填空题The Independent on Sunday's (1) (industry) editor, David Bowen, collects air-line sick-bags. He started about 10 years ago when he used to travel (2) (extensive), but now the (3) (collect) has its own momentum. "I get sent several bags a month,"he says. "All my friends know that I collect these things, and they mention it to their friends. Then when any of them go on flights, they stare ahead of them for hours on end and (4) (soon) or later remember to pick one up. " He now has about 400 bags (5) (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 slightly (6) (limit) market: my only real trading partner is a German who I met in Jordan eight years ago. " The bags, Bowen says, say a lot about the country of orison. Far Eastern ones tend to be lavish and exotic. Germanic ones are severely (7) (practice), eastern European ones reflect "the (8) ( short) of decent paper". Bowen is keen to hear from anyone who wants to join the bag (9) (barter) system. The hobby is not sufficiently developed to have monetary value (10) (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Questions 72-78 are based on the following passage Most Americans spend far more of their leisure time with the mass media than in any other occupation. In addition, most of us hear, see or read some of the media (72) . Thus an extremely large number of our waking hours are spent with the mass media. Of all the media, television is clearly dominant, with newspaper a close second, (73) . Our exposure to all media is important, however, because all of them contribute materials for the construction of that world in our heads. For most people, (74) . In fact, in certain cases, and especially for certain purposes, the more one uses medium, the more likely one is to use others. There are various factors that can cause you to expose yourself to the media selectively, (75) . Some of that selective exposure is probably due to the psychological pressure you feel to avoid the discomfort caused by confrontations with facts and ideas contrary to your beliefs, attitudes, or behaviors. However, (76) , such as your age, education, and even the area in which you live and the people with whom you associate. Quite a different sort of factor that affects your media experiences is the social context of exposure; (77) ; whether you are at home, at the office, in theater, and so on. These contexts are as much as a potential part of the message you will form as film images on the screen or words on the page. In addition, that social context affects--both directly and indirectly--the media and the media content to which you become exposed. New friends or colleagues get you interested in different things. (78) , and you become exposed to it. Sentences: A. Some selective exposure is not due to the pressure for consistency but to other factors. B. While engaged in other activities. C. Other members of the family often select media content that you would not have selected. D. Exposure to media is important and people sometimes tend to use more media. E. At least as a source of news and other information. F. Whether you are alone or with others when you are exposed to medium. G. Avoiding much of the material with which you disagree. H. Increased use of one medium does not decrease the use of another.

填空题Management in Cyberspace Virtual reality is often used to mimic hazardous environments-cockpits of combat aircraft, burning oil rigs, the treasure-strewn caves of irritable dragons and so on. Until now, though, it has rarely been deployed to simulate that most hazardous environment of all-the office. But if Sandra Testani of the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia has her way, it will soon be possible to hone the black arts of office politics and corporate survival on a computer before you employ them against your colleagues in the real world. Or, from the boss's point of view, you will be able to practise your skills at "co-operating" in virtual "team-building" exercises. Dr. Testani's virtual world is called CIMBLE. The acronym stands for CADETT which in turn stands for Consortium for Advanced Education and Training Technologies Interactive Multi-user Business Learning Environment. The idea behind CIMBLE is to let people who are unable or unwilling to meet face to face practise collaborating with each other over a computer network. To do this, CIMBLE's software creates a virtual world for up to six participants. Each acts via an electronic representative known as an avatar. A participant sees the world (including the other players' avatars, which appear on screen as cartoon-like images of men and women) from his own avatar's point of view. Any other characters that the avatars might interact with are played by a moderator, who also acts as Big Brother, overseeing and monitoring the activities of the group and steering things in a suitable direction. The CIMBLE software allows the avatars to walk around and manipulate objects in the virtual world (opening doors, for example) at the click of a mouse. It also lets avatars (and hence the participants) talk to one another. Most conversations are assumed to be in the open, and can be heard by everybody. But true office Machiavellis will be pleased to learn that private chats are also possible, since the software can work out who is within earshot of whom, and will transmit sound only to those who should be able to hear it. So far, Dr. Testani and her colleagues have devised two exercises in their new electronic world. One simply brings the participants together around a virtual conference table and lets them chew over an agenda provided by the moderator. The second, however, is more sophisticated. The participants are deemed to be working for a civil-engineering firm, and are sent off to the proposed site of a new bridge to settle a dispute with local residents and officials. After a long car ride and a night in a hotel (all depicted in loving detail by CIMBLE's software), they meet the irate local and try to mollify them. A successful outcome, allowing the bridge to go ahead, is greeted by an onscreen display of virtual fireworks. Dr. Testani of Franklin Institute designed a software called CIMBLE which {{U}} {{U}} 1 {{/U}} {{/U}}CADETT Interactive Multi-user Business Learning Environment. This virtual world is used to mimic the office and has made it possible for {{U}} {{U}} 2 {{/U}} {{/U}}people to practise collaborating with others over a computer network. {{U}} {{U}} 3 {{/U}} {{/U}}is represented by an avatar, and their activities are monitored by a moderator. With this software, participants can talk to each other-as well as have {{U}} {{U}} 4 {{/U}} {{/U}}in the virtual world because the software will transmit sound only to people who should be able to hear it. Two exercises have been devised up till now. One allows the participants to think over an agenda, while the other requires them to {{U}} {{U}} 5 {{/U}} {{/U}}over the construction of a new bridge.

