Fill in each blank with one proper word or the proper form of the given word to make the passage coherent. Make sure that your answers are grammatically correct. （A）Teachers always have found that teach
15、ing and learning become interesting and enjoyable when students are actively involved in the lesson. Their active engagement, however, does not come automatically. In most cases, teachers have to find ways to get them (25)_(involve). Hai K. P. Huynh, an English teacher at American-Vietnamese Interna
16、tional English Centre in Da Nang, Vietnam, demonstrates (26)_ teachers can get students actively engaged in the learning process and take charge of their learning by giving them the opportunities to find and correct mistakes (27)_.The effective way is to prepare an activity (28)_ students take over
17、the role of correcting mistakes which is normally done by the teacher. The teacher purposefully becomes the mistake maker .This technique can bring forth several benefits. For instance, by switching the role of the mistake corrector, the teacher can often observe that students get excited. The degre
18、e of excitement (29)_ (increase) when the class is divided into two teams to compete with each other in finding and correcting the mistakes.Another benefit is that they have the opportunity to identify the possible mistakes themselves instead of the teacher (30)_(tell) them what the mistakes are. Th
19、is technique can help the teacher check his or her students understanding of a grammar point or comprehension of a reading task. It can be used to reinforce and improve their production skills such as writing and pronunciation. The activity is a simple technique, (31)_ it is very effective (32)_ get
20、ting students attention and participation. It can easily be developed (33)_(satisfy ) teachers needs.(B)Its likely that your (34)_(big) ambition as a Senior 3 student is to enter a good university this time next year. But (35)_ makes your dream university “good” enough?An excellent reputation and hi
21、gh rankings are certainly important, according to a survey(36)_ (conduct) by Shanghai Municipal Education Commission in 50 Shanghai high schools this summer. Among the 400 students, nearly 64 percent favored universities with top rankings and outstanding academic performance records.“Compared with l
22、ower-ranking universities, a household name on the first-level list usually means more advanced facilities, better lectures and more opportunities. These will all help me settle down to a successful university experience,” said Qiu chenhao,17 of Shanghais Jianping High School.However, great universi
23、ties are defined by other factors as well. Over 63 percent think that (37)_ ideal university should have an environment with research freedom, (38)_ (allow) their students to experiment, succeed and sometimes fail. And a similar number of students believe that a good university (39)_ produce graduat
24、es who are particularly sought after by employers.(40)_ _ the fact that employability is highly valued, about 28 percent say that rich history and tradition are a priority for great universities.Section B Directions: Complete the passage with the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. No
25、te that there is one word more than you need.A. demonstrating B. devote C. productive D. Slightly AB. present AC. addressing AD. emotion BC. happy BD. significantly CD. productivity ABC. completedIn the past few decades, the popular belief in the area of organizational behavior and psychology has be
26、en that 41 workers are better workers. However, new research at the University of Alberta shows that sad workers are more 42 .Psychologist Dr. Robert Sinclair recently conducted a series of four studies 43 the effects of experimentally induced ( 诱发的 ) happiness versus sadness on work 44 by asking th
27、e participants to build circuit boards. In the first study, sad people committed 45 few errors than did happy people, but there was no difference in the number of boards 46 . In similar studies Sinclair found the same results along with the evidence that happy people might not 47 as much energy to t
28、he task in order to maintain their happy moods - they considered that task as something that might detract from their 48 feelings. These findings are not surprising, said Sinclair, since there has been a growing body of literature in the area of social psychology 49 that sad moods lead to more calm
29、lengthy intent consideration and often, more thought or accurate judgments. So its important for organizations to take into account the 50 of their employees. It seems it could be beneficial to creating situations that lead people to believe that performing their jobs will cause them to feel good.II
30、I. Reading ComprehensionSection A Directions: For each blank in the following passages there are four words and phrases marked A,B,C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.German Prime Minister Otto Von Bismarck may be most famous for his 51 and diplomatic talen
31、t, but his contributions to the society include many of todays social insurance programs. During the middle of the 19th century, Germany, 52 other European nations, 53 an unusual outbreak of workplace deaths and accidents as a result of growing 54 . 55 in part by Christian sympathy for the helpless
32、as well as a practical political impulse to get the 56 of the socialist labor movement, Bismarck 57 the worlds first workers compensation law in 1884.By 1908, the United States was the 58 industrial nation in the world that lacked workers compensation insurance. Americans injured workers could seek

