填空题 Directions: In this part, you will have 5
minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on the Answer
Sheet. For questions 56 - 60, mark Y (for Yes) if the statement
agrees with the information given in the passage; N (for No) if
the statement contradicts the information given in the passage;
NG (for Not Given) if the information is not given in the passage.
Questions 56- 60 are based on the following
passage. Many college students in the United States use
their summer break to earn money in a temporary job. But more and more are
working as summer interns. Some internship programs accept
students in high school. Internships are usually unpaid, and the
work might not always be the most exciting. But they offer a chance to gain
experience in business, public service or some other area of interest. They can
also be a chance to get to know a possible future employer. More importantly,
internships can help students make sure their area of study is a good
choice. For most organizations, interns mean extra workers for
little or no cost. Some interns are promised a full-time job once they finish
their studies. Yet some students have no choice but to get a
paying job during the summer. They have a real financial need.
Interns provide free labor, but internship programs can involve costs for
travel, housing and meals. Businesses might require interns to
receive college credit for their experience. These businesses are concerned
about labor laws that say workers must receive something in return for their
work. So, if not money, then credits. Many colleges and
universities resist such requirements. They say students should earn credit only
for school experience. Some other schools provide the credits but charge
students for them. So, for a student from a poor family, an
unpaid internship just may not be possible. Economic realities like this
sometimes lead to criticism of internship programs. But some
colleges and universities are offering help for students who want to be interns.
Some provide scholarships to help pay for housing and meals, but they do not
always give academic credits. Brandeis University near Boston,
Massachusetts, offers a summer internship class. Students pay for one college
credit. They must write an essay or keep a journal of their
internship. Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, is
considering a similar one-credit summer class. Associate Dean John Bader says
the students would work with a professor, but would not have to pay any
money. Statements:

He now has about 400 bags {{U}}(80) {{/U}} (cover) about 200
airlines: they are displayed all over the walls of his house. He asks people to
pick up a couple so that he has one to swap although, he says, "There is a

is a German who I met in Jordan eight years ago. " The bags,
Bowen says, say a lot about the country of origin. Far Eastern ones tend to be

join the bag {{U}}(84) {{/U}} (barter) system. The hobby is not
sufficiently developed to have monetary value {{U}}(85) {{/U}} (attach)
to it, but the swap system should work well. "Mind you, if someone came up
with a pre-War bag, possibly from Imperial Airways, I would very seriously think
about letting them have several pounds for it, maybe even an Air Afrique one,
too. "

填空题For centuries man dreamed of achieving vertical flight. In 400 A.D., Chinese children played with a fan-like toy that spun upwards and fell back to earth as rotation ceased. Leonardo da Vinci conceived the first mechanical apparatus, called a "Helix", which could carry a man straight up, but this was only a design and was never tested. The ancient dream was finally realized in 1940 when a Russian immigrant, an aeronautical engineer, piloted a strange-looking craft of steel tubing with a rotating fan on top. It rose awkwardly and vertically into the air from a standing start, hovered a few feet above the ground, went sideways and backwards, and then settled back to earth. That vehicle was called a helicopter. Imaginations were fired. Men dreamed of commuting to work in their own personal helicopter. Every man would have one in his backyard. People anticipated that vertical flight transports would carry millions of passengers as do the airliners of today. Such fantastic expectations were not fulfilled. The helicopter has now become an extremely versatile machine. It excels in military missions, carrying troops, guns and strategic instruments where other aircraft cannot go. Corporations use them as airborne offices, many metropolitan areas use them in police work, construction and logging companies employ them in various advantageous ways, engineers use them for site selection and surveying, and oil companies use them as the best way to make offshore and remote work stations accessible to crews and supplies. Any urgent mission to a hard-to-get-to place is a likely task for a helicopter. Among their other multitude of uses, they deliver people across town, fly to and from airports, assist in rescue work, and aid in the search for missing or wanted persons.

