Grammar and vocabulary Section ADirections: After reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passages cohe

15、rent and grammatically correct. For the blanks 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 )Is It Safe to Fly With an Infant on Your Lap?Federal (联邦的) transportation safety officials are using the dead

16、ly crash of an overloaded plane in Montana to restore (25) _ long-standing debate about whether small children should be allowed to travel on the laps (大腿部) of adults.The 10-seater plane crashed as it (26) _( land ) in Butte in March 2009, killing all 14 people aboard, including seven children. Inve

17、stigators say that several of the children were found far from the plane, suggesting that they werent properly restrained.The National Transportation Safety Board is asking regulators to require all passengers to have their own seats and seat belts, including children under the age of 2,who(27) _ (

18、allow ) to sit on an adults lap now.The crash was so severe that its unlikely anybody would have survived even with proper restraints, (28) _ the “accident renews the NTSBs longstanding concerns” about the restraints, the recommendation reads.The FAA (联邦航空局) agrees that the safest place for a child

19、on a flight is in a seat using an(29) _ ( approve ) child restraint and not on an adults lap. But the FAA wont make it a requirement because the agency believes many families with small children wouldnt pay the cost of an extra ticket, and instead would travel by highway, which statistically is much

20、 more dangerous than air travel.Last decade, the FAA considered(30) _( change ) the rule, but decided against it, (31) _ ( refer ) to statistics (统计数字) from 2004 showing nearly 43,000 people died on U.S. highways, compared to 13 on commercial flights.“What we found was (32) _ there were some parents

21、 who would be sensitive to price and they would choose to drive instead of fly,” FAA spokeswoman Alison Duquette said. “We would be forcing them into automobiles, which are less safe.”( B )Computers and GirlsThe girls in this sixth grade class in East Palo Alto, California, all have the same access

22、to computers as boys. But researchers say, by the time they get to high school, they are victims of (33) _ the researchers call a major new gender gap in technology. Janice Weinman of the American Association of University Women says, “Girls tend to be (34) _ ( comfortable ) than boys with the compu

23、ter. They use it more for word processing rather than for problem solving, rather than to discover new ways in which (35) _( understand) information.”After re-examining a thousand studies, the American Association of University Women researchers found that girls make up only a small percentage of st

24、udents in computer science classes. Girls constantly rate (36) _ significantly lower than boys in their ability and confidence in using computers. And they use computers less often than boys (37) _ the classroom. The instructor of this computer lab says hes already noticed some differences. Charles

25、Cheadle of Cesar Chavez School says, “Boys are not so afraid that they might do something that will harm the computer, (38) _girls are afraid they might break it somehow.”The software company Purple Moon says it has found what girls want - characters they can relate to and story lines relative to wh

26、ats going on in their own lives. Karen Gould of Purple Moon Software says, “What we have definitely found from girls is that there is no essential reason (39) _ they wouldnt want to play on a computer; it was just a content thing.”The sponsor of the study says it all boils down to this - the technol

27、ogy gender gap that separates the girls from the boys (40) _ be closed if women are to compete effectively with men in the 21st century. Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

28、A. immeasurablyB. replacedC. priorityD. failingE. frustratinglyF. potentialG. minorH. trickI. unrepairedJ. prospectK. wiringScientific breakthroughs mean that life expectancy continues to rise every year. But the medical advances which now make it possible to think about living to a very great age -

29、 if not forever - also raise profound practical and ethical issues. Is immortality (永生) a realistic _41_? Not for the foreseeable future. In last years Reith lectures, the gerontologist (老年病学家) Professor Tom Kirkwood firmly quashed (打消) the idea that genetic engineering might result in some kind of

30、“fountain of youth”. Considering how _42_slow the battles against cancer, heart disease and strokes have been, he said, it is fanciful to imagine that we could conquer death. On the other hand, scientists do now understand more about why we age, and what can be done to slow down the process. “Our an

31、cestral genes placed limited _43_on long-term maintenance and repair,” says Kirkwood. “Ageing comes about through the gradual build-up of _44_ faults in the cells and tissues of our bodies, not as the result of some active mechanism for death and destruction.” The _45_ , then, is to help the body re

