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.
