填空题Marvin Burnham We are in an energy crisis and we will have to do something quickly. Fossil fuels are rapidly running out. The tragedy is that fossil fuels are far too valuable to waste on the production of electricity. Just think of all the things you can make from oil! If we don't start thinking ways to face the problem, it will be too late.Catherine Woodstock Instead of burning fossil fuels we should be concentrating on more economic uses of electricity, because electricity can be produced from any source of energy. We can do research on solar energy, wind power, wave power, tidal power, hydroelectric schemes etc; otherwise, our fossil fuels will run out, and we'll all freeze or starve to death. We really won't survive unless we start working on cleaner, safer sources of energy.Michael Parkhurst In the past, we consumed too much energy. If we didn't waste so much energy, our resources would last longer. You can save more energy by conservation than you can produce for the same money. Unless everyone realize the seriousness of energy crisis and stop wasting, our resources will not support us for long.Charles Wicks I don't agree with some of the estimates of world energy reserves. More oil and gas is being discovered all the time. If we listened to the pessimists, none of us would sleep at night. In the short term, we can still rely on the fossil fuels—oil, coal and gas. Researches are going on and new sources of energy will be found in the future. So there is nothing to worry about.Jennifer Hughes Some people think nuclear power is away to solve the problem, but think of the potential danger of it. There is no perfect machine. I mean, why do aeroplanes crash? Machines fail. People make mistakes. What would happen if there were a serious nuclear accident? And an accident must be inevitable—sooner or later. Huge areas would be evacuated, and they could remain contaminated with radioactivity for years. If it happened in your area, you wouldn't get a penny in compensation. No insurance company covers nuclear risks. Radioactivity causes cancer and may affect future generations, too. statementsA. We should take steps to solve the problem.B. Saving the present resources is the most important thing.C. Nuclear power is an ideal alternative.D. We should develop alternative sources of power.E. I'm optimistic about the future of energy.F. Nuclear power is not secure.G. Energy crisis is inevitable.

填空题Directions: Read the texts from an article, For five questions, match each rule(1 to5) to one of the statements (A to G) given below. Mark your answer on your ANSWER SHEET. Zhao: I should say qualifications are very important nowadays. You'll never get a good job if you don' t have any qualifications. As I can see it, qualifications are a good proof that you have the necessary qualities and skills to work in a particular profession. If you want to get a job, you must have some kind of qualifications.Qian: I agree that qualifications are important nowadays. But qualifications are certainly no guarantee of success. The thing is that with a growing number of people looking for a smaller and smaller number of jobs a person without any qualifications stands very little chance. I think the kind of qualification people want is changing, though. They seem to want something far more related to the kind of job they want to do. The number of people who want to do arts degree at university is falling for example, but computing courses are nearly always full.Sun: I don' t think qualifications are very important nowadays at least not higher qualifications. I think it' s all right if you can leave school with some sort of certificate, but after that I think a lot is up to the individual to succeed. If the will to make it to the top is there, then paper qualifications are not going to make any difference at all. How many chairman and directors of large companies have university degrees? My guess is that there are not many. So, I think that there is a lot to be said for good sound experience rather than a piece of paper.Li: I think it is very important to have qualifications if you want to succeed. As higher education is available to nearly everybody nowadays the chance of obtaining employment without any qualifications is almost impossible. I think far too much importance is attached to qualifications and not enough to experience and capability, but I feel that until it becomes more difficult to obtain a qualification this situation will continue.Wang: I think today what you know is much less important than what kind of academic background you' ve got, or whom you know or how old you are. You see, many Young people are complaining about it. On the one hand, society provides young people with better educational facilities, on the other it does its best to exclude them from the job that really matter. I think people, whether you are young or old, should be free to compete on equal terms. What counts should be one's ability, not one' s background or academic qualifications. Now match each of the schools to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements.{{B}} Statements{{/B}}[A] Good sound experience and the will to succeed are more important than paper qualifications.[B] The situation that too much importance is attached to qualifications and not enough to experience and capability will probably continue.[C] Qualifications are very important because they prove that you have achieved the necessary standard of knowledge or skill in a subject.[D] Qualifications are guarantee of success.[E] More importance is being attached to practical qualifications, such as computing, rather than purely academic qualifications, such as arts degree.[F] Without higher qualification, you will never succeed.[G] People should compete equally.