The first state workers compensation law in this country passed i

In fact, real benefit levels were lower in the 1970s than they were in the 1940s, and in most states the maximum benefit was below the poverty level for a fam
35、ily of four. In 1970, President Richard Nixon set up a national 64 to study the problems workers compensation. Two years later, the committee issued 19 key recommendations, 65 one that called for increasing compensation benefit levels to 100 percent of the states average weekly wages.51. A. artistic

39、ay that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise and, as a result, we are growing old unnecessarily soon.Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why quite healthy in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a rather early age, and how the speed of gett
40、ing old could be slowed down.With a team of researchers at Tokyo National University, he set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages with different jobs. Computer technology helped the researchers to get most exact measurements of the volume of the front and side parts o
41、f the brain, which have something to do with intellect and feelings, and decide the human character. As we all know, the back part of the brain, which controls task like eating and breathing, does not contract with age.Contraction of front and side partsas cells die offwas seen in some people in the
42、ir thirties, but it was still not found in some sixty and seventy-year-olds.Matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is a simple way to prevent the contractionusing the head.The findings show that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns. “Those with lea
43、st possibility,” says Matsuzawa, “are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. White collar workers doing the same work day after day in government offices are, however, as possible to have contracting brains as the farm worker, bus driver and shop assistant.” 66. The team of doctors
44、wanted to find out _.A. at what point people grow mentally old B. how to make people live longerC. the size of certain peoples brains D. which people are the most clever67. Their research findings are based on _.A. an examination of farmers in northern JapanB. tests given on a thousand old people C.
45、 examining the brain volumes of different peopleD. using computer technology68. The doctors tests show that _.A. our brains contract as we grow older B. one part of the brain does not contractC. sixty-year-olds have better brains than thirty-year-oldsD. some peoples brains have contracted earlier th
46、an other peoples69. The most possible conclusion of the passage is that _.A. most of us take more exercise B. its better to live in the townC. the brain contracts if it is not used D. the more one uses his brain, the sooner he becomes old ( B )During the next several weeks I went completely to the w
47、olves. I took a tiny tent and set it up on the shore of bay. The big telescope was set up in the mouth of the tent in such a way that I could observe the wolves by day or night.Quite by accident I had pitched (set up) my tent within ten yards of one of the major paths used by the wolves. Shortly aft
48、er I had taken up residence one of the wolves came back and discovered me and my tent, but he did not stop or hesitate in his pace. Later, one or more wolves used the track past my tent and never did they show the slightest interest in me. I felt uncomfortable at being so totally ignored. The next d
49、ay I noticed a male wolf make boundary markers by passing water on the rounds of his family lands.Once I had become aware of the strong feeling of property rights which existed among the wolves, I decided to use this knowledge to make them at least recognize my existence. One evening, after they had
50、 gone off for their regular nightly hunt I staked out a property of my own, including a long section of the wolves path. In order to ensure that my claim would not be overlooked, I made a property mark on stones, dumps of moss, and patches of vegetation with a lot of tea. Before the hunters came bac
51、k, task was done, and I retired, somewhat exhausted, to observe results. A few minutes later, the leading male appeared. As usual he did not bother to glance at the tent, but when he reached the point where my property line intersected (cut across) the trail, he stopped as suddenly as if he had run
52、into an invisible wall.Cautiously, he extended his nose and sniffed at one of my marked bushes. After a minute of hesitation he backed away a few yards and sat down. Then, he looked directly at the tent and at me.His glare seemed to become more fierce as I attempted to stare him down. The situation
53、was becoming intolerable. To break the impasse I turned my back on the wolf. Then quickly and with an air of decision, he turned his attention away from me and began a systematic tour of the area I had staked out as my own. As he came to each boundary marker he sniffed it once or twice, then careful
54、ly placed his mark on the outside of mine.70. Why did the wolves manage to ignore the authors presence?A. Because his tent was out of the wolves estate boundaries.B. Because the author and the wolves were already good friends.C. Because they did not know him at all.D. Because the wolves were afraid
55、of strangers.71. Which is TRUE according to the passage ?A. The author likes staring matches esp. with wolves.B. Staking the land was very easy.C. Wolves can see the estate boundaries clearly with their eyes.D. The author managed to know why the wolves ignore his presence.72. What was the authors di