填空题The cost of staging the year 2000 Olympics in Sydney is estimated to be a staggering $960 million, but the city is preparing to reap the financial benefits that ensue from holding such an international event by emulating the commercial success of Los Angeles, the only city yet to have made a demonstrable profit from the Games in 1984. At precisely 4:20 a.m. on Friday the 24th of September 1993, it was announced that Sydney had beaten five other competing cities around the world, and Australians everywhere, not only Sydneysiders, were justifiably proud of the result. But, if Sydney had lost the bid, would the taxpayers of NSW and of Australia have approved of governments spending millions of dollars in a failed and costly exercise? There may have been some consolation in the fact that the bid came in $1 million below the revised budget and $5 million below the original budget of $29 million formulated in mid-1991. How ever, the final cost was the considerable sum of $ 24 million, the bulk of which was paid for by corporate and community contributions, merchandising, licensing, and the proceeds of lotteries, with the NSW Government, which had originally been willing to spend up to $10 million, contributing some $ 2 million. The Federal Government"s grant of $ 5 million meant, in effect, that the Sydney bid was financed by every Australian taxpayer. Prior to the announcement of the winning city, there was considerable debate about the wisdom of taking financial risks of this kind at a time of economic recession. Others argued that 70 percent of the facilities were already in place, and all were on government-owned ]and, removing some potential areas of conflict which troubled previous Olympic bidders. The former NSW Premier, Mr. Nick Greiner, went on record as saying that the advantage of having the Games... "is not that you are going to have $ 7.4 billion in extra gross domestic product over the next 14 years... I think the real point of the Games is the psychological change, the catalyst of confidence.., apart from the other more obvious reasons, such as the building of sporting facilities, tourism, and things of that nature. " However, the dubiousness of the benefits that Melbourne, an unsuccessful bidder for the 1988 Olympic Games, received at a time when the State of Victoria was still in economic turmoil meant many corporate bodies were unenthusiastic. There is no doubt that Sydney"s seductive physical charms caused the world"s media to compare the city favorably to its rivals Beijing, Berlin, Manchester, and Istanbul. Mr. Godfrey Santer, the Australian Tourist Commission"s Manager of Corporate Planning Services, stated that soon after the bid was made, intense media locus was already having a beneficial effect on in-bound tourism. Developers and those responsible for community development projects eagerly pointed to the improvements taking place to the existing infrastructure of the city, the creation of employment, and especially the building of sporting facilities, all of which meet the needs of the community and help to attract more tourists. At Homebush Bay $ 300 million was spent providing the twin athletic arenas and the "high-tech" Aquatic Centre. However, perhaps the most impressive legacy was the new attitude shown towards both industrial relations and environmental problems. The high-profile nature of the bid; and the perception that it must proceed smoothly Created a unique attitude of co-operation between the workforce and employers involved in the construction of the Olympic Village at Homebush Bay. The improvements included the lack of strikes, the breaking down of demarkation barriers, and the completion of projects within budget and ahead of time.