填空题Mary The new book about the death of Princess Diana is an insult to the French medical team that fought in vain to save her life last August. Everyone knows the situation was hopeless. It is tasteless for a couple of American journalists to criticize the heroic efforts of the French doctors and the British intelligence team that have had to pick up the pieces and deal with the aftermath of the accident. The authors can wheel out as many American Experts as they like, expound on as many theories as they like of how American procedures could have saved Diana’s life, but this is just another tacky attempt to make money out of Diana’s horrific death. Sian Given the extent of Diana’s injuries, her death was inevitable. Stories about what might have happened only cause further pain for the families of those involved. Let the dead rest in peace. Andre The suggestion that Diana could have been saved if she had been transported more quickly to a hospital completely ignores the French system of medical rescue, which relies on fully equipped ambulances manned by a medical team under the supervision of a physician. It’s easy to say afterward that Diana should have been sent to the hospital fight away. But when a team arrives on the scene, it is impossible in most cases to tell immediately what is the best solution. The French approach is a reasonable one. Rob You provided a tantalizing excerpt from what is no doubt a fascinating book. The section on whether Diana could have lived debates relevant issues of delay in hospital treatment, given that Diana survived for nearly two hours. But what is surely more important is that if she, Dodi Fayed and the chauffeur had been wearing seat belts, they almost certainly would have survived and been able to throw some real light on exactly what happened in the accident. Now match each of the persons with the appropriate statement. Note: there is one extra statement. Statements A. No one can tell exactly what happened in the accident. B. I think we should not bring any more pains for the families concerned. C. I think some American reporters are just attempting to make more money out of her death. D. The French medical team is correct in treating Diana on the scene. E. Diana could have been saved if she was delivered to the hospital quickly.

填空题 {{B}}Jennifer:{{/B}} The greenhouse effect might be causing the change, but it's a cycle that's been tracked for about a hundred years and in the past 20 years or so it just stopped cycling. And this is only affecting a small part of the world. People talk about greenhouse effect because they want to show how much concern they have about the future of the world. Don't be as silly as them. {{B}}Kac: {{/B}} Spring just hits here, too. It's so nice—windows open, the fresh air of changing seasons just lights me up. When I was younger this was the season for walking through the melting snow and ice, across roadsides, through square acre forests among the fields, I got so excited to be out in the wild. It's tough to be in the city this time of year. Maybe I'll go camping soon! {{B}}Soscia: {{/B}} In the city you don't have seasons. Spring rain does not make man-made structure grow, and wet roads are not inconvenient for you because you can move around in your car. Summer's heat is no longer a problem and air-conditioning makes your rooms cool as autumn. The colors of the city don't change because nature is not powerful enough to change them as she changes the color of woods. Winter snow leaves nothing white but muddy roads.{{B}} Harno: {{/B}} Snow in Georgia is a funny thing. We have been having 24 hours weather news on the TV for the past week, just because there is a threat of snow. Schools have closed based on these predictions, and all we got was rain. But the rule is that if it sticks to the ground, school is canceled. It would be a great excuse to get the day off. People rush to the grocery store to buy milk and bread—I don't know why, but they do. When I was growing up here we used to get one or two big snowfalls a year, but there has not been any for the last few. Damn global warming.{{B}} Macland: {{/B}} It's been so nice. I am of the firm belief that in February we get the day like cool autumn season in November…In February it's like a warm period that's been getting stronger and longer every year since my boyhood, and it gets defeated by the final blowing snowstorm of March at least once, but anyone can survive (生存)those snowstorms, since we all know they'll be gone in a few days. Now match each of the people (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Statements [A] Future is bright. [B] Man conquers nature. [C] We can see the effect of the pollution on the climate. [D] Human beings have to struggle hard against weather. [E] The call of nature is there. [F] He hates spring. [G] Sometimes we worry too much about nothing. Note: there are two extra statements.

