填空题Richard: In my opinion, smoking is only an amusement, like playing cards, reading, etc. Many years ago, when an adult handed me a cigarette and lit it for me, I felt grown up. When I am with friends and have nothing to say, we smoke, consequently we no longer feel embarrassed. Sometimes, I light a cigarette, suffering and nervousness vanishing with the smoke, I can't help saying inwardly: Hello, cigarette, my old friend, I'm coming to meet you again. Stanton: Many people believe smokers have the right to smoke. But they also believe that others shouldn't have to pay a price. The risk of tobacco smoke is greater than the risk of radon gas is to non-smokers. We're talking maybe 40 percent greater. And if you're talking about all the carcinogenic air pollutants that EPA regulates, it's 100 times greater. Davis: According to our investigation, tobacco smoke in the home and workplace could be killing 46,000 non-smokers each year in the United States. That's 3,000 lung cancer deaths, 11,000 from other cancers and 32,000 heart disease deaths. That would make passive smoking the leading preventable cause of death in the United States after alcohol and smoking itself. Smoking kills 390,000 while alcohol 120,000. James: Passive smoking has become the principal battleground for the tobacco industry and its opponents in the 1980s. It is no longer merely a health issue, but political and environmental. Cigarette pollution is fouling the air. According to the Environmental Protection Agency's indoor air program's result, we know that the indoor environment is far more polluted than the outdoor environment. We've seen that again and again wherever we've looked all over the United States. Winston: Sir, another fact about smoking is that cigarettes give people a good deal of pleasure. There is considerable evidence, surprisingly little publicized, showing that smoking produces certain beneficial effects in human beings. Smoking counteracts some decrease in efficiency, and smokers improve their performance in complex situations while smoking. There is also evidence showing that nicotine can produce a tranquilizing effect during high emotional and shock situations, while on the other hand stimulating concentration in tedious situations. Statements A. Passive smoking is the third preventable cause of death. B. Smokers have the right to smoke. C. Smoking produces some positive effects in some complex situations. D. Second-hand smoke is more harmful to non-smokers than those cancer-inducing air pollutants. E. Cigarette pollution has caused outdoor environment even worse. F. Smoking can help people get rid of nervousness. G. Smoking is also an environmental issue.

填空题Mr. Fisher I'm an accountant and earn a good enough salary to live comfortably. Basically I'm family man, as long as I have a job which enables me to earn enough money to live, I'm happy. I find a comfortable life compensates for the fact that I have a routine life and three weeks holiday per year. I enjoy my profession up to a point, but it certainly doesn't rule my life. As soon as I get home I forget about the office. I would say basically I work to live. Miss Burnes I'm a school teacher and I like my job very much. Work plays one of the most important roles in my life. It gives me the satisfaction I need and a role in society. As far as I am concerned, I must enjoy whatever I do—even if the salary is low—otherwise I feel it isn't worth doing. Mr. Evans I used to work in industry. At that time I had a good salary and a job which involved a lot of travelling abroad. I always felt I was in the wrong job. I felt tense all the time and I suddenly realized that, in spite of security and what seemed to my friends to be an exciting job, I'd stopping enjoying simple but important things. So five years ago, I gave up the job and became a journalist and photographer. I'm very happy now because I'm doing what I want to do. Mr. Smith I'm satisfied with my job. It's coming to grips with the problems of my subject and with the problems of teaching in the University. Clearly this is the type of satisfaction that most people doing what we call in England "white collar" jobs. This is quite different from the sort of craftsman, who is either working with his hands or with his skills on a machine, or from people perhaps who are using artistic skills which are of different character. They get the sort of physical job satisfaction from their jobs. But what I get is different. Mrs. Kramer I think in our present day society, for most people work has very little value at all. Most of us go out to work for about eight to nine hours of our working day. We do things which are either totally futile and totally useless or have very little justification whatsoever, and for most of us the only reason for working is that we need to keep ourselves alive, to pay for somewhere to live, to pay to feed our children. And that's also what I think of the value of my work.StatementsA. I regard work as a means to an end.B. My work gives me mental satisfaction.C. I live to work.D. To work is a human need.E. I changed my job to do what I enjoy.F. I work because I have to.G. Work gives me a sense of independenc

