填空题{{B}}Directions:{{/B}}In the following article, some sentences have been removed. For Questions 41～45, choose the most suitable one from the list A～G to fit into each of the numbered blanks. There are two extra choices which do not fit in any of the gaps. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. US President Bush has been having a difficult summer. Recent polls show a considerable decline in public approval of his conduct of the nation's business, yet in just few weeks voters will decide whether he or Democrat John Kerry is to be the next president. If things are going so badly for Bush, then Kerry must be doing well, right? 41)__________. His public appearances kindle little enthusiasm. His TV ads sway few viewers. As a result, Kerry supporters tend to be more anti-Bush than they are genuinely pro-Kerry. Democratic strategists point out that Kerry has a pattern of coming from behind to win political races. And even though Kerry stirs little excitement, many Americans are quite eager to learn whom he will choose as his running mate. A popular vice presidential candidate could energize his campaign, especially since there is little chance that President. Bush will dump the much-loathed Richard Cheney from the Republican ticket. Most observers agree that Kerry is not a particularly strong candidate for the US presidency. He tends to be respected, but he arouses little enthusiasm.42)__________But then, two weeks ago, the Republicans counterattacked vigorously, end the race is once again wide open. The public's generally positive impression of Senator's Kerry's character is based in large part on his record during the war in Vietnam, when he performed heroically as the commander of a "swift boat", a light military craft used by the US Navy to thread the rivers and canals of southern Vietnam. The crew of his old boat are united in their praise of him. 43)__________.Two weeks ago they began appearing in stingingly negative TV ads aired in crucial states where currently undecided voters will probably determine the outcome of the election. And the ads were effective, drawing independent voters away from Kerry. In the meantime, Kerry's own crewmen have strongly rejected the new version of events. 44)__________Journalists quickly turned up links between the navy veterans and Texas fat cats who had long supplied the Bush family with funds for political campaigns. These rich folks were in turn linked to Karl Rove, Bush' s masterful political strategist--his very own Zhuge Liang. 45)__________. Cartoonist David Horsey, like many other observers, thinks Karl Rove is up to his old tricks; a similar effort--in this case, untraceable slanderous rumors during a key primary race--undermined popular Republican Senator John McCaine's campaign for the GOP nomination in 2000. In today's cartoon Rove is portrayed as the puppeteer controlling Bush' s wealthy supporters in Texas (notice the Texas-style cowboy hat). The hand puppet in turn seems to be manipulating another, smaller puppet that represents the angry swift boat veterans. A. Nonetheless, thanks to the slow economic recovery, the difficult situation in Iraq and changing perceptions of President Bush's competence, he seemed to be on the road to a very narrow victory in November. B. But leadership, you know, isn't about taking the easy route; it is about making the tough, sometimes unpopular decisions. President Bush has demonstrated that he can make tough decisions, and I personally like the fact that his faith end his values are the foundation of his decisions. C. Not exactly. Americans outside Massachusetts, which Kerry represents in the Senate, seem to find it hard to relate to the Democratic candidate. D. While Bush would dearly love to undermine Kerry's image, he cannot afford to be seen doing so. (His own military record, after all; makes a sorry contrast with Kerry's.) E. Are the ads the Bush campaign in action or just the vengeful protest of naval officers whose leadership was questioned in a recent biography of Kerry? It costs hundreds of thousands of dollars to make such an ad and buy air time; so many people immediately suspected that wealthy Republicans were behind the effort. F. However, a group of navy veterans (all present in the same area of Vietnam as Kerry and during the same period, some as senior officers, others as crewmen not on Kerry's boat but on other, similar craft) have denounced Kerry in a book that came out last month. They allege that he did not deserve the medals for valiant leadership he won in the war. G. Kerry remains an unknown quantity to most Americans, but better known Democrats are much in the news. Examine the publicity posters in the cartoon. In both upper comers are ads for ex-President Clinton's lengthy autobiography, My Life.