填空题Although French, German, American and British pioneers have all
been credited with the invention of cinema, the British and the Germans played a
relatively small role in its worldwide exploitation. It was above all the
French, followed closely by the Americans, who were the most passionate
exporters of the new invention, helping to start cinema in China, Japan, Latin
America and Russia. In terms of artistic development it was again the French and
the Americans who took the lead, though in the years before the First World War,
Italy, Denmark and Russia also played a part. In the end it was
the United States that was to become, and remain, the largest single market for
films. By protecting their own market and pursuing a vigorous export policy, the
Americans achieved a dominant position on the world market by the start of the
First World War. The centre of film-making had moved westwards, to Hollywood,
and it was films from these new Hollywood studios that flooded onto the world's
film markets in the years after the First World War, and have done so ever
since. Faced with total Hollywood domination, few film industries proved
competitive. The Italian industry, which had pioneered the feature film with
spectacular films like Quo Vadis? (1913) and Cabiria (1914), almost collapsed.
In Scandinavia, the Swedish cinema had a brief period of glory, notably with
powerful epic films and comedies. Even the French cinema found itself in a
difficult position. In Europe, only Germany proved industrially capable, while
in the new Soviet Union and in Japan, the development of the cinema took place
in conditions of commercial isolation. Hollywood took the lead
artistically as well as industrially. Hollywood films appealed because they had
better-constructed narratives, their special effects were more impressive, and
the star system added a new dimension to screen acting. If Hollywood did not
have enough of its own resources, it had a great deal of money to buy up artists
and technical innovations from Europe to ensure its continued dominance over
present or future competition. From early cinema, it was only
American slapstick comedy that successfully developed in both short and feature
format. However, during this "Silent Film" era, animation, comedy, serials and
dramatic features continued to thrive, along with factual films or
documentaries, which acquired an increasing distinctiveness as the period
progressed. It was also at this time that the avant-garde film first achieved
commercial success, this time thanks almost exclusively to the French and the
occasional German film. Of the countries which developed and
maintained distinctive national cinemas in the silent period, the most important
were France, Germany and the Soviet Union. Of these, the French displayed the
most continuity, in spite of the war and post-war economic uncertainties. The
German cinema, relatively insignificant in the pre-war years, exploded on to the
world scene after 1919. Yet even they were both overshadowed by the Soviets
after the 1917 Revolution. They turned their back on the past, leaving the style
of the pre-war Russian cinema to the Emigres who fled westwards to escape the
Revolution. The other countries whose cinemas changed
dramatically are: Britain, which had an interesting but undistinguished history
in the silent period; Italy, which had a brief moment of international fame just
before the war; the Scandinavian countries, particularly Denmark, which played a
role in the development of silent cinema quite out of proportion to their small
population; and Japan, where a cinema developed based primarily on traditional
theatrical and, to a lesser extent, other art forms and only gradually adapted
to western influence.

填空题Named after an ex-Governor of New South Wales, Sydney is the
State's capital city. Located on the south-east coast of Australia in the
temperate zone, it enjoys a mild climate, averaging 14. 5 hours of sunshine per
day in summer and 10. 25 hours in winter. It is also the largest, oldest, and
perhaps most beautifully situated city in Australia. First established by the
British as a convict settlement in 1788, it is a modern cosmopolitan city that
has developed into one of the nation's major industrial, business, and
manufacturing centres. Sydney is home to nearly 4. 4 million
people (as of 1997). The suburbs reach out from the city centre and harbour some
55 km to the north 35 km to the west and 30 km to the south, creating a
metropolitan area of about 3,000 square kilometres. The 57 square kilometre
harbour is one of the largest in the world, and famous for the unmistakable 134
metre high arch of the Harbour Bridge and the graceful sails of the Opera House.
It is a busy waterway with ferries, freighters, hydrofoils and pleasure
craft. Not far from the city centre are the attractive old
residential suburbs of Balmain, Glebe, and Paddington, where many people live in
smart terraced houses. Art galleries, pubs, and restaurants abound in the cosy
streets that tend to be quite narrow, whereas the suburbs surrounding the city's
colleges and universities consist mainly of family homes and multi-unit
blocks—an ideal situation for students looking for a homestay, or to rent.
Sydney's newer suburbs now have a large multicultural population, and local
shopping centres reflect the influences of many cultures. As
well as scores of cinemas and theatres throughout the city and suburbs, there
are numerous clubs which appeal to people of all ages, and cater for all tastes.
Pubs are the venue for smaller modem hands, while the big-name popular music
artists, both local and international, attract capacity audiences at the huge
Entertainment Centre in the heart of the city. In Sydney, a
vast array of ethnic and local restaurants can be found to suit all palates and
pockets. In summer, car patrons often sit outside at tables under umbrellas, and
enjoy the passing parade of shoppers. Students who prefer to cook at home can
choose from several large weekend markets, where fresh fruit, fish, and
vegetables may be bought more cheaply than at the local supermarket. Sydney also
has its own Chinatown. In the heart of the city are several big
department stores linked by enclosed over-the-street crossings and underground
walkways. Most noticeable are the towering Centrepoint complex and the Queen
Victoria Building, both containing many shopping arcades, coffee shops and
restaurants. Out of town, in the suburbs, there are huge regional shopping
centres. At the weekend markets, bargains can be had when shopping for clothing
as well as for a wide range of assorted goods. Australia is
recognised as one of the most sports-conscious nations in the world. Sydney
boasts an impressive number of facilities for all types of indoor and outdoor
sporting activities, Wherever one goes, there are golf courses, cricket pitches,
football ovals, tennis and squash courts, and, of course, indoor and outdoor
swimming pools. Avid ice-skating and tenpin bowling fans will find that these
activities are also popular and inexpensive. Whatever a student
is interested in, it is certain to be available somewhere in Sydney. Outside the
colleges and universities the scope for filling the leisure hours is enormous,
while on campus the choice is equally varied. Answer the
following questions with the information given in the passage in a maximum of 15
words for each question.