填空题Norman Garrard: I went to the local grammar school. It was an all-boys' school, and we all had to wear uniform. We didn't mix much with children from other schools. It was a bit snobbish, I suppose. The syllabus was very academic. I wish the school had been co-educational. I was terribly shy of girls for a couple of years after I left school simply because I hadn't met many. Freddie Tipper: I left school when 1 was 15, and I was glad to get out. I wanted to start earning a living as soon as possible in the real world. Most of the teachers were boring, and they didn't seem to understand us. I think teachers are overpaid, and their holidays are too long. I don't know what they're always complaining about. Samantha Wharton: I was at a big comprehensive—nearly 2000 students. Because it was so big there was a wide choice of subjects and I liked that. I suppose it was a bit impersonal sometimes. I often wished it had been smaller, but the teaching was very good and there were lots of extra activities. I played in the school orchestra and helped to produce the school newspaper. William Bunter: I went to Eton, actually. I suppose I had a very privileged education. Academic standards were very high and I was able to go on to Oxford. The thing I remember most is the comradeship. The friendships I made there have lasted through my life. My only regret about boarding-school is that I didn't get to know my parents very well. I didn't see much of them after the age of eight. Darren Andrews: I went to a little village school. We were all together—boys and girls of all ages. It was like one big, happy family. It was difficult for the teacher of course—different ages and abilities—but the older children helped the younger ones. I think it was a good preparation for life. My school days were very happy. I never passed any exams, but I don't regret going to my little village school. Now match each of the speakers (16 to 20) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. Statements[A] I appreciated close relationship with my friends.[B] Teachers should be better paid.[C] I didn't have chance to meet many girls.[D] I was satisfied with our school activities.[E] I was glad to spend every weekend with my parents.[F] Working is better than studying.[G] I didn't have any good marks.

填空题Abbey: You can always recognize dieters from the sour expression on their faces. They spend most of their time turning their noses up at food. They are forever consulting calorie charts, gazing at themselves in mirrors, and leaping on to weighing-machines in the bathroom. They spend a lifetime fighting a losing battle against spreading hips, protruding tummies and double chins. What a miserable lot dieters are! Marlin: I began making some dietary and lifestyle changes during my second year of college and have been eating this way ever since. I like the way I feel when I don't eat animal foods so much more than the pleasure I used to get from eating them. I have much more energy; I need less sleep; I feel calmer; I can maintain an ideal body weight without worrying about how much I eat, and I can think more clearly. Maggie: During my first year of college, I gained forty pounds when I began throwing the javelin. For the next twenty years, I carried all of this extra weight and kidded myself that I was in good shape since that's what I weighed in college. Now that I've lost all that extra weight, I feel great! People say all the time, "Well, how do you live without eating cheeseburgers or this or that?" and I say, "You just don't. It's not even an option. It's not that hard once you get on it. " Belinda: If you are on a diet, you're always hungry. You can't be hungry and happy at the same time. All the horrible concoctions you eat instead of food leave you permanently dissatisfied. A complete food it may be, but not quite as complete as juicy steak. So at least three times a day you will be exposed to temptation. How miserable to watch others tucking into piles of mouth-watering food while you tuck a water biscuit and sip unsweetened lemon juice! And if hunger just proves too much for you, in the end you will lash out and devour five huge guilt-inducing cream cakes at a sitting. Then things will turn out to be even worse. Wood: I went on diet when my doctor told me that my blood pressure tended to be high. Only at that time did I realize the danger of being overweight. Since I began making dietary changes in 1982, eating this way has become increasingly accepted. I don't feel I've lost something after dieting. Instead, I've got something valuable. That is good health. Statements[A] Being on a diet is a torture.[B] I feel better with vegetarian food.[C] I lost weight after dieting.[D] I began dieting for the sake of health.[E] Dieting enables people to eat more than they need.[F] Dieting simply causes endless worries.[G] Dieting does more harm than good to one's health.

