填空题 {{B}}Jenise:{{/B}} The good aspect of death penalty is that fear of death stops people from committing crimes. Besides, it guarantees that those who are really dangerous will neither commit their crimes again nor pass on undesirable hereditary (世袭的) traits (品性) to their children. In this way it protects society from many dangerous happenings.{{B}}Lee:{{/B}} But any fear of the capital punishment is greatly reduced by the decrease in the number of jurisdictions (司法) using it, by the uncertainty of detection (侦探), the long delays in court procedures, the decline in the number of executions, and by the nonpublic nature of executions. Statistical studies indicate that the use of the death penalty has no significant effect on either the frequency of capital crimes or the safety of law-enforcement officers.{{B}}Hoke:{{/B}} By attaching this penalty to certain crimes, the law exerts a positive moral influence in the educational process.

填空题Margaret Stephens: We expect equal pay for equal work during our work. Work always shows identity and status of a man. However, the same often holds true for a woman. We hope that our husbands can take our jobs as seriously as theirs. I worked as a nurse, he, a sales-manager. I followed him wherever he went. Each time he was transferred, I had to find a new job for myself. It wasn't until I received an award from my hospital that he realized how much emotion I had devoted to my profession. Barbra Stern: It is said that men and women solve problems in different ways. A man tends to be direct-line up all his options, select the best one, and then proceed. Women are direct, too, but they may also choose a less obvious path. Women really want men to respect the special ways they have when analyzing problems. When men struggle with a problem, they stay right with it, but often get more and more worried. Women are inclined to simply let problems solve themselves. Cindy Rodgers: Men tend to be romantic, and often fall in love more quickly than women. Women usually concentrate on practical considerations when choosing a mate and pursue long-term qualities with their partner. Far more than men, they allow their heads to control their hearts. Even though women may long for love, they often ask themselves, "Can I rely on this many" So any man who hopes to break off with a woman had better lengthen his timetable. Nora Kent: As for being alone, men often feel more uncomfortable than women and they tend to get bored more easily. Some men want to control their wives and they get upset when they aren't accompanied by their wives. Women need to take time off to shop, read, recharge batteries and a man shouldn't feel hurt if his wife doesn't like to spend every free minute with him. When a woman takes time to be alone, she's thinking to be autonomous. Jessica Vicino: A woman wants almost everything a man wants: success, power, status, money, love, marriage, happiness, fulfillment and so on. Few women enjoy being a mother, secretary or general picker upper for their husbands. A woman wants the man in her life to be equal, to respect her strengths, treats her weakness with kindness and generosity. In a word, she wants a friend, a lover and a partner who understands her. Now match each of the persons to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. Statements A Women don't fall in love as easily as men do. B Women need sympathy on the job. C A woman sometimes has to be alone. D A woman wants to be friends with her husband. E Men are less serious about their work. F Women can solve the problem well. G Women are serious about work.

填空题Lisa: Sometimes I think that successful marriages are an endangered societal species. It seems as though every time I turn around, another couple I know is getting divorced. It's a shame because marriage is very important. I believe that if people put more effort into making their marriages work, there would be fewer divorces. Marriage takes certain qualities to make it a success, such as responsibility and a sense of humor. If partners all understand this, more happy marriages will be maintained. Elizabeth: One thing I think that is important to a successful marriage is that you should not always think of yourself. My husband and I have stayed happily for about ten years. He makes me want to do things for him because of his generous nature. I know there are many times he would rather be reading, relaxing, or working on the car, but he only does something for himself when all the household chores are done and the kids have been taken care of. In return, I bake him all his favorite home-made cakes and cookies and try to go out of my way to do special things for him. I feel very fortunate to have married him. Catherine: My husband is my best friend, with whom I share most of my thought. We find it easy to talk about most things, so we don't have many secrets from each other. When my mother makes him upset, he tells me about it. Things like that are easier to deal with when they're out in the open than when they're kept inside. Thus, we have a very open, comfortable relationship. Rose: I feel sorry for what my divorced friends have lost. No matter how earnestly the former spouses try to "keep in touch", no matter how generous the visiting privileges for the parent who does not win custody of the children, the continuity of their lives has been broken. The years they spent together have been cut off from the rest of their lives; they are an isolated memory, no more integral to their past than a snapshot. Betty: The very first trick to a happy marriage is to be a person of yourself who does not imagine a husband is necessary to make you magically complete. Successful partnerships are not between those who cannot live without each other, but between those who can live with each other. There is no room even in daydreams for the stupid idea that there is on earth only one mate intended for another. Statements[A] Being unselfish is very important to make a marriage work.[B] Being able to communicate makes our marriage happy.[C] Being a person of independence leads to a successful marriage.[D] Divorced people will live an incomplete life.[E] Marriage is the result of extended love.[F] Divorce results from a lack of responsibility and a sense of humor.[G] Divorces can be avoided.

