12、e space. The general crisis has overtaken the modern world everywhere and in almost every aspect of life. And the crisis shows _18_ (it) differently in each country, involving different areas and taking on different forms. In the United States of America, one of its most characteristic and suggestiv
13、e aspects is the crisis that _19_ (appearance) again in education that, during the last decade at least, has now become a _20_ (politics) problem of the first significance, reported on almost daily in the newspapers.To be sure, no great _21_ (imagine) is required to detect the dangers of a constantl
14、y progressing decline of elementary standards throughout the entire school system, and the seriousness of the trouble has been _22_ (proper) underlined by the countless efforts, which are certainly ineffective, of the _23_ (educate) authorities to stem the tide (扭转局面).Still, if one compares this cri
15、sis in education with the experiences of other countries in the _24_ (twenty) century, with the revolutionary confusing state after the First World War, with concentration and extermination camps, or even with the deep discomfort which, despite appearances of prosperity (繁荣) to the contrary, has spr
16、ead throughout Europe ever since the end of the Second World War, there is to a small extent _25_ (difficult) to take a crisis in education as seriously as it deserves.It is tempting indeed to regard it as a local phenomenon, unconnected with the _26_ (large) issues of the century, to be blamed on s
17、ome peculiar life in the United States which is not likely to find a counterpart (对应物) in other parts of the world.Yet, if this were true, the crisis in our school system would not have become a political issue and the educational authorities would not have been _27_ (able) to deal withit intime.Sec
18、tion C (共10分，每小题1分)Directions: 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 have been told by more than one bookseller that, here in China, so far as books on English are concerne
19、d, grammars sell better than other kinds of books except readers and dictionaries. And _28_ seems to me that nearly every Chinese who learns English at all reads a grammar. I myself am a serious student of grammar; I cannot tell how many English grammar books I _29_, by Chinese, English, American, J
20、apanese, Danish and Dutch authors, and am always on the look-out for new ones.The object of this article, _30_, is to advise you not to devote too much time to the study of grammar. I study grammar for grammars sake, but I do not think every student of English should do so. You study English in orde
21、r to be able to make practical use of it. This object _31_ by mere study of grammar. I do not even think I should now be able to write such simple English _32_ that of this book if I had read nothing but grammars.Grammar tells you some general rules, some exceptions to rules, and perhaps some idioms
22、. But the correct use of English is not a mere matter of such. _33_, grammar has what is called the double object, as in “He gave her a pen”; but it would be wrong to say “He introduced her a friend”, in which “her” and “friend” seem to _34_ the double object. The fact is that “introduce” cannot tak
23、e the double object; but this point is not to be learnt from grammar but only from careful reading. Many Chinese students write _35_ that might be justified by one grammatical rule or another but are certainly wrong.I believe you have already read a few grammars, and probably have spent a great deal
24、 of time on the subject, though you _36_ not now be able to write anything say a short letter grammatically perfect. Grammar can help you to use English, but only to a certain extent. Careful reading and constant practice are _37_. Do not look on the study of grammar as all or nearly all that you ha

27、the following passages. Each 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)Have you ever wished that you could mak
28、e your little sisters teddy bear talk to her? Or have you ever wanted to bring a puppet (木偶) to life? If so, you may be interested in learning the art of ventriloquism (腹语术). A ventriloquist can make an ordinary object seem to be alive by giving it a personality, movement, and speech. Your object ca
29、n be a puppet, or a doll. Give your new “friend” a name, and then decide on the personality that he will have. The next step is to give your friend movements that agree with the personality you have chosen. Now you can learn to make your “friend” talk. A ventriloquist will control his mouth and lips
30、 so that it will appear that his voice is coming from the object he is using. This will take practice, but you can do it. First, decide on a voice that is different from your own. It could be higher or lower than yours, or could even have a special accent. Then, find a clean teaspoon and hold the ha
31、ndle between your front teeth. Now, look into a mirror and talk, using the voice you created for your friend and holding the handle of the teaspoon tightly between your teeth. Practicing with the spoon in your mouth will help you learn to keep your mouth from moving. Now try telling a joke in your n
32、ormal voice and have your friend speak in his voice. Practice those words until you can say them without your lips moving at all. Ventriloquism is fun. It also requires hard work to become good at it. The most important thing to do is practice. But if you are willing to take the time to give your fr
33、iend an interesting personality, to practice lively movements, and to work on good mouth control, then you will be well on your way to becoming a ventriloquist!38. According to the text, a ventriloquist _. A. is a person who can make puppets B. needs to work with another person C. can speak without
34、using his mouth D. can make an object seem to speak 39. You need to hold the handle of a teaspoon between your front teeth so that _. A. your voice will become different B. your mouth and lips will not move C. you can tell a more interesting joke D. you can feel your mouths movements 40. If you want
35、 to be good at ventriloquism, you _.A. need to spend much time practicing B. must learn from famous ventriloquistsC. should learn at least one special accent D. must have a great doll to practice with (B)Ask most American children what they want to be when they grow up, and they probably will say “d
36、octor” or “lawyer.” Though our culture, our economy, indeed our very security are heavily dependent on science and engineering, only 12 percentofAmerican high school students graduate with the prerequisites (必要条件) for a careerinscience or engineering. Worse yet, only 6 percent ofminority children ar
37、e said to be so prepared. Dont be too surprised. If you ask further why the majorityofthe high school students would choose a careerinmedicine or law, the answers will be straight outofsome popular TV shows.“Doctors help people. They save lives.” “Lawyers beat the bad guys.” Most students would say.