填空题Joan Thomas: My husband has been reduced to the condition of a vegetable. Keeping him alive is meaningless now. I'm sure that if he could speak, he would beg us to switch off that oxygen machine. Why can't he die of dignity? Seeing him in this condition is causing us all great suffering. He has been in a coma for more than five months and is being kept alive by this machine which supplies him with oxygen. I have applied to a court for permission to have the machine switched off. I believe that he would rather have died peacefully than prolonged suffering for such a long time.Doctor Williams: Mr. Thomson is clinically alive, but he has absolutely no chance of recovery. His brain has been irreparably damaged by the coma. He could remain in this condition for years. Frankly speaking, that would benefit nobody. Hospital beds are scarce and medical staff are very busy. Hundreds of patients are waiting to be treated. I would be wrong to keep Mr. Thomson here and to refuse other patients who do have a chance of recovery. If his relatives request us to switch off the machine and if the court gives us the permission, we will stop all the treatment and allow him to die a natural and painless death.Doctor Fitzsim: I'm very surprised that Doctor Williams approves of Mrs. Thomas's court application. A doctor's duty is to save people's life in whatever way he can. A doctor can never say definitely that his patient has no chance of recovery, however bad the situation may seem. I've seen patients in the same conditions suddenly regain consciousness after several months and become relatively healthy again. Human life is far too invaluable to put an end to it for the convenience of others. Medical science has made great progress over the last 20 years with the development of new drugs and operational techniques. Many diseases can now be cured and the lives of incurable patients may be prolonged.Graham Blanchard: Right now, there are thousands of incurable patients lying helplessly in bed, suffering pain and misery and wishing they could be allowed to die. But the doctors are afraid to help with their death for fear of legal or professional impact. I propose that doctors be allowed to discontinue treatment or administer lethal doses of painkillers if requested to do so by patients suffering from incurable diseases, or, in the case of Mr. Thomas, by their relatives. It's time the law recognized the fact the people not only have a right to live in dignity, they also have the right to die in dignity too.Sidney Best: Any doctor who, with the intention of putting an end to the life of a patient, performs acts which lead to the death of patient, may be convicted of murder, under the present law. No court is empowered to give the right to do such acts and therefore Mrs. Thomson's application is certain to be rejected. But if parliament passes Mr. Blanchard Bill, the situation will change drastically. Doctors will be given the right to kill patients on request, thus making helpless patients in all kinds of dangers. There might be conspiracy between doctors and potential heirs, spouses wishing to remarry, even potential receivers of organ transplants. The intention of this Bill many be good, but the possibilities of abuse are too numerous for it to be passed. Now match each of the persons (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. Statements[A] A doctor's duty is to save his patient's life not to end it.[B] Doctors should be given the right to decide whether to stop an incurable patient's life.[C] My husband should be given the right to die of dignity.[D] It would be better for everyone that Mr. Thomas die a natural and painless death.[E] Doctors are afraid of mercy killing.[F] We should not pass the Bill for mercy killing, simply because it would put many patients' lives in danger.[G] People have the right to die in dignity.

