Grammar and VocabularySection ADirections: After reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks
16、 with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.（A）Every object tells a story. Even the most ordinary objects can present to us powerful images. Sometimes it is the ordinary nature of these objects that actua
17、lly _25_ (make) them so extraordinary. Such is the case with an old leather shoe in a museum in Alaska. At first glance it does not look like much. It is a womans shoe of a style popular in the 1890s. But what is unique about this shoe is _26_ it was found. It was discovered on the Checkout Pass, th
18、e famous trail used by the people seeking gold in Alaska. Who it belonged to or why it was left there _27_ (be) not known. Was it perhaps dropped by accident as the woman climbed up the 1500 stairs carved out of ice? Or did she throw away goods that she didnt need in order to travel_28_(light)?Over
19、100, 000 people with “gold fever” made this trip hoping to become millionaires. Few of them understood that on their way they would have to cross a harsh wildness. Unprepared for such a dangerous journey, many died of starvation and exposure _29_ the cold weather.The Canadian government finally star
20、ted requiring the gold seekers to bring one ton of supplies with them. This was thought to be enough for a person to survive for one year. They would carry their supplies in backpacks each _30_ (weigh) up to fifty pounds; it usually took at least 40 trips to get everything to the top and over the pa
21、ss. Whoever dropped the shoe must_31_ (be) a brave and determined woman. Perhaps she was successful and made_32_ to Alaska. Perhaps she had to turn back in defeat. No one will ever know for sure, but what we do know is that she took part in one of the greatest adventures in the 19th century.（B）An ol
22、d friendship had grown cold. Where once there had been closeness, there was only strain. Now pride kept me from picking up the phone.Then one day I dropped in on another old friend, whos had a long career as a minister and counselor. We were seated in his study-surrounded by maybe a thousand books a
23、nd fell into deep conversation about everything from small computers to the tormented life of Beethoven.The subject finally turned to friendship and _33_ perishable it seems to be these days. I mentioned my own experience as an example. “Relationships are mysteries,” my friend said. “Some endure. _3
24、4_ fall apart.”Gazing out his window to the wooded Vermont hills, he pointed toward a neighboring farm, “Used to be a large barn over there.” Next to a red-frame house were the footings of _35_ had been a sizable structure.“It was solidly built, probably in the 1870s. But like so many of the places
25、around here, it went down because people left for richer lands in the Midwest. No one took care of the barn. Its roof needed _36_(patch); rainwater got under the eaves and dripped down inside the posts and beams.”One day a high wind came along, and the whole barn began to tremble. “You could hear th
26、is creaking, first, like old sailing-ship timbers, and then a sharp series of cracks and a tremendous roaring sound. Suddenly it was a heap of scrap lumber.”“After the storm blew over, I went down and saw these beautiful, old oak timbers, solid as could be. I asked the fellow who owns the place what
27、 had happened. He said he figured the rainwater _37_(settle) in the pinholes, where wooden dowels held the joints together. Once those pins were rotted, there was nothing to link the giant beams together.”We both gazed down the hill. Now all that was left of the barn was its cellar and its border of
28、 lilac shrubs.My friend said he had turned the incident over and over in his mind, and finally came to recognize some parallels between building a friendship: _ _38_ _ strong you are, how notable your attainments, you have enduring significance only in your relationship to others.“To make your life
29、a sound structure that will serve others and fulfill your own potential,” he said, “you have to remember that strength, however massive, cant endure _39_ it has the interlocking support of others. Go it alone and youll inevitably tumble.”“Relationships have to be cared for,” he added, “like the roof
30、 of a barn. Letters unwritten, thanks unsaid, confidences violated, quarrels unsettled-all this acts like rainwater seeping into the pegs, weakening the link between the beams.”My friend shook his head. “It was _40_ good barn. And it would have taken little to keep it in good repair. Now it will pro
31、bably never be rebuilt.”Later that afternoon I got ready to leave. “You wouldnt like to borrow my phone to make a call, I dont suppose?” he asked.“Yes.” I said, “I think I would. Very much.”Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used
32、once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A. A. criticism B. acclaimed C. shifts D. institute E. industriousness F. establish G. credit H. standards I. specialized J. retain K. demonstrateAlthough Henry Fords name is closely associated with the concept of mass production, he should receiv