56、scovery?A. Wolves were not settled beasts, as is almost universally believed.B. Wolves were settled beasts and the possessors of an estate with definite boundaries.C. Wolves were not interested with strangers.D. Wolves family was dominated by a female. 73. Why did the author stake out an area of his
57、 own?A. Because he thought it better to be stared at than to be ignored.B. Because he didnt want the wolves to use the track past his tent.C. Because he wanted the wolves to take cognizance of his existence.D. Because he wanted to find out how fierce the wolfs glare was.( C )We often use the words g
58、rowth and development as if they meant essentially the same thing. But this may not always be the case. One can easily imagine instances in which a country has achieved higher levels of income (growth) with little or no benefit coming to most of its citizens (development).In the past, most developme
59、nt policies were aimed increasing the growth rate of income per capita. Many still are, based on the theory that benefits of economic growth will come to all members of society. If this theory is correct, growth should promote development.By the early 1970s, however, the relationship between growth
60、and development was being questioned. A major study by the World Bank in 1974 concluded that it is now clear that more than a decade of rapid growth in underdeveloped countries has been of little benefit to a third of their population.The World Bank study indicated that increases in GNP per capita d
61、id not promise important improvements in such development indicators as nutrition, health, and education. Although GNP per capita did indeed rise, its benefits come down to only a small part of the population. This realization gave rise to a call for new development policies. These new policies favo
62、red agriculture over industry, called for domestic redistribution of income and wealth, and encouraged programs to satisfy such basic needs as food and shelter.In the late 1970s and early 1980s, the international macroeconomic crises of high oil prices, worldwide recession, and third world debt forc
63、ed attention away from programs designed to get rid of poverty. However, the lesson remains: economic growth does not promise economic development. Efforts may be required to change growing output capacity into economic benefits that reach most of a nations people. 74. As to the relationship between
64、 growth and development, what can we infer from the passage?A. Development is a reliable measure of growth.B. Growth always brings about development.C. Development is not necessarily the result of growth.D. Growth and development refer to the same thing.75. According to the study by the World Bank i
65、n 1974,economic growth in some background countries brought A. benefit only to a third of their population.B. almost no benefit to a third of their population.C. little benefit to their people.D. no benefit at all to their people.76. The programs designed to get rid of poverty were not very well car
66、ried out because the governmentA. knew that growth didnt promise development.B. gave too much attention to increases in GNP per capita.C. wished to replace the programs with new development policies.D. was busy solving other more serious economic problems.77. If the passage continues, what is the au
67、thor most likely to discuss in the next paragraph?A. How to turn growth into development.B. How to remove poverty from society.C. How to decrease third world debt.D. How to cope with economic crises. Section C Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statemen
68、ts in the fewest possible words.You are walking along a lane and never know what you will find. It might be a shop selling oil paintings, or a place where you can buy Dutch cheese. One thing is for sure, you will end up by a canal.Welcome to Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands.The year will be
69、 a good time to explore Amsterdam as the city has a lot to celebrate: the famous canal ring will turn 400 years old. Amsterdam will also celebrate the 160th birthday of Dutch painter of the Van Gogh museum, home to the biggest collection of the artists colorful works.The famous canal ring is a trade
70、mark of the city. With more than 100 kilometers of canals, it is no wonder that Amsterdam is called the Venice of the north. But unlike the Italian town, where boats were originally used for transport, the canals in Amsterdam were mainly used for defense in the 17th century. Today ferries on canals
71、offer a different way to explore the city.But to truly experience Amsterdam, you cant miss the citys historic museums and monuments, among which Van Gogh museum is the most famous one. It holds 200 paintings, 700 letters and 500 drawings by the artist. Another famous museum is Anne Franks house. Ann
72、e Frank became famous around the world because of a diary she left explaining her and her familys experience as a Jewish girl during World War II, hiding out in a house hoping that she would not be captured by German Nazis.Amsterdam is small enough to walk or cycle almost anywhere, but it is rarely
73、dull. Best of all it combines its glittering past with a rebellious edginess.(Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN NINE WORDS)78. If you plan to appreciate Van Goghs masterpieces, _ is the best choice.79. What was the main function of the canals in Amsterdam in ancient tim
74、es? 80. What can we infer from Anne Franks experience?81. In the passage, Amsterdam is described as a small city that can be explored_.第卷 （共47分）.
