Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. The most exciting kind of education is also the most perso
2、nal. Nothing is beyond the joy of discovering for yourself something that is a big _51_ to you! It may be an idea or a bit of information you come across accidentally or a sudden understanding, fitting together pieces of information or working through a problem. Such personal _52_ are the payoff in
3、education. A teacher may direct you to learning and even _53_ you in it-but no teacher can make the excitement or the joy happen. That is _54_ you. A research paper, assigned in a course and perhaps checked at _55_ stages by an instructor, leads you beyond classrooms, beyond the texts for classes an
4、d into a _56_ where the joy of discovery and learning can come to you many times. Preparing the research paper is an active and individual process, and _57_ learning process. It provides a structure within which you can make exciting discoveries, of knowledge and of self, which are basic to educatio
5、n. The research paper also gives you a chance to individualize a school assignment, to _58_ a piece of work to your own interests and abilities, to show others what you can do. Writing a research paper is _59_ just a classroom exercise. It is an experience in searching out, understanding and synthes
6、izing (综合), which forms the _60_ of many skills applicable to both academic and nonacademic tasks. It is, in the fullest sense, a discovery, an education. So, to produce a good research paper is both a useful and a _61_ satisfying experience! To some, the thought of having to write an _62_ number of
7、 pages, often more than ever produced before, is disturbing. To others, the very idea of having to work independently is _63_. But there is no need to approach paper assignment with _64_, and nobody should view the research paper as an obstacle to overcome. _65_, consider it a goal to accomplish, a
8、goal within reach if you find great pleasure in it.51. A. mistake B. deal C. plan D. challenge 52. A. behavioursB. opportunitiesC. encountersD. entertainments53.

Digital fingerprinting, fluctuations（波动）in the dollar exchange rate, and a mass of online information are some of the ways making
12、travel to the United Nations in 2010 a different _51_ for international visitors than it was earlier in the 21st century. These _52_ are evident before the visitor leaves his or her country. In 2004, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security(DHS)a department of the federal government established by l
13、aws and regulations in late 2002, after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacksestablished a new series of security _53_ for the international visitors holding non-U.S. passports or visas. _54_ when these visitors apply for a visa, the officer _55_ them reviews their application and supporting pap
14、ers and collects both digital fingerprints and a digital photograph. Recently, the waiting time for these interviews has been significantly _56_. According to Geoff Freeman, a senior vice president of public affairs of U.S. Travel, the trade organization for the U.S. travel industry, many prospectiv
15、e visa applicants now wait fewer than 30 days for an interview, _57_ more than 100 days in the past. The Visa Waiter Program(VWP)which _58_ citizens from countries that meet various security and other requirements from obtaining a visa for visits to the United States of 90 days or fewer for business
16、 or pleasure _59_ 36 countries such as Australia, Austria, Belgium and so on. A traveler from a country _60_ in the VWP must obtain an Electronic System for Travel Authorization(ESTA), an online travel authorization, established by DHS. ESTA determines, before the traveler boards a flight, whether t
17、he traveler is _61_ to travel to the United States under the VWP and whether such travel poses any law implementation or security risks. When an international traveler arrives in the United States, he or she must subject one of the two _62_ to the U.S. Customs and Boarder Protection(CBP)officer: eit
18、her a white Form I-94, if the traveler has a visa, or a green Form I-94W, if the traveler is a VWP participant. The CBP officer asks the traveler questions about his or her stay, scans the travelers fingerprints, and takes a digital photograph. _63_, VWP travelers, who are not required to obtain a v
19、isa, will soon need to pay a fee. The travelers keeps a portion of the I-94 or I-94W form after the CBP _64_ and returns it to CBP upon departure from the United States. In 2007 Congress authorized the consumption of $40 million on a “Model Ports of Entry” program, designed to improve the _65_ proce
20、dures of foreign travelers at the 20 U.S. airports with the highest number of international visitors. The program aims to improve staffing, queue management, signage, and infrastructure at the top 20 U.S. international airports and to hire at least 200 new CBP officers.51.A. experimentB. examination