33、e equal _41_ for introducing labor practices as early as 1913 that would be considered advanced even by todays _42_. Safety measures were improved, and the work day was reduced to eight hours, compared with the ten-or twelve-hour day common at the time. In order to accommodate to the shorter work da
34、y, the entire factory was converted from two to three_43_.In addition, sick leaves as well as improved medical care for those injured on the job were instituted. The Ford Motor Company was one of the first factories to develop a technical school to train _44_ skilled laborers and an English language
35、 school for immigrants. Some efforts were even made to hire the handicapped and provide jobs for former convicts.The most widely _45_ innovation was the five-dollar-a-day minimum wage that was offered in order to recruit and _46_ the best mechanics and to discourage the growth of labor unions. Ford
36、explained the new wage policy in terms of efficiency and profit sharing. He also mentioned the fact that his employees would be able to purchase the automobiles that they produced in effect creating a market for the product. In order to qualify for the minimum wage, an employee had to establish a de
37、cent home and _47_ good personal habits, including sobriety, thriftiness, _48_, and dependability. Although some _49_was directed at Ford for involving himself too much in the personal lives of his employees, there can be no doubt that, at a time when immigrants were being taken advantage of in frig
38、htful ways, Henry Ford was helping many people to _50_ themselves in America.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in 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.I live in th
39、e land of Disney, Hollywood and year-round sun. You may think people in such a glamorous, fun-filled place are happier than others. If so, you have some_51_ ideas about the nature of happiness.Many intelligent people still_52_ happiness with fun. The truth is that fun and happiness have little or no
40、thing in common. Fun is what we experience during an act. Happiness is what we experience after an act. It is a deeper, more abiding emotion.Going to an amusement park or ball game, watching a movie or television, are fun activities that help us relax, _53_ forget our problems and maybe even laugh.
41、But they do not bring happiness, because their positive effects _54_ when the fun ends.I have often thought that if Hollywood stars have a role to play, it is to teach us that happiness has _55_ to do with fun. These rich, beautiful individuals have constant _56_to glamorous parties, fancy cars, exp
42、ensive homes, everything that spell “happiness”. But in memoir after memoir, celebrities _57_ the unhappiness hidden beneath all their fun: depression, alcoholism, drug addiction, broken marriages, troubled children and profound loneliness.Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds
43、dating to be _58_ satisfying. If hes honest, he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment, for commitment is in fact quite _59_. The single life is filled with fun, adventure and excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most _60_ features._61_, couples that choose not
44、 to have children are deciding in favor of painless fun over painful happiness. They can dine out whenever they want and sleep as late as they want. Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole nights sleep or a three-day vacation. I dont know any parent who would choose the word fun to des
45、cribe raising children.Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating _62_ we can ever come to. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can _63_ increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or tho
46、se fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems _64_. And it liberates us from _65_: we now understand that all those rich and glamorous people who we were so sure are happy because they are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.51.

50、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）As a young child I never really thought about my parents lives in Irvine, how small their world must have seemed, never extending beyond the Dragon Cafe. Every day
51、 my parents did the same jobs in the restaurant. I watched the same customers come for meals, for morning coffee, for afternoon soft drinks and French fries. For my parents one day was like the next. They settled into an uneasy and distant relationship with each other. Their love, their tenderness,
52、they gave to me.But my life was changing. I became taller and bigger, my second teeth grew in white and straight. At school I began to learn about my adopted country. I spoke English like a native, without a trace of an accent. I played, thought, and dreamed in the language of our Irvine neighbors.