填空题In the United States today, many people want a college education. However, almost haft of the people who go to college now do not attend a four-year college. Instead, they go to a community college. The community college offers a two-year course of study in a wide range of subjects. It prepares some young people to go on to a four-year college. It trains others for jobs in business, government, or industry. Some people choose a community college because of cost. The tuition for a semester at a community college can be less than half the cost of a semester at a four-year college. Also, since these colleges are located in large communities, their students can save money by living at home. Community colleges are also useful for people who have jobs and who do not have time for a traditional four-year college. Some of these people take night courses at community colleges. Others complete long-distance courses, in which they stay at home and use video-tapes, audiotapes, and the Internet. Community colleges also serve high school graduates who only achieved low grades. Many of these students would not be admitted to a four-year college. If they do well, they may go on to a four-year college. Today, the country"s 1,500 community colleges have more than I0 million students. These colleges are making it possible for more and more people to continue their education.

For questions 57-63, 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 57- 63 are based on the following passage. Which Airport? The choice of where to fly from has never been greater, particularly for those flying on a package holiday. For each port, we looked at the facilities (e. g. restaurants, waiting areas, etc. ) offered before going through passport control (land-side) and after going through passport control (air-side). Heathrow 4 The cheek-in hall is spacious and modern. There are few land-side shops but the essentials are available. A car6 with pine seating and a medium range of hot dishes and salads is situated upstairs. There are more facilities air-side. The shops are clustered into the central part of the 500-metre long hall, and expensive ranges are well represented. There's plenty of natural light from the windows that overlook the runway and lots of seating away from the shopping area. Manchester 2 The check-in hall has a high glass roof which lets in natural light. The café is at one end and slightly separated from the rest of the facilities, which makes it much more pleasant. There's also an up-market coffee shop. Hundreds of seats—little used when we visited despite the passengers crowded below—are available upstairs. The departure lounge is bright and has plenty of space, and the cafeteria is pleasant. Stansted Passengers can walk in a straight line form the entrance, through the check-in to the monorail that takes them to their plane. Land-side, there's cluster of fast food outlets that sell baked potatoes, American burgers and filled rolls. All seating is in the same area away from the check-in and shops. There're a surprisingly small number of shops considering Stansted's claims to be a major London Airport, although basic stores like a chemist and bookshop are here. The large departure lounge has blue seats and grey carpet. There's a large tax-free and luxury goods shopping area and a café. Heathrow 2 Avoid traveling from here if you can. The check-in area is unpleasant with a claustrophobic low roof and scores of pillars. The upstairs cafe is noisy because it is next to the music shop. The departure lounge is also too small with illuminated advertisements hanging from its low ceiling. Manchester 1 The large, low check-in hall is the least impressive part of the terminal. Beyond that is a pleasant shopping mall with a wide range of shops and snack bars. The self-service eating area has a good range of foods from steak and chips to salads. There is also a more formal restaurant mostly used for business lunches. The departure lounge is large and bright. Edinburgh The eating options range from a coffee shop to a self-service restaurant and a reasonable variety of shops are scattered around the land-side area rather than being collected in one area. The air-side food arrangements are mainly limited to rolls and buns. East Midlands The check-in area is in a long, low building where the roof is supported by a forest of pillars which interrupt the line of vision. There is a cafe and bar upstairs along with a pizza restaurant during the summer. The main eating area is downstairs and mainly serves sandwiches and cakes along with a hot dish of the day. The departure lounge is pleasant with natural light and plenty of dark blue seats. The Sherwood Lounge has easy chairs and sofas and is aimed at commercial travelers. Cardiff The facilities are simple and the decoration is showing its age. Shopping is extremely limited with only bare essentials available. There are no books or magazines for sale. The restaurant is unappealing. The tiny departure lounge is dark and uninviting. Statements:

First of all, there are so many ben {{U}}(77) {{/U}} of going straight to university. The most important point is that the s {{U}}(78) {{/U}} I get my qualifications, the quicker I'll get a job and start earning. In my opinion, starting work and making m {{U}}(79) {{/U}} is one of the most important things in life. And I'm not al {{U}}(80) {{/U}} in this opinion.