填空题 {{B}}Sharon Brage:{{/B}} I was walking in the shopping center when a car went straight on and knocked me over. That's why I am in this hospital now. Although I was not in danger of life, yet the bones of both my legs are broken. Doctors say I might not be able to walk steadily afterwards. The driver was going too fast. High Street is a shopping centre, not a car racing place. There are old people and children crossing the street all the time. Cars should not be allowed into the shopping centre. Why should everybody suffer because a few selfish people are too lazy to walk to the shops?{{B}}Jack Bream:{{/B}} Well, my sympathy to the lady who was hurt by my car in the shopping center. Yet what could I do? She stepped straight out of the shop and into the road without looking. I think she is lucky to be alive. I am actually a very careful driver and have never had any accident before. She should have used at least the zebra-crossing. I simply don't understand these ladies with many bags and parcels in their arms and walk on as if there were no cars at all. The police should stop people from walking on the road. Roads are for cars, not for people.{{B}}George Forest:{{/B}} Accidents like this happen all the time. When people are shopping, they think about nothing else. They forget about road safety altogether. The drivers are just as bad. They become impatient with traffic jams and parking problems make them careless. There is only one way to prevent accidents here, and that's by banning cars from using High Street. This old town was built before the age of motor cars, so most of its streets are too narrow for heavy traffic. To protect the old buildings, we should build a by-pass to go around the shopping center and to divert the through traffic from it too. The situation in High Street calls for a special solution. Up until now, drivers have been allowed to come and go as they please. But every town needs traffic-free areas where people eau relax in peace and safety. Parks and shopping centers should be completely closed to all motor vehicles.{{B}}Joe Dixion:{{/B}} These days everyone needs a car. It's the cheapest, fastest, most comfortable way to get around. It's especially convenient for shopping. Why wait in the rain for crowded buses and struggle with heavy parcels? Go by car. Of course there are traffic problems. That's not because there are too many cars but because there are too few roads. The Government should spend a little of our tax money on widening High Street, building new highways and more car parks in the downtown area.{{B}}Herbert Rawlins:{{/B}} Drivers are selfish. They only think of their own comfort and forget about the suffering they cause, other people. They poison our air with waste and gas. They shatter our ears with noise They wreck our nerves with dangerous driving. Beautiful old buildings are torn down to make room for car parks. The countryside is scarred with new highways. The society sacrifices too much for cars. Who actually benefits? Nobody. Not even the drivers themselves, because they suffer from poor health through lack of physical exercises and nervous tension. {{B}}Now match each of the persons (61 to 65 ) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. Statements{{/B}}[A] Both the drivers and the people shopping should be responsible for the present situation in High Street.[B] Cars are the bad things which do not do any people any good.[C] What caused the accident and my suffering should be considered and dealt with to find a good solution.[D] Even a careful driver can get into an accident.[E] It is the Government who should take the responsibility not the people who have ears.[F] We shouldn't tear down our old buildings to build new roads. On the contrary, we should protect our old buildings.[G] People shopping around in High Street should be careful of the traffic and use the zebra-crossing.

填空题Pritt

填空题 {{B}}Samuel:{{/B}} The criticism that what students learn today is not fit for modern society is completely wrong because education can never be judged only from the point of view of how useful the subjects are when students leave school. We ought to evaluate education in terms of how much the students enjoy those subjects and how much they mean to those students. Rather than being trained to be practical, students should be encouraged to do things for their own sake, and study what they are interested in.{{B}}Matthew:{{/B}} Many people give out proposals of how to improve education and some suggest raising the salaries of teachers mid professors. Of course ,this is significant to education. However, increasing the salary of teachers is just one method to improve education. It won't be effective without the cooperation of the other important factors, such as students' love of knowledge and reading. Even if the teachers are devoted, it will make no sense if the students are not willing to learn.{{B}}Cheney:{{/B}} I think it's a great disgrace people don't learn anything today. You find people who can't read properly, can't even write their names and don't know what two and two is without the help of a calculator. I think it's downright shameful. I remember when I was young you went to school to learn. You did as you were told and showed respect to your teachers. Now you find that students show no interest in anything. No wonder they don't learn anything.{{B}}Aimee:{{/B}} Well, people have different opinions on this, but I think it is probably wrong to imagine that there was some golden age in the past when everything was perfect. It all depends, of course, on what you evaluate and how you evaluate it. It may surprise some people that there has not been an obvious and remarkable increase in the standard of education, considering the vast amounts of money spent in this area by successive governments in recent years. But unfortunately, most improvements in education are hard to measure.{{B}}Jackson:{{/B}} Well, in my opinion, it's all these modern methods that are the problem. In the old days you sat in rows at desks and you did as you were told. You knew that you had to do and you did it — and you kept quiet. Nowadays, good god, the noise in most schools is unbearable especially primary schools. The children walk around — do more or less what they want to as far as I can see. The teacher just sits there or wanders around with them, talking to them. Informal teaching they call it. Discover methods. Sounds more like a recipe for discovering disaster to me.{{I}} Now match each of the persons (61 to 65 ) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements.{{/I}}{{B}} Statements{{/B}}[A] Education is developing gradually.[B] Students should get what they need or want from education.[C] Education standards are higher than in tile past.[D] Education covers both teaching and learning.[E] Many students are spoilt by our present-day education system.[F] Schools should lay emphasis on practical skills.[G] Educational standards are on the decline.