53、A few years later and I would no longer remember a time when I didnt speak their words and read their books. But my father and Uncle Yat still spoke the same halting English. My mother spoke only a few words. I began to translate conversations they had with the customers, switching between English a
54、nd Chinese. Whenever I stepped outside the restaurant it seemed I was entering a world unknown to my family: school, church, friends houses, the town beyond Main Street. I found it hard to imagine a year without winter any more, a home other than Irvine.For my mother, though, home would always be Ch
55、ina. In Irvine she lived among strangers, unable to speak their language. Whenever she talked about happy times, they were during her childhood in that distant land. A wistful smile would soften her face as she told me about sleeping and playing with her sister in the attic above her parents bedroom
56、. She once showed me a piece of jade-green silk cloth that was frayed and worn around the edge. In the center was a white lotus floating in varying shades of blue water, the embroidery so fine that when I held it at arms length the petals looked real. I had been helping her store away my summer clot
57、hes in the brown leather suitcase from Hong Kong when I noticed a piece of shiny material in the corner and asked her what it was. She took it out and spread it on her lap. My mother embroidered this herself. I was going to have it made into a cushion, but then my life changed and over here there se
58、ems to be no place for lovely things. Its all I have that reminds me of her, she said. Maybe, Su-Jen, one day you will do something with it. I admired the cloth some more, then she carefully folded it and stored it back in her suitcase. There was so little left from her old life. She said it was so
59、long ago that sometimes it felt as if it had never happened. But she described her life with such clarity and vividness that I knew all those memories lived on inside her. There was so little in this new country that gave her pleasure. The good things she found were related in some way to China: an
60、aria from a Chinese opera, a letter from a relative back home or from Aunt Hai-Lan in Toronto, written in Chinese, a familiar-looking script that I couldnt read and that had nothing to do with my life in Canada. There were times when I felt _about my own happiness in Irvine. We had come to Canada be
61、cause of me, but I was the only one who had found a home.66The primary purpose of the second paragraph is to _.A. provide insight into the motivations of the narrators parents and uncleB. recapture the pleasure the narrator experienced in learning a new languageC. emphasize the extent of the transfo

Fill in the blank of the last paragraph w
63、ith one of the following words that best fit the context and the theme.A. confusedB. exhilarated C. concerned D. guilty 69. Which of the following best characterizes the narrators development over the course of the passage? A. She grows apart from the cultural tradition of her parents.B. She overcom
64、es the fear she felt about the new land.C. She begins to view the inhabitants of Irvine from her mothers perspective.D. She becomes less and less interested in her mothers stories.（B）Good news travelers! Well-known travel guide publisher Lonely Planet has issued its top 10 cities to visit in 2015. S
65、ome of the selections are home to big events, and others are relatively unknown, but all are worthy of an adventure.Here is a glimpse at some of the best places you can visit. Find your favorite and put it on your travel list for this year. Washington, DC Rank: 1 Attraction: History in the makingFro

The year 2015 marks the 150th anniversary of Abraham Lincolns assassination, and a series of special events will be held to co
67、mmemorate the occasion. Lincolns famous top hat, the pistol that fired the deadly shot, and other artifacts from that fateful day will be on display.Milan, ItalyRank: 3Attraction: A cradle of fine dining and culture If you are a gastronome, dont miss Milan in 2015. Expo 2015 will be held between May
68、 and October, and the focus is on food.The 1.1-square-kilometer fairgrounds will be laid out like a classical Roman city, with symmetrical avenues, a canal, and a huge artificial lake surrounded by pavilions.

69、ians and dance performers, or indulge in nighttime wine-tasting.Plovdiv, BulgariaRank: 6Attraction: Architectural gems emerge after 800 years Nestled behind Bulgarias dramatic Rhodope Mountains and filled with historical treasures by the thousand, Plovdiv is one of Europes most beautiful old towns.
70、In recent years, it was transformed into a spirited modern city with charming cobblestoned streets, delicately painted houses, craft markets and quirky museums. Colorful landmarks like St Nedelyas bell tower contrast against Brutalist creations like the central post office. Apart from cultural sites
71、, you can explore the Asens Fortress, a Thracian outpost perched above jagged valleys.Salisbury, UKRank: 7Attraction: The Magna Cartas 800th anniversaryFor too long Salisbury has been considered a short stop on the way to Stonehenge.

73、pter House, alongside an array of talks, evensongs, and a flower festival.Chennai, IndiaRank: 9Attraction: Discover Indias other megacity While travelers rave about Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata, Chennai has always been an overlooked Indian megacity.

