15、s, use one word that best fits each blank.As a big fan of Manchester United, it is always hard for me to believe that Man Utd should finish seventh in the final Premier League table (英超联赛积分榜) last season. To be frank, that result 25_ never be more disappointing and frustrating for me. If there is so
16、meone who is 26_ (blame) for this, it must be the Manager David Moyes. So at the end of last season, everyone knew that it was only a matter of time before he 27_ (dismiss) and to 28_ Man Utd should hand the task of getting the team back on track became a matter of concern.When the news came on the
17、night of Wednesday 16 July 29_ Louis van Gaal was appointed the new Manager of Man Utd, I knew he could be the one to restore the Red Devils to their former glories, 30_ some claims that this decision was even more risky since Louis is 31_ (familiar) with the league compared with Man Utds ill-fated
18、former Manager David Moyes, who at least has worked in the league for years. “ Experienced 32_ Louis van Gaal is,” Gary Neville, currently 33_ occasional sports columnist for the Daily Mail (每日邮报), wrote in his column, “it is apparently unlikely for this new comer to win the title this year.” And so
19、me of the concerns were right, especially when Louis 34_ admitted that it would take 2 35_ 3 months to get fully acquainted with the Premier League. Thus, Man Utds failure to stay on top of the Premier League table before Christmas, 36_ used to be a rare case, didnt come as a surprise to me.But in t
20、he last two months, things have changed. Man Utd has gained six successive victories against different rivals 37_ (include) its noisy neighborManchester City, 38_ _ which the team has now climbed from rock bottom to No. 3 in the table. With only 5 matches 39_ (leave) and Man Utd temporarily ranking
21、No. 3 (last season No. 7) at the league table, now everyone can agree on one thing that 40_ _ _ this season ends eventually, the decision to replace David Moyes with Louis van Gaal in the last summer was a right one.III.

23、en the film Running on Karma again, a controversial film that has long been taken as a courageous attempt of Johnnie Tos and also a significant 41_ from his other works. Those 42_ plots which used to limit my understanding of the film now start to make sense. It just feels as if I were 43_ with an o
24、ld acquaintance whom I once misunderstood.If there is one line that can represent what To really wants to 44_ to his audience, it must be the saying that all but ones karma(佛教用语：业) can be cast away, which 45_ appears in the film.As the themes finishing touch, not only does the above saying reveal so
25、me 46_ thoughts hidden in the film, but it also throws a light on Tos 47_ of responsibility. Karma means “act or deed.” What was sown before is now reaped. But as sowing also takes place in the present, it 48_ involves responsibility towards the future. Since nothing can be done to alter the past, w
26、hat one should be concerned about is not yesterdays cause, but how to sow his or her karma todaywhich will 49_ fruit tomorrow.To put it in another way, the idea of the film is that no matter what one has done, once it has been done, it just becomes water under the bridge. So what truly matters is to
27、 50_ the responsibility for the future, since that is something one can make a difference to.IV. Cloze (15)Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Many theories concerning the
28、 causes of juvenile delinquency (crimes committed by young people) focus either on the individual or on society as the major contributing influence. Theories centering on the individual suggest that children 51_ criminal behavior because they were not sufficiently 52_ for previous misbehaviors or th
29、at they have learned criminal behavior through interaction with others. Theories focusing on the role of society suggest that children commit crimes in 53_ to their failure to rise above their socioeconomic status or as a rejection of middle-class values.Most theories of juvenile delinquency have fo
30、cused on children from disadvantaged families, 54_ the fact that children from wealthy homes also commit crimes. The latter may commit crimes for lack of adequate control from parents. All 55_, however, are uncertain or unimproved and are of course challenged with criticism.Changes in the social str
31、ucture may indirectly 56_ juvenile crime rates. For example, changes in the economy that 57_ to fewer job opportunities for youth and rising unemployment 58_ make gainful employment increasingly difficult to obtain. This results in dissatisfaction among youths and may in 59_ lead more youths into cr
32、iminal behavior.Families have also experienced 60_ these years. More families consist of one parent households or two working parents; 61_, children are likely to have less supervision at home than was common in the traditional family 62_.

33、nce on juvenile crime rates.

37、ach passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Pride and Prejudice for the Modern WomanLet us imagine how Pride
38、and Prejudice, Jane Austens most famous work, might be updated, 200 years on.Austens popularity is rooted in her intelligence. But today she would certainly have had a very different life, as would her characters. Heres my own suggestion.It is a truth finally and universally acknowledged that a sing
39、le woman with brains deserves to have equal opportunities to men, however disadvantaged she may feel by sexism.“My dear husband,” said his hopeful wife one day, “have you heard that the local store, standing empty for so long, is taken over by a bright young businesswoman?”Her dull and indifferent h
40、usband replied that he had not. “But it is, it is,” she replied excitedly. Mr. Dull-Husband made no reply.“Dont you want to know her plans?” she cried with some impatience. “Well, clearly you think it matters to your silly little head. so Id better listen.”“Well, my dear, the rumour is that she has
41、already set up a string of successful businesses in northern England, though how a woman can know anything about that is beyond me. She will move in herself next month. “What is her name?” “Bingley.”“Is she married or single?”“What a question! And none of your business.” But her coming will be a fin
42、e thing for our five boys. “How so? How can it possibly affect them?”“My dear love; those lazy boys need something to wake them up. There are bound to be jobs going.”“Is that her point in settling here? Surely as a woman she has simply taken a fancy to the place.”“Nonsense, my love, how little youve
43、 noticed the world has changed. Shes got a first-rate degree and some sort of business qualification, Im told. She surely needs one of our boys! Perhaps you might give her a call.”“Me? No. Perhaps you can take an interest. You still have your looks, after all. She may even offer you a job.”“Oh, that
44、s not likely. These new chances belong to the younger generation. But now you mention it, I think Ill go along all the same.”And Mrs. Bennet went along. That was 10 years ago. She is now managing director of a FTSE(英国富时指数)-listed company. . It would remain the case, of course, that Mrs. Bennet would
45、 be one of very few women on the company board, that her salary would be lower than her male colleagues, her bonus of a more “female” dimension and her lifespan among the citys business leaders shorter than theirs. Still, shed no doubt have enjoyed Davos(达沃斯论坛)and might even have hobnobbed (攀谈) with