填空题 The economic transformation of India is one of the great business stories of our tinge. Indian companies like Infosys and Wipro are powerful global players, while Western firms like G.E. and I.B.M. now have major research facilities in India employing thousands. India's seemingly endless flow of young, motivated engineers, scientists, and managers offering developed-world skills at developing-world wages is held to be putting American jobs at risk, and the country is frequently heralded as "the next economic superpower." But India has nm into a surprising hitch on its way to superpower status: its inexhaustible supply of workers is becoming exhausted. {{U}} {{U}} 11 {{/U}} {{/U}} How is this possible in a country that every year produces two and a half million college graduates and four hundred thousand engineers? Start with the fact that just ten per cent of Indians get any kind of post-secondary education, compared with some fifty per cent who do in the U.S. {{U}} {{U}} 12 {{/U}} {{/U}} India does have more than three hundred universities, but a recent survey by the London Times Higher Education Supplement put only two of them among the top hundred in the world. A current study led by Vivek Wadhwa, of Duke University, has found that if you define "engineer" by U.S. standards, India produces just a hundred and seventy thousand engineers a year, not four hundred thousand. The irony of the current situation is that India was once considered to be overeducated. {{U}} {{U}} 13 {{/U}} {{/U}} However, once the Indian business climate loosened up, though, that meant companies could tap a backlog of hundreds of thousands of eager, skilled workers at their disposal. Unfortunately, the educational system did not adjust to the new realities. {{U}} {{U}} 14 {{/U}} {{/U}}Even as the need for skilled workers was increasing, India was devoting relatively fewer resources to producing them. India has taken tentative steps to remedy its skills famine-the current government has made noises about doubling spending on education, and a host of new colleges and universities have sprung up since the mid-nineties. {{U}} {{U}} 15 {{/U}} {{/U}}. In a country where more than three hundred million people live on a dollar a day, producing college graduates can seem like a low priority. Ultimately, the Indian government has to pull off a very tough trick, malting serious changes at a time when things seem to be going very well. It needs, in other words, a clear sense of everything that can still go wrong. The paradox of the Indian economy today is that the more certain its glowing future seems to be, the less likely that future becomes. A. But India's impressive economic performance has made the problem seem less urgent than it actually is, and allowed the government to defer difficult choices. B. Moreover, of that ten per cent, the vast majority go to one of India's seventeen thousand colleges, many of which are closer to community colleges than to four-year institutions. C. Infosys says that, of 1.3 million applicants for jobs last year, it found only two per cent acceptable. D. Although India has one of the youngest workforces on the planet, the head of Infosys said recently that there was an "acute shortage of skilled manpower," and a study by Hewitt Associates projects that this year salaries for skilled workers will rise fourteen and a half per cent, a sure sign that demand for skilled labor is outstripping. E. In the seventies, as its economy languished, it seemed to be a country with too many engineers and Ph.D.s working as clerks in government offices. F. Many Indian graduates therefore enter the workforce with a low level of skills. G. Between 1985 and 1997, the number of teachers in India actually fell, while the percentage of students enrolled in high school or college rose more slowly than it did in the rest of the world.

填空题Directions:You are going to read a list of subheadings and a text about what experts advise to do to keep a new year's resolution. Choose the most suitable subheading from the list A-G for each numbered paragraph. The first paragraph of the text is not numbered. There are two extra subheadings which you do not need to use. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. A. Don't Try to Scare Yourself Straight B. Get Better Friends C. Quit Completely D. Focus on Your Achievements E. Don't Kid Yourself F. Learn from Others G. Try Being Mindful The Marist poll found that while 65% of people who made a resolution in the New Year kept their promise for at least part of the year, 35% never even made it out of the gate. Indeed, when you wake up on the first day of a new year-or decade-resolutions to "cut back" and "moderate" seem both an excellent idea and an impossibly hazy dream. But consider this: if hard-core addicts can break bad habits, there's still hope for you. There's a lot you can learn from people who have successfully moderated their habits to help keep you off the resolution merry-go-round. 41. ______ "The most important thing is to be honest with yourself," says Howard Josepher, a former heroin addict and president of Exponents Inc.. "You need to know the difference between enjoying yourself and self-medicating. It's not that self-medicating is necessarily bad-but you should give yourself parameters. If you are adhering to them, O.K. If not, you need to check yourself." Successful moderators decide in advance how much is "too much"-and stick to their limit, no matter what. Have a cookie a day, if that's what you've deemed acceptable. But if you "cheat" by having "just one more," know that you are only cheating yourself and aggravating the problem, experts say. The point is to learn how to hold yourself accountable. 42. ______ "Theoretically, there are very good reasons to take a break from a behavior, totally," says Reid Hester, director of research at Behavior Therapy Associates, explaining that an initial period of complete abstinence can make it easier for people to moderate behavior, by eliminating the habitual, automatic aspect of the unwanted activity. Take a cue from the self-help group Moderation Management (MIV), which advises problem drinkers to abstain completely for a month before attempting moderate drinking. The best way to stay on course is frequent self-monitoring; use as many behavior-modification tools, support groups and programs as you can. 43. ______ "Between stimulus and response, there's a space, and in that space is our power to choose our response, and in our response lies our growth and freedom," says Alan Marlatt, director of the Addictive Behaviors Research Center at the University of Washington, quoting author and Holocaust survivor Victor Frankl. Marlatt says, "Mindfulness gets you into that space." Being mindful may involve traditional meditation, in which you sit quietly and observe your thoughts and breathing without judgment. But here, it is also used to focus awareness on thoughts and feelings that lead to unwanted behavior. Simply recognizing the triggers to relapse can help you choose not to give into them. 44. ______ Research shows that in the long term, the pleasure of victory is a better incentive than the pain of defeat. "Punishment is a poor motivator," says Hester. "It sets people up for failure. If all you do is punish yourself for failure, you won't stay motivated to change for very long." Instead, reward yourself for sticking to your limits and focus on the benefits of changing. 45. ______ Consciously and unconsciously, people tend to imitate those around them. That's why the latest research shows that things like happiness, quitting smoking and obesity can spread like a contagion through social networks. So, surround yourself with friends who can also be role models. "Make sure that people you hang out with are people who look and act the way you would like to. Social imitation is the easiest form not only of flattery but of self-improvement," says Stanton Peele, author of Seven Tools to Beat Addiction.