32、pair the damage done by wear and tear. How can that be done? In many different ways, some of which are already pretty common. Organ transplants from pigs and monkeys are now old news - the American politician Jesse Helms has just had a ten-year-old pig valve (瓣膜) in his heart _46_. Doctors have succ

33、eeded in _47_computerized implants directly to nerve fibres, allowing the deaf to hear, and there is hope that electrodes (电极) planted in the brain may soon offer hope for the blind to see. But the real _48_at the moment lies in the field of stem cells - special cells that allow lizards (蜥蜴) to grow

34、 new tails and humans to grow new skin over _49_cuts. If scientists can learn how to control these cells, they could be used to reproduce parts of the body that are _50_. III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,

35、B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Since Alzheimers disease (阿尔茨海默病)and Parkinsons disease (帕金森病) are common and many notable people have developed them, they have received more public attention.Alzheimers DiseaseMany people imagine that Alzheimers dise

36、ase, the degenerative (退化的)disorder that eventually leaves sufferers with total memory loss, is an inevitable result of aging. This is not so. While the risks of contracting the disease increase with age, there are many elderly people whose memories are perfect. Most of us are so ill-_51_ about all

37、forms of memory loss that we label everything as “Alzheimers ”. Alzheimers disease itself can affect people as young as 30 and can progress either quickly or slowly. It can also _52_ the blame for other non-degenerative conditions such as deep depression. _53_, only an examination of the brain tissu

38、e during an autopsy (解剖) can produce an accurate _54_ of the disease.The causes of Alzheimers are unknown. They may be either _55_ or environmental. A study in 1996 of 13,000 people whose parents or siblings had the disease showed they had five times _56_ chance of passing away by the age of 80 than

39、 those with no family history of the problem._57_, there are other factors. In a study of identical twins, it was found that only about half of the twin pairs developed Alzheimers and, when both twins _58_ it, they did so as much as 15 years apart. The possibility that environment plays a part was b

40、oosted by another 1996 study, this time of two groups of elderly Japanese men. One group lived in Hawaii, the other group in Japan. The Hawaiian group had a much higher incidence of the disease.Aluminum (铝) has been blamed for the development of Alzheimers. This is because a high level aluminum has

41、been found in the brains of sufferers. The disease was first diagnosed at the beginning of the 20th century. It was at this time that aluminum was becoming widely _59_ for use in cooking pots.Memory loss, _60_ in performing familiar tasks, and problems with abstract thinking are all indicators of th

42、e beginning of the disease. One unusual feature is its impact on language. It attacks nouns first, then verbs. Grammar is one of the last things to go.Parkinsons DiseaseParkinsons disease (PD) is a progressive disorder of the central nervous system which _61_ more than one million Americans. Individ

43、uals with PD lack the substance dopamine (多巴胺), which is _62_ for the central nervous systems control of muscle activity. Parkinsons Disease is often characterized by shake, inflexibility in limbs and joints, speech disability and difficulty in _63_ physical movement. Late in the course of the disea

44、se, some patients develop dementia (痴呆症) and eventually Alzheimers disease. _64_, some Alzheimer patients develop symptoms of Parkinsons disease. Medications such as levodopa (左多巴), which changes itself into dopamine once inside the brain, which prevents degeneration of dopamine-containing neurons (

45、神经细胞), are used to improve diminished or _65_ motor symptoms in PD patients, but do not correct the mental changes that occur.51.A. judgedB. equippedC. informedD. advised52.A. takeB. putC. layD. hold53.A.

48、ollowing three 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 )The stylistic innovation in painting

49、known as Impressionism began in the 1870s. The Impressionists wanted to depict (描绘) what they saw in nature, but they were inspired to portray incomplete moments by the increasingly fast pace of modern life. They concentrated on the play of light over objects, people, and nature, breaking up seeming

50、ly solid surfaces, stressing vivid contrast between colors in sunlight and shade, and depiction reflected light in all of its possibilities. Unlike earlier artists, they did not want to observe the world from indoors. They abandoned the studio, painting in the open air and recording spontaneous(自然的)

51、impressions of their subjects instead of making outside sketches and then moving indoors to complete the work from memory.Some of the impressionists painting methods were affected by technological advances. For example, the shift from the studio to the open air was made possible in part by the arriv