59、one-hundredths of an inch thick, light golden in color and with a perfect “saddle curl,” the Lays potato chip(乐事薯片) seems an unlikely weapon for global domination. But its maker, Frito-Lay, thinks otherwise. “Potato chips are a snack food for the world,” said Salman Amin, the companys head of global
60、 marketing. Amin believes there is no corner of the world that can resist the charms of a Frito-Lay potato chip.Frito-Lay is the biggest snack maker in America owned by PepsiCo(百事公司) and accounts for over half of the parent companys $3 billion annual profits. But the U.S. snack food market is largel
61、y saturated(饱和), and to grow the company has to look overseas.Its strategy rests on two beliefs: first a global product offers economies of scale with which local brands cannot compete. And second, consumers in the 21st century are drawn to “global” as a concept. “Global” does not mean products that
62、 are consciously identified as American, but ones that consumersespecially young peoplesee as part of a modern, innovative world in which people are linked across cultures by shared beliefs and tastes. Potato chips are an American invention, but most Chinese, for instance, do not know that Frito-Lay
63、 is an American company. Instead, Riskey, the companys research and development head, would hope they associate the brand with the new world of global communications and business.With brand perception a crucial factor, Riskey ordered a redesign of the Frito-Lay logo. The logo, along with the company
64、s long-held marketing image of the “irresistibility” of its chips, would help facilitate the company global expansion.The executives acknowledge that they try to swing national eating habits to a food created in America, but they deny that amounts to economic imperialism. Rather, they see Frito-Lay
65、as spreading the benefits of free enterprise across the world. “Were making products in those countries, were adapting them to the tastes of those countries, building business and employing people and changing lives,” said Steve Reinemund, PepsiCos chief executive.74. It is the belief of Frito-Lays
66、head of global marketing that _. A. Potato chips can hardly be used as a weapon to dominate the world market B. Their company must find new ways to promote domestic sales C. The light golden color enhances the charm of their companys potato chips D. People over the world enjoy eating their companys
67、potato chips75. One of the assumptions on which Frito-Lay bases its development strategy is that _. A. consumers worldwide today are attracted by global brands B. local brands cannot compete successfully with American brands C. products suiting Chinese consumers needs bring more profits D. products
68、identified as American will have promising market value76. Why did Riskey have the Frito-Lay logo redesigned? A. To suit changing tastes of young consumers. B. To promote the companys strategy of globalization. C. To change the companys long-held marketing image. D. To compete with other American ch
69、ip producers.77. Frito-Lays executives claim that the promoting of American food in the international market _.A. wont affect the eating habits of the local peopleB. will lead to economic imperialismC. will be in the interest of the local peopleD. wont spoil the taste of their potato chipsSection B
70、(2*4)Directions:Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words. Oscar-winning director Ang Lees new epic Life of Pi reveals the relationship between a teenage Indian boy and a Bengal tiger. But in reality, the predators(肉食性动物) are under
71、increasing threat from humans. Animal rights group PETA is hoping to use the popularity of the film to focus peoples attention on the real life of Bengal tigers. With the rising demand for tiger parts from East Asia, illegal hunting remains a tremendous danger for the remaining cat population. Back
72、in 1947, there were 40,000 tigers in India, but the number is experiencing a sharp decline to 1,707 despite campaigns to protect the animal. Rising man-animal conflict is also one of the leading causes of decline in tiger numbers. In one of numerous reported attacks on the endangered big cats, villa
73、gers near the Bangladesh-India border, armed with sticks and boat oars, set upon the animal suspected to have attacked a local fisherman and beat it to death earlier this month. So far this year, 58 tigers deaths have been reported in the country. “The first instinct when a tiger is spotted is to ju
74、st kill it,” grieved Gurmeet Sapal, a wildlife filmmaker. “The feeling of fear and revenge is so strong that is shuts out any other emotion.” What we dont realize is that the tiger never attacks humans until it is forced to.” India has been struggling to stop tigers decline in the face of the loss o
75、f habitat as well that encourages the animals to leave the forest for food. “The tigers rapidly exhausted prey base causes the predator to go all out to get its food. Consequently, livestock and human beings become easy prey, which leads inevitably to conflicts,” says a wildlife conservationist. Fil
76、mmakers Sapal says it is only normal for people to think of the tiger as a dangerous animal, but its image as a human killer bears some injustice. “Tigers never kill for sport nor store meat. They kill their prey only in case of hunger.”(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MO