填空题Patricia: I went by Inter-Rail this summer with a group of friends from university. I think it worked very well, although a few of them said they'd never do it again--I guess it wasn't quite like they thought it was going to be--not as comfortable probably. We usually slept in hostels or on the train so we were completely exhausted but I think we had a great time. Next year I'll see if I can perhaps visit fewer places and not get so worn out.Davis: I traveled about 6,000 kilometres in four weeks with a couple of friends from college. We spent weeks planning out the route and all the places we were intending to go to. Would I do it again? Well, I'd have to think carefully about that but, on the whole the trip was good for me as I was the official translator, which was great as I'm normally a bit shy of talking to people I don't know. On the last night of the holiday they treated me to a really expensive meal for helping them out. It was terrific!Jenison: Well, I guess I had a good time now when I look back on it, and I saw eight countries in four weeks. Everything went well but I think that from now on I'll probably choose to do something else. I want to meet local people rather than just people who work for the train service! I did get to know quite a few other English and American students and they were great but it didn't do much for my French and German.Nigel: I think it's definitely the best way of getting around Europe even though you have to spend money on the Inter-Rail ticket before you leave. I have a friend who hitch hikes and he says that's the only way to travel because it's free and you see more interesting places. But I knew I could jump on a train wherever I wanted in the morning, while he would still be standing in the rain hoping for a lift. So all in all I think I got the better deal, especially as I could take the night train and save on hotel bills.Hawk: I've done it quite a few times now and I'm used to the kind of problems that arise, like having to sleep in a park because the train arrived too late for me to get a hostel bed, and trying to keep to a tight budget. The mistake people often make is to just get off at the tourist spots. Try getting off the train at the little villages, like I do. They're usually fascinating and the people are friendlier, too. Even if they don't understand your miserable attempt at their language they still smile and nod. Now match each of the students (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements.Statements[A] The trip was good value for the money.[B] The trip gave me a chance to socialize with people.[C] The trip didn't work out as expected.[D] I saw something most people missed.[E] I wish I had seen more places on the trip.[F] The trip was tiring yet enjoyable.[G] I'd like to try something different from this trip.

填空题Mr. Croft

填空题Bob Davis: It was so loud that I couldn't hear my own voice. You see, I had a terrible headache. I couldn't sleep at all that night. I just tossed and turned. In the morning I phoned the police, but they said they couldn't do anything about it. Why not? Don't I have a right to peace and quiet inside my own home? I tell you, next time the van comes, I am going to get a hammer and smash its windows.Mr. White: Making a noise isn't a crime, so I can't prevent it. Mr. Davis should complain to the ice-cream company. I'm sure they would agree to turn down the volume a little, for the sake of good public relations. I mean, if he starts smashing windows, I'll have to arrest him, however much I sympathize with you.Mr. Bolton: Of course we have to make a noise. If we didn't, the kids wouldn't know we were there, would you? And then they wouldn't get their ice-creams. I mean, we have to make a living, don't we? Besides, everyone knows our jingle and they love it. It is one of the most popular sounds in town. If Mr. Davis doesn't like it, he can just close his windows.Mrs. Green: There are plenty of ice-cream shops in town. Anyone who wants to buy an ice-cream can go and buy one from the shop. Why should we all put up with that terrible noise just so a few people can buy their ice-creams without going to the shop? I mean, what would happen if I sold my fruit the same way? Or all the other shopkeepers? The noise would be unbearable, wouldn't it? We would all go deaf, wouldn't we? It seems to me the ice-cream company is making money at everyone else's expense.Mr. Croft: We're following a very old tradition. For thousands of years merchants in this city have identified themselves with individual sounds: bells, whistles, shouts and so on. We've chosen a nice tune which children can remember. Our jingle is one of many natural neighbor hood sounds. For example: church bells, school singing, cheering at football matches and so on. Well, it isn't noisy and it's not unpleasant. If making a noise were a crime, then car horns, washing machines and road drills would all be forbidden. Now match each of the schools to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements.[A] The ice-cream van should stop making such noise and the ice-cream company is making money at everyone else's expense.[B] A policeman can't arrest those who make a noise, but he will arrest those if they start smashing the windows of the ice-cream van.[C] Some people perhaps get used to the noise around them but a lot of people can't and don't.[D] I can't stand the noise and I have a right to peace and quiet inside my own home?[E] Very loud noises can cause brain damage and nervous diseases.[F] I have to play a jingle to attract the children's attention, I mean, we have to make a living.[G] Using a familiar sound to attract customers is an old tradition, and I don't agree that the jingle the company has chosen is noisy and unpleasant.