38、 Now, how about science or engineering as a career choice? The answers will be just as predictable: “Get real! Who wants to be a geek? They all are nerds (书呆子). Besides, I hate math.”Inour media, scientists and engineers typically are portrayed as introverted (内向的) and humorless. They always wear wh
39、ite lab coats, with a collectionofpencilsintheir pocket protectors. They wear glasses with black plastic frames. If more students are to choose technical careers, they must have a better view presented to them. They need to be told, for instance, that the inventionoflifesaving equipment saves lives
40、just as surely as the applicationofitinthe hospital. It also might help if someone emphasized to students that the lawyer who saved the defendant (被告) by introducing the DNA evidence would have seen him hanged had it not been for the scientists who discovered DNA. Whatever we do, until students stop
41、 thinkingofthe term “engineer” as a synonym (同义词) for “geek,” itisimpossible to expect our children to change their views towards scientists and engineers. 41. Whatisthe problem with most American children when they choose their careers? A. They have a very low opinionofscience and engineering. B. T
42、hey are too anxious to succeedindifferent fields. C. They are not sure what career suits them best. D. They do not have enough confidencein themselves. 42. Whichofthe following has influenced American students greatlyintheir choiceoftheir careers? A. Parents and teachers opinions. B. TV shows and va
43、rious publications. C. Great discoveries made by doctors and lawyers. D. Culture, security and economy. 43.Inorder to change the students view towards scientists and engineers, the writer suggests that _. A. teachers reconsider their wayofteaching mathematics B. scientists and engineers change their
44、 images a little bitC. the media stop praising doctors and lawyers excessivelyD. students be told about the wondersofscience and engineering44. Judging from whatissaidinthe passage, the writer obviously believes that _. A. scientists and engineers are more important than doctors and lawyers B. scien
45、tists and engineers are not as important as doctors and lawyersC. science and engineering have been dangerously ignoredD. there are too many doctors and lawyers nowadays (C)Like to kick back for an afternoon siesta (午休)? Good news: A new study shows that regular napping may cut your risk of dying of
46、 a heart attack of other heart problems.Researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) and the University of Athens Medical School in Greece, tracked 23,681 apparently healthy men and women, aged from 20 to 86, for more than six years. They found those who took afternoon siestas of 30 m
47、inutes or more at least three times a week had a 37 percent lower risk of dying from heart disease than those who did not. What is more impressive is that researchers found that working men who took regular or occasional naps had a 64 percent lower risk of death from heart attacks or other heart-rel
48、ated illnesses than their non-napping compeers. And working women? “The apparent effect was evident mainly among working men.” says author Dimitrios Trichopculos who leads the study. “There were not enough coronary (冠心病) deaths among the working women (only six ) in this group to allow sound inferen
49、ce.”Trichopoulos, a cancer prevention and epidemiology (流行病学) professor at HSPH, says researchers decided to look into this issue, because coronary death tends to be low in populations in which the frequency of siestas tends to be high. Trichopoulos says that their working hypothesis (假设) has been t
50、hat napping may have stress-releasing properties and that if further studies net similar results, “then lifestyle changes that would allow afternoon napping might have to be considered.” Of course, thats easier said than done, especially in the United States, where employers are not exactly known to
51、 encourage workers to nap. “I am fully aware that the lifestyle in the US does not leave much room for changes of this type,” he says.But afternoon siestas have long been a part of daily life in Greece, where the study took place, as well as in other Mediterranean and some Latin American countries,
52、which tend to have low mortality rates (死亡率) from coronary disease. The Mediterranean diet, rich in fruit, vegetables, beans and olive oil, has also been credited (相信) for keeping a lid on heart disease. Trichopoulos says the study considered diet, physical activity and other factors that are predic
53、tive of coronary mortality. He notes that researchers would like to review the data again once there are “more outcomes among men and particularly women.” “No firm conclusion can be drawn on the basis of this study alone, except that the issue is worth further investigation,” Trichopoulos says. “Rig
54、ht now, we would only believe those who take a siesta that this may actually be not simply pleasant and relaxing, but also a healthy habit.”45. Why are workers least encouraged to take naps in the United States?A. Because the employers are strongly against workers taking naps.B. Because the workers
55、are not accustomed to taking naps.C. Because the workers do not have much room to take naps.D. Because their lifestyle prevents the changes of this type.46. The underlined phrase “keeping a lid on” in paragraph 5 probably means _.A. being closely related to B. providing a cure forC. reducing the ris
56、k of D. explaining the cause of 47. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT correct? A. The effect of taking naps on preventing heart attacks was obvious among working men.B. The effect of taking naps on preventing heart attacks was obvious among all workers.C. Vegetables
57、and fruits are believed to be good for preventing death from coronary disease. D. Taking afternoon siestas is not only pleasant and relaxing, but also a healthy habit48. This writers attitude towards taking afternoon siestas is most probably _.A. positive B. negative C. doubtful D. unclearSection B
