americans believe time is a limited resource, they try to conserve and manage it. People in the U.S. often attend lectures or read books about time (3) . It seems they all want to (4)their time better. Professionals carry around pocket planners—some in electronic form—to keep (5) of appointments and deadlines. People do all they can to (6) more life out of their time. The American founding father Benjamin Franklin expressed this view best: “Do you love life? Then don’t waste time, for that is the stuff life is made of.” To Americans, punctuality is a way of showing (7) for other people’s time. Being more than 10 minutes late to an appointment usually calls for an apology, and maybe an explanation. People who run late often call ahead to let others know of the (8) . Of course, the less formal the situation is, the less important it is to be (9) on time .American lifestyles show how much people respect the time of others. When people plan an event, they often set the time days or weeks (10) . If people want to come to your house for a friendly visit, they will usually call first to make sure it is (11). Also, people (12) to call others late at night for fear they might be in bed. The time may (13) , but most people think twice about calling after 10 p.m. Even Americans would admit that no onecan master time. Time, like money, (14) all too easily through our fingers.

Maybe we have our father’s eyes or our grandmother’s hair color – (1) features that result from the genes we inherit. But there are other elements of our personalities such as behaviors and viewpoints that we pick upby (2) our parents. Perhaps we have picked up our mother’s love of cleaning or our dad’s sense of humor. Now, researchers at the University of Michigan believe there may be a specific viewpoint we can thank our parents for: the way we (3) work. The researchers referred to previous studies that identified three main ways of viewing work. First, there are job-oriented (以求职为目的的)people, those who (4) to see their job as simply a way to make money. They (5) to clocking out(打卡下班)every day and pursuing fun activities (6) the office. If you have a job-oriented father, you may view work this way. (7) , if you grew up close to your mother you probably will not hold this viewpoint. One possible (8) cited by the study: Youngsters that grow up close to their mothers are less likely to view work as just a job. Second, there are career-oriented(追求事业型的)people who see their job as a place to find (9) and gain a sense of (10) . These are the people who don’t (11) working overtime. In fact, some people love their jobs so much that they become workaholics! They are more comfortable in the office than at home. According to the study, being close to a career- oriented father while growing up means there’s a good chance you’ll share his perspective. Oddly, having a mother with this viewpoint seems to have little (12) .Third, there are calling-oriented workers – folks who view their job as a way to make a (n) (13) impact upon the world. They are more (14) with improving the world around them than earning a large salary. In the study, those who expressed a strong calling (天职)orientation came from homes where both parents were calling-oriented. This suggests that adolescents need the support of both parents in order to have the confidence to put (15) first and career success second. The good news is – we still have choice. Whether we share our parents’ views of work or not, we can still find a career that suits us.1. A. medical B. physical C. biological D. mental2. A. stimulating B. neglecting C. implying D. modeling3.

Which are you more likely to have with you at any given moment—your cell phone or your wallet? Soon you may be able to (1) your wallet and pay for things with a quick wave of your smart phone over an electronic scanner.

Many people think that listening is a passive business. It is just the (1) one. Listening well is an active exercise of our attention and hard work. It is because they do not realize this, or because they are not (2) to do the work, that most people do not listen well. Listening well also requires total (3) upon someone else. An essential part of listening well is the rule known as “bracketing”. Bracketing includes the temporary giving up or (4) your own prejudices and desires, to experience as far as possible someone else’s world from the inside, stepping into his or her shoes. (5) , since listening well involves bracketing, it also involves a temporary (6) of the other person. Sensing this acceptance, the speaker will seem quite willing to (7) up the inner part of his or her mind to the listener. True communication is under way and the energy required for listening well is so great that it can be (8) only by the will to extend oneself for mutual growth. However, most of the time we (9) this energy. Even if we may feel in our business dealings or social relationships that we are listening well, what we are usually doing is listening (10) . Often we have a prepared list in mind and wonder, as we listen, how we can achieve certain (11) results to get the conversation over as quickly as possible or redirected in ways more satisfactory to us. Many of us are far more interested in talking than in listening, or we simply (12) to listen to what we don’t want to hear. It was not until toward the end of my doctor career that I had found the knowledge that one was being truly listened to was frequently therapeutic (有疗效的) . In about a quarter of the patients I saw, (13) improvement was shown during the first few months of psychotherapy, before any of the (14) of problems had been uncovered or explained. There were several reasons for this phenomenon, but chief among them, I believe, was the patient’s (15) that he or she was being truly listened to, often for the first time in years, and for some, perhaps for the first time ever.1.