填空题Tang Haiyang I’m fond of new things and like a life that changes every day. If people engaged in this specialty fail to learn new things and brash up their knowledge, they will be eliminated quickly through competition. Sometimes I think how tiring it is to live a whole life like this. No wonder many people in the IT industry have designed a life pattern of working hard and making enough money to retire at the age of 40. Dai Ni I dreamed of becoming a diplomat in my childhood. But I never thought of serving as a kids’ head. Working with children, I feel pure happiness. I’ve learned a lot from them, such as the law governing the Internet and websites. The Internet is developing so quickly that young people of my age do not necessarily know more than the kids do. Chen Bin The greatest attraction of the Internet industry lies in its difference from traditional industries. New ideas can be adopted quickly in the trade. On many occasions there are no defined rules. People give full play to their own abilities. If it’s successful, it’s fight. If not, take up a new idea. There’s no fixed pattern here. Lin Sumin The charm of the Internet lies in its possession of some basic things that cater to human nature, things that satisfy people’s desire to communicate while hiding themselves. Everybody wishes to make sincere friends. But, more and more people are afraid of face-to-face communication. So they indulge in chatting on the net. Chatting on the net is a sort of unreal state. But, is it all true when people talk face to face? Now match each of the persons with the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. Statements A. I feel happy to have learned a lot from children. B. I hope to realize my media dream through Internet. C. I think people wish to talk with each other without face-to-face communication. D. I must keep on learning new things in this field. E. I can always have new ideas on the Internet. F. Internet is charming.

填空题Directions: Read the texts from an article, For five questions, match each rule (1 to 5) to one of the statements (A to G) given below. Mark your answer on your ANSWER SHEET. As any woman can prove, there are some things at which her gender naturally excels. In the past decade, academic research has offered insight into the feminine advantage:Part Ⅰ Verbal superiority may continue from childhood to adulthood. Studies show that women excel at certain verbal-fluency tests, such as listing multiple words that begin with the same letter. Some researchers have also found that women are more adept at learning foreign languages than men are.Part Ⅱ According to psychologist Doreen Kimura of the University of Western Ontario, women outperform men on "precision manual tasks." In studies involving quick, accurate, small movements, and a pegboard test (in which subjects place small pegs into holes as quickly as they can), women outdo men.Part Ⅲ In one study of 1955, Richard L. Doty, in the University of Pennsylvania Smell and Taste Center, asked randomly selected sniffers to identify scents. He found that, on average, women outperformed men. Women also have lower odor "thresholds", meaning they can detect fainter odors than men can. Women do better than men on hearing tests, too. And their hearing deteriorates less rapidly than men's over time, according to Mary Anne Baker, a psychology professor at Indiana University Southeast.Part Ⅳ Women interrupt less, are more likely to be complimentary, and laugh at other people's jokes more. And women even disagree agreeably, as in "That's a good point, but —" In numerous studies, women also read nonverbal cues—facial expressions, body movements, and changes in tone of voice—more accurately than men do, according to Hall. Women's faces are generally more expressive than men's, too, says Hall.Part Ⅴ As more women rise to upper management, researchers have examined differences in how men and women lead. Women tend to share power, encourage participation, and boost their employees' sense of self-worth. Many of the women believe subordinates perform best when they feel good about themselves, and women tend to foster that feeling. Insignificant contrast, their male counterparts exercise more formal authority and care more about hierarchy, Rosenerfound. Now match each of the schools to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements.[A] Born to lead.[B] Super Senses.[C] Handy Women.[D] Social Communication.[E] Attentive Character.[F] Habit of thrift.[G] The Language Gap.