填空题P. Howard: Every day thousands of people in Asia and Africa die of starvation. Millions more suffer from malnutrition and disease. All this misery could be prevented if the rich nations kept their promise to provide one per-cent of their annual Gross National Product in assistance to developing countries. Last year they gave on average less than 0.4%. That isn't much, is it? Obviously they could have give more than that, and they certainly should have played a more important role in doing this.J. Adams: There are poor people in our own country. We should take care of them before we start giving money to foreigners. In this city we have 20,000 home-less families, 4,000 sick or disabled people. There is no point in squander our precious money. Let the rich princes and the corrupt dictators of Africa take care of their own people. It's nothing to do with us. Why should we be responsible for their wrongdoing? Why should we be supposed to look after their people?D. Graham: A few years ago there was a terrible famine in the countries bordering the Sahara Desert. Thousands of people died. They could have been saved if a few dams had been built to collect water during the raining season. They've been asking for help for years, but they never got it. Why is it that the rich countries can afford to develop supersonic aircraft, space shuttles and rockets and nuclear weapons powerful enough to destroy the whole world, and yet they can't afford to build a few dams that could save thousands of lives? I simply don't understand this. The developed countries throw away millions of money into their space projects, and they even grudged just a little money for the poor people. In America, people die of heart diseases from overeating. How call they imagine starvation? Most American dogs eat more and better than the children in Bangladesh. American farmers destroy surplus food in order to keep the prices high. Nobody will pay to send it to people who are dying of starvation. They just don't care. Why could things be so different for people in the developing countries? They are also human beings, aren't they?H. Wilson: I got what I have by hard work and sacrifice. It's about time the poor countries learned to do the same. They could build huge manufacturing industries if the people were prepared to work instead of begging. Their main problem is over-population. Whose fault is that? When beggars are allowed to have ten children, how can a poor country expect to develop? When you first have so many mouths to feed, how can you think of better housing and good education system. They have got too many problems.P. Mombo: For hundreds of years we were exploited by colonialism. Our men were taken as slaves, our natural resources were stolen, our industries were suppressed. As a result of these, Europe and North America became rich and we have nothing. Now it's time to repay the debt. We must be given money to build export industries and to develop our farms. We can take care of ourselves if we are given a fair chance. I have complete faith in my people. They are honest and hard working if only can they stand a chance to start. Now match each of the persons (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. Statements[A] We were exploited in the past and now the rich nations should pay their debt.[B] People in the developing countries should build huge manufacturing industries.[C] People are getting too fat in America because they eat too much food and suffer from over-nutrition.[D] What we should consider first is our own problems at home.[E] The rich are getting richer and the poor poorer simply because the rich don't care about the poor.[F] The rich nations failed to keep their promise to give 1% of their annual Gross National Product in assistance to developing countries, causing serious problem there.[G] I made myself a success through hard work. Begging for money does not really help the poor countries.