填空题Linda My husband weighed 275 pounds. He used to skip breakfast, and he didn"t eat all that much for dinner. So I once wondered why he was getting so big. Then I found out he was stopping to buy a dozen chocolate-covered doughnuts each morning. And you know how I found out? He was eating them while driving, so he wouldn"t have to share them at work. While chasing one that roiled across the front seat, he ran into a telephone pole. Emily Two years ago, I knew my husband"s health was at risk because of all the weight he had picked up since we"d been married. But he wasn"t doing anything about it. Then I went to a doctor"s office and I followed his advice and started talking about food to my husband-what was good, what was bad-as if it was a new discovery. I didn"t lecture my husband about the evils of being overweight, didn"t try to threaten him by saying if he didn"t lose weight his blood pressure could shoot sky-high and he might have a heart attack. Instead, I talked about how well he"d look in new clothes, how he" d probably do better on the job (he was a salesman), to ask questions. After a few months, he"d lost 20 pounds. John I once kept a list of everything I ate one week, just to show my wife was wrong about where I was picking up extra pounds. When I studied my list, I wondered how I found time to do any work, I was eating so much. There"s nothing like seeing it in black and white to prove you"re wrong. Jane Scott When I found my husband had weight problem, I was determined to take some measures. I made sure I needed something from the store three mornings a week, and then I told my husband I didn"t want to walk there alone-it was about a quarter of a mile each way-and I"d always insist on walking. He breathed hard at first, but gradually got used to it, and we started making a circle around the neighborhood at night, too, with the dog. That was three years ago, and now I can"t keep him still. The walking got him used to using his body again, and he was happy to find it still worked pretty well. Ted Men tend to think less about the costs of excess pounds than women do. Men often seem blind to the possibility that a beer belly is causing them to look unattractive to their mates, holding them back in their careers and killing them before their time. Also, many men feel self-conscious going to a diet center-especially if most of the group is female. Diets are perceived to be of women"s concern, or an admission of weakness. There are even men who would rather blow up like a blimp before they admit to other men-or themselves-that they need to lose weight. Now match each of the persons with the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. Statements A. The heavier, the merrier. B. Some form of physical exercise has to play a part in men"s weight-loss program. C. Attention should be paid to eating patterns. D. Men"s attitudes are quite different from women"s. E. Gaining weight has nothing to do with health. F. Your educational role sometimes has to be more subtle. G. Facts are indisputable.

填空题Article Five

填空题Greg Louganis: These were the trials for the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, Korea. Until this dive, I had been ahead. But now, something else was more significant than winning. I might have endangered other divers' lives if I have spilled blood in the pool. For what I knew—that few others knew—was that I was HIV-positive. AIDS forced me to stop diving; I had to quit diving professionally after the Olympics. Margaret Chan: It is reported that almost three million people in developing countries are now receiving drugs for HIV. This is an increase of almost one million people from two thousand and six. Still, the hope was to reach three million by two thousand and five. But antiretroviral therapy, or ART, alone will not solve the problem. For every two persons we manage to provide them with ART, another five persons get infected. So again, we cannot underestimate the power of prevention. Paula Green: The disease robs the body of its natural defenses against infections. Almost seventy-five percent of people receiving HIV drugs are in Africa. The drugs help patients live longer without developing AIDS. An estimated nine million seven hundred thousand people in low and middle income countries were in need of HIV treatment last year. However, by the end of the year, just over thirty percent of them were getting it. Raymond Chow: Price reductions can be a main method to let more people with HIV, including more pregnant women, receive the drugs. Also, delivery systems should be redesigned to better serve individual countries and smaller health centers. And treatments should be simpler than in the past. William Wang: Huge barriers still remain in dealing with the AIDS epidemic. Getting patients to stay on their therapy is difficult. There are still large numbers of people who do not get tested for HIV. And there are many others who get tested too late and die within months. What's more, there is not enough joint treatment of HIV and the related infections that most often kill AIDS patients. And still another problem is the shortage of health care workers in the developing world. Statements A. Some HIV-positive patients don't cooperate with doctors. B. AID patient's blood may be dangerous to other people's lives. C. People are scared of AIDS. D. Treatment is more urgent than prevention. E. Many people can't get HIV drugs because of poverty. F. More people get HIV treatment, but even more get infected. G. HIV drugs should be cheaper.

填空题 Paul Smith: Hello, everyone. Today let's talk about study performance. Perhaps you are an average student with average intelligence that you will never become a top student. This is not necessarily the case, however. In my opinion, our concentration on studies is of most importance to us. Concentrating on our studies, everyone is likely to be a top student without additional work. Now it's for each of you to discuss how we manage it. Carol: From my personal experience, the planning of time is of the greatest importance. We must make a list of our weekly tasks. Then make a schedule or chart of the time. Fill in committed time such as eating, sleeping, meetings, classes, etc. Then decide on good, regular times for studying. Good planning will make you more aware of how you spend your time. Furthermore, it will enable you t9 plan your activities so that you have ad equate time for both work and play. Siemon: As to me, it is important to develop a good attitude about tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. So don't worry excessively about a single test. Tests provide grades, but they also let us know that we need to spend more time studying, and they help make our new knowledge permanent. Laura: I do think that study place is critical in our study. A good study area is supposed to improve our study efficiency. It may be a desk or a chair at home or in the school library, but it should be comfortable, and it should not have distractions. When you begin to work, you should be able to concentrate on the subject. Davis: I think regularity matters a lot. In class, we should listen carefully to what the teacher says, go over the notes as soon as possible after class and review important points mentioned in class as well as those we remain confused about. This will help us understand the class better. If we review the notes and textbook regularly, the material will become more meaningful and you will remember it longer. Now match each of the persons (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements.Statements[A] To ensure your study efficiency, you should choose a good study area.[B] If you set your mind on your studies, you'll become a top one.[C] Regularity plays nothing more than anything in studies.[D] Regularity plays an critical role in our studies.[E] Your school performance depends on your study habits.[F] We should develop a good attitude towards tests.[G] It's important to have a good planning of our school time