填空题Stella We might marvel at the progress made in every field of study, but the methods of testing a person's knowledge and ability remain as primitive as ever they were. It really is extraordinary that after all these years, educationists have still failed to devise anything ore efficient and reliable than examinations. For all the claim that examinations test what you know, it is common knowledge that they more often do the exact opposite. They may be just a good means of testing memory, or the skill of working rapidly under extreme pressure. Terrell As anxiety-makers, examinations are second to none. That is because so much depends on them. They are the mark of success or failure in our society. Your whole future may be decided in one fateful day. It doesn't matter that you weren't feeling very well, or that your mother died. Little things like that don't count: the exam goes on. No one can give of his best when he is in mortal terror, or after a sleepless night, yet this is precisely what the examination system expects him to do. Roger Examinations do not motivate a student to read widely, but to restrict his reading; they do not enable him to seek more and more knowledge, but induce cramming. They lower the standards of teaching, for they deprive the teacher of all freedom. Teachers themselves are often judged by examination results and instead of teaching their subjects, they are reduced to training their students in exam techniques which they despise. The most successful candidates are not always the best educated; they are the best trained in the technique of working under force. Gardner At least, examinations give us a way to check how well we are getting along with our study. Students get to know their weak points and what they should try to improve in the future study. Teachers get useful feedback from their students and can reflect on their own teaching. Without examination, both teachers and students may get lost. Forster Examiners are only human. They get tired and hungry; they make mistakes. Yet they have to mark stacks of hastily scrawled scripts in a limited amount of time. They work under the same sort of pressure as the candidates. And their word carries weight. After a judge's decision you have the right of appeal, but not after an examiner's. There must surely be much simpler and more effective ways of assessing a person's true abilities.StatementsA. Examinations cannot test a person's true knowledge and ability.B. Examinations are constantly being improved.C. The results of examinations are the subjective assessment of the examiners.D. Personal factors can affect your performance in examinations.E. Examinations restrict learning and teaching.F. Examinations help to evaluate teaching and learning.G. Teachers want examinations; they provide a clear objective assessment.

填空题Joyce Swenson

填空题Proper Physical Labor In the past people had to use their physical bodies in the course of their normal work. But today someone may get up, go to work in a car, then sit down, get up to go home in the car and when arriving at home, sit down again for the rest of the day. In such a life there is no physical labor. This physical inactivity is one of the main reasons for a host of diseases. Sport, running, walking and other things must be added to our life if our normal work does not require us to exert ourselves physically.Going to Sleep When One Feels Sleepy This may sound simple, but many people stay up late even when their body is telling them that it is time to sleep. Yoga doctors also say that it is better to sleep in the night and be active during the day. However, people such as students will take coffee and stimulants to study late into the night. Others develop the habit of remaining active at night and sleeping during the day. While we can do this, it eventually takes a toll on health. Yoga says that this kind of unnatural living is one of the contributing factors in the causation of cancer. Eating When One Feels Hungry This is also a simple idea, but once again we often go against the messages of the body. If one eats out of habit or due to social pressure at certain time of the day, even when one has no real appetite, then there will not be proper digestion of food. Acidity and indigestion begin and this contributes to the likelihood of other more complex diseases taking root. Having an appetite is actually a sign of good health, but ff there is no appetite one should wait a bit and then eat. Ablution Before Sleep As mentioned above, proper sleep is essential for the maintenance of health. If one washes sensory organs (hands, arms, eyes, legs, mouth) before sleep using cool water, this relaxes the body and prepares it for deep sleep. Regular Performance of Meditation The body is linked to the mind. Many of the diseases of this era are psychosomatic. Stress and anxiety take their toll on our physical health. Meditation is a mental exercise that, among other things, allows a person to detach him or herself from the worries of life.Statements A. Acidity and indigestion begin and this contributes to the likelihood of other more complex diseases taking root. B. This physical inactivity is one of the main reasons for a host of diseases. C. It is better to sleep in the night and be active during the day. D. On a periodic basis it is good to refrain from eating for one complete day. E. Before sleep using cool water, this relaxes the body and prepares it for deep sleep. F. Yoga is an ancient science of physical, mental and spiritual development. G. It is a mental exercise.