M {{U}}(83) {{/U}} , I'll be able to take part in the social activities that the university offers, and meet lots of new friends who share the same interests. However, it could also be at {{U}}(84) {{/U}} that I would meet lots of interesting people while I was traveling. Fur {{U}}(85) {{/U}}, if I spent a year travelling, I would learn more about the world. On the one hand, I would experience lots of different c {{U}}(86) {{/U}}. On the other hand, I could end up suffering from culture shock, homesickness and some str {{U}}(87) {{/U}} tropical diseases. Nevertheless, these inconveniences would be an inevitable part of travelling and would be greatly out {{U}}(88) {{/U}} by the advantages. Unf {{U}}(89) {{/U}}, another point is that if I spent a year traveling I would need a lot of money. But I b {{U}}(90) {{/U}} it would be easy to make a hit while I was travelling, giving English lessons or working in hotels and shops.

填空题 Passage Two Questions 66- 70 are based on the following passage. The sixteenth international AIDS conference opened on Sunday in Toronto, Canada. More than twenty-four thousand delegates from one hundred thirty-two countries are attending the six-day conference. They include scientists, health care providers, activists, political and business leaders and people living with the disease. Many people attending the AIDS conference represent private non-governmental organizations, or NGOs. Political scientists often describe NGOs as "pressure groups" because of their effect on world issues. They have little official power over international decision-making. However, NGOs often influence international policy. A broad definition of NGO is any non-profit group that is independent of government. Most of these private organizations have one or more goals. For example, some support community development, provide social services and help poor people. Others support human rights and social justice. Still others work to protect the environment. NGOs support many issues and operate around the world. Some of the most well-known include Oxfam, Amnesty International and Greenpeace. James Paul heads the Global Policy Forum. It is an NGO in New York City that studies policy-making at the United Nations. He says that some NGOs represent industries or businesses, the interests of governments, or even criminal groups. He sacs it would be a mistake to believe that all NGOs are neutral. The World Bank has divided NGOs into three main groups. The first is community-based organizations that serve populations in a small geographical area. The second is national NGOs, which operate in individual developing countries. International NGOs are the third kind. These organizations usually have their headquarters in industrialized countries. They carry out operations in more than one developing nation. Information about the total number of non-governmental organizations is incomplete. However, experts estimate that tens of thousands of NGOs are active around the world. Large international NGOs may have operating budgets of tens of millions of dollars. However, most NGOs are much smaller. Questions:

填空题Changes in the way people live bring about changes in the jobs that they do. More and more people live in towns and cities instead on farms and in villages. 1 Cities and states have to provide services city people want, such like more police 2 protection, more hospitals, and more schools. This means that more policemen, more nurses and technicians, and more teachers must be hired. Advances in technology has also changed people"s lives. Dishwashers and washing 3 machines do jobs that were once done by the hand. The widespread use 4 of such electrical appliances means that there is a need for servicemen to keep it running properly. 5 People are earning higher wages and salaries. This leads to changes in 6 the way of life. As income goes down, people may not want more food to 7 eat or more clothes to wear. But they may want more and better care from doctors, dentists and hospitals. They are likely to travel more and to want more education. Nevertheless, many more jobs are available in these services. 8 The government also affects the kind of works people do. The governments 9 of most countries spend huge sums of money for international defense. They hire 10 thousands of engineers, scientists, clerks, typists and secretaries to work on the many different aspects of defence.