24、n the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Leadership is a word getting a lot of attention these days. It appears in the title of new advice, how-to, and business books with amazing _51_. Definitio
25、ns vary, but most of the ones Ive seen dont help much. Its a totally _52_ subject: You think A is a great leader; I like Bs _53_ better. That is, you may not be able to _54_ it, but you know it when you see it.So this is my take on the elusive (难以捉摸的) concept: Years ago, leadership had _55_ to do wi
26、th a specific ability. “Leader” was the _56_ given to the emperor of the organization. The person was the commander, the _57_ with complete control. But _58_ there is another way to establish yourself as a leader.Here is my definition: Leadership is the ability to get others to do what you want, nee
27、d, or expect them to do, and feel good about doing it. It is the _59_ part (feeling good about doing it) that is so elusive. If I am in charge, I can certainly demand you do what I expect you to do and insist you get it done. I can give orders. _60_, I am the boss, and everyone knows what that means
28、. It is a sure way to destroy the atmosphere of the _61_.Today, I believe that approach is on the way _62_, although it will always be with us. When people hate the boss, sure, the boss is called “leader”but not a good one, because the followers are an unhappy bunch. If they had another, _63_ job to
29、 go to, they would be gone in a minute. Here is a list of the qualities I believe it _64_ to be a good leader: 1. Likable; 2. Trustworthy; 3. Competent and experienced; 4. Part of the team; 5. Able and willing to participate; 6. Ready to _65_; 7. Adaptable to change; 8. Eager to share credit. 51. A.

33、d A,B,C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Radio began as a point-to-point communication device. In 1919, Radio Corporation of American would charge a fee if you sent a message from one radio to another. Either the senders or the recipients pay the fee. The
34、purpose was basically to undercut the telegraph, and they made their money _51_, not by providing radio as a _52_ but by selling hardware.In about 1922, radio _53_ into a broadcast mechanism. For broadcasting, in the simple sense, there was a _54_ and it broadcast, and lots of people could hear it.
35、But broadcasting was seen as a way to drive business to the radio hardware makers. The stations were _55_ by people who made radios or _56_, by churches and universities that wanted to get their _57_ out but werent going to make money.And there was a lot of stuff which sounds very _58_ today about h
36、ow this medium was going to _59_. And in the 20s, Radio Broadcast Magazine _60_ a $500 prize for the best essay that answered the question: “Who is going to pay for broadcasting, and how?” The winner suggested a _61_ on radio listeners. Now, it sounds a little strange to us, but thats actually the B
37、ritish model. The BBC supports itself by a tax on TV and radio sets.There was some discussion about_62_, and Herbert Hoover, the Secretary of Commerce then, was strongly against this idea. He said it was _63_ that we should allow so great a possibility for service _64_ by advertising chatter. The Co
38、mmerce Department was _65_ radio at the time. After the creation of national radio networks then the pressure advertisers wanted to go on with it, people who owned the radio network wanted to sell ads, and thats how radio developed as an advertising medium.51.

However, it presents a hostile (不友好的) environment. Temperatures _52_ +120 to -150 degrees Centigrade (摄氏). There is no air, and no water. T
43、oday there are _53_ scientific speculation (思索) about living on the moon. When man will begin life on the moon surface is still not _54_. But experts believe that settlement will take place in three steps. First, there will be increasing periods of exploration with temporary _55_. These periods will
44、 be followed by longer stays with housing under the surface of the moon and systems necessary to _56_ life brought by the colonizers themselves. Finally, colonies that are ecologically and _57_ self-supporting will be established. The principal job of the early settlers will be to stay _58_. They wi
45、ll have to bulid shelters to _59_ an atmosphere like that of earth. They will have to plant crops under huge domes to produce food and _60_ and find water sources. After this is done, the settlers will have time to explore the possibilities of commercial development and to make discoveries important
46、 to science. The characteristics of the moon that make it bad for human staying alive may make it _61_ for certain kinds of manufacturing. Operations that require a vacuum or extreme cold, are an _62_. Precision ball bearing, industrial diamonds, or certain medicines might be produced on the moon. T