填空题Li:

填空题Simon: I work not because I like it but that I have to, so I often count the minutes until stopping work or holidays. However, my sister is totally different. She enjoys her work so much that she often spends extra time on her job even take work home with her. I think she is so crazy about work just as some people are about drugs or alcohol. I could hardly understand it. Matthew: Work is a core element of our lives. It gives us a sense of identity in the larger world outside the personal circle of family and friends. However, there are some people for whom work occupies an even more central place in their lives. Workaholics are a stereotype of modern life, and they are both praised and criticized. On the one hand, it may be the accepted way of earning promotion. On the other hand, workaholics are often viewed as neglecting aspects of life such as family and leisure that are important for maintaining a healthy equilibrium. Andrew: In cities, workaholism is so common that people do not regard it as unusual. I think workaholics prefer to work rather than do anything else because they don't know how to kill time if they don't work. They can only get pleasure from work. Work is everything for them. Colin: Workaholism is dangerous in a sense because it can cause some problems. First of all, workaholics often have health problems because they don't have time to relax and keep themselves occupied all the time. Secondly, their family life is not happy since they spend little time with their family. Their marriage may even ends in divorce. Vincent: Being a workaholic can mean you achieve great things, but more people achieve great things without being addicted to work. Workaholics need time away from work and when I say "away from" I mean psychologically distanced from it as well as physically. If you are still obsessing about work when you should be focused on your loved ones or an outside of work activity then you are still basically working. Statements A. Some people appreciate those who pay almost all their attention on work. B. If you don't get rid of workaholism, you may get ill. C. To get promotion, you need to be a workaholic. D. Workaholics' behaviors are hard to understand. E. Workaholics had better have some time with no work. F. It's hard for workaholics to be away from work psychologically. G. Workaholics don't know how to enjoy themselves except working.

填空题Staten Island

填空题Hugh Pendy: We are facing a serious energy crisis. All known reserves of coal, oil and gas will be exhausted within ten years. It is urgent and imperative that we develop new sources of energy immediately. Nuclear power is the answer to our problems. If we don't build nuclear power stations now, our civilization will collapse. The Government has decided to build a nuclear power station to solve the energy problem we are facing. I am for this wise decision.Maureen Preston: We can't allow this power station to be built. It would cause terrible damage to the environment and all living creatures in the district would be in great danger. A small leak would cause a disaster. It's our duty as responsible citizens to force the Government to abandon their unclear energy program. I used to believe nuclear power station were safe. But last month I read a newspaper report that there were at least five major leaks in the last two years in other stations. In each case, the alarm systems failed and there could have been a disaster. Scientists have too much faith in their own ideas. It's time the truth was told that nuclear power stations are very dangerous.Peter Epstein: This power station will be absolutely safe. There will be no danger of leakage because the reactor will be housed in a concrete box with walls six meters thick. Five independent alarm systems will monitor every square centimeter of the power station to prevent fire or sabotage. People are afraid of nuclear power because they don't understand it. We must educate them. Nuclear power is clean, quiet, cheap, and pollution-free, unlike conventional power using gas, oil and coal. Furthermore it is almost unlimited.William Mclean: The Government is placing far too much emphasis on nuclear power. It will take many more years of experimentation before the safety problem alone is overcome. In the meantime, we should develop other ways of taking energy from the earth, such as sunshine, or wind or tide, waves, rivers ,hot springs, etc, etc. They are cheaper, safer and more convenient than nuclear power. Scientists could do more in exploiting how to make use of these things in nature and benefit human beings.Jack Robin: I am not worried about the energy crisis. My house is heated by solar energy; my electricity is supplied by a windmill in my garden; and I go to work by bicycle. If everybody followed my example, there would not be any energy crisis. People are so wasteful. Do they really need big cars, central heating systems and millions of electronic gadgets? I doubt it. We live a far more unhealthy life than before. People are getting lazier and lazier. Many people suffer from overeating and lack of physical exercises. We should make good use of the development of science and technology and shouldn't let the machine getting control. Now match each of the persons (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. Statements[A] We should educate people to make them understand how a nuclear power station works.[B] A nuclear power station would cause a disaster.[C] Nuclear power station is a good resolution to our energy crisis.[D] We should educate people to make them understand that nuclear power station is safe.[E] I now believe that nuclear power is dangerous.[F] We should make use of other type of energies before taking the risk of building a nuclear power station.[G] If we live a healthier life, there would not be any energy crisis.