52、al of cheap rail travel, which permitted easy and quick access to the countryside or seashore, as well as by newly developed chemical dyes and oils that led to folding paint tubes, which enabled artists to finish their paintings on the spot.Impressionism acquired its name not from supporters but fro

53、m angry art lovers who felt threatened by the new painting. The term “Impressionism” was born in 1874, when a group of artists who had been working together organized an exhibition of their paintings in order to draw public attention to their work. Reaction from the public and press was immediate, a

54、nd derisive (嘲笑的). Among the 165 paintings exhibited was one called Impression: Sunrise, by Claude Monet (1840-1926).Viewed through hostile eyes, Monets painting of a rising sun over a misty, watery scene seemed messy, hurried, and an insult to good taste. Borrowing Monets title, art critics extende

55、d the term “Impressionism” to the entire exhibit. In response, Monet and his 29 fellow artists in the exhibit adopted the same name as a symbol of their unity, despite individual differences. From then until 1886 Impressionism had all the enthusiasm for a “church”, as the painter Renoir put it. Mone

56、t was faithful to the Impressionist belief until his death, although many of the others moved on to new styles.66.Which of the following was one of the distinguishing characteristics of Impressionist painting according to the passage?A.The emphasis on people rather than nature scenes.B. The way the

57、subjects were presented from multiple angles. C. The focus on small solid objects.D. The depiction of the effects of light and color.67.The exhibition of paintings organized in 1874 resulted in all of the following EXCEPT_.A. attracting attention from the publicB. a negative reaction from the pressC

58、. an immediate demand for the paintings exhibitedD. creating a name for a new style of painting68. Which of the following caused the rejection of the impressionist exhibition?A. The small number of paintings on display.B.Lack of interest in exhibitions by young artists.C. The similarity between all

59、the paintings exhibited. D. Anger about seemingly poorly painted art.69.What aspect of painting in the nineteenth century does the passage mainly discuss?A. The impact of some artists resistance to the fast pace of life.B. The differences between two major styles of art.C. A technological advance in

60、 the materials used by artists.D. A group of artists with a new technique and approach to art.( B ) TAKE PART THE GAMES RIO DE JANEIRO TICKETSTORCHNEWSMORE News/News 25/05/2015 Updated on February, 18th, 2016, 16:11Follow the race to qualify for the Rio 2016 Olympic GamesAs competition to reach the

65、 When an athlete or team wins a quota( 配额;指标 ) place for their nation, the final decision on whether this slot is used and which athletes are sent is taken by the respective National Olympic Committee or National Paralympic Committee (NOC or NPC).

It is possible that unplaced athletes will win quota places for the Olympic Games. C. A quota place guarantees the athlete

70、who earns it will be competing in the Olympic Games. D. Each National Olympic Committee makes the final decision on which athlete to fill the quota. ( C )The Federal Communications Commission (联邦通讯委员会) (FCC) Chairman Kevin Martin just relaunched the formal review of media ownership rules. The agency

71、s “Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking,” issued July 25, is vague, but its intention is clear: to let a few giant media corporations swallow up more local television channels, radio stations and newspapers in a single market. Martins main target is the ban on “newspaper-broadcast cross-ownership”

72、that prohibits one company from owning the major daily newspaper as well as radio and TV stations in the same area. Hed also like to allow one company to own more than one TV station in smaller markets, and more than two in the largest cities. A few powerful firms in major cities have won waivers (弃

73、权) to the ban, or at least delays on enforcement, but those are the exceptions.That Dj vu youre feeling is because the FCC tried to push through the same rule changes in 2003 under then-Chairman Michael Powell. In response, millions of people - encouraged by groups such as the National Rifle Assn. a

74、nd the National Organization for Women - contacted the FCC and Congress to voice their opposition. The FCC approved the rule changes anyway, only to see them nearly overturned by Congress and then rejected by the courts. Despite the overwhelming public opposition, Martins latest attempt to eliminate

75、 cross-ownership rules is driven by the massive lobbying (游说) of a cartel (企业联盟) of second-tier big media companies specializing in newspaper and broadcast station ownership, such as Gannett, Media General and Tribune. Their motive is bigger profits.But whats good for Big Medias bottom line isnt alw