Meteorologists will have opportunities to forecast weather on earth. Cosmologists can study the origin of the solar system. Astronomers(天文学家) can use their optical te

Surprising new research suggests it can actually be good to feel bad at work, and that feeling good in the workplace can lead to negative outcomes. The study of emotions in the workplace, edited by University of Liverpool res
71、earchers Drs. Dirk Lindebaum and Peter Jordan, is the _51_ of a Special Issue of the journal Human Relations.They found that the _52_ held assumption that positivity in the workplace produces positive outcomes, while negative emotions lead to negative outcomes, may be in need for _53_. This is partl
72、y due to this assumption _54_ to take into account the differences in work contexts which affect outcomes.For instance, anger does not always lead to negative outcomes and can be used as a force for good through acting upon injustices. In some _55_, anger can be considered a force for good if motiva
73、ted by perceived violations(违背) of moral standards. An employee, for example, could express anger constructively after a manager has treated a fellow worker _56_. In such cases, anger can be useful to _57_ these acts of injustice repeating themselves in the future.Likewise, being too positive in the
74、 workplace, _58_ resulting in greater well-being and greater productivity, can lead to self-satisfaction and superficiality(肤浅). One article within the issue also finds that, within team situations, negativity can have a good effect, leading to less _59_ and therefore greater discussion among worker
75、s which _60_ team effectiveness.An interesting contradiction(矛盾) is identified in another study of the special issue. Here, people gain _61_ from doing “good” in the context of helplines by providing support to people in times of emotional distress. _62_, they are negatively affected by their line o

Lindebaum said, “The findings of the studies published in this Special Issue _63_ the widely held assumption that in the workplace positive emotions _64_ a positive outcome, and vice verse.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.When you say that someone has a good memory, what exa
81、ctly do you mean? Are you saying that the person has fast recall or that he or she _51_ information quickly? Or maybe you just mean that the person remembers a lot about her or his childhood. The truth is that it is _52_ to say exactly what memory is. Even scientists who have been studying memory fo
82、r decades say they are still trying to _53_ exactly what it is. We do know that a particular memory is not just one thing stored somewhere in the brain. _54_, a memory is made up of bits and pieces of information stored all over the brain. Perhaps the best way to _55_ memory is to say that it is a p
83、rocessa process of recording, storing, and getting back information. Practice and repetition can help to _56_ the pieces that make up our memory of that information. Memory can be _57_ affected by a number of things. _58_ nutrition can affect a persons ability to store information. Excessive alcohol
84、 use can also weaken memory and cause permanent _59_ to the brain over the long term. A vision or hearing problem may affect a persons ability to notice certain things, thus making it _60_ to register information in the brain. When people talk about memory, they often _61_ short-term memory and long
85、-term memory. If you want to call a store or an office that you dont call often, you look in the telephone book for the number. You dial the number, and then you forget it! You use your short-term memory to remember the number. Your short-term memory lasts about 30 seconds, or half a minute. _62_, y
86、ou dont need to look in the telephone book for your best friends number, because you already know it. This number is in your long-term memory, which _63_ information about things you have learned and experienced through the years. Why do you forget things sometimes? The major reason for forgetting s
87、omething is that you did not learn it well enough _64_. For example, if you meet some new people and right away forget their names, it is because you did not _65_ the names at the first few seconds when you heard them. 51.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Gallup used to conduct a poll(投票) that asked students to name the school subject that they considered to be the most difficult. Not _51_, mathematics came out on top of the difficulty chart. So what is it about math that makes
92、 it difficult?D defines the word “difficult” as “not easily or readily done; requiring much _52_ or planning to be performed successfully.” This definition gets to the point of the problem when it comes to math. What makes math difficult is that it takes patience and persistence. For many students,
93、math is not something that comes _53_. It takes effort. It is a subject that sometimes requires students to devote lots and lots of time and _54_.This means, for many, the problem has little to do with brain power; it is mostly a matter of staying power. And since students dont make their own timeli
94、nes, they can _55_ the time as the teacher moves on to the next topic.In fact, there is also an element of brain style in the big picture, according to many scientists. They believe that people are born with _56_ math understanding skills. Logical, left-brain thinkers tend to understand things in se
95、quential bits, while artistic, intuitive, right-brainers are more _57_. They take in a lot of information at one time and allow time to let it “sink in”. So left-brain students may grasp concepts _58_ while right-brain students dont. To the right brain student, time loss can make them feel confused
96、and behind. Unfortunately in busy classrooms with too many students, students are not always _59_ enough time. We have to move on, ready or not.Math know-how is also cumulative(积累), which means it works much like a pile of building blocks. You have to gain enough _60_ in one area before you can effe
97、ctively go on to “build upon” another area.