填空题 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.Caryn Cook: My husband had lived 35 years before he met me and could hardly have lived another 35 without my help. I' d heard all the evidence linking weight and health. Poultry and fish become mainstays. I discovered unusual fresh fruits and vegetables, and tried new kinds of salads, fresh herbs. I sometimes dressed up raw or steamed vegetables with a low-calorie salad dressing or a low-fat yogurt.Joan Barron: My husband, five-foot-eleven mate weighed 238 pounds—well over what insurance charts recommend. Each meal I cook should include a selection from each of three groups: 1 ) fruits and vegetables; 2) animal foods and legumes (fish, poultry, meat, egg, cheese, milk, beans, etc. ); and 3) pasta and staples (potatoes, rice, bread, cereal, etc. )Aoya Bateman: I realized that I had been helping to overwork my husband's heart with steak, baked potatoes and pastry desserts. Most "junk food" (fried, sugary or over processed. and desserts are filled with calories that are fattening but have little or no nutritional value. A piece of candy may have the same 100 calories as a tablespoon of peanut butter, but it offers the body nothing but sugar—whereas peanut butter is high in nutrients.Betty Weiss: I did not just cut out foods because they were fattening. Instead, I serve them less frequently. I also decreased the serving size of fattening main dishes while increasing that of vegetables. And I would crush skinless chicken breasts to make them look bigger. To restrict portions without making your man feel cheated, serve meat by the slice.Margaret Stuller: Water aids digestion and has no calories. Many fruit juices can be very fattening. To get my husband to drink at least four eight-ounce glasses a day, I often serve him a combination of sparkling and plain water, or flavoring it with lime, orange or mint. Note: there are two extra statements.{{B}} Statements{{/B}}A. Exercise persistently.B. Encourage the drinking of water.C. Avoid empty calories.D. Encourage your husband to share the chores.E. Serve nutritionally balanced meals.F. Limit portions.G. Introduce palate-pleasing substitutes.

填空题Kenneth: Is this saying really true? I have experienced much pain, sadness and sufferings before I find true happiness. I believe it's true that we have to go through pain and suffering to be happy. I think everybody would agree that if we want something, we have to work for it. It feels good to look back at the things you've gone through when you finally got what you wanted. If we worked hard and achieve something, we feel happy.Andrea: Happiness for me is when I feel loved by those I love.., there arc a few persons who can make me feel high for days when they tell me sweet words, compliments, etc.., or just show they care about me as much as I do about them. Happiness is also when I don't worry, when I know that the persons I love are alive, healthy and ok. And it is when I have hope about something I wish to come true.., hope is important.Thomas: In a world like this, where there is no kind of' stability, no possibility of anything lasting, but where everything is thrown into a restless whirlpool of change, where everything hurries on, flies, and is maintained in the balance by a continual advancing and moving, it is impossible to imagine happiness. It cannot dwell where, as Plato says, continual Becoming and never Being is all that takes place.Robinson: I believe and agree that happiness is based on disposition on the position, it's internally based not external. It's how you look up on things, not how things is working on for you. Happiness is a gift, you must accept to receive it. It's a state or feelings of pride ,joy, contentment, love and the like or a combination of one or all of this feeling. Lastly, I believe it varies on each person receiving or experiencing it, depending on how they express, explain or realize the feelings of bappiness within them.Barbara: The rich are not likely to be happier than the middle income group or even those with very low incomes. People with college education are somewhat happier titan those who didn't graduate from high school, and it is believed that this is mainly because they have more opportunity to control their lives. Yet people with a high income and a college education may be less happy than those with the same income and no college education. Now match each of the persons (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements.Statements[A] Happiness is attained only when in a state of steadiness and stillness.[B] Happiness derives from your satisfaction in life.[C] Happiness is an attitude toward life and how you feel about life.[D] The more opportunities you can control your lives, the happier you may be.[E] No pains, no gains.[F] Happiness is achieved only when you are healthy.[G] You feel happy when you love and are loved.