76、ays good for the rest of us. The first victim of “media company towns” would be journalism. When one firm owns most of a citys news outlets, who needs a bunch of competing newsrooms? Investigative reporting and extensive local coverage requires a costly staff. Its far cheaper to syndicate (出售给多个媒体)

77、fare from headquarters than to support a diversity of local voices. If your readers and viewers dont like it, where else are they going to go?Once the big chains start selling and exchanging their properties to build up larger fiefdoms (地盘),the already declining number of independent and minority ow

78、ners will be further squeezed out. Today, just one in five daily newspapers is owned by individuals or companies that dont own any other newspapers. According to the most recent FCC data, fewer than 4% of radio stations and 2% of TV stations are owned by minorities.Industry and Wall Street publicity

79、 says local media cant compete without further consolidation (整合). Yet media companies already enjoy higher profit margins than most industries. They say we must deregulate (解除控制). But radio and TV station ownership is by definition regulated - these are the public airwaves and there are only so man

80、y channels available in a community. The only question is on whose behalf will Washington make the rules: major media companies or the public?73.The rule on “newspaper-broadcast cross-ownership” intends to _.A.prevent companies from owning both television and radio stationsB. limit a company from ow

81、ning more than one television stationC.replace giant media corporations with media company townsD.protect local voices, vigorous competition and diverse viewpoints74.Which of the following will probably happen if the FCCs rule changes are approved?A. The government will completely dominate public sp

82、eech.B. The public will voice their strong opposition to Congress.C. The number of radios and TV stations will decline sharply.D. The local media competition will be almost eliminated.75. “Dj vu”( Line l, Paragraph 2 ) probably means a feeling that_.A. a new situation has occurred beforeB.a familiar

83、 situation becomes unfamiliarC.the situation has run out of controlD. the situation is better than expected76.Which of the following is true according to the text?A.The former chairman of the FCC ignored public opinion with a risk.B.A company is forbidden to own more than one newspaper.C. The local

84、news outlets are controlled by independent companies.D. Media industry used to be an unprofitable industry. 77.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A.Can We Hear More Local Voices? B. Do We Really Want Big Media to Get Even Bigger?C. How Will FCCs Action Affect Consumers?D.

85、How Will Washington Make Media Ownership Rules?Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Employers in some unlikely places say theyre having trouble filling jobs. Factory managers in Ho Chi Minh city report many

86、 of their $62-a-month workers went home for the Tet (越南春节)holiday in February and never came back. In Bulgaria, computer experts are in such demand that they cant be bothered to answer the want ads of a Los Angeles movie studio. And in Peoria, Caterpillar Inc. is struggling to train enough service t

87、echnicians. The problem in each case: not enough people who are both able and willing to do the work for the posted pay. “Weve got a global problem and its going to continue to get worse,” says Stephen Hitch, a human resources manager at Caterpillar.A global labor shortage, already being felt by som

88、e employers, appears to have worsened in recent months. Thats in spite of widely publicized layoffs, including Citigroups plans to dismiss as many as 15,000 staff. In fact, U. S. unemployment remains low - just 4.5% in February - and even companies in countries with higher jobless rates are feeling

89、under great pressure. “Its not just a U. S. phenomenon,” says Jeffery A. Joerres, CEO of Manpower Inc., the staffing agency. On March 29, Manpower was to release the results of a survey of nearly 37,000 employers in 27 countries. The study found that 41% of them are having trouble hiring people they

90、 need.Whats going on here? With global growth running at a strong 5% a year since 2004, the strategies that companies developed to hold down labor costs - including offshoring (境外生产) work to low-wage countries - are running out of gas far sooner than many expected. The seemingly inexhaustible pools

91、of cheap labor from China, India, and elsewhere are drying up as demand exceeds the supply of people with the needed skills. “Companies were hoping they wouldnt have to worry about human resources at all.” says Peter Capelli, director of the Center for Human Resources at the University of Pennsylvan

92、ias Wharton School. “Now they do.” Corporations are determined to keep labor costs under control, so theyre reaching deeper into their bag of tricks. Some are doing more in-house training, so they dont have to hire high-priced talent on the open market. Some are lowering their standards for new hire

93、s or moving operations to undeveloped territories other outsourcers (外包商) havent discovered, such as the Belarusian capital, Minsk, or smaller cities in Bulgaria and Romania.