Expo 2015 will be held between May and October in Milan.(C)Space exploration has always been the province of dreamers：The human imagination readily soars where human ingenuity (创造力）str
78、uggles to follow. A Voyage to the Moon, often cited as the first science fiction story, was written by Cyrano de Bergerac in 1649. Cyrano was dead and buried for a good three centuries before the first manned rockets started to fly. In 1961, when President Kennedy declared that America would send a
79、man to the moon by the decades end, those words, too, had a dreamlike quality. They resonated with optimism and ambition in much the same way as the most famous dream speech of all, delivered by Martin Luther King Jr. two years later. By the end of the decade, both visions had yielded concrete resul
80、ts and transformed American society. And yet in many ways the two dreams ended up at odds with each other. The fight for racial and economic equality is intensely pragmatic (讲求实用的）and immediate in its impact. The urge to explore space is just the opposite. It is figuratively and literally otherworld
81、ly in its aims. When the dust settled, the space dreamers lost out. There was no grand follow-up to the Apollo missions. The technologically compromised space shuttle program has just come to an end, with no successor. The perpetual argument is that funds are tight, that we have more pressing proble
82、ms here on Earth. Amid the current concerns about the federal deficit, reaching toward the stars seems a dispensable luxuryas if saving one-thousandth of a single years budget would solve our problems. But human ingenuity struggles on. NASA is developing a series of robotic probes that will get the
83、most bang from a buck. They will serve as modern Magellans, mapping out the solar system for whatever explorers follow, whether man or machine. On the flip side, companies like Virgin Galactic are plotting a bottom-up assault on the space dream by making it a reality to the public. Private spaceflig
84、ht could lie within reach of rich civilians in a few years. Another decade or two and it could go mainstream. The space dreamers end up benefiting all of us-not just because of the way they expand human knowledge, or because of the spin-off technologies they produce, but because the two types of dre
85、ams feed off each other. Both Martin Luther King and John Kennedy appealed to the idea that humans can transcend what were once considered inherent limitations. Today we face seeming challenges in energy, the environment, health care. Tomorrow we will transcend these as well, and the dreamers will d
86、eserve a lot of the credit. The more evidence we collect that our species is capable of greatness, the more we will actually achieve it. 73. The author mentions Cyrano de Bergerac in order to show that_. A. imagination is the mother of invention B. ingenuity is essential for science fiction writers
87、C. it takes patience for humans to realize their dreams D. dreamers have always been interested in science fiction 74. How did the general public view Kennedys space exploration plan? A. It symbolized the American dream.B. It was as urgent as racial equality. C. It sounded very much like a dream. D.
88、 It made an ancient dream come true. 75. What does the author say about Americas aim to explore space? A. It may not bring about immediate economic gains. B. It cannot be realized without technological innovation. C. It will not help the realization of racial and economic equality. D. It cannot be a
89、chieved without a good knowledge of the other worlds. 76. Which of the following is the closest to the underlined phrase “feed off” in the last paragraph?A. supportB. contradictC. weakenD. substitute for77. What is the authors attitude toward space programs? A. Critical. B. Reserved. C. Unbiased. D.
90、 Supportive. Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Oil is the substance that lubricates(起润滑剂作用) the worlds economy. Because so many of our modern technologies and services depend on oil, nations, corporation
91、s, and institutions that control the trade in oil exercise extraordinary power. The energy crisis of 1973-1974 in the United States demonstrated how the price of oil can affect US government policies and the energy-using.By 1973, domestic US sources of oil were peaking, and the nation was importing
92、more of its oil, depending on a constant flow from abroad to keep cars on the road and machines running. In addition, at that time a greater percentage of homes and electrical plants were run on petroleum than today. Then, in 1973, the predominant Arab nations of the Organization of Petroleum Export
93、ing Countries (OPEC) resolved to stop selling oil to the United States. The move was prompted by OPECs desire to raise prices by restricting supply and by its opposition to US support of Israel in the Arab-Israeli Yom Kippur War. The embargo (禁运) created panic in the West and caused oil prices to sh
94、oot up. Short-term oil shortage drove American consumers to wait in long lines at gas pumps.In response to the embargo, the US government enforced a series of policies designed to reduce reliance on foreign oil. These included developing additional domestic sources (such as those on Alaskas North Sl
95、ope), resuming extraction at sites that had been shut down because of cost inefficiency, capping the price that domestic producers could charge for oil, and beginning to import oil from a greater diversity of nations. The government also established a stockpile (贮存) of oil as a short-term buffer (缓冲
96、) against future shortages. Stored underground in large salt caves in Louisiana, this stockpile is called the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, and currently contains over 600 million barrels of oil, roughly equivalent to one months supply.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE
97、 THAN TEN WORDS.)78. We learn from the passage that in todays world, whoever dominates the oil market will be able to _. 79. What were the immediate consequences of OPECs embargo?80.