Even worse, it _51_ our kids.Al Gore famously _52_ how a sea-level rise of 20 feet would almost completely flood Florida, New York, Holland, and Shanghai, even though the United Nations says that such a thing will not even happen, _53_ that sea levels will rise 20 times less than t

When _54_ with these exaggerations（夸大）, some of us say that they are for a good cause, and surely there is no harm done if the result is that we focus even more on handling climate change.This _55_ is astonishingly wrong. Such exaggerations do plenty of harm. Worrying excessively about global w
105、arming means that we worry less about other things, where we could do so much more good. We focus, _56_, on global warmings impact on malaria (疟疾)-which will put slightly more people at _57_in 100 years - instead of dealing with the half a billion people _58_ from malaria today with prevention and t

If the planet is certain to be destroyed owing to global warming, people wonder, why do anything? A record 54% of American

A _60_ of people now believe incorrectly that global warming is not even caused by humans.But the _61_ cost of exaggeration, I believe, is the unnecessary alarm that it causes particularly among children.

It was soon followed by other nation
114、al _51_, in continental Europe, and finally came to London _52_ the first real international exhibition was held. Since their start in 1851, the _53_ of world expositions has developed gradually. Three eras can be distinguished: the era of industrialization, the era of cultural exchange, and the era
115、 of nation branding.Industrialization (1851-1938)The first era could be called the era of industrialization and covered the period from 1851to 1938. In these days, world expositions were _54_ focused on trade and famous for the display of technological inventions and advancements. World expositions
116、were the _55_, where the state of the art in science and technology from around the world was brought together. Inventions such as the telephone were first presented during this era. An important part of the _56_ of Worlds Fairs stems from this first era._57_exchange (1939-1991)The 1939 New York Wor
117、lds Fair and the 1949 Stockholm Worlds Fair were different from the original focus of the expositions. From then on, Worlds Fairs became more strongly based on a _58_ theme of cultural significance, and began to address issues of humankind. Technology and inventions remained _59_, but no longer as t
118、he principal subjects of the Fair. Cross-cultural dialogue and the exchange of solutions became _60_ elements of the expos. It was also during this time, specifically in the 1960s, that BIE organizers started calling Worlds Fair “Expos”.Nation branding (1992-present)From Expo88 in Brisbane onwards,
119、countries started to use World Expositions more widely and more strongly as a platform to improve their national images through their pavilions. Finland, Japan, Canada, France and Spain are cases in point. A large study by Tjaco Walvis called “Expo 2000 Hanover in Numbers” showed that improving nati
120、onal images was the primary participation goal for 73% of the countries at Expo 2000. In a world where a strong national image is a key asset(财产), pavilions became advertising _61_, and the Expo a channel for nation branding. _62_, cultural and symbolic reasons, organizing countries (and the cities
121、and regions hosting them) also use the world exposition to brand themselves.Future expositions2017will see a recognized exposition Bidding may begin as early as 2012 for this smaller-sized exposition.