填空题Liu: To me, work is first and my child is second. I work more for myself than for my child because it's the only way to be economically independent. Otherwise, I may some day lose everything, even my child. I can give for the sake of my daughter but never at the cost of my career. Only after I achieve value through work can it be possible for me to raise my baby. I resumed working after a short maternity (产妇的) leave. Now my daughter goes to kindergarten while I am at work; I think that is her first step into society. Liang: Nowadays, economic independence is particularly important to women. The only way to realize self-value is through work. I believe women should first live as a social entity (实体), then as a mother. And there are facts to show that women are not inferior to men in the working world. Child is just another part of my life, it would be impossible to make her my whole life. I think I will also get a nanny (保姆) to lend me a hand. Yao: When women make their career as their final pursuit, I think they lose their natural maternal instincts. I hope my wife will put most of her energy and time on child care and family. Because she gives birth to the child, she can do a much better job than the father in understanding the child. The mother should be the main educator while father works as her assistant. Wang: Women are naturally fit for human reproduction while men are meant for material production. Married women must assume the role of full-time mothers if their financial situation permits it; and a woman's value is only realized after she has successfully raised her child. Zhao: Although we may say women's talents lie in being mothers, we should admit that women do not sacrifice their families for work and they are not expected to give up a chance for a career. Both parents need to balance the responsibilities of family and work. After all women are equal members of society and have value in all social fields. Statements A. My child is the focus of my life. B. Family and work are both important for women. C. Men should be asked to return to their paternal duties. D. I would give up the whole world for my work. E. Women need work to prove their own value. F. Women are born to be mothers. G. Women understand child better than men.

填空题Mr. Zhao: Most important for us in the way of skills is the ability to communicate. We want to know about the personal qualities of the individual, so I try to ask questions to draw them out and attempt to find out if they have a sense of themselves. What I ' m looking for is an ability to verbalize an idea in clear, simple, understandable language. I' m also looking for the ability to listen attentively and then to be able to respond to an idea or thought that has been presented to them. If they do have good communication skills, they will be able to do this logically and briefly.Mr. Qian: I'm looking for creativity. I will ask some odd questions just to see if this throws them. How do they respond in these tough situations-can they be creative with their answers.'? This is very important when they are out in business situations with customers. They will have to respond to very sudden changes and problem - solving situations that they are not necessarily familiar with, and I want to know if they can handle them.Mr. Sun: What we look for most are personal qualities—assertiveness, ambition, and a competitive instinct. They should be high achievers and want to work hard. I can usually tell about these qualities from the way the person presents himself or herself and some of the activities they have engaged in. I pick up things from the applications and resume. How they present their experiences is often very informative. All of these things describe the person in someway.Mr. Li: Speaking of personal quality, I'm looking for a person of integrity. He should be loyal and honest even when things are not in his favor. He will not blame others for his mistakes, even when he might avoid trouble by doing so. A person of integrity will never sacrifice friends or the interests of the company. Of course, it' s not so easy to tell one' s uprightness from one interview, but I can get some hint from the experiences he presented. To be frank, I don' t generally like to hire a person who jumps from job to job every one or two years.Mr. Wang: Under similar working and educational background, a person with good manners will be preferred. Good manners can be judged from his dress and the way he talks. For example, wearing a gray or blue suit and a nice red or yellow silk tie with blue dots or possibly a stripe. This is the way people want you to look in business. Besides, one' s hairstyle, beards, and shoes can also give way something. During interview, a person who keeps establishing eye contact with the interviewer and smiling not only shows he is confident but he is a man of good manners. Now match each of' the schools to the appropriate statement. Note. there are two extra statements.[A] From their response to my odd and tough questions, I can tell whether they' re creative enough.[B] The candidates who showed their strong desire for the job will most probably be employed.[C] A person who can express his ideas clearly shows his good communicative skill.[D] Proper wearing and decent manners will leave a good impression on the interviewers.[E] The interviewer' s application and resume can provide some information about their personal qualities.[F] Loyalty and honesty are valuable virtues I seek in a candidate.[G] A person with high professional skill is preferred.
