填空题Last year, researchers published new findings from the Women's Health Initiative, a long-term study of more than 160000 midlife women. The data showed that multivitamin-takers are no (36) than those who don't take the pills, at least when it comes to the big diseases-cancer, heart disease, and (37) "Even women with poor diets weren't helped by taking a multivitamin," says study author Marian Neuhouser, PhD, in the cancer (38) program at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, in Seattle. Vitamin (39) came into fashion in the early 1900s, when it was difficult or impossible for most people to get a wide variety of fresh fruits and vegetables year-round. Back then, vitamin (40) diseases weren't unheard-of: the bowed legs and (41) ribs caused by a severe shortage of vitamin D, or the skin problems and mental (42) caused by a lack of vitamin B. But these days, you're (43) unlikely to be seriously deficient if you eat an average American diet, if only because many packaged foods are vitamin-enriched. Sure, (44) . "Multi vitamins have maybe two dozen ingredients--but plants have hundreds of other useful compounds," Neuhouser says. " (45) ." That said there is one group that probably ought to keep taking a multi-vitamin: women of reproductive age. The supplement is insurance in case of pregnancy. (46) .

填空题Directions：In this section，there is a short passage with 5 questions or incomplete statements． Read the passage carefully．Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words．Please write your answers on Answer Sheet 2．Questions 47 to 51 are based on the following passage． A punctual person is in the habit of doing a thing at the proper time and is never late in keeping an appointment． The unpunctual man，on the other hand，never does what he has to do at the proper time．He is always in a hurry and in the end loses both time and his good name．There is an old saying which says，“Time flies never to be recalled．”This is very true．A lost thing may be found again．but lost time can never be obtained again．Time is more valuable than material things．In fact time is life itself，and unpunctual man is forever wasting and mismanaging his most valuable asset as well as others’The unpunctual man is always complaining that he finds no time to answer letters，or return calls or make an appointment．But the man who really has a great deal to do is very careful of his time and seldom complains of want of it．He knows that he cannot get through his immense amount of work unless he faithfully keeps every appointment without the least delay and deals with every piece of work when it has to be attended promptly．Failure to be punctual in keeping one’s appointments is a sign of disrespect toward others．If a person is invited to a dinner and arrives later than the appointed time，he keeps all the other guests waiting for him．This is a great impoliteness both towards the host and the other guests． Friends sometimes grow cold towards each other，or even become enemies，because one of them has been neglectful of answering letters or keeping appointments． Unpunctuality，moreover，is very harmful when it comes to one’s duty，whether public or private．Imagine how it would be if those who are entrusted with important tasks failed to be at their proper place at the appointed time．A man who is known to be habitually unpunctual is never trusted by friends or fellow men．And the unpunctual man is a source of annoyance both to others and to himself．

填空题In the British Museum on a Sunday afternoon, ancient faces look back at children and adults alike. Inside their glass cases, pharaohs (法老) and priests are 31 by the crowds. And crowds there always are, for these are the painted coffins and carved masks of the ancient Egyptians, antiquity (文物) of a culture that has 32 the world for thousands of years. Ancient civilization is part of the world"s heritage, and in recent times it seemed nothing could seriously threaten that 33 . Tourists visited such sites as Giza in Egypt and Olympia in Greece safe in the assumed knowledge that we were seeing wonders that would always be available to admire. Yet the instability of the world in 2012 is a threat to the apparently 34 monuments of antiquity. In Greece, being anxious and alienated as the weakest economy in the euro zone faces terrible pressure to transform its way of life had a troubling reflection at Olympia last week, where a museum of the ancient Greek games was 35 by thieves. Perhaps this was coincidence, but it is the second recent museum robbery in Greece. Meanwhile in Egypt, tourism levels have 36 sharply since the revolution, and hotels are haft-empty. This is where the word "tourism" becomes in itself harmful. People who visit Egypt to see ancient art are certainly tourists, in the country that was at the heart of the very idea of modem tourism. But this word has unfairly come to imply a selfish, shallow form of consumer spending, 37 valuable to poor countries but irrelevant to the higher concerns of national self-determination and democratic change. To reduce the problems of the Egyptian tourist industry to these cold terms is wrong. Many people visit Egypt with a passionate longing to gaze on the eyes of Tutankhamun and stand at the foot of the Great Pyramid. More practically, the 38 from tourism help keep Egyptian sites and museums going. To say these places are only of interest to "tourists" would be 39 and miserable. Both Greece and Egypt are guardians of sites and objects of the highest importance to the entire world. If UNESCO has any value it is surely to 40 the fate of antiquities in times like these. And if we shrug and write off antiquity as the stuff of tourism and scholarship, "irrelevant" to these extraordinary times, we are already well on the way to barbarism (野蛮). A. ascended I. raided B. compliment J. reference C. descended K. revenues D. economically L. scrutinize E. entranced M. separately F. inheritance N. tragic G. logical O. undisturbed H. peaceful

填空题The importance of and focus on the interview in the work of the print and broadcast journalist is reflected in several books that have been written on the topic. Most of these books, as well as several chapters, mainly in, but not limited to, journalism and broadcasting handbooks and reporting texts, stress the "how-to" aspects of journalistic interviewing rather than the conceptual aspects of the interview, its context and implications. Much of the "how-to" material is based on personal experiences and general impressions. As we know, in journalism as in other fields, much can be learned from the systematic study of professional practice. Such study brings together evidence from which broad generalized principles can be developed. There is, as has been suggested, a growing body of research literature in journalism and broadcasting, but very little significant attention has been devoted to the study of the interview itself. On the other hand, many general texts as well as numerous research articles on interviewing in fields other than journalism have been written. Many of these books and articles present the theoretical and empirical aspects of the interview as well as the training of the interviewers. Unhappily, this plentiful general literature about interviewing pays little attention to the journalistic interview. The fact that the general literature on interviewing does not deal with the journalistic interview seems to be surprising for two reasons. First, it seems likely that most people in modern Western societies are more familiar, at least in a positive manner, with journalistic interviewing than with any other form of interviewing. Most of us are provably somewhat familiar with the clinical interview, such as that conducted by physicians and psychologists. In these situations the professional person or interviewer is interested in getting information necessary for the diagnosis and treatment of the person seeking help. Another familiar situation is the job interview. However, very few of us have actually been interviewed personally by the mass media, particularly by television. And yet, we have a vivid acquaintance with the journalistic interview by virtue of our roles as readers, listeners, and viewers. Even so, true understanding of the journalistic interview, especially television interviews, requires thoughtful analysis and even study, as this book indicates. (369 words)