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 _52_ to do the work, that most people
127、do not listen well. Listening well also requires total _53_ upon someone else. An essential part of listening well is the rule known as bracketing. Bracketing includes the temporary giving up or _54_ of your own prejudices and desires, to experience as far as possible someone elses world from the in
128、side, stepping into his or her shoes. _55_, since listening well involves bracketing, it also involves a temporary _56_ of the other person. Sensing this acceptance, the speaker will seem quite willing to _57_ up the inner part of his or her mind to the listener. True communication is under way and
129、the energy required for listening well is so great that it can be _58_ only by the will to extend oneself for mutual growth. Most of the time we _59_ this energy. Even though we may feel in our business dealings or social relationships that we are listening well, what we are usually doing is listeni
130、ng _60_. Often we have a prepared list in mind and wonder, as we listen, how we can achieve certain _61_ 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 _62_ to li

It wasnt until toward the end of my doctor career that I have found the knowledge that one is being truly listened to is frequently therapeutic(有疗效的) In about a quarter of the patients I saw, _63_ improvement was shown during the first few months of psychotherapy,
132、before any of the _64_ of problems had been uncovered or explained. There are several reasons for this phenomenon, but chief among them, I believe, was the patients _65_ 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.51.

Fear is often associated with weakness. Fear is something to be _51_. But thats not true, according to Time For Kids magazine. Fear can be go
137、od for us. Fear tells us about _52_. Without fear, we wouldnt know to run away from a tiger or step back from a cliff. In a study published in the Justice Quarterly journal in August, researchers from Michigan State University said that a healthy fear or crime keeps teenagers away from _53_ dangerou
138、s people, places, and activities. Fear makes us jump, scream and sweat. But _54_, sometimes we make ourselves feel fear _55_. Think about scary books and movies, and also the long lines for a scary roller coaster ride. Margee Kerr, a US sociologist, explained why to Time For Kids. Fear _56_ our brai

140、屋), and youll see lots of smiles and high fives,” Kerr told Time For Kids. That also explains why schools and companies organize _61_ trips and physical activities to _62_ team spirit. People _63_ and deal with fear in different ways. If you happen to be a “coward” (胆小的) who gets scared easily, dont
141、 worry. There is some evidence that being scared can help a person manage stressful situations. Kerr said that things like giving a presentation in front of your class or performing in a school play help build a sort of _64_ to fear that makes us more confident. “You become more comfortable with the
142、 physical experience of fear, and so you are better able to work through it during _65_ situations,” said Kerr. So learn to love your fear. It only grows when we forget how helpful our fear is trying to be.51. A. intendedB. avoided C. suspectedD. investigated52. A. disadvantageB. courageC. dangerD.

Since December, 20,000 teachers from kindergarten through 12th grade have _52_coding lessons, according to Code.org, a group backed by the tech industry that offers free curriculums._53_, some 30 school districts have agreed to add coding classes in the fall. And policy m
148、akers in nine states have begun awarding the same_54_ for computer science classes that they do for basic math and science courses, rather than treating them as optional courses.It is a remarkable change for computer science. Smart phones and apps are commonplace now, and engineering careers are _55

To many parents, coding looks more like a basic life skill, one that might someday _56_ a great job or even instant riches.The spread of coding instruction, _57_just new, is “never known theres never been a move this fast in education,” said Elliot Soloway, a professor of education and computer s
150、cience at the University of Michigan. He sees it as very positive, _58_inspiring students to develop a new passion, perhaps the way that teaching frog dissection (解剖) may inspire future surgeons and biologists.But the exposure to early coding comes with _59_, too. It is not clear that teaching basic
151、 computer science in grade school will beget future jobs or encourage _60_ creativity and logical thinking. And particularly for younger children, Dr. Soloway said, the activity is more like a video game, but not likely to impart actual programming skills. A coding curriculum, _61_ by Code. Org., co
152、mbines basic instruction with videogames involving Angry Birds and hungry zombies. The lessons do not _62_ traditional computer language. Rather, they use simple word commands like “move forward” or “turn right” that children can click on and move around, to _63_ an Angry Bird to capture a pig.The m
